Ryan Frost - In the Pokemon Contest Line

As Ryan stepped into line, he placed Pixie down beside him, who leaned against the side of his leg gently with patience. He was glad that she was a relatively modest pokemon, not really very energetic or showy, but also not very timid or sassy. She was humbled to be his partner, and he was happy that she seemed to accept him, even if it was his brother that originally caught her. In fact, when he first saw that it was a variation of vulpix usually only found in Alola, he was astonished. Not only because there was an adaptation of sorts for a vulpix, but that there were several pokemon who adapted to their environments. Actually, as a second thought, he wondered if there was a regular vulpix in Chromis, and if so, he wondered how they would interact in a pokemon contest. Fire and Ice, similar yet so different...

And then he realized he was staring at a Skitty, who then meowed at him. He returned the meow with a warm smile, closing his eyes as he did so before turning to face the others who were talking. Or rather, the one who was making a show out of it. She was decent looking, he supposed, though a bit too flashy for his tastes. And Speaking of flashy... She didn't waste any time declaring herself to be the next top coordinator and that everyone in the line was now her rivals. As for Ryan, he simply shrugged, not really sure if he was interested in such a thing. Really, he wasn't doing this to win or become top coordinator, but because it would increase his bond and understand of his pokemon.

And speaking of his own pokemon, a fletchling had found it's way to Pixie, causing her to turn her head back to see what was going on. She didn't particularly know what was happening, but she simply stared at him curiously while Ryan looked ahead of them, noticing a rather annoyed riolu and two trainers. The first was someone who seemed just a fancy as the girl who declared them all rivals, with an interesting outfit to say the least. The other seemed to be the Riolu's trainer, as they seemed to have spoken down to the fighter type...
Though, seeing as he and Pixie weren't really affected, he did his best to act natural and occasionally glance down to see how the alolan vulpix was doing.

Alrighty then!

Ahaha! I can make a bunch of NPCs to make it harder for you to win. And by extension probably make myself lose.

I mean we could take first, second and third, but someone is getting left in the dust.

We'll have to battle at a contest later on to settle this xD

@Shadeflare123
Oh. Guess you'll be disappointed when Ryan casually wins then.

Ya'll are so competitive xD

Are you by the professor or in the contest line, because I had Ryan leave the professor when he realized they were actually talking and about to have a conversation, and is now in the contest line.

Ryan smiled as he listened intently to the professor's speech, his partner vulpix resting calmly in his arms, along with being petted. To him, it was like a miracle that he was actually here, about to start his adventure, and while he seemed fairly relaxed right now, inside he was bursting with anticipation. It had been a long boat ride to get to Chromis, one that would have felt forever had it not been for Pixie at his side. He played with her for hours on that ship, getting to know her and her variation from the norm. She was a version of vulpix's that existed in the Alola region, a specific pokemon that his brother Kestin felt suited his younger brother despite not knowing him. Ryan thought he had made the right choice, and as he petting Pixie now in his arms among the crowd, he couldn't feel more happy.

And yet, there was something inside him that was eating at his conscious. I feeling that knew came from his sudden departure from home, not to mention away from his mother without her knowing. Well, she probably knew now as it's been several days away, and he could picture her panicking with his absence. She was always overprotective of him... And while he wanted this to be a totally happy moment, he felt a sting of pain with how his mother would worry about where he was, and how she definitely wouldn't be able to find him for awhile. That's why he'd be sure to make the most of this journey, and he had to do it with just him and his pokemon. After all, he wasn't sure what would happen if he ever went back to Sinnoh...

Shaking those thoughts aside, it seemed the professor had finally finished her speech, indicating that the children gathered could now register for the league, contests, and get a pokedex if they so wished. While he had never personally had a pokedex, he knew that they were a valuable tool for a pokemon trainer, being able to record and identify a pokemon just by seeing it. Petting the top of Pixie's head one last time, he started to move towards the small group of trainers by the professor.

"You ready, Pixie?" He asked her, to which she looked up at him and gave a soft, happy cry. He nodded, and as he got closer to the conversation, he stopped when the one asked two other trainers if they were going to get a pokedex too. While he wasn't directly in the conversation yet, it made him second guess for now in grabbing a pokedex. Maybe when the professor is alone, or at least just giving them out by herself... He thought, instead following those whom he had heard were signing up for pokemon contests. He knew so, as someone in front of him asked another if they were signing up for pokemon contests as well. To him, it was an obvious answer, though he had to mentally prepare himself with talking to someone, especially the person whom he'd have to talk to to register. He kinda wished they would be a pokemon, but he knew that was highly unlikely...

I'll probably have a post up either late tonight or tomorrow ^_^
