The comments barely received a response from Leo, currently crouched near some of the taller bits of grass to observe one of the Hoppips. He was jotting down notes in his notebook, having already scanned it into the Pokedex. Well, he knew he could get more information from catching them. He had been hesitant before, intimidated by the older trainer who just seemed to want to push on. This was the first time he had really been able to explore and observe, though...it was starting to get the better of him.

Ema glanced over at his offer, looking at the odd Pokeballs in his hand. She had been fine with keeping pace with Leo, not minding the slow movement as she got to battle a bit more. She found ways to entertain herself and Tyrant was getting the experience he needed in battle. [color=red]"Appreciate it, but I don't know a hand out,"[/color] she replied with a smirk. That sounded interesting at least. Maybe Shinx would be her first Pokemon after Tyrant.

Despite her words, she did take one of the balls, though. Without missing a beat, she tossed it over towards Leo lazily. [color=red]"Leo, think fast!"[/color] she called out.

The other trainer jerked up quickly at hearing his name. His hand reached up quickly, blocking his face, but entirely missing the Pokeball as it hit his arm and fell down in front of him. He looked at it for a moment before picking it up and looking it over. [color=mediumpurple]"A...Quick Ball?"[/color] he questioned before glancing back over at the Hoppip he had been studying. It was beginning to bounce away, deeper down the path.

[color=red]"Don't waste it. Our gracious guide offered it to us,"[/color] she commented, waving it off as she was already heading forward. [color=red]"Let's go, Tyr. We're gonna find this Shinx."[/color]

[color=mediumpurple]"Uh...ah...thank you, sir,"[/color] Leo said, bowing his head slightly. He pressed the button to let it shrink in his hand before slipping it into his pocket. He'd hold on to this one for the moment. He looked back only to see his most recent interest gone. With a small sigh, he got back to his feet, moving to follow along the rest of the group. [color=mediumpurple]"Er...sir...is it true that some of the Pokemon here only show up at night?"[/color] He had been quiet and too himself for most of the journey, but the thought had occurred to him.

With their pace, he might have to double back if he wanted to study all the Pokemon here.
