<span style="color: Teal"><b>"Train rides, no matter how far they go, they always seem so long and boring."</b></span>That's usually how Steven felt when he's traveling long distances where you can't do anything but sit in a box. The sparkling ocean was a nice view to look at on the sunny days of the train ride, but even then that will get dull eventually.<br/><br/>With the train ride being relatively quiet, Steven was able to sit comfortably in his seat and catch a nice sleep for a good amount of the ride to the Yugen Islands. It has been a long time since he's been out on a Pokemon Adventure, and being awake was only going to make him worry about the little Junior (his Tyrogue) he had sworn to protect when his egg first arrived at his doorstep. The Wailord sighting rose the commotion around the train, causing just about everyone to get a view of it, point it out, maybe attempt a few camera snapshots here and there. Steven himself woke up during this time to catch a glimpse of the Wailord as its tail sunk back into the ocean. He smiled, and nodded his head a little bit in the little excitement he was going to receive on that train ride, so he relished what he could from the magnificent view.<br/><br/>*Ding*<span style="color: Teal">"Please remember to check your baggage for any missing items before departing,"</span>said the voice coming from the speakers above them. Steven grabbed his duffel bag from the overhead compartment to make sure everything he brought with him was still there. Survival aid, such as food, bandages, and other medical supplies. An extra set of clothes, and a lot of potions.<br/><br/>And that's when the Train Attendant passed through to make sure those with a round trip ticket got their second punch. Steven had originally purchased this ticket in case he ever wanted to head back home to Saffron City of the Kanto region, although who knows, it may expire by the time he's done with his journey here.<br/><br/>*Ding*<span style="color: Teal">"Welcome to Minami Island of the Yugen Region, enjoy your stay."</span>Shortly after that message was announced, he caught a glimpse of the bubbly girl who kept bouncing up and down in her seat the moment the islands came into view. It was rather humorous and he couldn't help but to chuckle at the situation. He especially felt sorry for the guy who had to sit next to the seemingly immature child and get squished around by her, but that's pretty much to be expected from anybody on a Pokemon Adventure.<br/><br/>Steven stretched himself out in his seat and made sure everyone else got out before he did. The sun was really strong on his eyes when he got out, he even stood there tightly covering his eyes with both of his hands until they could adapt to the intensity they were feeling. Being one of the last people to sit and wait their turn to get out onto the station platform, the space was open enough so that little Pokemon wouldn't be so easily stepped on as people walked around. He reached for his Pokeball that he kept hooked on to the strap of his duffel bag, and brought out his Tyrogue.<br/><br/>The Tyrogue looked around curiously with his finger against his lip like a child. After all, he was still a newborn. He and Steven even held hands as they walked down the streets of Saisho. The first thing they needed was a place to stay but... how many inns were there exactly?! It will take them quite a bit before they decided on which inn to stay in.<br/><br/>However, all plans to find a place to sleep in were interrupted when the Tyrogue tugged on his trainer's arm and pointed out another big Pokemon Battle taking place nearby them. Apparently he wanted to go watch, and so Steven carried him up on his head so that he could get a better view of the fight among all of the spectators, who were just that much taller than him. While the Tyrogue smiled and cheered on the team battle going on, Steven observed in deep thought, rubbing his chin and thinking about who would be the victor of this particular match between a Machoke and a Polywrath verses a Gyrados and an Onix. This particular battle, however wasn't that much further from the single battle between the Arcanine and Rampardos.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
