Hideyoshi squirms a bit as Grayson noticed him, and like before was shocked in to being tossed on to the man's shoulder. What was he going to do this time? Give him another spanking? He was not looking forward to that. Even his mother didn't do this sort of thing to him. Maybe she should have, and he wouldn't always go off disobeying his elders, but a loss was a loss. Grayson carried him in to the Pokémon center, much to the surprise of the Nurse Joy at the counter. Torchic frantically tried to follow after, but was prevented to when the door was shut before it could get in, and so it scurried back and forth in front of the closed door, making noises of anxiousness, trying to get to Yoshi. She watches with wide eyes as he was brought in to the bathroom, and as he'd suspected, given a swift and thorough spanking, this time bare bottom. His cheeks were no doubt as red as his behind, and though tears stung at the corners of his eyes, he refused to let Grayson see them. He might be a kid, but he wasn't a crybaby! When the belt was brought to his butt, he yelps out in pain, but grits his teeth right after. Standing up, he glares at Grayson through narrowed eyes, not saying anything, only nodding silently when Grayson said that for the night he could stay with him, but in the morning he'd better be gone. And after this...Hideyoshi doubted he'd be trailing after that guy any longer.<br/><br/>By the next morning he was awake super early, even before Grayson, and had slipped away, long gone from Verdanturf, and headed towards Lavaridge. He wanted to be taught still, but was now caught in between what just happened, and what he desired. Shooting straight through Route 117 and up through Mauville, it didn't take him long to get through Route 111, to Route 112, where he knew he could find a path up to Lavaridge. Though he was sure he'd have to pass through Jagged Pass. As he walked, he thought things over, for now...he'd focus on getting his fourth badge. Then maybe if he was feeling up to it...he'd try to find Grayson again.
