Harley had always liked Sylvester, usually in ways she couldn't describe. It was no secret to her parents, but other than that, she didn't think anyone knew. Keeping to herself most of the time, that wasn't too hard to believe. She was naive to many things with relationships and although the idea of one didn't scare her, it was completely new to her and that made her a little uncomfortable, but new things always did. She was glad that he seemed to latch on to her question and her thoughts were put on hold while he dug out his badge case and showed her the one badge he had acquired so far - the balance badge. She smiled down at it and then moved her gaze to him. "Congratulations!" She smiled, excited for him that he had won a badge, and even more so when he continued that he had done it with only one pokemon, his combusken. "Wow, that's amazing." She couldn't help but thinking about what it would be like to challenge the gyms when he asked. She had mostly just wanted to travel around and make friends, with pokemon and people alike. She'd never really given much thought to the pokemon league challenge, but the thought of battling gyms sounded pretty fun and actually the one thing her parents hadn't done.
"I left to just travel around and make friends, but I think I want to challenge the gyms. I never gave it much thought before, I just wanted my parents off my back... but thinking about it now, well, it sounds fun." She couldn't do it with just a ditto, though, so she knew she would need to go and find some more pokemon and train them. She didn't know much about the gyms and what types of pokemon the leaders had, but she had a little faith in herself, plus with any help she had from Sylvester. Certainly she would be able to beat the gyms eventually.

"Yeah, it is fun. Seemed a little easy, but I am sure the other gym leaders will provide me with a formidable challenge." Mostly because of the types of pokemon they would have, though Sylvester always knew to come prepared if at all possible. For the several pokemon league gyms dotting the region of Hoenn that weren't going anywhere, that would be pretty easy to achieve.
"I hope you can catch some pokemon you like to make it even more enjoyable of an experience. Giving it more thought, it will be a little difficult at first to battle with Copycat, your Ditto." Yet, the potential for her pokemon was there. Sylvester was certain it could get Harley far if she had the right aptitude for battling and working for pokemon. Only time could tell him anything about that. "I suppose next time we go out in the wild, we will teach your Ditto some more forms and moves?" Looking forward to it already, Sylvester smiled before going back to his breakfast, leaning against Harley's side whilst they were both seated on the couch.
"I bet you trained a lot for it, so just remember to train a lot for the next one!" If he already had a combusken, then it was strong and there was a lot of effort put in to it for it to evolve. She smiled at him, certain that he would be a tough trainer to beat in the future. She would need a diverse team to make up for her ditto's loss of a type until it transforms, but she didn't quite know what she wanted. Obviously, cute things appealed to her, but not all cute things are strong enough to take on some of the later gyms, or even the elite four if she made it that far. It all made her nervous, but she was excited nonetheless.
"I'm sure I'll find plenty that I like," She laughed, knowing already that she was a fan of all the pokemon she'd seen so far. Few things scared or disgusted her, so she was easy to please. Even the wretched bug pokemon. Dragon pokemon hardly scared her, if anything, she thinks they're just as cute as the baby pokemon. So honestly, Harley would be happy with whatever she had as long as they won and looked good doing it. "Copycat will be hard to work with, but I do think we need to work on it some more next time we get the chance. I'm going to go and try to catch some pokemon later, so maybe we'll learn a thing or two there, too." She smiled still, knowing that it would be good for her to go out on her own a little. Besides, she couldn't hold Sylvester hostage forever. She was sure he had some things to do, also. She too went back to eating her breakfast, happily allowing Sylvester to lean on her while she leaned a little back.

"Don't worry, I will." Sylvester would not let anyone get the best of him without earning it. Just as many before him, Sylvester was prepared to take the risks necessary for greatness. Nothing meaningful ever came about without great effort or sacrifice. He only hoped that didn't pertain to Harley, worrying inside as he leaned into her more, almost as if going to lay there with her for awhile. Eating quickly, he sat his plate down on the small table before them and rinsed it all down with some orange juice. That was when he began to play with Harley's hair, realizing now just how long it was as they sat close together.
"How on earth do you manage all of this hair?" Letting a portion of her locks reside in the grip of his one hand, it slowly slithered away as Sylvester realized she may not be very happy with him handling it as such. It was tantalizing, and he couldn't help but think about it. It seemed Sylvester liked long hair, or at least that was what he thought.
Harley smiled at him with his response and went back to finishing her breakfast as he did. She finished not too long after, cleaning her plate and emptying what was left of her orange juice before he leaned over on her more. She laughed a little, but relaxed and allowed him to pretty much lay on her. It was awkward and a bit uncomfortable now, but she was happy he was so close and wouldn't stop it for anything.
Laughing again when he asked, she allowed him to play with her hair. Usually she didn't like it unless she was comfortable with the person, but it still felt a little weird. "It's a pain," She laughed, looking over at him as he let it run through his hand. "I might cut some off soon, but it's been so long since its been cut... It'd be weird!" It was also hard to handle, especially traveling around. She didn't want it too much shorter anyway, but she's always had such long hair that it would be weird having it any shorter.

"It suits you..." He felt a bit awkward saying it, but didn't that that daunt over him as he contemplated the course for the rest of their day. "We should get going soon. I didn't rent the room for another night since I figured I would be out of here." It was a little embarrassing to have to admit this to her, but it wasn't like it could ruin their whole day.
"So did you want to go looking for new pokemon, or maybe go on further to the other cities? You'd probably find stronger pokemon there, at least." Giving Harley a few options, waiting for her response as he picked up his plates and moved to the sink and rinsed all of his tableware before stacking it neatly to the side."Which is it gonna be?" Sylvester wondered curiously if Harley would choose neither of them.

"Thanks." She smiled and kind of blushed, glad he at least liked it. She still considered cutting a few inches off, but it had been so long since she cut her hair, it almost felt wrong. Putting it in a braid or pony tail would probably solve a lot of her problems.
"I think I want to head back to route 102 since Copycat is still at its starter level." She looked to Sylvester, hoping he agreed. She'd gladly move on if he thought it was best, but she was worried that the pokemon on route 104 would be stronger and more difficult to beat. "What are your plans?" Unable to contain her curiosity, she watched as he took the dishes to the kitchen area and smiled as she waited for an answer. She hoped his plans were to join her, but she understood if he had other things to do while he was here. Besides, a little alone time on the trail to train wouldn't be too terrible either.

It wasn't very appealing to hear she wanted to stay back in this area, but Sylvester did his best not to impose upon her wishes. It would be a little rude, and one of the main reasons he wanted Harley with him was to make sure she was safe from pokemon, and those with them. It would be nice to evaluate her progress over time, though when it came down to it, Sylvester was very fixated on what kind of pokemon Harley would get. "If that's where you want to go, then by all means..." He paused.
"I should be there, and more than likely I will be. Though soon enough, I am going to be going on ahead. Not to mention..." He realized then one of the commercials he had seen last night on the TV. "There is going to be a pokemon contest in Slateport here soon. I don't think Magma would be bold enough to return to the scene of the crime, but I want to be there regardless." Maybe things would actually end up getting better... "Would you be interested in going along too?" It would be like their first date.
He didn't seem to like the idea of her going back to route 102, but it wouldn't be for very long. They could leave and hopefully make it to petalburg if she just spent an hour or two on the route. She was just worried about the pokemon being too strong for Copycat to handle. She stayed silent but stood, about to go get changed when he spoke again, mentioning a contest in slateport.
A smile flickered on her face before she looked at him. "Yeah... I'd really like to go." she blushed a little, thinking that after their short kiss, it was some kind of date. She stood for a moment longer, just looking at him, before she looked back at the room and started to walk towards it. "Im gonna go get dressed." she disappeared into the room only to return a few minutes later in shorts and a t-shirt with shoes in hand. "So you'll meet me on route 102 sometime, yeah?" she questioned as she sat and began to slip her shoes on.

Whilst Harley was in the room changing, Sylvester gathered his things and threw his trench coat over him, fastening his rucksack neatly to his back. When Harley came out, Sylvester was putting shoes on as well, smiling lightly at how synchronized they were already. "Yeah no doubt, though I am going to stop at the pokemon center first, maybe even the pokemart. I'll be quick about it, though. I'm only looking for a few things." Now that Sylvester was done, he stood up and made his way towards the door.
"I won't leave you alone for too long, don't worry. I'll probably just skip one of them so I can get back to you sooner, rather than later." Sylvester opened the door of their room and gestured for Harley to come along. They would finally be able to start their journey, with a minor delay in Sylvester's plan. Which was fine. If Harley grew stronger, than as a team they were that much better. He began to realize he should start thinking about her more than himself, even though for some reason Sylvester felt obligated to protect her.
