[Hello Kitty]

((I typed... a huge reply... and lost it. That was earlier today, I didn't feel like typing up a new one until now, so I'm sorry its late.))

"That's really interesting. I mean, I've heard about people having uncanny knacks for Pokemon, but I never thought I'd meet anyone like that." Hoyt said with curiosity, looking over at Hiruka. "Hyde and I didn't get out of New Bark much. No one who lives there ever does. It's such a hole-in-the-wall little town."

It was interesting to watch the two strangers interact, it was almost like watching two siblings. Not the way Hyde and Hoyt acted.

"I'm definitely going to try..." Hoyt responded. "To be a good trainer I mean." He said with a sigh. "I don't know the first thing about it, though, other than what I've seen on TV." At least he was on the right track, according to the pair. The information they were providing was invaluable. Hearing it on the television was one thing, but hearing it from actual people with Pokemon was another.

"I just kind of worry sometimes because Cyndaquil is a fire Pokemon, and Chikorita is a grass Pokemon...so he obviously has the advantage." Hoyt looked down at his Chikorita, and noticed that Cyndaquil had curled up near Hyde's feet. It was somewhat endearing until he noticed that his brother had hardly acknowledged the Pokemon's existence.
