-Yuu Nozomu : Route 29-
As the boy questioned the others perspective, the boy in black made an immediate response to Yuu. It was a rather crude and selfish answer from Yuus perspective as he eyed Sylvie trotting along, chirping happily as she responded to the environment. Displeased with the boy response, Yuu hid it as he watched Sylvie run ahead and play with the environment encompassing them, frowning slightly as the boy went on to introduce himself.
...
Procuring the boys name, Yuu committed his name to memory. Lifting his head up and plastering a fake smile on an indiscriminate bravado. Lifting his hand to his head, stopping momentarily before returning his hand to his former position. Instead, he jerked his head to the side, causing the hair obscuring his eye move to the side. "... I need to get a clip for my hair some time," Yuu thought as he began to utter his standpoint against Nate's, which was to arguably keep his pokemon from having a choice in the matter.
"Yup, that is true... always for us to decide and never them," Yuu said in a morose tone while chuckling a bit. Yuu figured that there was some sort of disillusion here between the two types of partners - pokemon and human. Yuu took his gaze off the boy for a few seconds as he looked at Sylvie playing with a flower before chomping on it gleefully. As he watched, he continued to speak, stating his view as he returned his focus on the older, albeit shorter guy.
"Pokemon do have their own needs too... but, I guess that's honestly up to you what you wanna do with the little guy." Yuu rubbed the back of his neck as he kept a close eye on Sylvie, who was chirping with joy as she sped up the pace to meet with Cerise and the cute green ball on her shoulder. As she tried to get its attention, Yuu warranted a smile to the impending situation of introducing himself to the other boy.
"Anyways, my name is Yuu Nozomu, it's a pleasure to meet you Nate!" Yuu exclaimed to the boy as he kept moving forward to keep up with the pace the group was going at. As the small Eevee moved about, it observed just as her partner did with the environment encompassing them. Yuu found it to be a beautiful day outside, even with the... eerie silence, aside from the occasional pokemon in their group growling with delight. While taking in the sights, Yuus gaze lingered on a few suspicious items. He understood that they wern't susceptible to the elements and the dangers around. This was an arduous task they were undertaking and he had to make sure there was no screwing around. One small slip could ensure a calamity.
Even with the pressure as he slowly trudged along the boy, he sighed with relief. "It's a beautiful day outside... the birds would be chirping, the bugs would be singing. On days like this, kids could really enjoy playing a game of catch with a friend or pokemon." Yuus smile was wrought with displeased sorrow as he reminisced on the past. In times like this, he recalled seeing himself play with other children, with his moms Gardevoir joining in the fun, along with an occasional wild pokemon.
...
Those days were dead.
Despite it all, Yuu immediately pulled himself out of the drag, before eyeing the members of the group and with each person observing the environment... except for one little red-headed chick. He found himself bemused that she was glaring at him in a benign way. Yuu found no maliciousness within her mischievous eyes, but he was still skeptical about her, especially after that little... incident. After all, she had the privileged princess air about her after she argued with the little bird pokemon within the lab... before trying to mask her true self.
Yuu saw through it fairly easily as at this point due to the inconsistencies in her actions. Either way, he felt that Abigail and her were two peas in a frozen pod with the way they corresponded to each other. Yuu smiled brightly at the girl before narrowing his eyes down to a squint as he made eye contact with her. In the moment he did a quick wink to the girl as his smile faltered before returning his gaze forward.
She really needed to get the message.
Despite all this, maybe there was more to them than Yuu thought? He did ponder on it, and found that they were actually on good terms with each other just from the way they spoke to each other, how they moved their body when addressing each other, etc. "You two seem to have sort of an attitude problem... maybe you two aren't as bad as I perceive it since you two are friends with each other and treat each other as humans... Maybe I could try to talk with them later on?"
Yuu shrugged as he let the ideas rest on his shoulders. As he continued to walk, he eyed one of the... lonelier ladies of the group. Yuu came to the conclusion of never interacting with the chick before, well, other than a simple, well adorned smile. While Yuu figured the gesture was welcoming, it did not warrant much speaking from his perspective. "Well, it was nice talking with ya Nate, but I'm going to interact with a few others, so talk to you later," Yuu said as he slowed down his pace, smiling to the boy as he fell back. Sylvie took note of this distinct change and dashed passed the boy, giving him a hearty "Vee!" as she dashed to her trainers side. As she did so, she pounced onto her trainers face, which put him a few feet behind the blonde girl and her Cyndaquil.
Yuu reacted to this in a surprised manner, but grasped the Eevee and held her for a bit as she giggled mischievously. She did find his arms comfy and scrambled to rest within the two hammocks in a position she would enjoy. As Sylvie squirmed around, Yuu picked up his pace to meet up with the girl, the ground thumping as he swiftly walked forward, eventually matching her pace. The boy shot the girl a charming smile before speaking to her.
"I don't think we ever got around to properly introducing ourselves cutie... I need to work on forming better complements..." Yuu rubbed the back of his neck, feel the whole predicament had a new format which weighed him down. This chick was cute, and so were the others, but that did not mean he liked them in that sort of manner as they just recently met. Just as he returned his arm to his side, Yuu returned to addressing the blonde beauty and finishing up what he wished to say earlier.
"Aside from my less than desirable attempts at being nice, my n-" Yuu failed in completing his talk, before Abigail gave an announcement to everyone that this appeared to be a good place to stop. The group could do better, however, everyone was speaking with their stomachs and even Cerise piped in to tell her she was thinking on the basis of hunger rather than logic.
Regardless, it was getting late and they had to consider their options at this point. Yuu tapped his chin for a few seconds in a familiar, rhythmic pattern before coming to a conclusion that it was safer just to set-up camp in the vicinity. "Even though she is thinking more or less with her stomach, she does raise valid points with dusk being upon us. I prefer for us not having to deal with an incessant group of pokemon."
Yuu placed his Eevee down on the ground for romped for a bit before crying out to be let back into Yuus arms. The boy lip synced a sorry to the small creature as she pouted be for kneeling down and whispering something to her. The Eevee was rather sad, but smiled with a weakly spoken "Vee...~" Continuing on with his contribution to the group, Yuu deposited his backpack onto the ground, and began procuring things from his bag to show support.
"I can easily feed our pokemon as I brought food our pokemon can eat," Yuu spoke as he removed the packaged food which looked organized by hand rather than store bought. "I do have a couple of sandwiches which we can share, but I don't think four sets will sustain us for the night..." The boy also removed the parts to a tent which he some how manged to fit in his bag with the rest of his stuff. The Eevee appeared rather surprised at this feat, and pawed at his bag as if it was some magical entirety.
"I wouldn't mind lending you guys a tent for now if some of you did not bring one, but be forewarned as it can only fit three people..." Yuu honestly decided that it was a bad idea to lay out his items and dusted the materials off, making them almost devoid of dirt. "Regardless, I recommend splitting up into a few groups to complete a few tasks, like collecting sticks to start a fire so we have grilled food or having someone pitch the tents... I don't know what you guys will do, but I'll opt for patrolling the area so we aren't interrupted by a pokemon, and procure fire wood. If anyone wants to help, that's fair game for me as an extra set of hands won't hurt. Come on Sylvie, we have work to do."
The Eevee chirped gleefully as it slowly walked forward with a bounce in her step. The trainer followed after the small pokemon, but not before requesting something from Sophie as he stopped in his tracks to chat with her before perform in his assigned job. "Er, sorry that I have to ask this of your Cyndaquil as he looks to be enjoying his sleep... could you wake him or her up to help start a fire once we have enough things to burn for the night? You don't need to answer now, besides... I need to keep track of Sylvie."
As Yuu finished his little speech, he dashed after his Eevee who wandered far from him, and into the wilderness about the dynamic duo went, but not before Yuu shouted one last thing to the group.
"We'll all introduce ourselves to each other once we are set up, ok?!"
...
It may have been suicidal, but damn him if he did not have the guts to keep the people he was traversing with safe. As the boy walked alongside his pokemon with his backpack on him, the duo retrieved any stick that had the possibility of being used in a fire, especially the drier looking ones. Yuu whistled a tune as the duo continued on with their task, the Eevee pouncing on tufts of grass and munching on the occasional half-eaten berry. Yuu wished to quench his hunger too, and made sure not to stray too far from the camp.
As Sylvie continued to help her friend gathered sticks, she stumbled across a rather large rock. Just the way it felt, there was something different about this one than the one she stood on when walking on the path to that place the eccentric man in white said. Glaring at it, it began responding to it in a more nervous, confident matter. "Vee, eee, eevee! Vee, vee, eee, vee eee!"
As the man continued to gather sticks, he heard the ongoing cries of his friend. As strange as it was, she stopped completely to cry at a rock. Trudging over, Yuu eyed the small, craggy rock with utmost suspicion before responding to the Eevee. "Er, are you ok Sylvie," Yuu quizzed, worried about her frantic condition. "This just looks like a-"
"Dude!"
Yup, definitely not a rock, but a "Geodude!" The rock lunged forward at Yuu, who managed to almost evade it's tackle with a pivot, the latter scrapping a bit by his arm. The Geodude toppled onto the ground before rolling, staring furiously at the duo. The Eevee rushed forward and took a defensive stance in front of her friend, furrowing her eyebrows as she frowned. Feeling partially backed into a corner, Yuu had no choice but to fight the Geodude who had a rocky exterior but a fiery heart.
"We are getting a bit side tracked, but we can use this time to prepare for the bigger mission! Sylvie, lets start this whole spar off with a sand attack!" Sylvie obeyed, running forward, be for pivoting and kicking dynamically small objects into the Geodude eyes, blinding them. As their opponent ran into the cloud of dirt, she retaliated with a tackle which resulted from a harmed cry emanating from the Eevee. Yuu cringed before requesting for the same thing, except that she was to dash around and keep moving while blind in him. Though unfamiliar, she gladly obliged as she could use this time to learn how to battle.
The Eevee, not knowing what to do, performed a basic sand attack in the way of the Geodude. However, unlike the last, she managed to escape unscathed due to the attempted tackled. Yuu knew this was going to take some time to keep this up, but with a stretch of his imagination, he gained a new idea to tip the scales. "Sylvie, watch this!" The small pokemon became distracted by her partner who demonstrated what he wanted her to do while running around in a miniature circle whilst kicking up a dust storm. Taking this time to made sure her hit landed, the wild Geodude crashed into the Eevee, harming her yet again.
As she was launched forward a few inches, rolling on the ground, Sylvie dusted herself off, the trainer and pokemon looking piqued from that surprise attack. Taking into account what she saw, Yuu gave her the same command in an attempt to assist her in learning. "Alright, you got the memo on what I did! Do a sand attack the way I was doing it!" Sylvie, gave a confident cry before dashing into the fray and performing a sand attack while running around the enemy. This disoriented the Geodude who gave a frustrated cry before randomly tackling into the storm of dirt... and completely missing the Eevee who was adjacent to her.
"Awesome job out there Sylvie! That Geodude won't see anything coming next!" The Eevee, despite being a bit beaten, turned her head and expressed her joy while smiling, "Vee, veee!~" Sure, they were fighting for their lives to an extent, but this was also bonding between two friends. However, one friend got a face full of rocks as the Geodude launched themselves into the Eevee, completely relying on sound to guide her. Their trance broken yet again, Yuu commanded the Eevee to retaliate against their impudence through a tackle, despite knowing it wouldn't do much other than further confuse the Geodude. Sylvie obeyed, slamming into the rock before landing on the side a few feet away from her.
Preparing a new stratagem, Yuu began pondering on the attacks she could know currently before recalling that the fox-like pokemon knew growl and tail whip. It wasn't difficult to perform it, however this pokemon was desperately relying on sound, so not only Sylvie would need to be careful, but himself too. "Alright Sylvie, I have a new plan for you," Yuu shouted as he kept his pace up as the Geodude launched herself at his former position. "Try getting it's attention by using tail whip and growl as it should decrease the chance they want to fight. Also, if they're coming your way, I'll try to notify you so you can avert any harm, ok?"
"Vee," she responded, determined to live up to what Yuu asked of her. Making the most adorable sounds ever, the Eevee growled at the Geodude to not only frighten it, but decrease its fighting spirit. The rock turned before moving towards the sound before noticing there was something moving behind the thing. Regardless of what happened, she continued going at it until the Geodude launched herself. Yuu gave the warning and neither of them made contact with each other.
""Alright, tackle the Geodude, then rinse and repeat!" The strategy was going well with a hit and run tactic by Yuu which was crudely (but successfully) performed by Eevee who kept her length away from the pokemon while chipping away at its liveliness. Things were going well for the duo, and they had a shot of either falling or catching the Geodude at this rate!...
... until the Geodude got a well placed shot at Sylvie.
Yuus partner had a difficult time keeping up after that blow and looked rather winded despite the fact that the Geodude was sufficiently hurt, but not to the point of defeat. Before continuing on with the strategy, Yuu requested her to pull off another growl and tail whip combo to weaken her opponent. Sylvie found it to feel weird for her, but at this point she needed to recover. She disobeyed Yuu much to his surprise to stand and... meditate for a bit? In a few seconds, Yuu swore he saw a spark come out from her before watching the Geodude hit the Eevee again, with another weakened "Veeee..."
As Yuu pushed his partner to the edge, he felt bad inside for going a bit far with her. The boy decided to pay homage to her by taking on the Geodude himself while she rested and recuperated from her wounds with a little manufactured store bought medicine. "You did pretty well Sylvie; sorry for pushing you to your limits, but now it's time for me to help you," Yuu exclaimed as he held firmly onto a pokeball he intended to use in slowing down the Geodude. Knowing the aggressive nature of pokemon, and the fact that their opponent was not weak enough to be caught or defeated, he opted for sacrificing one singular pokeball so that Sylvia might make it out from the fight.
With all his might, Yuu launched the ball directly at the rock as it began turning around to respond to the voice... before a bright red light encompassed the Geodude, temporarily ensnaring her. Using this time to his advantage, Yuu swiftly moved to his injured pokemon, his backpack in tow.
This was serious business, and he did not want to see her pained more than she already was...
As the boy questioned the others perspective, the boy in black made an immediate response to Yuu. It was a rather crude and selfish answer from Yuus perspective as he eyed Sylvie trotting along, chirping happily as she responded to the environment. Displeased with the boy response, Yuu hid it as he watched Sylvie run ahead and play with the environment encompassing them, frowning slightly as the boy went on to introduce himself.

★Ciel Duperie : Cherrygrove City☆
The Kalosian boy had recently traversed to such a forlorn and underdeveloped region, finding it's residents... nice. There was the interest of their quaint little huts which served the mongrels with some aesthetic due to its rustic charm, if it could be called that. Adjusting his gloves as his Zorua proudly puffed its chest out, pridefully strutting around as if it owned the place. His Rose was more prone to taking in whatever sights these meager people could create.
Ciel pitied these unlucky fools for having inferior technology as well as inferior minds which were most likely susceptible to superior tricks of the mind... but he would not need any of that, no? Ciel chuckled as he brushed his hair devilishly away from his face. It was far to rare to spy an actual human around here as he saw some people that looks like humans lumbering about, but was sure they were stupider, subhumans he spotted. "I guess these towns have been overrun by unsophisticated creatures of a lower standing... figures with the design of this place which heralds no pleasing aesthetics, period."
Ciel muttered to himself as he spied a few girls out and about at this time of night. Acting like a heroic bastard, Ciel put a smug act up and started speaking with the girls, garnering their attention. The momentum continued on as they ooo'd and aaah'd at such frivolous achievements only a perfectly bred stallion as he could achieve. As he continued to play these Mankeys, Ciel gave them the option of escorting them home as they would not want to run into anyone willing to take advantage of such pure souls.
With his honeyed words, he found his way into not only their hearts with his wits as they remained close to the boy, careful not to breathe on him as if he was a delicate ornament which could break any second. As he played each girl for fun and a fool, Ciel returned these things to their place of dwelling. The last one offered him a stay at her place as her parents were not home. Ciel politely declined as he said his condolences and good byes, but not before walking up to the girl and whispering something into her ears.
Whatever he said, she almost swooned at the notion as she waved good bye to not only Ciel, but his pokemon all while sporting exasperated and embarrassed smile. As the boy began leaving the area with his award winning smile, he giggled to himself. The giggling began escalating until it was full blown laughter howling out. Whay chance did that plebian really think she had a shot with him? Such a foul and unsanitary thing could be performed with an ill-suited slut who was all too easy.
Besides, he had his eyes on someone else. A beautiful, luscious lady who was infallible in what she did. Her soft, sweet smelling red hair, her soft, delicate hands. Her piercing beautiful eyes and smile. Only one had his heart... the one he wanted saving himself for.
"Ah, Mademoiselle Cerise, how I long to be with you and stroke your soft, silky hair..."
The boy uttered to himself, his undying obsession that he had with Kalos' biggest hit in the fashion industry. Never before was he enamoured by such a stunning beauty that he would depart from home and chase his loved one to a region filled to the brim with barbarians who were just desperate for a man like him... too bad that man was reserved for one lucky soul...
That poor, poor, lucky soul...
The boys iris shrunk as he spoke, revealing hidden depths to the boys madness as he spoke his mantra - "No one will take her from me... she is mine and always will be mine... mine, mine, mine... that purple haired whore can live for now, but soon I'll dye her hair a nice shade of crimson, oh it will look so pretty..."
His insanity was ignored by his two pokemon as they were living a luxurious life. Why would they need to be so worried about having a borderline psychopath as their master? The two proudly kept walking as their masters arms began shaking a bit. It was barely noticeable to a close passerby, but considering no one else was around... he would be fine in letting a bit of madness escape his grasp. No one would know his true devotion to the wonderful Cerise.
" N o t h i n g w i l l g e t b e t w e e n u s a g a i n . I ' l l d r i v e a w e d g e b e t w e e n A b i a n d C e r i s e . . . a n d t h e n I ' l l d r i v e o n e i n t o h e r s k u l l . ~ "
... and by devotion, I meant an unhealthy interest which bordered on murdering any on who dared mention loving her, who dared breathing on her. Ciel would tear the whole world asunder if it meant getting to his love and would go as far as to kill his parents in cold blood, despite them having a second child now. "Pity that they could not bask in the glory of moi...~"
Even with the impending twilight on the horizon, Ciel kept his wits about him as he surveyed the area for any signs of his love or hearts he could smash into a bloody, squishy mess around the area. Eventually, after wandering around the town, Ciel yawned, his pokemon also yawning beside him. They knew it was time to turn in as they needed their beauty sleep to look this good.
"Ah, my friends! It seems it is time for us to depart for the land of sleep, no? Come, come we have done enough for the day, and deserve our earned rest." As the boy in a haughty voice spoke, the duo voiced their opinions cleanly in agreement with their master. Ciel smiled slightly before beckoning them to come along.
After a couple of minutes of searching they found this towns version of a pokemon center. The boy had duly noted that the compartments they rested in could barely make a one star and struggled to get anything above .5 in comfort rating for him. Sighing sadly at these facts, his pokemon trudged into the pokemon center, each of them dreaming of something sweet.
Especially Ciel and his beloved soon to be betrothed -
"C e r i s e . . . ~ "
The Kalosian boy had recently traversed to such a forlorn and underdeveloped region, finding it's residents... nice. There was the interest of their quaint little huts which served the mongrels with some aesthetic due to its rustic charm, if it could be called that. Adjusting his gloves as his Zorua proudly puffed its chest out, pridefully strutting around as if it owned the place. His Rose was more prone to taking in whatever sights these meager people could create.
