[attr="class","nv3"] Sylvester Blackburne you mentioned syndra now evan is like 8))))) "syndra??11??" whoops...
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]"that's one way to do it." evan laughed at the thought of seeing a pokemon leaping toward the camera before the video cuts off. it would certainly make a story and evan wouldn't be surprised if he saw sylvester on the front page of an article.
evan listened as sylvester explained why he couldn't be famous. it was a little funny thinking about how he would avoid the paparazzi and want nothing to do with the media. from what he gathered, the media won't give up so easily. they would all be fighting for a story about the mysterious trainer wandering the region. they would have a field day even if they managed to catch a glimpse of him. "don't you know that people love to go for the mysterious, silent types?" evan joked and leaned back further on the bench.
but it didn't last long when a familiar name was dropped from sylvester's mouth. "you know syndra?" he grinned and thought about the last time he had saw the female. they had not too long ago sat at a cafe and shared stories. it seemed like she was getting around and making a name for herself now. "she's a friend of mine i met not too long ago. she'll be happy to know that you think that way of her." she did mention how she was traveling and battling to keep up with the other trainers in the region. she should be happy to know that others thought she and her pokemon were strong. "she is pretty strong and i know she's constantly training as well. are you rivals?"

"No, not really." Sylvester did like to compare himself to her as a trainer, along with his pokemon to Syndra's own. But there was no fuel for that fire, not yet. He simply looked up to her in some ways, for being like-minded and so capable as a trainer. "I've battled too many trainers now to really determine which one of them is my actual rival." There was Darius Valentine, though from what he could surmise, Sylvester would not be seeing a lot of him for quite some time. Not that he really wanted to. "Though, Syndra would certainly be most worthy of being a true rival." That much Sylvester had to admit.How couldn't he?
"But to be honest? I don't really want a rival. Sure, I want to train with my pokemon to defeat most anyone that wishes to challenge me, but I don't have a strong sense of rivalry. It hasn't really fazed me much, except that I want to get stronger—not because I crave to defeat them, but that I can't afford to lose." It was something that may have been a little difficult for Evan to understand. Sylvester had much larger goals in mind for his future than the eight gym leaders. Terminating teams aqua and magma was his true underlying agenda, and that would take more than the devotion of one pokemon trainer. He would need to confide with others in order to equate to the manpower each of the eco-terrorist groups had to offer.
Realizing how much this conversation was reminding him of the work still ahead of him yet, Sylvester stood up and fastened the rucksack of his snug to this back. "Well, it was nice meeting you. I should get going, though. Me and my pokemon got a lot of training ahead of us." He waved his hand towards Evan as a gesture of farewell. "Hopefully we'll meet again someday. Until then, take care of yourself out there." Leaving it at that, Sylvester began to make his departure and walked towards the closest route.

[attr="class","nv3"] THREAD EXIT 8)

[attr="class","mv1"]evan knew a little bit about rivals. when he was younger, noah had been his. the two of them would compete all the time whether it was for racing to the classroom, pokemon battles, or something as simple as who could fall asleep first. the feelings of rivalry had slowly dissipated between them but evan remembers fondly those times where the competitive spirit would get the best of them and they would be trying to fight each other to see who is the best. but evan also understood where sylvester was coming from. there were a lot of strong trainers out there and maybe having a rival wasn't necessary; just getting stronger was enough. he also seemed to have bigger goals in mind which evan couldn't fault him for.
when sylvester stood, evan glanced down to look at his watch. they had been talking for awhile and he hadn't even finished exploring most of the city yet. "it was nice meeting you too. hope to see you again." he glanced down at the swablu who was still reluctant to wake up and placed her back inside her pokeball. now where to next?
