Devon Lyton
Shock the Ampharos,
Cyan the Marill,
Quill the Monferno,
Missy the Mismagius,
Nasir the Zoroark[New Amber Town - Outside the Pokémon Center]@Ninian@Uccello@Experiment 249@Zardoric@Leoven@void liegeLeo's guess of Shock being Devon's Contest partner was a good one to say the least, but the teen promptly shook his head and grinned as his eye's drifted over to the black swordsman.
"Good guess, but nah. Shock hates Contests. No it was actually my-"Devon cut himself off as his vision focused fully on Nasir's face. It was beat red, and the 'man's' teal eye's were desperately attempting to avoid the looking at either the Trainer or the Coordinator. Guilt began to wash over the teen's face as his grin receded into an awkward frown.
"....It was actually my Marill." He said quietly.
This odd answer caused Cyan to tilt her head and look up at her Trainer with shiny blue eyes.
<Huh?> It took her a moment, but her gaze trailed over to Nasir and caused her ears to droop.
Leo released his Lilligant, and began to ignore the conversation at hand to pick up one with other nearby Trainer's. That was a little weird, but it at least gave Devon time to inch closer to to Nasir and whisper.
"Sorry Nasir. I won't say anything if you don't want me to. We can talk later if you want."With Nasir's true identity still a mystery, Devon walked back over to Leo to join the conversation at hand. And by that, it means hang just on the edge of it. The crowd made him a bit nervous, and the last thing he wanted was attention.
....This is probably why Nasir's all embarrassed....A talking Pokémon would turn alot of heads around here....Can't blame em... The teen shifted a bit on his feet as he watched from over Leo's shoulder and waited for an opening. A woman that appeared to be a Police officer had a slender green Pokémon in her arms and seemed to be taking advice from both the tall man in a trench coat with a Blaziken, a man that looked waaaay to heavily dressed for the weather, and now Leo as he rattled on about how Lila used to hate him when he first received her. The story made Devon smile and cross his arms as he looked back down at Shock. The Ampharos was currently staring up at the stone around the Blaziken's neck.
So Leo had the same issues that I had with Shock when I first got him......It just goes to show with a bit of time and trust, you can make friends with any Pokémon...Then something came up in the conversation that caught Devon a bit off guard. After the wealthy Contest go'er had finished his story, he turned back to the Trainer with the Blaziken and began to introduce himself. But his introduce was laced with distaste. Mostly towards Devon seeing as he had ignored the boy earlier, commented about how he favoured older people to talk to, (understandable, but Devon himself wasn't that far off in age to the man) and then finally said how he refused to be friends with those that battle. The comment struck a cord in the crimson hooded teenager, and made him stare past Leo's left shoulder. His face contorting a bit in confusion and...Disappointment?
....Really? Is that what that look was for earlier? He doesn't want anything to do with me just cause I battle with my Pokémon and am a bit younger?.....What's his problem? Who cares if you like to battle? It doesn't make you a bad person as long as your Pokémon are cool with it.....And it's not like I rubbed it in his face or anything. I tried to talk about Contests and stuff to break the ice too..... A sigh came from the teen as he turned away from the conversation and began walking over to the Pokémon and two girls gathered around the huge Dragonite.
...Fine. If he wants to be a close minded jerk and not say it to my face, forget em. At least Julia's still sociable to people that aren't into her hobbies.....I'll be sure to mention something if I get the chance though... Thankfully, it seemed the over dressed man had a problem with Leo too. The capped man apparently noticed his disapproval earlier and was confronting him for it. Good.
Devon and the rest of his team came over near the girl and her Dragonite. The teen looking up at the large Dragon Pokémon and whistling.
"Whoa...A Dragonite....Cool. Hi there buddy." The excited girl that appeared to be the Dragon's owner was currently bouncing around and admiring the Police officer's Grass-type and the trench coated man's Blaziken. The hoodied teen reached over and poked the small girl in the shoulder. Maybe she would be better to talk to? It seemed everyone else was preoccupied with Leo, and Devon didn't want anything to do with him unless he was given a chance to talk in private.
Here's hoping talking to Jill last December made me better at talking with younger kids....She seems a little weird though....This Dragonite's her....Dad?....Eh, Sam's pretty weird....Who knows, she might be cool... Devon had a small smile on his face as he addressed the little girl.
"Hey, I didn't catch your name. You're the one that's hanging out the Dragonite right? He's pretty cool."
