After a morning feast consisting mostly of free bread offered by the hotel, as well as some kibble-like food for their Pokemon, Takeo and Ken exited the hotel entirely. Chopper and Maggie remained outside of their Pokeballs, the former walking alongside the team while the latter was carried in Takeo's arms. The amount of people out and about that day was pretty incredible, and folks were socializing with each other in droves. It looked like it was gonna be a darn good day, at least from Ken's perspective. People to meet, places to see, battles to win, all that and more was well within reach. All they had to do was get in the lab on their appointed time, get registered, and get moving. Ken couldn't help but smile brightly as he thought about it. "You and me, buddy. We're gonna be masters one day, I can feel it."<br/><br/>Takeo appreciated the little bit of encouragement, responding with a nod and a distinctly happy-sounding "Yeah," though delivered in his typically quiet tone of voice. He sure hoped they would. But still, even if they weren't destined for greatness like Ken was utterly convinced they were, he would enjoy himself on the journey all the same. Getting out of the house was good for him, and a Pokemon training adventure was a pretty good way to get out into the world. While he thought about it, he lightly scratched under Maggie's chin, and she wriggled a bit to lean closer into his hand.<br/><br/>As they hit the lab, Ken checked the Pokegear strapped to his wrist to look at the time. "Eh, we got a little bit of a wait. Not too bad, though. Make yourself comfy til then." He looked for a bench that wasn't too full yet, and sat on one semi-occupied by another trainer and his Rufflet. They didn't look like Kanto natives, which was immediately interesting enough to get his attention. "Yo," He greeted with a quick, loose salute of the hand. "You guys new to Kanto?" While he spoke with Ryan, Takeo set Maggie down to climb onto the bench next to Ken. Maggie then splashed her way off the ground and landed squarely in his lap, where she awaited and was given more attention.
