Judging by the frantic stomping on the deck, it would appear that Naomi and Lydia are hiding somewhere, and out of Steven's view. He would peek up to confirm this and began to rev up the boat's engine once more. The boat was ready to sail once more, but then Steven overhears Eleyna yelling at him.<span style="color: Blue">"Hey, you! I'm going on ahead! If you're a real trainer, then get on this thing and let's go find some damn Pokemon!"</span>Was that a challenge? And more importantly, was it a challenge against his trainer skills? He tried to say something about how he was ready to drive again or how someone else was going to need to drive the boat in his absence, but the recent events made him stammer and stutter to the point he just shook his head and call out Pancham onto the Tentacruel to let Eleyna know he has accepted her challenge, before leaping on himself.<br/><br/>Flustered and breathy about everything that has happened. Steven shot one serious look to Eleyna and said to her somewhat menacingly<span style="color: Teal">"I'll take you on in your challenge."</span>After that, he kept his eyes forward for wherever Eleyna was going to bring them. What a grand way to start out a brand new day for adventure. Leaving others behind in the middle of nowhere to settle one silly contest. Also, although he would never admit it, he did manage to get a shot of Lydia's and Naomi's exposed bodies and would have trouble forgetting about them. Also, would Tentacruel be able to hold the weight of two trainers and one Pancham without sinking prematurely? That concerned weighed on Steven for a short bit before they rode off.<br/><br/><span style="color: Teal"><b>"Jake, Aisha! I'm leaving the boat to you two, I'm sure you can figure it out!"</b></span>Steven would call back before he and Eleyna went off on their own into the open waters.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
