That she may be left behind. [color=8493ca]"I wouldn't take it personally. You didn't get a chance to show her how capable you are or perhaps she knows from Lorette the purpose of your journey and doesn't want to burden you with more than you're already dealing with."[/color] Basil smiled reassuringly and then said, [color=8493ca]"But I won't complain if you want in. We're partners, aren't we?"[/color] Basil went silent for a second and then looked mildly embarrassed. [color=8493ca]"I, uh, that sounded less cringey in my head."[/color] Before they walked, Basil glanced down at the Meditite. He couldn't remember if that was one of the Pokemon she had out when they first met, or rather, the time she almost jumped him. It was kind of crazy how the situation flipped from nearly being attacked by her to now travelling side-by-side. As they walked Basil decided to share what was going through his head. [color=8493ca]"I'm thinking we may need to make a pitstop when we leave the village though I'm not sure where to go. If we stopped by Cooldome we could get some guidance and training from strong trainers, and it would at least be on the way to Raremine. On the other hand, if we stopped by the Private Palace, I could maybe get us a couple of favors from David Strickland to help us with tracking Landorus."[/color] He grimaced at the very thought of using any of his connections for his personal gain... But he could not deny that if there was anyone that could help Anise and maybe help him circumvent the six Pokemon limit so he could keep Stella on his person. [color=8493ca]"Though before we leave, I really need to check out the herb store again... Oh right you weren't there for that. Long story short me and an herbalist named Earl, like Earl Gray, helped the store develop products. Well, I offered some berries I had, and he did the work, but I did some advertising. Kinda wanna see how that worked out."[/color] Basil blinked a few times before he realized he was dominating the conversation. [color=8493ca]"Sorry, I'm rambling again. Do you have any thoughts on where we should go?"[/color] As they talked, Basil had realized that this part of the village was more overgrown with a higher pollen count. Luckily, her Meditite kept them from stepping on a flower that was actually a Pokemon. Of course, Anise was concerned and for understandable reasons. With a sheepish smile he said, [color=8493ca]"Honestly, I think I just instinctively headed towards the quietest part in the village. It's beautiful though, isn't it? It's so much different than back home."[/color] He walked slightly ahead of Anise and looked around at the Pokemon that made their home here. He chuckled nervously. [color=8493ca]"Albeit one wrong step and we're cooked, but I don't think we need to worry. Just be a polite guest, watch your step, and we're safe... probably."[/color] He looked up at the trees to see some Jumpluff were lodged in the trees. [color=8493ca]"Although it looks like some of them are stuck. How about we do a good deed?"[/color] Basil grabbed a couple of his Pokeballs from his belt and tossed them to reveal Crocus, the Bulbasaur, and Glory the Hawlucha. [color=00a99d]"Bulba!"[/color] The Bulbasaur cried out happily. Crocus seemed to love how green and pollenated the forest was. [color=ed1c24]"Haw!"[/color] Glory struck a pose, flexing its birdy muscles. Basil looked down and smiled at them. [color=8493ca]"Hey Crocus, hey Glory. Mind lending a hand with getting those Jumpluff out of the trees?"[/color] His Pokemon nodded in response, and he knelt down to give them a gentle head pat. Looking back up at the Jumpluffs in the general vicinity, he called out to them. [color=8493ca]"Um, hey Jumpluffs? We're gonna help you out so be cool, okay?"[/color] Basil would have Glory nimbly try to help to dislodge the Jumpluff from the trees and if needed use a Karate Chop on any branches if they were too stuck. Crocus would extend its vines from its back and try to tug them out if possible though if it were not the Bulbasaur would try to break them with vine whip.
