[He's tired. He ended up quite out of his range today while training, and he's paying for it now. The walk home is strenuous at best, and both of his on-hand Pokemon are worn as well.]

[You'll have to excuse him while he takes a break here along the route. Just enough to get his energy back.]

[If you can't see where this is going yet, shame on you.]

[Anyway. It's not particularly long before he's starting to doze in the shade here, head lolling just to the side.]

[The situation just wasn't in his favor - it's nice weather, he's beat, it's quiet aside from the chirps of the local Starly, and he's always been kind of at-home in more rugged environments.]

[It explains Iron Island, at least.]

[Regardless, leaving a friend to sleep in what's obviously open territory might not be the best idea. Go wake him up, chickie.]

[Whitlea knows sales. There's a department store on this road that's about to have a sale on different vitamins. Considering their effect and how much they actually cost? She's so there, and she's in a hurry to get there. It's a timed sale! If she has space in her bag when the clock strikes, she's going to be unhappy.

So determined is she to make a dent in their inventory that she's relying on her Sawsbuck to dart through the sparse people. People are getting quite angry, even though no one's getting hurt - the Sawsbuck is the one making all the move choices, so no risk of accident! - to which Whitlea herself is offering apologies.

Of a sort.

If they can't see a big deer coming, that's not her problem!]

'Scuse me! Kind of in a hurry! Emergency!

--Sorry! I can replace that! You okay?! [Calling over her shoulder, she's pretty sure she knocked someone down. Or at least knocked something over.]

[Considering the layout of the place, there wasn't much reason to specify a tell. Essentially, it's a dangerous cave within a pocket of chaos entirely tucked away from anywhere. If anyone else is showing up at this place, it can't be that fair many. If they seem like they belong here, chances are that's not anyone he should worry about.

Regardless, the problem isn't even in getting to the place (at least for him; he has no idea who's meeting him or what means of transport they have to get there) - it's making it presentable for a deathless encounter. So he's been scouting the area like a true romantic professional.

Which he is.

Unfortunately, what this place lacks in viable space it makes up for in sun-beaten grass and rocky obstacles. The best place he's found is on the west side of the pond, perched up and above the grass. It'll have to do.

Before anything can be done with it - though he has a picnic already in wait; it's the man's job to plan for this accordingly, see - he needs to meet up with this person first. They'll be able to find him at the Pokemon Center, waiting inside and away from unnecessary fuss with a book.

As soon as he has reason to look up, he will.]

He then noticed an Old friend of his, Dawn, the owner of it who he hasn't seen since they met in Iron Island once, but he hasn't seen much of her since, he decides to kindly approach her, with a smile.
