And now Felix was back in angry Yamper mode. Or would it be angry Furfrou mode since he is from Kalos. Of course Ferris knew that he shouldn't put gasoline on a fire, but this schtick with Felix after he apologized to the gremlin was starting to get old fast. [color=0072bc]"I don't see why you need to lash out. All I'm saying is that there is so little planning we can do when we're just at the starting line and honestly, we really don't need to. We have the rare opportunity that no one else in our time has to just walk in any direction where we feel like it and make historical and scientific discoveries. Landmarks and goals will just come naturally as we explore so there really is no point in getting so hung up on the details right now."[/color]

In the middle of the discussion, they were interrupted by an elderly man pulling along cart loaded with boxes and other supplies courtesy of the Exploration Office. He then handed their group a black box and then a couple of walkie talkie looking things. For someone even like Ferris this was new to him; a box that could generate revives and a radio/tracker for air-dropping supplies. Something like this would have amazing for his own expeditions around the globe. So this was the power of government funding.

Now with their gifts in tow, the group was back to discussing what they should do. The side-eye that Felix threw at Ferris did not go un-noticed, but he was indifferent to the Yamper's pettiness. It would take more than a mean look to rile him him. However, there was actually a pang of worry when Felix suggested going to the other islands. [color=0072bc]"It would be better to hold off on going to the smaller islands for now,"[/color]said Ferris. He was not trying to be a contrarian to get on Felix's nerves though just him breathing seemed to do that alone and he certainly wasn't doing this out of fear of his own safety. [color=0072bc]"As I see it, it's too risky to cross to the smaller islands as we are even with a supply drop. I'd be fine if it were just me, but we have two very inexperienced trainers and I'm worried that they'll hurt themselves when we would be even more isolated.[/color] 

[color=0072bc]"We should explore more of the mainland first. The Northern Coast is a good starting point so let's go with that. If we're lucky we could start setting up a base-camp today."[/color] It wasn't that Ferris lacked any faith in Arlo and Botan. Okay, maybe a little, but it was mainly out of concern for their well being and their growth as trainers. It was one thing to start their journey in a developed region, but it was entirely different matter when it was an uncharted island. Any mistake they made on the island was magnified.
