Steven pretty much ignored all of the insults being thrown at him, and continued along to follow Eleyna in the direction she was going, and with his head mostly looking upwards and enjoying the scenery throughout their trip. Maybe he was just a daydreamer after all, only etching X's in the trees he passes by for the sake of... just doing it?<br/><br/>It was sort of tempting for Steven to capture one of the bug Pokemon overhead, but Eleyna was walking a little too fast for him to stop and take the moment to do so. Besides after overhearing the annotation of Eleyna's Pokedex entry it did make him cringe on the sudden dirty thoughts that formed in his mind, wondering if one of the other girls would utilize a caterpie's suction power for their nipples or vagina. Uggh, Steven feels he's seen too much on this adventure.<br/><br/>And that's when they reached the Snorlax. Steven couldn't help but smirk at Scyther's failed attack and Eleyna's overconfidence, which paved the way for a grand lecture.<span style="color: #006666"><b>"Part of being an effective trainer is all about knowing what battles you can fight and can't. The reason I didn't want us fighting the Tauros was because I've actually been to a Tauros fight show once, you know luring them in with a red cape and making them run by you? Those things are fast, reckless, and I'm not confident my Pokemon can even scratch the Tauros nor concentrate on attacks from three different directions at once in order to dodge their charges, and after seeing Scyther's failed attack, I know we couldn't have taken on those Tauros. Then there's the issue with us needing to avoid the Tauros' charges. You were definitely not going to do that in your yukata that's for sure."</b></span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
