The two listened quietly, Ema's eyes already wandering over the town she hadn't seen since she was little. Leo's eyes were fixed to Isaac, listening intently to his instructions. He glanced over towards the red roofed building at the end of the explanation, considering his options before turning towards Ema. [color=mediumpurple]"I think I'm going to the Pokecenter first. I found a Hoothoot that I think ran into your Shinx,"[/color] he explained. [color=mediumpurple]"Want me to meet you somewhere?"[/color]

Ema grinned a bit as she gave a shrug. [color=red]"I'll tag along. Shinx could use rest too,"[/color] she said. She didn't state it clearly, but she was worried to leave him alone in a new city. Neither of them had left New Bark Town often, but she knew he had been more of a homebody than she was. Leaving him alone in a new place like this was worrying to her, even if it's only a small town. [color=red]"Maybe we can get them healed up and take a look around? You've never been to the beach before, right?"[/color]

Leo returned her grin at that, nodding a bit. [color=mediumpurple]"I like that idea. Okay, let's go."[/color] The two made their way to the Pokecenter without much more discussion, taking in the sights as they went. It was a nicer view than either were used to...it was a wonder that it was just a day's walk from New Bark Town itself. Not long after, they were in the center, handing over their Pokeballs to the attendant at the desk. It only took a few minutes for them to run through the machine. Ema wasn't quite sure how it worked, but they came out right as rain afterwards. It was probably a mixture of some healing items that brought them back up to peak condition. It was a wonder they didn't need to pay for that, but it was probably fronted by the Pokemon League to make this possible.

With their friends back in hand, the two set off again to journey through the town, taking in the sights and enjoying the short break before they would be hitting the road again.
