If there is one thing to know about Basil it's that he has an appetite that rivals a Munchlax, something one would not expect considering how scrawny the boy was. The boy won the genetic lottery in that whatever he ate did not show up as much of a pound for him. So when he was at a local cafe to get food for a nice picnic, well, he certainly ordered enough sandwiches that he was given an odd look by the cashier because really, no one needs that much to eat and asked if he was ordering for more people. 

Basil stiffened and with a nervous smile he said,[color=8882be]"Oh, uh, I'm sharing with my pokemon."[/color] Not entirely a lie, but not entirely the truth either. 

The cashier squinted at him doubtfully. "Right..." 

Well after that awkward encounter, Basil walked through the city and had at some point let Cecil from her pokeball so she could walk along side him. They both observed their surroundings, which were mainly trainers and a variety of wild normal types. While the idea of catching some was tempting, it was something that he could do later though those Lillipups were certainly adorable. 

And that aside, the duo arrived at the trainer school. It certainly was a school alright; it was filled with those eager to learn before they head off into the world, but Basil was more interested in having a hands on experience than cracking open books though that the fact that there seemed to be there own challenge here made it far more interesting. However, it was still a bit to early for him to try so he was more than happy to just go to the park and see what's there. 

Kids were strewn about hunting for Pokemon and from what he could tell from his observation there was a great diversity with what could be caught. There was the water type, Finneon. Catching a Finneon to cover his rock and ground type weaknesses certainly would be beneficial to his team, but as his team was right now, Cecil would be at a complete disadvantage if they even attempt to catch one. It would have been unfair for him to force her to do that so he decided against it, after all, they were to eat.

Basil had just placed his backpack and the bag of lunch down on a cozy patch of grass and Cecil sat down, eagerly looking at the bag of sandwiches. One of them being a marmalade sandwich that caught her eye and was all too excited to eat it. They were just about to set up for their picnic, but Basil and Cecil's ears(?) perked at some very interesting news; are rare Pokemon was somewhere around the park. Kids were all over the place searching for it to no avail with the supervision of a lady who he assumed was their teacher. 

[color=8882be]"What do you think Cecil?"[/color] 

[color=ed1c24]""Dar![/color] She said with a firm nod. Apparently they were on the same wavelength.  

Figuring that it was safe to leave their stuff alone for a few moments, the two of them walked towards the teacher. [color=8882be]"Um, excuse me, miss."[/color] He said to get her attention if she did not notice them approaching her. [color=8882be]"We could not help, but overhear something about a rare Pokemon. What exactly is it?"[/color]
