Among everything that has been happening, Steven paid no mind to the others, after everyone began to settle down from their hike to who knows where next, Steven lied down on the ground and just stared at sky, placing his hands behind his head for comfort. With a thoughtful expression on his face, Steven silently reflected on his defeat earlier.<br/><br/>Eleyna and Jake's training seemed quite lively. Though he couldn't see much, the shine from Saur's solar beam did glow brightly enough to be caught in the corner of his vision. And then there was Growlithe's flamethrower, and Scyhter's buzzing as he dodged the attacks, yet Steven didn't seem phased by any of it though. He was more relieved than anything, yet couldn't really figure out why. Normally he'd jump at the opportunity to train with the others but he knows his Pokemon need a well deserved rest.<br/><br/>Steven finally got up from the ground to address Naomi's concerns, stretching his arms high in the air as he walked over to her.<span style="color: #006666"><b>"Well, hnngh, that's the reason we're even exploring this island to begin with. to be hyped up about making ourselves the greatest Pokemon trainers around, and these challenges to catch the biggest and the best, that's the mindset of a lot of other trainers on this island." </b><span style="color: #808080">Steven recalled his experience back in town, how everyone just seemed so fired up about then next battles and winning, and he felt no different during his battle.</span><b> "This island will become that dull civilization you worry about one way or another Naomi."</b></span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
