A giggle escaped Tease's lips, the girl reaching out with her hand outstretched to run it through the tall grass that surrounded her. She obviously had a blast as she sat there, just off the pathway, watching Matt and the small, green bird he held gently in his hands.

"It's a female Natu, honey," she managed to say in between giggles, stroking the head of the small, snake-like creature that had curled herself up in her lap, "I'm pretty sure that's a rather obvious statement,"

"Yeah, but..." Matt started, pouting just slightly as he brought his hands, and thus the Natu, closer to his face, "But I named her after my male Pidgey,"

Ace II stared at her new master, her dreamy eyes narrowed just slightly. He'd been nice to her, sure, but she couldn't understand why he was making such a fuss out of her new name. Ace was a pretty awesome name, right? Really, she could live with a boy's name. It beat something more girly and more stupid by ten miles.

Matt sighted, in a manner that could be considered he admitted his defeat, and carefully placed the small bird on his shoulder, like he used to do with the original Ace. The Natu seemed pleased with her spot, and quickly made herself comfortable, puffing out her chest to look more important.

"I guess we've got no choice but to stick with it," the male said with a nod, before aiming his attention down at his traveling companion, a smile curving his lips as he held out his hand to her, "My lady?"

Her cheeks growing just a tad pink, Tease allowed her Seaward Lyn to slither up her arm and make herself comfortable on her shoulders, where the Seaward laid herself down as some sort of improvised scarf, before taking Matt's hand and pulling herself back up her feet.

"Idiot," she said softly, her tone bearing a certain fondness. It must have, for she didn't dare to look up, her attention focused on her feet. Gently, Matt put a finger under her chin and tilted her head up, so she faced him, smiling still.

"Why, thank you,"[/ul][/ul][/size]

It was a rather beautiful day on route one. The sun was shining brightly from amongst only sparse cloud cover; and there didn't seem to even be a hint of possible rain in the clear, bright blue sky. The sounds of Pidgey were evident in the area, however none of the small brown birds could be seen; rather two very different creatures were visible.

A plant seemed to actually be moving through the high grasses, its large green leaves swaying back and forth as it walked. Small red eyes were present on its dark purplish-blue body, looking around curiously as it apparently searched for something in the tall foliage that surrounded it. "Oddish, od..." it chimed, apparently not noticing the two individuals that were so close by.

Also close by, a small ladybird-like Pokemon was buzzing through the tall grasses. Its eyes were scanning the area around it, like the Oddish, as if it was looking for something. Its wings shimmered as it flew, their translucent surfaces reflecting sunlight in a small light show over the route. Where was he? "Ledy..." it sighed. It seemed that the bug Pokemon too did not notice the trainers that were so close by, her eyes too focused on the ground below.

However, perhaps this would be a chance to get a sneak attack in if one wished; though, what in the world did the two Pokemon seem to be looking for on the route?
