[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey I NEED TO HATCH MY PINSIR SO EVAN CAN BE LIKE YOOO HOW WERE YOU EVEN IN AN EGG??? ALSO VULPIX LET ME GET THAT THO....
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]seeing syndra's egg hatch did make evan excited to see what pokemon he recieved. while it was nice to be able to make a pokemon hatch, it was rather annoying to carry around the egg. he mostly kept the egg safe in his bag but it was getting rather heavy. he wasn't sure if eggs were supposed to be heavy at all. but whatever was inside of it he would take care of it and raise it like any other pokemon he owned. he was glad to see that syndra was happy with what she got and laughed when the vulpix hesitantly sniffed her scent before licking the girl's face. "it looks like she likes you."
evan watched as the vulpix hopped on the table and started to sniff around. he had already finished most of his food and he was willing to share with the newly born fire type if she was hungry. the vulpix soon made its way over to him and began to lick his face. with a laugh, he petted the pokemon on its body and admired how soft the fur was. "nice to meet you too." he reached over and pulled up the rest of his sandwich and moved it towards the baby pokemon. he didn't know if the pokemon would like it or not but it didn't hurt to try. he then turned his attention back to syndra and shook his head. "i wouldn't know the first thing about taking care of a manaphy." weren't they supposed to be some sort of legendary pokemon? "plus after what happened today, i'm sure arceus will bypass me right away."
The fire type jumped back at the movements of the male as he reached of his sandwich. It didn't take her long to get adjusted however as the fox slowly inched back to sniff at what he held. Was he giving it to her? With some hesitance the Vulpix took a small bite and acknowledging the delicious taste ate the rest of it with incredible speed. The sight had Syndra giggling at the antics. Baby pokemon were cute, especially this fox. "Looks like she likes you too. You're going to end up spoiling her if you keep that up," she teased jokingly as she took another few bites from her parfait.
As Evan replied to her sarcasm she shook her head. He was still traumatized by the event at the beach she guessed but it wasn't anything to be too embarrassed about. Certainly not anything that Arceus would judge him for either. "You never know. Maybe Arceus will fall out of the sky in a second right into your lap." The image of that followed in her mind. It actually wasn't a nice thought for the size of Arceus would likely crush Evan even though it would take a miracle for that to even happen. So she shook her head. "Though if that happened you might not be lucky."

[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey NO YOUR POST ISN'T SHIT MINE IS
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]evan wasn't sure whether or not baby pokemon could eat sandwiches. usually pokemon could eat just about anything humans could and more so he figured it would be the same with ones that recently hatched. at least the vulpix had gobbled it up and looked to like it. he laughed at the way vulpix had devoured the sandwich and was sad he couldn't give her more. "spoiled or not, she is cute." he raised a hesitant hand to pat the fire type on her head and hopefully not scare her. "at least i didn't give her my sundae."
at the comment about arceus, evan winced at the thought of the pokemon god falling out of the sky and onto him. he would definitely be crushed under all that weight. "well there are worst ways to go i guess." he chuckled and reached to start eating his sundae. "you think arceus would join your party if i do end up dying? i can be an offering for you and he'll join you for a battle or two. and as a bonus, i wouldn't even have to kill myself with that fork you took away from me." he joked and eyed the utensil that was still resting closely to syndra. having a legendary wouldn't be such a bad thing though he was opposed to getting one. the idea of meeting someone equivalent to a god kind of unnerved him. "it can help you achieve a goal or two if you plan to take on the pokemon league here."
"Hmmm," the humming sound filled with thought echoed. "I think if Arceus did land on you and crushed you, he'd more likely bring you back to life then join my party..." she mused with her index finger placed to her chin. It would be a cool sight regardless but hard to imagine actually happening. Might as well joke around with it. "Then he'd apologize and skip away like nothing every happened." She did end up fake pouting at Evan's joke of not having to use the fork she had taken from him in his supposed suicide attempt. Making a mental note to never let a fork in range of Evan if she ever encountered him in a bad mood, her pout reverted back into a smile as the fox continued to roam around and explore the nearby area.
Mentioning the Pokemon League the female simply shrugged. "I'm only challenging the league to keep up with other trainers and show my skills." The response was honest as it was whimsical in the sense that she was challenging gyms on a whim. She didn't want anyone to look down on her because she didn't have some number of badges so her compulsive need to prove herself as one of the best shown through. That wasn't why she started her journey though and that certainly isn't what she wanted her journey to be dictated by. Finishing the parfait, leaving a few apple chunks for the Vulpix to eat, she took Evan's fork instead of her own to cut into the slice of cake before her. "I don't have much interest in being the league champion or anything... I'm just trying to travel the region and see all the sights." She took a bite of the spongy soft cake and savored the sweet pastry before reflecting the subject. It would have been nice to get to know Evan more after all. "What about you? You're a trainer too so you must feel more inclined to be champion." He didn't seem like the type that would care but trainers were trainers for a reason.

[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey i finished this a long time ago and then my internet blew up and i had to sit here playing solitaire on my phone cause that was the only thing i could do... 8(
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]"good point." arceus was known for creating the entire universe so it wasn't too far off that he would be recreated again. that is if the legendary gave a care about what happened to random humans. he didn't really know the first thing about legendary but he assumed they were rather hostile toward people. he could be wrong but it didn't matter. evan glanced over at the pout syndra gave when he once again joked about killing himself with a fork. he really needed to stop or she would honestly think he was going to hurt himself with silverware.
he ate his sundae while syndra explained her interest in keeping up with the other trainers challenging the pokemon league. he understood trying to make a name for yourself out there. it was sometimes the reason trainers became trainers, to prove themselves to others out there they are the best of the best. some worked to become champion and be the strongest in their region while others were content to just working together with their pokemon. syndra seemed to be more of the latter, content training with her pokemon and traveling the region.
at the question directed to him, evan paused and leaned back in his chair. a small smile appeared on his face at the reason why he decided to come to hoenn in the first place. "i just want to travel." it had been that way for years. ever since they were little kids going on a journey way to over their heads. there were times he had mentioned to noah that they could take on the league when they were in johto but for reasons that had not worked out in their favor. he still wasn't sure if he wanted to try taking on another gym because of what happened back then. "i might challenge a gym or two along the way but i want to see the world." traveling made him feel like a little kid hanging out with noah and taking on the world. "is this your first time traveling?"
Syndra felt better, more elated to know that Evan shared the same lofty goals and desires as herself. Even if he was gay, or so she thought, it was nice to relate with someone else. A smile remained on her face as she listened to the red head talk. It seemed to her that he had more fun traveling memories than he could remember and one day she would have loved to be the same way. When asked the question of whether it was her first journey there was a brief chuckle in her exhale as she leaned back in her chair. "Was it that obvious?" she asked in an almost defeated tone. Could have been worse. He could have learned she was essentially broke and living off a box of scraps.
"Yeah. I'm seeing and experiencing lots of new things so far. It's all pretty exciting." For a moment Syndra looked off into the distant sky and the cotton like clouds floated away on the blue backdrop. Then her eyes moved to the small Vulpix on the table that had hatched just moments ago, now nibbling away at the apple chunks that were there for her to eat. Taking another bite of her cake as her thoughts drifted her lips pursed lightly. "I hope to see many more sights." Still the two of them were somewhat different. At least Evan had brought Noah along with him for the ride. Syndra was traveling alone. In retrospect she might have been able to bring her brothers along with her in her travels even if they would have slowed her down. Her concern was somewhat unwarranted but some lingering guilt stuck with her.
Determined to move on from herself Syndra decided to shift the subject. Remembering Evan said he was from Johto when they first met she decided to bring the subject up again now. "Hows Hoenn compared to Johto? I'm guessing you traveled Johto before taking the trip to this region." That and she was genuinely curious. At some point she was eager to visit the other regions if she could in the distant future.
It's okay. I understand there's a line waiting for your posts.

[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey *comes in almost two weeks later with starbucks* hey take this shit post okay? k bye
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]"not really." evan laughed at syndra's almost defeated tone. he was just curious if the girl had traveled to other regions besides this one. syndra acted just like any other trainer out there. but it was nice to know there were others like him who were happy with seeing the sights. he always wondered if he could even call himself a trainer cause he wasn't interested in battling the gyms or taking on the pokemon league. if his pokemon got stronger along the way, then so be it.
he watched as syndra looked toward the sky and then toward her newly hatched vulpix as she explained her experience on her journey so far. "at least you are enjoying yourself." what was the point in leaving home and exploring if you weren't having fun?
evan paused at the question syndra threw his way and thought about what johto was like compared to hoenn. "well the first thing that comes to mind is all the water. there was never this much in johto." his eyes looked out toward the ocean before looking back at syndra. "but it isn't much different. we had our own gyms and cities to explore. i think i might favor johto more because it's home for me. i have a lot of good memories there." evan tried to explain as best he could. he probably sounded too sentimental and didn't help explain the differences. "you should go there one day. if you ever visit, head to goldenrod city first. there is a lot of things to do and its one of its biggest cities."
the waiter came back and left the bill at their table after grabbing the dishes they were finished with. evan pulled out the money needed and placed it on the table next to the bill. "where are you headed now?"
Syndra nodded to Evan's words. If she wasn't having fun then she would have gone back home long ago. Leaning back in her seat now as the redhead gave a run through of the differences, a chuckle escaped as he mentioned water again. When they first met they both complained how this region had so much water as well. That was about all she gathered though. He didn't give much information or insight except for similarities and sentimentality sake. Starting off in a new region with a new slate was one thing that Syndra understood but if in the same situation the female didn't think she'd choose the same option as Evan.
The recommendation to go to Johto to at least visit was something that the green haired girl kept in mind. If only she had the money for the travel she would. Rather than saying that however she smiled, "One day I will hopefully. I'm just afraid Goldenrod will be too crowded when it happens." As the waiter came she gave a brief wave to him as he departed. For the most part she tried to avoid looking over at the amount of the bill partly out of politeness and partly because it would make her feel guilty. Nevertheless Evan casually placed down the cash on the table and once again Syndra evaded her gaze from that particular area as she thought over an answer. The fox on the other hand went over to sniff at the foreign objects on the table.
"Um I think I'm going to head back to the pokemon center. Afterwards who knows? Maybe I'll go back to Littleroot and have the Professor examine my Vulpix." She took her right hand to pet the fire type and goad her away from the cash with the fear that the baby would eat it. The fire type went with it and instead went back to Syndra. "With all the pokemon he raises for new trainers he seems like the best person to go to for advice." Taking a napkin to delicately wipe her lips just in case she looked back to Evan. "What about you? Going to go try to find Noah I'm guessing?"
It's okay. I understand there's a line waiting for your posts.

[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey i was gonna tell you i was about to post when you left but i decided not to and wanted to surprise you because yeah...hey
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]"probably but it's worth it once you go there." goldenrod city was always crowded considering it was one of the largest cities in the region. but the attractions there made up for all the traffic and visitors flowing through there each day.
evan watched warily as the vulpix stepped closer to sniff the money he had placed on the table for their meals. while she was cute, she wouldn't be so cute if she decided to start eating the money. thankfully syndra noticed it too and swayed the baby pokemon away from the cash. yeah he had money but he didn't want to spend anymore than he needed. noah would kill him and he wouldn't hear the end of it.
evan listened and nodded to syndra's plans about what she was doing next. the professor could probably help her and give her tips on how to raise the baby pokemon so there was no harm in returning to littleroot. but he was headed in the same direction as her. he wanted to get his swablu checked out at the pokemon center since she had been through quite the ordeal today. he knew she would be fine but better safe than sorry. "i'm headed to the pokemon center too. want to walk together?"
he stood up from his chair and grabbed his bag, being careful not to jostle the egg too much. at the mention of noah, he glanced up toward the sky and saw that it was not too late in the day. "noah will be fine. i'll meet up with him later today and he will pout that i left him alone for so long." usually it was the other way around but syndra didn't need to know that. "he's a big guy so he won't get into too much trouble."
"Noah pouting? I'd like to see that," she commented jokingly as she watched the male get up from his seat. Following suit she did the same albeit more exaggerated than it was calm. Scooping the fire type into her arms, cradling the fox as the baby pokemon squirmed slightly, Syndra looked around to make sure everything was in order. "Yeah let's go to the pokemon center together. You're nice company to have." Her playful smile danced on her lips. The fox yipped once as the girl made the effort to turn away and skip ahead of Evan. "I hope Noah doesn't see us and get jealous."

[attr="class","nv3"] Syndra Mawdrey you said 100 and i gave you 123 oops bye
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]"he does it all the time. he acts all big and bad but really he acts like a little kid." evan laughed and walked after syndra. he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he heard what syndra said about noah getting jealous. it was likely that he would but noah always thought too hard about things. they weren't on a date and he was already taken so to speak. he just decided to treat syndra out to lunch as a friend. he could make up the excuse that he was bribing syndra to keep quiet about the hoppip incident. "he'll be fine. remember what i said, give him a hug and he'll forget all about it. he'll probably malfunction or something."
"Ohhh?" she hummed. The mention of a hug again only further convinced her to at least try if only to get a response out of the angry man. Now she could just blame Evan if things turned for the worst. "I'll keep that in mind for next time." Adjusting the bag on her shoulder as to prevent it from falling, she turned to glance towards the red haired man. It wasn't a long walk from the pokemon center so not much else was said after that. Knowing that once they got there they would go their seperate ways, she twirled to face him once they made it to the sliding doors of the building. "Until next time. Say hi to Noah for me." With that she skipped off into the pokemon center.

[attr="class","mv1"]"yeah you should..." evan laughed nervously as syndra seemed to consider what he was saying. he was only joking but who knows...maybe noah would malfunction and not know what to do until syndra could back away enough. the trip to the pokemon center wasn't long since the cafe was just down the street. he was full from eating and he thought about taking a nap while his pokemon were getting all healed up. when they finally made it to the sliding doors, evan smiled and waved after syndra. "i'll let him know you said hi." he replied back and soon headed inside as well. "see ya."
