[Right]Route 29[/Right][hr]

Well, Ema seemed to at least like the challenge of finding and probably fighting said rumored Shinx. She also gave her Quick Ball to her friend, who probably needed it more, based on his actions so far. As she tossed it over at her friend, Isaac was just a [i]little[/i] disappointed it didn't hit him in the noggin, but he at least had some decent reflexes, hopefully that meant he wouldn't get eaten alive by anything even remotely threatening. Well, probably not anyways. 

It was about this time that Anchor had returned to him once more from another scuffle with the local Hoppip. Although this time he seemed to have a couple of wounds, likely from a Sentret or something. Well, training is training, so he'd take what he could get. His mind then returned to the Shinx. Anchor hadn't gotten his ground typing yet, so he was still vulnerable to electrical attacks. He'd just have to hope they didn't run into any, or that the kids would take care of it. Either that, or shut it down quickly with superior power. He turned his head towards Ema as he gave her some advice. [color=eebc27]"If we do manage to find one of these Shinx, they [i]will[/i] try and blind you with an electric flash, and then either attack or escape while you're disoriented. Given that there's many of us, and likely only one of them, my bet is on the latter."[/color]

He returned Anchor to his ball. That was probably enough for him for now. Any more and he might might end up getting too overworked for when he really needed to fight. After all, Kick wasn't exactly allowed to fight. Speaking of, where was the big bird anyways? Isaac looked around somewhat confused. He usually stuck pretty close, though with the slow pace they were going at, he might've taken the opportunity to run around a little bit. Last he saw he was closest to Leo, likely interested in whatever Leo was doing with his little book. Actually, where was Leo?

Isaac flinched slightly as he heard Leo's voice from beside him. When did he get there? He should probably start paying more attention to his surroundings, given that he was basically taking care of two seriously green trainers. What a hassle. It also looked like Kick was further ahead in the path, the big red bird now standing out much more from all the green around. He seemed to be kicking something on the ground. A knocked out pokemon? Regardless, Leo had a question, and Isaac was thankful it wasn't something completely stupid, like, "What are grass types weak to?"

[color=eebc27]"Yes, some Pokémon only appear at night, or at least, become more active at night. Around here however it's mainly just Hoothoots. Rattata become more common, too, but you can already find those now. Do keep in mind that the inverse is true as well, in that there are Pokémon that only appear in the daytime, such as Pidgey and Sentret. Some even are only active during specific times of the day, or in certain weather conditions like rain. I won't reveal everything for you though. The whole discovery thing is your main reason for this I imagine, given your habit of scanning and note-taking."[/color]

Isaac pointed over at a small building within the trees, it was a checkpoint for separating the routes. [color=eebc27]"That's the checkpoint for route 46. We can't actually go that way yet, due to the mountainous terrain, but that does mean that we're a little over hallway to Cherrygrove. Let's keep going."[/color]
