Route 29

---

Isaac ignored most of the comments directed at him as they continued down route 29. The young boy seemed more interested in scanning things with his pokedex and taking notes rather than trying to actually do any battling to toughen his team up. But, that wasn't Isaac's problem. If he wanted to be unprepared for the road ahead, then so be it. The girl on the other hand was much like him when he first started, trying to see and experience everything around. Kick, while usually sticking close to Isaac, was more than happy to socialize with the two young trainers.

Their pace had begun to slow as they explored deeper into route 29, mostly due to the efforts of the young boy. Isaac rolled his eyes as the steps he took became shorter and shorter. Well, there was no time like the present to get some amount of training in. He grabbed the Pokéball from his belt and tossed out his Mudkip, Anchor. The little Mudkip beginning to run small circles around Isaac's legs in excitement. Eventually, Isaac scooped up the Mudkip, holding it out in front of him under its arms. "Alright, little man, your training begins now. We're starting you off on Hoppips. The ones around here dont fight back much, if at all." He crouched down next to Anchor, pointing to a nearby round and pink leafy Pokemon bumbling around. "Go use Tackle on it until gets knocked out." The Mudkip would let out a small "Mud!" before charging quite literally headfirst into the Hoppip.

Isaac turned towards the other two. "Come on you two, we're about halfway there, the south part of Route 46 is up ahead if you're really interested. We can't really go that way due to the ledges, but you might be able to find the stray Geodude or Spearow if you're into that. I'd personally like to make it to Cherrygrove before nightfall." He began to take a step towards the Mudkip running back towards him, when he turned back once more. "Oh, and by the way, rumor has it that Shinx have been seen around here recently. Don't get too close, they're pretty territorial, and will try and zap you for approaching. So either get ready for a fight or..." Isaac rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. He supposed it couldn't hurt to help these two out, if it made the trip faster.

"...You can use one of these." Isaac reached into his bag, pulling out two small blue Pokéballs with two yellow stripes in an "X" pattern. He pressed the buttons on them to bring them to normal size. He held them out towards the two "I'll be honest, I don't actually know how these work, but they have a pretty high catch rate when you initiate a battle." Isaac let out a sly grin. "Hey, the League said I couldn't bring any Pokémon with me, but they never said anything about items. I think I've earned that privilege at least."

The Sceptile's face lit up as the small Minun hoisted up his wooden badge. "So yer the little feller ol' Kick done sent over? Well, the name's Sage, and as ye mighta guessed, we been havin' ourselves a little thieverin' problem. Folks've been tellin' us 'bout gettin' incomplete orders. We've been tryin' ta keep an eye out fer any suspicious-like characters, but me and the boys ain't found much. I'll tell ye what I know, though."

The Sceptile would go on to explain the timeline of events, occasionally tipping his hat at passing farmers. "At first we just thought some might've fallen off the cart, but as it kept happenin', we thought something was up. It even got to the point where we noticed damade to our fencin' and our cart here got banged up as well durin' the night." Sage pointed to the brokem bit if fence, and the damaged wheel, respectively "I came up with a couple ideas m'self. The first is that they're comin' out under the cover of the dark t' take what they can. The second one is uh..." The sceptile got down onto one knee to get to Gale's level, before lowering his voice. "Well, truth be told, I think my son, Herb, might have something to do with it." Sage looked over to a lone Grovyle lazing about in the branches of an apple tree, eating one of the many dull red apples. He seemed to be eyeing some of the farmers. "He's at that age y'see. He cares more about chasing after girls than he does much else. I'm thinkin' he might be tryin' to impress someone, and usin' our stock to do so. It'd be much appreciated if ye can keep an eye on 'im. I don't want to believe it's him, but... well, what has to be done, has to be done. Fer now though, feel free to have a look around, and let me know if ye need anythin'."

Ting watched as Gale hopped on over to the Sceptile in the distance. Looks like it was just him and Fio now. He turned to Fio. "Well, uh..." His head turned as he scanned the surrounding area, looking for a place to start. "Say, Fio, why don't you check over by that bit of broken fence? Or at least around that area? Maybe you can find a clue there. I'll check out the storage sheds, and maybe talk to some of the farmers. Let's regroup here after a while and compare our findings. " He gave Fio a polite nod, and scurried off towards the nearby storage shed.

It was quite a big structure, or at least, it was to him. The doors were already open, so he headed into the building. It was much warmer in here than outside for some reason. Maybe all the boxes provided good insulation? Taking a look around, there wasn't much of interest. Empty boxes, spare tools, watering cans, things of that nature. This one was a bust. Time for the next one.

While the next shed was a small distance away, Ting's mind began to wander as he made his way towards the next shed. He was really doing this. He was really part of an adventurer's guild. He was making a difference, no matter how small. His heart began to race as the reality of the situation finally began to grasp him. He was finally doing something with his life. He wasn't running away anymore. He was in a place where people didn't hate him. He--

Ting's train of thought was violently disrupted as he walked headfirst into the next storage shed. He should probably start paying more attention to his surroundings. This shed was much like the first, nothing interesting, just more tools, and the occasional sack of topsoil or fertilizer. The third and final shed unfortunately has nothing of interest either. As he tried talking to the farmers, most seemed either confused about what was actually going on, or said they didn't know anything. Though as he was talking to a young Lilligant, he noticed a Grovyle sitting in a tree giving him an angry glare. What was that all about?

Isaac's face faded into somewhat of a scowl at the pair as they approached, his peace and quiet finally broken. One seemed somewhat... eccentric, while the other seemed much more polite and reserved. Was he just another kiss-ass? Or legitimately like that? The girl on the other hand, he immediately disliked. Too enthusiastic. She was going to be a handful, and that wasn't something he wanted to deal with. Maybe he could get Kick to deal with her?

He ignored the girl's comment as he looked them over closer. "Nidorans, huh? Not what I would have picked, but I suppose it's not the worst choice you could've made. Don't expect to get any Moon Stones outta me for them though." He stood up straighter to seem more orderly, mostly out of habit from innumerable interviews, speeches, and photos. He put his hand to his chin as he cracked his neck, a disappointed sigh escaping as no sound was made.

"I doubt the two of you have been living under a rock, but just in case you have, I'm Isaac, current reigon Champion, and I don't plan on giving that up anytime soon." He pointed a thumb over towards the Blaziken standing next to him, who was watching closely, trying to mirror Isaac's position. "This is Kick. He was my old starter. He isn't allowed to fight or anything like that, unless our lives are in danger. He's only here because he practically begged the Elite Four to go with and they agreed on that stipulation. You can talk to him if you want, I couldn't care less."

Isaac's posture slowly began to slouch as he gave up trying to keep standing up straight. There was so much talking, it was like giving interviews all over again. He let an exasperated sigh as he took a pause from his talking. This was going to be a long day. He'd better wrap this up quickly. "Given your ages I'm going to assume you know the basics like type matchups and status conditions. If not, well..." He gave a half-hearted shrug. "...You'll learn. I know the reigon pretty well, so we shouldn't get lost, even if we stray off the path. I wouldn't recommend doing that too often unless you're looking to hurt yourself or get stuck."

Isaac closed his eyes for a brief second to regain some amount of composure. It was almost over. Just a little more and they could hopefully get to Cherrygrove in relative silence. "I'm going to be doing the gym challenge along the way, you're free to join in, or just watch if you want, doesn't matter much to me." He looked over at the path leading out of town. "We'll be starting here at route 29. There's nothing worth catching or using, so don't waste your time. Just defeat what you can, and build up experience."

Isaac looked back at the pair, gesturing towards the exit to town, before beginning to walk that way, Kick following closely behind. "If you have any questions or concerns, we can walk and talk. Lets get moving."
