Pallet Town: This... was not home. He knew those four walls very well. They were safe. Sanctuary. He could just hide away and not worry about appearances or... life.
This was not that. His body felt stiff and he could feel sweat already building up in uncomfortable corners of his body. He just stood outside the house he'd woke up in, looking down at the bag in his hands. None... of it made sense. Maybe his brothers pulled some annoying scheme while he was sleeping...
His discomfort with the small town led him to walk right out, even if it meant going into the tall grass at the exit of the town. "Gah! Why doesn't anyone cut this?!" He craved pavement and society.
Pewter City: Ichimatsu eyed the rocky terrain with... mild disdain. He eyed the sign for the rock gym with much more disdain. And then his eyes fell down to the Shinx at his side that wasn't even looking at him. He tried to feel that same disappointment at his horrible type matchup... but it was a cat. Cats were wonderful. He couldn't be upset.
But, they wouldn't win a gym battle like this. He sighed, feeling his shoulders weigh down as he considered his options. The only one that seemed remotely doable was just... finding another pokemon to train up to fight this. So much effort. "Ugh..." Ichi did an about-face and slumped back the way they came. His Shinx took a moment to notice Ichi's change in direction, quickly bounding after him.
