[hr]Holding Pixie for a long time as he waited patiently in line was starting to wear Ryan's arms out, to which he set her down so that he could get some rest. [color=#8470FF]"Sorry girl, I just need a couple minutes to give my arms rest. After awhile, you start to get heavy."[/color] He told her, to which she gave a soft whimper of disapproval, reluctantly leaning against his legs instead. [color=#8470FF]"Aw come on Pixie, I'm sorry. I'll pick you up once again after I'm done registering, alright?"[/color] He asked his partner, looking down to see her smile up at him and give a soft, happy cry now. Leaning down, he petted her softly for a bit before standing back up, placing both hands in his pockets as he looked around a tad before it was his turn.

As he finished and started to leave the line, a sense of wonder and joy hit him in the heart, causing him to internally jump for joy, while externally he picked up Pixie and placed her on his shoulder. While it wasn't exactly what she wanted, she went with it, allowing Ryan to continue on his rather slow pace as he began to think to himself. He had registered for both Contests and the League, he had his own pokemon, and he believed he had all the necessary supplies for the journey ahead. Sliding his backpack off his free shoulder, he found a spot away from the others to shift around in it, eventually finding the small pocket notebook Ryan was looking for. 

He flipped it to the first page, grabbing a pencil from inside his bag so that he could check off his supplies one last time.
[color=#8470FF]"Sleeping bag, check. Rations, check. Poke-food, check. Pokedex... Ah crap..."[/color] He facepalmed to himself, sighing slightly before he put a big x next to that line. [color=#8470FF]"Oh well... I don't want to bother the Professor right now, so I guess I'll just come back later after I've explored Chromis for awhile."[/color] He told Pixie, who now jumped off his right shoulder and landed in front of him, nodding. 

[color=#8470FF]"Yeah, maybe it'll be better this way. With how much I had to study in school, along with endless hours of TV and internet watching pokemon battles or contests, or even performances, I'm sure I can do this without a pokedex. It'll let me get to know you guys better too! Or maybe it won't..."[/color] He told her, to which she gave him a puzzled look. [color=#8470FF]"I'm sorry I'm going back and forth with myself... But maybe a crutch wouldn't hurt, especially because I don't think I know every pokemon..."[/color]

Though slightly annoyed with her partner, Pixie eventually shrugged it off, instead prodding and nudging him every couple seconds as he put his notebook away. She was poking the pokeball that was in his pocket that was hers, probably just wanting some rest herself. He nodded, understanding what she wanted, and soon she was inside her pokeball, allowing Ryan to focus on the task at hand.

Picking himself up, he made his way to the professor's line for pokedex's, his confidence that he had when he was alone with Pixie shattering into silent nervousness. This was someone really important, he thought, and he didn't want to mess up with something as simple as a question for a pokedex, but at the same time he wanted to make a good impression. Not like she'd remember him after this, but still, it was the thought that counts. So as he waited patiently, soon getting towards the front, he approached her as he took a deep breath.

[color=#8470FF]"Sorry to intrude Professor, but I, er, was wondering if I could also get a Pokedex, maybe? Unless you don't have anymore, of course, then I'll leave if that's the case..."[/color] He said, progressively getting faster and quieter as time went on. Man, if he felt like he hadn't blown it yet, he was definitely feeling that now.
