A satisfied smile stretched across Basil's face as he watched the Jumpluff... only to see that once free one of them began to drift into one of the tree branches and lodge itself in again. [color=8493ca]"Nononono- Dang it..."[/color] His shoulders slumped in disappointment though he straightened up once he heard a child's laughter. He turned to see that it was Archie who probably watched what Basil and Anise did. Truth be told, if it wasn't Archie's laughter, he probably would have booked it lest he had some grisly end like in a B movie horror flick.

Basil was less disappointed to know that they could just get themselves out though now he just felt silly for assuming they couldn't get out whenever they wanted. Still, it was nice to know that they appreciated their efforts and apparently Archie did to. [color=8493ca]"Oh, uh, thank you Archie."[/color] He said as he examined the disk. It was strange, Archie's request for some reason sat funny with him.

He had nothing to ask Archie. Sure, he was curious about this part of the village, but he figured he could just figure out the gist on his own Basil had returned Glory to his Pokeball though left Crocus out seeing that the Bulbasaur was enjoying this pollenated environment. 

The young noble glanced down at the TM that Anise was holding and then back up at some of the grass-types that resided in these woods. [color=8493ca]"Huh, you know, those Breloom sound like they're up your alley. Maybe you should catch whatever they evolve from and use that TM?"[/color] He suggested. She was agonizing about building out her team more and these certainly looked like fighting-types.

[color=8493ca]"Well, I doubt that there is anything we could reasonably catch here, but let's keep an eye out anyway. There could always be something else."[/color] Basil stepped forward with Crocus by his side as he intended to go deeper into the forest. He and his Bulbasaur would keep an eye out for anything unusual, Pokemon or otherwise. 

As he walked, he kept replaying everything that's happened on his journey: discovering Landorus, his trip to Dragon Lake, and Stella and the mysterious boy. Beneath those thoughts was an undercurrent. Why did Archie asking him to continue to be kind bothered him? 

[color=8493ca]"You know, you're honestly kinda amazing."[/color] Basil randomly said to Anise while he was looking around though he realized just how weird it was to randomly just say that. [color=8493ca]"Sorry, that was out of the blue, wasn't it? I guess I've just had a lot to think lately."[/color]  

He looked like he was struggling to find the right words to convey the mess in his head. Eventually he said, [color=8493ca]"In my part of the world, you're exceptional because you're born into an exceptional family. You never have to try because really, what do you have to prove? You're a noble, you're number one among other number ones trying to get one up another. Well, not all of them are that bad, but there's enough to make you nauseas."[/color]

Basil focused on Anise and said, [color=8493ca]"You're different; you're earnest in everything you do because you care to put in the effort and because you care about the people around you and the region. It's admirable, I like that about you. By comparison, I'm much more selfish. My goals are more for myself than for anyone else."[/color]
