Although Davey said he was cool with splitting up, Toorop suspected that he was just trying to go with the flow seeing as he hadn't drawn a straw when he "agreed".  Toorop gave a chuckle and in his mind thought "I hope for his sake he gets paired with Jackie.  If he gets paired with me or Davey we may have to talk him off a ledge because he'll constantly be thinking about Jackie and someone else getting 'alone time' with her."  Toorop wasn't interested in Jackie like that.  Not that she wasn't attractive, she was, he just had other things on his mind and figured he could probably find someone that matched him better, but who knows, the journey was still new and the group still had a lot of figuring itself out to do.  He also thought that Jason and him could probably get in some training as the Pokemon did their thing too.   Toorop felt bad for messing with Jason a little too early and hoped he didn't give off the wrong vibe.  Probably should have eased into that, but if you know anything about T, there isn't anything he won't dive into head first.  When he was younger that got him into as much trouble as it did gain him a positive reputation.  He spent a lot of time fending off the bullies from the other kids in town.  He didn't like to see guys throw their weight around just because they could so he decided he'd throw his weight around when necessary.<br/>When he was old enough, he made sure he got a fighting Pokemon (Machop was his first choice and they've been so happy together) and went on his way.  Determined to train hard and not let anyone he met and formed a bond with be subject to any harm if he could help it.  He'd always had that 'big brother' type attitude and he didn't mind putting people in their place when they needed it.<br/>Seeing the groups Pokemon interacting a bit, he encouraged Machop to do the same.  Machop gave off a hesitant "hrrrr" and walked over to the two fire Pokemon.  "Graww - Hey guys, what's up?  Our trainers seem like they're going to travel together so I guess that means we'll be doing the same"
