feel the noise

Hey. Is anyone around Azalea? I wanted to get some training in before I took on the gym leader.

[ And he needed social interaction that wasn't one prissy-faced jerk. ]

H-hey cut that out I’m trying to—
[ Don’t mind Neku as he fumbles with the communicator, a burst of flames appearing on the screen as orange locks of hair come in and out of focus. At least he's had enough sense to wait until he's relatively calm to even think to use the Gear like this. ] I know you’re hungry but just wait a sec—

[ Which was followed by the PokéGear Connect dropping to the ground, showing a rather lively cyndaquil climbing up on his owner, perching on his shoulder. Thankfully, his fire had disappeared for the time being, and he was currently nuzzling the young man’s cheek. ]

I really hope that’s not broken… damn… [ Despite his rather grumpy statement and crossed arms, there was a hint of a smile appearing on his face. How could anyone be mad when a cyndaquil was nuzzling you? ] Geez, you’re such a pest… [ It was spoken with a gentle warmth before Neku leaned down to snatch up the PokéGear Connect. They're surprisingly similar, what with their spikes and whatnot. ]

--Uh, sorry ‘bout that. Would someone be willing to give me a heads up on where to go from here? I’m kinda stuck walking around in a circle.

[ yeah there’s a lot of trees and Neku isn’t so great with places that aren’t cities so he just lamely tilts the PCG to show his surroundings. Definitely near New Bark Town, just outside of it, in fact!!… ] ...Thanks.
