Bosco walked with his hands behind his back. He had been pleased that the walk had not been too terrible. He had not been hunting for pokemon on his walk, it was more... Well, he wanted to explore the world. He had been on this world for a while, and he was honestly tired of only seeing one town, as beautiful as it was. With Dilla by his side, he walked slowly up the road. The small pokemon seemed pleased to be out, seeing the sights with his trainer.

“What do you think? Pokecenter first, so you can get some rest? Then I can always see about finding us a place to crash out. I'm sure they have plenty of hotels.” He said, pondering for a few moments as he reached into his back pack and pulled out a small treat for his friend. He flipped it into the air, letting it fall towards the big jaw pokemon. He danced around, angling himself under it and then opened the massive maw, letting it fall right it and happily chewing. “Man, if I had realized you liked jerky this much, I would have stocked up on it long before we left home.” He said, chuckling a bit.

He reached down, rubbing the head of the pokemon for a moment before seeing the girl eating the sandwich in front of the pokecenter. “Well, that helps. Excuse me?” He asked the woman, smiling a bit at her. “Do you know where one of the hotels of this area is? I'm new in town.”

“Oh, Dilla here? Yeah, I got him from one of the local trainer coaches. I put in my order for him and got him not too long ago. He is only a few weeks old as well. Dilla is a good lad however. He is strong, smart, and brave. I only wanted a water type pokemon, but wasn't expecting one as awesome as this little guy.” He rubbed his head again, smiling a bit. “One of my friends got a charmander, and is kinda annoyed because I will end up beating him in the long run when it comes to any matches we have.” He chuckled a bit, shaking his head softly.

The totodile was only about two feet tall, smiling back at the woman and doing a small dance for her. “Dilla here is pretty even tempered. Some times he can get a bit overly excited, and that is why most of them are not often picked. They can be wild for their emotions, and they tend to be a bit... Nippy at times. So far, Dilla here has not been that way, but he can be.” He said, chuckling a bit. “Are you a trainer as well? Not many people have commented on my choice of a starter?"


ASHLEY LEE

“Ahh, wonderful. Thank you.” He said, smiling a bit at her. “I'm Bosco. And... If you really want to, you can always fight against him. He needs the practice. We have captured a few friends, but I have not really tested them hard in battle yet. Hell, Dilla here has been pretty lucky. The first pokemon he did battle against was a pidgey, then a Pinsir. He got some help to defeat an Onix, but we have not been in a serious battle since I got him.”

Dilla did another little dance and played around her side for a second before hopping up once and standing next to Bosco. The trainer reached down, petting his small friend for a second. “You want a challenge huh? I'll do what I can when I am able to my little buddy. Let's also hope the hotel is open. I'd rather not have to crash out in the tent again. That gets old after a while, at least when someone is being a blanket hog.” He said, poking the pokemon on the top of his head. “I let you let you sleep next to me one time, and you think you get to always.”

The pokemon made a noise, much a kin to a child being caught and trying to be cute to avoid trouble. A shrug followed and he stepped behind her as she walked. “A Fighter huh? So you are trying to make sure you and your pokemon as strong as possible? Or do you simply wanna push your own limits?”He asked, wondering about her own personal motivation. She seemed like an interesting young woman.

ASHLEY LEE

“Thank you. It means forest, though I seem to have more affinity with my last name than my first. Water types are seemingly more interesting and fun. Though I do love many kinds of pokemon.” He said, chuckling a bit as he rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah, I have not been able to do much training with her yet. From my understanding, there some Onix that are rather... Difficult to train simply because of their nature. She seems to be pretty confident at very least. If we ever go traveling together... Maybe I could call her out and we could ride on her back or something.”

The suggestion sounded better in his head. He shook his head for a moment before she gave the answer to his question. Both. She wanted to really push her own limits and those of her pokemon, to be strong, both in person and as a trainer on top of it. She even mentioned how she wanted to be strong like her pokemon as well. “I can understand and respect that. It's always good to have a goal, and something like that is honestly a great way to be.”

She complimented his hair and then asked about Dilla. “Thank you. As for the training against other pokemon... Well, against wild ones he has been lucky and had his type and moves be on his side. He has never had the chance to fight another trained pokemon. Then again, I have not exactly been hunting for any real battles of that nature. Are you offering to let him fight?”

ASHLEY LEE

"Alright. I will keep that in mind. He is going to be getting some serious training in the next few days if I can help it. Resting for now, but tomorrow is a new day, and I'm sure Dilla would love to eventually fight some pokemon with trainers behind them. I'm sure he would really benefit from it." He nodded once, looking around as they walked. She was an honest person, and he liked that. "If push comes to shove, we can always see about training together and seeking out some wild pokemon for our teams."

Once they arrived at the hotel, he looked over it. Five stories, a simple thing, but not bad at all. A smile was on his face as well, looking over it and then back to her. "I'd love to get your information. You are someone to be inspired by. A good cause and devotion to yourself and your pokemon. I'm sure you are going to be a force to be reckoned with in not too long at all." He gave a soft nod and then offered her his phone so they could remain in contact.

"Four walls, a roof, and a bed. At that point, that is a good room. I'm not overly picky when it comes to that. As long as it is in good repair and has that, I'll be fine. Dilla would probably like a bath, but the other two will have to wait until they are out of town to come out. Onix and Pinsir aren't exactly small after all. People don't always like seeing them inside of buildings and the like." He chuckled once more and remained smiling as the pokemon danced around them. "Alright Dilla, calm it down."


ASHLEY LEE

"I'll be right back." He said, smiling once more before walking up to the receptionist. It took only a few moments to get a room reserved for himself, and the key to said room. In truth, it was pretty nice in here. Far better than simply staying in his tent but then again, it wasn't overly hard to beat an experience like that. Bosco walked into the room and looked around. There was a small smile upon his lips as he walked over to the bed, setting down his backpack and sighing deeply. Dilla was already exploring the room, and he knew this one would get into trouble if left to his own devices.

Walking to the bathroom, it only took him a few moments to fill the bath tub with hot water, the pokemon already attracted to it. He was on his tip toes, looking into the water and grinning wide. It was honestly kinda funny. Dilla was like a small child who loved the water. Picking up the pokemon, he would carefully set it in the water, knowing this pokemon would be in here for hours if allowed. Not like it would do him any harm.

"Be good. I'm going to go visit with my new friend. Keep an eye on the pokeballs, and if anyone other than me comes in here, you have permission to bite them." He said, scratching the pokemon's belly before walking out of the room and towards the lounge.

On his way there, he grabbed a couple of waters and sodas, along with a snack for himself... He looked at what was in there for a second, before grabbing something covered in chocolate for her. He wasn't sure what she liked, so he was in the dark when it came to guessing. When he saw her, she was looking out the windows at the storm that had just arrived.

"Well, I guess we both got inside just in time then huh? Water? Soda?" He asked, offering them both to her.

He handed over the water no problem and had a seat for himself as well, chuckling a bit. “He is spending time in a bath. I think the warmth, plus the fact that it is water, makes him sleepy. That little brat can hold his breath without thinking about it and will rise and fall in the water when he had reached his limit of air, floating to the top, exhaling, and then taking in a big breath before slowly sinking back down as long as the water remains warm.”

Opening the top of the water for himself as well, he set the soda on the floor. As humorous as it sounded, Dilla liked the sodas, and Bosco personally believed it was the sugars in that, since he was so high energy and all, that kept him going. “I really do hope he mellows out as he gets older and or evolved. Can you imagine a seven foot tall Feraligtr with the same level of energy and playfulness as Dilla has now? I'm pretty sure no one would ever be able to survive him.” He said with a soft chuckle. “As for how I deal with it? I simply let him out of the pokeball and dance around, play around, and burn off all his energy. He is, oddly enough, a lot like one of my younger siblings, who did the same thing when he was really little.”

With a shrug, he looked at her. “What about each of yours? Do any of them have odd quirks or natures? I know a lot of pokemon are like people, and they have their own ways of setting themselves a part from the crowd.” He said, nodding once more to her.
