.:~Pokemon Rp: The Journey Begins!~:.

Ronin waved back and hopped out of the bag as if nothing had happened.

Tri just chuckled to himself. "I don't think he likes Poké Balls!"

Nacho smirked. "Silly, that means you have to carry him around with you from now on! That's what I do with Pika~"

Pika smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

Lilly just watched Ronin and waved. "Hi! I have a name now!" She said. "Well, my name was Lilly in the wild but he named me Lilly officially!"

Tri got up and laughed. "Oh no! I paid good money for that Poké Ball, he gets to walk!"

Ronin smiled at Lilly. "That's great! Now that I'm out, I won't have to stay cr-" He heard Tri say what he did and his jaw dropped. "WHAT?! That's worse than being cramped!"

As the employee turned their back to grab her requested items, Spark raised her head up to stare at the ceiling, looking with deadly concentration and a grim face. Anyone who knew her well knew that that was her way to prevent stray tears from escaping her eyes, which tended to happen quite frequently. She already could tell that her traveling companions were interested more about each other than her, so she had to will herself to reason that she would just have to deal with it. The only problem in her solution was that the supposed fact was hard for her to come to terms with, making her blink back her emotions like she did. Within the moment the employee returned, Spark half-heartedly regained her composure and received the items after paying for them. She then headed outside, even quieter than before.

((I think we went to the Pokemart to buy supplies, Lilly officially has a name, Ronin no longer has a Pokeball, and Spark is pouting about stuff))

Tri shook his head. "No thanks. He's fine, right buddy?" He looked down at Ronin with a grin. The Oshawott just nodded reluctantly. "Good!"

Ronin was embarrassed and angry at himself. If he hadn't bursted out of his Poké Ball, he might be semi-comfortable right now. He facepawed himself before saying, "I'm an idiot." He looked over at Lilly and Pika, nodding slowly. "I guess, but at any size I'll fit in that Poké Ball. At this size, keeping up with the humans will be torture!"

Tri glanced at Spark, noticing that she hadn't said anything. "Hey Spark? You alright?"

Tri tilted his head to the side a bit. "You don't seem fine. C'mon, you can tell us."

Tri didn't exactly believe Spark's answer, but he nodded. "Alright, just know you don't have to be. We got your back!"

Kantu clapped his hands to together. "So, uh, what're we doing here?

Tri took Ronin from Nacho and placed him on the ground. "NOW everyone's ready! Gruesax, Lilly, return!" He threw two Poké Balls into the air to recall his Pokémon.

Gruesax waved at the unfortunate Oshawott with a grin before he was absorbed into his Poké Ball.

Spark nodded again, as did Neta.

Pika just stayed perched on Nacho's shoulder as she began walking off. "Okay guys, this route that's coming up is Route 1. It's a small path that's full of new pokemon to catch!" Grinning, she fist pumped. "And I'm going to get one~!"
