Miu groaned at the mention of 'Santalune Forest'. Not again! Ok, this time, she'd have a pokemon of her own to chase off the feral ones. And a Poliwag could beat a Pansear any day of the week. Still, no less annoying. She had no desire to get lost there again. As if reading her mind, B tugged the map away from Professor Apple and began trying to fold it back up. For a world-famous professor, she had some lousy assistants, Miu noted. Hopefully, this was the last they'd see of B - well, after he held the map out.
"Professor Apple will probably keep in touch with more errands. I think you'll need this more than me." He tried a smile. Miu didn't return it. Someone else could grab the map.
"Yeah, sure. Hitting up the healer, catch ya at the bridge." They better not abandon her in this two-bit town. Poliwag made a confused sound, and Miu called it back to the pokeball. Without acknowledging anyone's replies, she left, following Apple's directions earlier to the pokemon healer. What a sad little town, that even a pokemon center wasn't possible. Her mind wandered to Apple's suggestion about the Pokemon gyms. She could probably do it, but why bother? She had nothing to prove. If the rest of the group did, well, why would they all have to slow down over that?
B blinked at Miu's departure. "Well, someone won't need a parka." He almost sounded miffed, though it was nothing next to the way the Unown glared from his shoulder.
