Route 29
Tristan was still trying to get the hang of everything himself, so unfortunately there wasn't much he had to offer her other than an ear to tell her troubles to. One forest looks like any other if it's a forest you've never been in before.
no subject
The little bud squeaks as she sees Tristan as well, “Bud? Budew.”
“Um, I’m definitely alright, but it looks like some of these squirrels and rabbit earred things just wanted to chase after Carmen just because she is pretty small,” she explains to him, “I tried to shield her from them but it did got out of control.”
no subject
It was at about this time, when his chimchar swung down out of a nearby tree to plop itself onto his trenchcoated shoulder. He hadn't thought of a name for it yet, but it seemed friendly enough despite that.
"You were lucky to make it back here. Were you traveling out there by yourselves?"
no subject
“Budew! Dew,” Carmen squeaks as she sees Tristan’s Chimchar coming down from the tree, “Bud, Dew?”
no subject
"Chim char, char." The pokémon returned in kind. Chimchar wouldn't be opposed to a little snack himself but Budew wasn't on the menu. Something fruiter perhaps would be more appealing.
"Though I guess that would make it hard to train her, right?"
no subject
“Oh I got an idea, maybe I could on check my Pokédex to see what moves she can to keep those squirrels away from us.”
no subject
"So you already know how to use that thing? ... I know I'm supposed to be helping you but I'm clueless on all of this. Can you show me what I'm supposed to do with this stuff?" And which one the Pokédex even is. That would be a good start. "I'm Tristan, by the way. Tristan Taylor, you are?"
no subject
“Well she really wants to fight as well, though her size could be an obstacle she has to overcome. Hopefully there is a way for her to evolve into a species that is much stronger,” Isabela admits to him.
“Oh, I had used the Pokédex in my PokéGear a while ago and it does have a speech feature whenever I look up on a Pokémon. I am still new in using the device but it has been pretty handy in learning about the species of this world. My name is Isabela Madrigal. It is very nice to meet you, Tristan.”
no subject
"I've had friends like that... kind of small in stature but determined to face whatever is thrown at them." Though he couldn't imagine Yugi, the person he was referencing, evolving into another version of himself, he could always trade places with the pharaoh and let him fight. That was kinda like an evolution.
Not at all like one."Hey, that sounds pretty handy. I wonder if I got one of those." Reaching for his bag, Chimchar moves to sit on the top of his head. "Why you little..." Not to be entirely distracted, he pulls out the first bit of tech he can find in that backpack. "Is it this thing?"
"Nice to meet you too. I hang out with a lotta guys so I don't often get to talk to someone as attractive as you. That's not a pick-up line, just the truth."

".. Did I stick my foot in my mouth already?" Not sure whether she was being sarcastic or not. I mean, he had commented on her looks which might have been triggering if that's what she was used to. "That might be a new world record." The self-deprecating humor was meant to lighten the atmosphere.
"If you saw the guys I usually hang out with, you'd understand why I said it."
no subject
Isabela’s eyes widen in surprise, wondering what Tristan’s guy friends are thinking when she heard that last one. Carmen, being still a young Pokémon, looks to be very stumped about the dating behavior of humans with a stumped look on her face.
“Bud? Dew?”
no subject
Wow, it was only his first day and he was already making a great first impression.
no subject
Carmen happily bounces up and down on the ground, trying to get herself excited for the journey, “Budew, Budew, Budew!”
“Wow, you must be very excited to go and see the other places in Jotho, aren’t you, Carmen?”
“Bud-Dew!”
no subject
"Aw, well- don't let me hold you up if you two want to get underway. Carmen seems like she's just raring to go."
There's still the matter of safety though.
"Do ya think that once you get to the other side of this route you might find an area that's better for training your pokémon? I mean, Chimchar and I wouldn't mind coming along at least that far so you don't have to turn around again."
no subject
“Bud-Dew! Dew!”
no subject
"It wasn't exactly the same- but it still involved having to partner up with real monsters in order to make any kind of progress."
"Hopefully, I can apply some of that experience here." After a pause. "Are you ready to head back out?"
