Ryan looked up, seeing a boy around his age and a younger one sitting down next to him. The older one sent him a greeting, then asked if Ryan was new to Kanto.<span style="font-style: italic">"They're friendly in this town, aren't they?"</span>Ryan though to himself, before nodding and answering. "Naw, been living here for five years, over in Fuchsia." He answered, petting Washi as the bird gave a cry of greeting to the two pokemon that followed the two boys. "I am from Unova, though, so I don't blame you for asking. Name's Ryan, nice to meet you. I take it you're Kanto natives?" He asked, Washi jumping out of his hands to walk over to Chopper, looking the fighting-type over. He let out a squawk of approval after a few seconds, and begun to do some gestures with his wings indicating he wanted to play with the fighting type.<br/><br/>Ryan smiled as he watched the Pokemon interact, looking around to see what other Pokemon might be around. There were a number of interesting things around, a Houndour catching his eye. There were mostly first or single stage pokemon, as expected, but Ryan couldn't help but wonder about the people with already evolved Pokemon. Were they gifts, people training before they were licensed...people just getting way luckier than most others? He supposed it didn't matter, but it was curious to him. Granted, some people didn't get any Pokemon until the day they became trainers, so he guessed<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>was probably curious to them! Not everybody decided to take a pet and go train with it, after all.<br/><br/>Before he could do anything else, a girl suddenly came up to them, introducing herself and asking their names. He looked over the girl, then leaned over to Ken, whispering something into his ears. "Hey, does Kanto have a hobo problem or something?" He asked, cupping his mouth so the girl, Draco she said she was called, couldn't hear him. He turned his attention back to her, frowning. "I'm Ryan. Do you need any help? Do your parents known that you're here?" He asked her, knowing something was up.
