[Hello Kitty]

((So sorry, I've been really caught up today.))

The flash of the Pokeball made Hoyt step back slightly in awe. He'd never gotten Chikorita to go into her Pokeball, so he was new to the concept. When Hiruka began showing slight distress at the spider Pokemon lifting her hat, he tilted his head in curiosity. Was she having a bad hair day? Girls were such a mystery. He didn't even notice the wild Pokemon perk their little heads up and give the air a whiff.

"Hm?" Hyde looked up when he realized Hiruka was talking to him. "No it's not a big deal. He'll get in his Pokeball." He said it with a sternness in his voice, making Hoyt sigh. Hyde must not have been listening to anything Hiruka or Li said. Either that, or he didn't take it to heart. Knowing his brother, it was probably the latter. Nothing got through to him emotionally.

"Yeah, I'm Hoyt." The twin standing near the girl and her companion said. "He's Hyde. Again, sorry about him." The topic of food was brought up next, making Hoyt's stomach rumble. "You sure it's okay?" He asked, opening the container and taking out one of the pastries. "It looks delicious... Hyde, do you want one?"

"I'm not hungry." Was the grumpy twins response.

"...." Hoyt sighed as he took a bite of the food. "Violet City? Yes, that's the next town, right?" He made sure to finish chewing before talking. "You think here would be a good place to train?"
