The young boy seemed more interested in scanning things with his pokedex and taking notes rather than trying to actually do any battling to toughen his team up. But, that wasn't Isaac's problem. If he wanted to be unprepared for the road ahead, then so be it. The girl on the other hand was much like him when he first started, trying to see and experience everything around. Kick, while usually sticking close to Isaac, was more than happy to socialize with the two young trainers. Their pace had begun to slow as they explored deeper into route 29, mostly due to the efforts of the young boy. Isaac rolled his eyes as the steps he took became shorter and shorter. Well, there was no time like the present to get some amount of training in. He grabbed the Pokéball from his belt and tossed out his Mudkip, Anchor. The little Mudkip beginning to run small circles around Isaac's legs in excitement. Eventually, Isaac scooped up the Mudkip, holding it out in front of him under its arms. [color=eebc27]"Alright, little man, your training begins now. We're starting you off on Hoppips. The ones around here dont fight back much, if at all."[/color] He crouched down next to Anchor, pointing to a nearby round and pink leafy Pokemon bumbling around. [color=eebc27]"Go use Tackle on it until gets knocked out."[/color] The Mudkip would let out a small [b]"Mud!"[/b] before charging quite literally headfirst into the Hoppip. Isaac turned towards the other two. [color=eebc27]"Come on you two, we're about halfway there, the south part of Route 46 is up ahead if you're [i]really[/i] interested. We can't really go that way due to the ledges, but you might be able to find the stray Geodude or Spearow if you're into that. I'd personally like to make it to Cherrygrove before nightfall."[/color] He began to take a step towards the Mudkip running back towards him, when he turned back once more. [color=eebc27]"Oh, and by the way, rumor has it that Shinx have been seen around here recently. Don't get too close, they're pretty territorial, and will try and zap you for approaching. So either get ready for a fight or..."[/color] Isaac rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. He supposed it couldn't hurt to help these two out, if it made the trip faster. [color=eebc27]"...You can use one of these."[/color] Isaac reached into his bag, pulling out two small blue Pokéballs with two yellow stripes in an "X" pattern. He pressed the buttons on them to bring them to normal size. He held them out towards the two [color=eebc27]"I'll be honest, I don't actually know how these work, but they have a pretty high catch rate when you initiate a battle."[/color] Isaac let out a sly grin. [color=eebc27]"Hey, the League said I couldn't bring any Pokémon with me, but they never said anything about items. I think I've earned that privilege at least."[/color]
