By far the only two words that came to mind as big beady eyes the color of onyx stared up at him in content. What lingered behind such windows to the soul for such a specimen. Who only knew what thoughts it was thinking as this young pound of flesh stood towering over top it's own minimal height. Both no doubt teemed with a current of curiosity. This new bound trainer and his would be companion for the road. Rightfully so as they had barely spent an hour at most with one another. Still there was a strange sort of calmness between them as if to suggest some kind of mutual understanding. This was a big day for them both. A strange day and at the same time an exciting one.
Back and forth, back and forth. The little turtle hobbled from one stubby leg to the next. A fluent stream of coos and joy being emulated through it's native calls as it fumbled between the branches and the leaves of a nearby row of bushes. It was eager to explore at the the very least. A trait that if anything sparked a brief sensation of joy in Beta as he watched the little guy carry on his merry way. Though the introductions had been nerve wracking and to say the least a little awkward. Now as he sat and took it all in. Everything about the situation just kinda felt right.
To explore new towns and cities around Hoenn. One life long goal he had hoped for coming true and with a new friend at his side to boot. A little scary to think it was all coming so fast and at the same time as he stopped to imagine the possibilities, it made Beta's heart skip a beat in anticipation. A dream come true indeed.
Into the pocket of his vest Beta did reach. In return bringing forth a hand of small bite sized Poke-food the Professor had given him on the way out. A method of further bonding he had suggested upon handing over the food. With the Professors' words still in his head Beta figured it was a good a chance as any to try now. Taking a piece in the other hand he outstretched. In doing so he called out for the tiny turtle's attention.
"Harmone. I have something to show you. Harmone come here."
Further and further he would reach out towards it. Hoping for some kind of approach. Little aware to anyone else that might be around them.

For once in Dylan's life time he stood there in his Magma Outfit by the road with a Riolu in it, peaking its head out through the collar. "Ri-Ri?" The Emanation Pokémon spoke softly and yawned shutting its eyes. "Awwh, you're so cute." Dylan muttered and patted its head. "I wonder who could be out here, maybe they'll want to battle or something." He needed to train Riolu a bit anyway. Dylan walked down the route in search of someone. "I wish I could be in my normal clothes, but they got too dirty. . ." He muttered pouting to himself, he heard a rustle in the bushes and quickly turned to it. "A wild Pokémon?!" Dylan shouted and Riolu eyes shooting open growling at the leaves.
WORDS 125 TAGSBeta Genesis NOTES It's late I'm tired this post is bad, I apologize.
A rustle nearby and the Pokemon was on alert with an instance. This in turn alerting the boy in response. His posture shot upward in tension, the food falling from the clasp of his hand due to the sudden transition. Out onto the ground it spilled against the dirt and his shoes. Not that he would notice as the moment he was able Beta rose to his feet. Semi serious expression appearing on his face as his dual tone blue eyes scanned the immediate area around them.
Weird. No sign of anything persay.
Then again Pokemon had senses well beyond what average humans could comprehend without further elaboration. His Pokemon knew something he didn't, that something was here and hidden in plain sight. What the was he did not know but perhaps it was better to trust the judgement of his new friend and extend a little faith as well. A few steps forward Beta made sure to be partly cautious as he approached. Considering the two were still on unfamiliar terms, though he trusted the little guy to some degree. It never hurt to use some logic either.
Eyes peeled for movement or any signs of change Beta called out to the Squirtle once more. This time inquiring in place of attention seeking. In general Pokemon were fairly intelligent or at least most were to the point that could understand the common tongue of their trainers. Hopefully the same would apply here. 'Easy Harmone, easy. What is it man? What's bothering you?" Closer and closer Beta inched forward until he got a response.
In place Harmone took a defense stance. One stubby arm pointing straight in the direction of the disturbances source. He refused to move from his spot, gibbering in his own incoherent shouts. Every now and then looking back at Beta with fierce certainty in his presence. Harmone was ready to protect against the threat or rather what he believed to be one without realizing.
To that Beta gave a nob and let himself be guided. Certain now there was something or perhaps someone there. Regardless or threat or not. He then gave out a single warning. "Whoevers out there, show yourself!" He did well to remain civil in his words. His tone fairly level as the last thing he necessarily wanted was to come off threatening.

When Dylan heard another humans voice he eagerly popped his head into Beta's sight. "Howdy!" He said with a bright and kind smile. He quickly scanned the boy's face and outfit, he was going to try his hardest to remember this person for as long as he can, since Beta had seen Dylan in his Magma Outfit, he could easily call him out when he was out of it. "I'm Dice, pleasure to meet you." He added petting the Riolu in his hood. "What brings you to this route?" He added and hopped over the bush towards Beta and his Squirtle. "Cool Pokémon." He commented and stuck out his hand for a shake.
His Riolu tilted his head jumping out of Dylan's hoodie, he was eager to meet the Squirtle. "Ri-Riol!" He said and hold out his small paw for a shake with the Water Type. Afterwards he would back to Dylan, climbing up his back and sitting upon his shoulder mirroring the smile Dylan had switched across his face. "Riolu!"

[attr="class","mv1"]he didn't understand why he was all the way back in littleroot. he had briefly stopped in odale town after he had met another trainer on the way. there had been no way he was going to make it back to petalburg before dark and the thought of traveling through route 102 through the dark was not appealing in the slightest. so instead evan stayed the night at odale after sending a quick text message to the one who would be looking for him that night. he managed to snag a room at the pokemon center before they filled up and slept for the night in an uncomfortable bed and regret in his mind.
morning came and figuring he had more time to travel back to littleroot and then head up to petalburg, evan quickly left for a walk. littleroot had been a boring place without too much in it except for the pokemon lab. he figured he might be able to catch something he didn't see before when he had first rushed out of the town.
walking into littleroot, he briefly heard the beginnings of a conversation and glanced over to see what was happening. the swablu on his shoulder had other plans however. taking off, she flew toward the two trainers standing nearby and landed near the pokemon on the ground. ruffling her feathes, she gave a small song in greeting and hopped in place. "uh...sorry about that!" evan walked over and picked up the flying type with a look of exasperation. "didn't meant to interrupt. she's just really friendly."

Dylan almost jumped when he heard another voice, he was hoping he'd only see one person in this uniform, not two, not three, not any number higher then one. Dylan wasn't that good at math though, so not like it mattered. "Wait 1.5 rounds up damn it." He muttered and turned to see what appeared behind him, only to see a cloud. . .? "Did you fall from the sky little cloud?" Dylan asked before seeing all the blue hidden underneath the cloud-like puffs. "Whoa you're a Pokémon. . . Where did you come from?" He muttered and looked around to see another man. "Oh it's the .5 guy! Damn it why did you have to round up!" Dylan thought to himself, but didn't say a word.
"Hello! You aren't interrupting anything!" Dylan said with a smile, hopefully this guy knew nothing about Team Magma or Team Aqua. "What brings you to this lovely town?" He asked rubbing the back of his head. "Please don't notice the hoodie, please don't notice the hoodie, please don't notice the hoodie." Was all that went through Dylan's mind currently.
This day was just getting weirder by the minute and yet in honesty he couldn't say he minded all that much. As another man appeared to greet him, an rather eccentric display of friendliness about him from the bright smile to the skip in step. It was an interesting introduction to say the least but definitely amusing all the same. If anything it was also a nice change being in a small town where literally no face was familiar. Still though his intensity begged a question or two which the youth quickly dropped from his mind altogether. No need to ruin a good thing with too overthinking.
As the man drew closer Beta couldn't help but eye him up and down. Such strange clothing for a traveler. Then again, he wasn't much to judge himself. His own outfits looking like something straight out of a weird science fiction series. A habit he had gotten into at a young age and since hadn't been able to break. Not that he minded too much. Every person was free to express themselves in whatever manner they felt appropriate. This stranger being no exception. With that said, the red and black hoodie was definitely a look worth remembering.
Feeding off the energetic vibe of the man Beta released a smile of his own. A nod of his head given in polite acknowledgement of the new company. "Same to you of course. I'm Beta and this guy over here is Harmone." At the mention of his name Harmone let loose a prideful call, shooting a look to both the man and his Riolu as if he were implying he was tough. It wasn't till the other Pokemon came down to exchange pleasantries that his guard lessened and his tensions slowly started to disappear.
One stubby arm stretched out and took it's paw. Slight confusion on it's face as the two would shake in greeting which shortly after the Riolu rejoined it's trainer. Though at first he had considered them a threat. Now he just wasn't sure what to make of them. If anything though they seemed friendly enough. Something which he could convince himself to accept.
Before the conversation could carry any further a third set of two entered. Bringing with them another trainer and Pokemon duo. This time in specific a blue mass shrouded in tuffs of clouds and a red haired man. Wow, so many people today! Not that he terribly minded all the new faces. It was just surprising how many he was getting to meet on his first proper day out on his own.
One thing was for certain. This new comer had quite the beautiful Pokemon to boot. Such glorious fluffy wings that seemed as soft as pillows and a small round body with a lovely shade of skin. It's entire design was very appealing to say the least. Definitely one Beta would keep in the record books for a later date. With a wave of his hand Beta welcomed the newcomer alongside Dylan. Two was nice but three was definitely better. "Hey now. No harm, no foul. It's awesome to see so many people around here. You included and this cutie with you too." As he made the comment Beta flashed his smile at the Swablu.
While the humans continued to talk Harmone could help but get a little excited with the new Pokemon around him. His tail lightly bobbed back and forth to reflect as such. The more he stood by Beta's side. The more he wished the two others would come down to talk or maybe even play around.
[attr="class","nv3"] but i look at you. i look at you, and god, constellations are bursting, fires are dying, silence is deafening, the whole damn world is terrifying - - - – – and im falling, god, i’m falling.
[attr="class","mv1"]it was strange to think that the cause of how he met other people was because of his swablu. whenever there were others around, the flying type couldn't help but fly over and gree them whether they knew them or not. sometimes it turned out okay and he ended up meeting really great people. other times people got annoyed when the swablu ended up on their head for no apparent reason. it was a 50/50 each time they ran into someone new. luckily the flying type chose not to take perch on the other people's heads and was content hopping next to the new pokemon.
evan sighed in relief when he realized he wasn't interrupting their conversation. it looked the two had just ran into each other as well. the swablu cooed softly at being called cute before she hopped closer to the other pokemon. she waved her feathers in greeting before taking flight and landing on the squirtle's head. "oh we just stopped to see the sights. i'm heading back to petalburg soon." evan grinned over at the males before glancing briefly over at the one dressed in red. it kind of looked like a halloween costume except a little more stylish than those.
"hey nice hoodie." he nodded toward dylan and then looked between the two again. "what bring you guys out here?" littleroot was the town where trainers started off and usually the people he met had just came from the lab.

It seemed neither of these two knew what Team Aqua or Team Magma was, Dylan was going to let them live in ignorant bliss, they'd figure out themselves eventually. Riolu jumped down again towards Swablu and greeted it happily. "Riolu!" The Emanation Pokémon then stuck out it's small arm and shaked Swablu's wing, it had learned this from Dylan doing it so much when he met a new person, in fact he was sticking out his arm towards Evan right now. "I'm Dice, pleasure to meet you."
Dylan's heart stopped once Evan began checking out his outfit, did he actually know about Team Magma, and that it just briefly escaped his mind, or was he part of Team Aqua? Who knows Dylan had to wait a find out. "Ehehehe." He chuckled waiting for Evan to say something, and when he did Dylan's heart began moving again. "O-oh thanks, my Mom made it for me." He lied, but hopefully Evan wouldn't catch it. He quickly moved on. "Oh I'm just here looking to get some in training that's all you know."
Small talon toes perched upon his head made Harmone perk up his head in an instance. The calm faced expression of the the new Swablu right above him. Glimpses of it's white cloudy wings flashing briefly from each side of his vision. In that moment he was unsure of how to act or even to respond. Not that it mattered much as his excitement got the better of him. In turn causing the Squirtle to lose balance and fall backwards, butt side first, to the ground. Oddly enough when he landed against the ground with a light thud. All Harmone could do was sound with a roar of laughter.
Unaware to the turn of weird events between their Pokemon. The three boys continued to exchange pleasantries. Their conversation taking a turn from introduction, to compliments, and now to the purpose of their individual journeys. To be honest, this kind of thing was rather interesting in Beta's opinion. To know why I person did what they did. What influenced their goals and ideas. Essentially what made them tick day in and day out. It was all fascinating to him and if anything an enlightening experience whenever such an opportunity presented itself.
"I gotta admit. Your outfit is very interesting. I like it even." Beta further added onto Evan's comment. There was something about it's design that kept bringing the teen back to look every now and then. Like there was some significance maybe and the point was just being lost on him. That or maybe he was overthinking things as he usually did. Another nasty personal habit. All the same Beta continued to add in his own two cents as there was a chance to do so. The time spent with the two guys a nice change of pace for his first day.
"So one trainer and one traveler." Eyes going back and forth between the two. Beta placed a thumb to his chest. "As for myself, truth be told, this is my first day as a new trainer. So I guess I'm here to set out on a new adventure you could say."

[attr="class","mv1"]"you can call me evan." he reached forward and shook dice's hand with a smile. he was always meeting new people around this area which made him slightly happy. littleroot really was the town where everyone started out. his own pokemon was making greetings of her own as she watched curiously as the riolu came to shake her wing. she gave a happy cry as if to say hello before flying up when the excited squirtle fell over with a laugh. she landed once again next to the two pokemon and laughed alongside the squirtle, hoping to make new friends with them.
evan nodded in agreement when the other male commented further on dice's interesting outfit. there was something about it that made him give it a double take but he wasn't sure what yet. it could have been a symbol of a popular band or group from hoenn he just didn't know about yet. either way evan did like the design and wouldn't mind getting one in the near future. at the comment that his mother made him the hoodie, evan's hopes of getting one were slightly diminished but he wasn't too bothered by it. "she did a good job." he smiled noting that the man looked a little nervous saying that. maybe he was embarrassed his mom made him the clothes?
he turned his attention back to the other once he pronounced he was a starting trainer. "congratulations on starting your journey." he had guessed since almost every trainer he had met so far in the town had just started out. he wondered if dice had just started as well since he was training in littleroot. then again, he had started weeks ago and he was back where he started. "eat your vegetables, drink plenty of water, get some sleep, and remember your pokemon there is your friend." he jokingly said almost like he was a parent that was giving advice to a kid. he hoped the other caught on to his jest and didn't take what he said seriously...at least the part about the pokemon was true.
