The Nidoran perked up at the mention of the treats, as much as it seemed to regret it immediately afterward. Like most Pokemon of his nature, he didn't want to show interest. However, like most Pokemon, he also couldn't resist the allure of the treats Leon kept handy.

Seeing the two get along a little bit better, the boy smiled a bit. “Well, I think we could do to set out if you think you're ready to,” he stated. “I packed enough supplies to last both of us to Pewter City. We'd just need to manage through the forest. Shouldn't be that difficult. We just have to be careful to avoid any nests of Beedrill. I've always wanted to go out and study the Pokemon out there.” He grinned a bit at the thought. One of his favorites had always been Butterfree, giving him extra motivation for heading out that way.

Of course, the other choice was Pallet Town. The only thing to accomplish there was to grab a Pokedex if the Professor was feeling generous. With Leon's knowledge, though, that became less pivotal to their adventures.
