”Goddammit, I literally just washed this…”[break][break]

It was a sigh of a remark that escaped his lips softly as he examined his shirt for a short while, only pausing and straying his gaze from the oozing trail left along the fabric to gaze at the culprit, herself. Seemingly intent with sliding her way onto his shoulder, the trainer merely pressed his lips flatly and softly while eying her and maintaining gazes for a smaller while.[break][break]

He sighed a second time, patting her head while beginning to sit up.[break][break]

Pulling a knee closer to his chest, he hummed lowly while resting his elbow upon it within an idle manner, leaning faintly onto it as he gazed around. Before long, he found himself trailing a gaze in tandem to a certain, mewling creature as it shuffled across the clearing. A soft smile tugged upon his lips at the sight (there had been a certain woman he thought of upon seeing it), after after some, few moments of thought, he reached over for one of the capsules he’d been given before tossing it as it walked along.[break][break]

With another, deeper inhale, he pushed himself from the ground before long could pass; hues of scarlet and gold, alike, surveying the area all the while. By the time he stood properly and stably upon his feet (and as he gently began to reluctantly air his shirt out with a soft scrunch of the nose, feeling the fabric fight to cling against his skin), he peered around while beginning to walk along the area in exploration and observation, alike.[break][break]

He gave the heart shaped creature a glance in passing, and even a wave and a smile as it seemed to make a quivering gesture and cry at him— but otherwise he continued on his way.[break][break]

…It really was refreshing to be able to walk around in a nature oriented place, even if the landscape was ultimately manmade for the most part. Borderline overbearing musk of the swampier areas aside, it really was pleasant to walk through and examine the nearby fauna, regardless of whether they were animate or otherwise in the form of plants and the like.[break][break]

And speaking of pleasant fauna, he spotted a smaller little thing waddling across the clearing.[break][break]

He eyed it for a little while before shifting his gaze towards a nearby tree; a sense of recognition surfacing within his mind as he noted the berries growing upon it. After a moment of thought, he gave a hum while approaching and reaching up towards the branches, picking a couple of Oran Berries off and carefully approaching the Happiny.[break][break]

He lowered himself into a crouch once he ventured close enough, returning the gaze it gave him while offering the aforementioned berries.[break][break]

”Hey, there~,” he spoke softly, smiling. You hungry?”[break][break]

Although there was some apprehension at first, he was happy to see the berries he’d offered to the pink-hued creature be taken from his hands. Noises of what he could only assume to be idle contentedness met his ears as she began to snack on the berries, and after giving her a small pat upon the head, he left her to enjoy her snack before pressing on through the area.[break][break]

He strayed from the few paths integrated into the facilities, and upon noting another creature within his line of sight, he immediately and carefully stopped within his tracks. Lowering himself into a crouch (all for the purpose of making himself seem smaller and more approachable), he quietly gauged the next more it would make by the twitch and tilt of its ears.[break][break]

Once it seemed calmed enough to tilt its head back down to sniff along the ground, the man tossed another Safari ball towards it.[break][break]
