Route 29
Isaac let out a sigh once more as the situation came to an end, attempting to regain his composure. The kid certainly looked pretty spooked, and continuing to drill into him would probably just make things worse at this point. He'd need to play nice for now to try and defuse any leftover tension. His main priority right now was getting the group back together. With Emma's recklessness and Leo seemingly having all the bravery of a Sunkern, they were bound to get into some sort of trouble alone.
"Look, I'm glad you're trying to help the poor thing, but next time you've gotta tell me when you're going off like this. An that goes for you too." Isaac poked a finger towards the blue Nidoran. He hoped it at least somewhat understood the message. It was smart enough to grab a ball off of Leo's belt to grab the Hoothoot. Either way, he'd probably need to keep a closer eye on those two than originally anticipated.
He jerked his thumb behind him.
"Let's head back for now. Kick is better at fighting than babysitting, and I get the feeling he's probably getting a little antsy. And if you're heading towards the Pokécenter, it shouldn't be too much farther. The trees are already starting to change color, so Cherrygrove is practically within spitting distance from the main path." Isaac turned towards the way he had came.
"Let's go." As he walked towards the main path of Route 29, his face slowly began to sag into it's usual scowl. Today was going to be longer than he though. At least they were almost to town. Hopefully they'd wear themselves out there, and he could have a moment to himself.
