Reaching the tunnels after a short while, Yoshi eyes the entrance with uncertainty. He wondered if Grayson was actually in Verdanturf, not to mention what the older man would do if he found out that even after all the warnings and spanking, Yoshi still was following and trailing after him. But he had to risk it, he wanted to know the secrets on how to get strong, and what better way to do that than to ask a strong person? Right? So, taking a deep breath, Yoshi, along with Torchic, step in to the dank darkness of the Rusturf tunnels. Right away, he pulls out his Ralts, a rare one that was supposedly called a "shiny". "Okay Ralts, use Flash!" Doing as it was told, the darkness around them light up, so he could see where he was going. It still was gloomy and rather creepy, and awfully quiet, putting Yoshi on edge. Torchic perched on his shoulder, cuddled to his cheek to comfort him, and Ralts was being held in his arms.<br/><br/>He carefully made his way through the cave, and after much work and a lot of forcing himself to stay where he was, he finally made it through to the other side, and in to Verdanturf. It was a quaint little village or town or whatever they called it, the air was fresh and clean, cooling and a relief from being in the tunnels so long. It was now completely dark outside, and he knew he would have to find a place to sleep, probably he'd end up setting up camp nearby. He was just passing the Pokémon Center when his target steps out of the neighboring Pokémart, apparently he had to buy some things. Just seeing him made his ears burn, remembering the spabkin he'd received a day ago in Meteor falls. He was glad to find the guy, but it definitely wasn't a good time to mess with him. Yoshi thought itigjt be better to just try and slip away for now, and turns in the other direction, hoping Grayson hadn't spotted him yet.
