After taking the picture - fun, of course - it was time for part of why they were here. Of course, that's not how David interpreted it.


[i]Oh cool, free stuff! These people are nice.[/i]


That was what went through his mind as he got the Pokedex and Pokeballs. Truthfully, he was too distracted by a certain text message to pay very close attention. [i]Hee hee, Nils has rabbit ears.[/i] Something about getting paid to catch Pokemon? Okay, he could do that. Beyond that, something else had appeared: a challenge.


[quote=Batniling Trainer][color=F27357]"You came here with your pokemon already. Oh, and you, too, David-"[/color] Nils looked over at the enthusiastic older boy, beckoning him over with a nod of his head. He hadn't missed the fact that David hadn't claimed a pokeball. To the both of them who had that in common (and one other surprising thing that others were unaware of), Nils said, [color=F27357]"I'm curious how long you've been with your partner pokemon. And... I was wondering if you more [i]experienced[/i] trainers were interested in a little competition? I want to see how strong this guy is."[/color][/quote]


Yes, this was way more interesting than a phone. David grinned, intending to accept the challenge. But then, Faye spoke up.


[quote=Picture Planner]"[color=D2691E]Hey! So, we were going to head out. David, Nils, did you guys want to tag along with me and...-[/color]" she quickly checked her phone when she realized she hadn't caught the other girl's name before looking back up at the group - "[color=D2691E]Regan? Or were you going to set out with these two? Or with each other...? There's this cool fountain in the center of Grand Glory that I've been dying to get a picture of. So -[/color]" She looked at Regan. "[color=D2691E]That's our first stop, if you don't mind. But we'll head elsewhere where we can see if we can add to our team pretty shortly after that.[/color]"[/quote]


Aaaaand he forgot all about the Pokemon fight.


“That sounds cool! We can do tourist stuff, yeah. Come on, Nils!” David gave the long-haired man a friendly slap on the back, as if he had already agreed to it. Either way, the psychic trainer cared more about [i]experiencing[/i] the new parts of the world than taking pictures of them, but the latter was cool too. And even he could tell Faye was really passionate about this. Her interest interested him; people who were excited by their interests were usually interesting to be around.


When the new group of four left, the Kanto native took the time to thank everyone in the lab - from the typical workers all the way up to the head honchos there - in his own way, of course.


“Good bye, everyone! Thanks for everything!” he yelled as they exited the building.


On the walk to the fountain, wherever it was (he would trust Faye on this), David would look around the city. His eyes darted in random directions, until eventually they settled on a random Pidgey perched on a lamp post.


“Dibs,” the muscular man said to Regan (who probably hadn't even seen it), and he threw a Pokeball at the creature. The bird didn't realize that the sphere was heading its way until it was too late, so it was unable to avoid the object. And after a few shakes, the Pokemon was officially caught.


After this, David smiled and floated the Pokeball back into his hand with his powers.


“Got it!” He excitedly declared, then remembered “I'm David, by the way. Who are you?”
