So with a quick flourish he swept up Professor Pine's hand and placed a tiny kiss on the back of it, "Thank you for everything la madame, we shall procure your treasures in due time, until then, adieu..."<br/><br/>And without a further word the boy turned and dashed out the lab, his bubbly butt wiggling enticingly in his shorts as he did, making his departure a pleasant spectacle in of itself. Once again he was greeted by the bright sun and fresh, lightly salted air of the port city, the boy making his way out of the lab with no real idea where he was going (Carter was supposed to be his navigator after all). Fortunately he didn't get far before something made him stop dead in his tracks, "huh? Le gasp!" he exclaimed, freezing on the spot as he saw a pudgy round spheal (https://i.imgur.com/XLTBF9w.png) waddling it's way across the ground, seemingly having gotten a small ways from the shore. As the boy froze and gasped the seal-like pokemon slowly turned to look up at the trainer, and all at once their eyes locked. Nao's rosy orbs connected with the adorably daft gaze of the spheal, "spheal?" it muttered, tilting it's head inquisitively, which was to say it titled its entire body.<br/><br/>Suddenly Nao felt something surge and bubble up inside him, causing him to shiver and tremble as it washed over him, threatening to explode from every pore in his body until it just...couldn't...be...contained, "d'aaaaaaaaaw! You're so cuuuuuuuute!" the androgynous boy squealed, like a little girl encountering the cutest damn growlithe she had ever seen. Immediately he knew, it was meant to be, this was his newest partner. Fate had drawn them together, and it seemed that the spheal felt it too. Suddenly the two began running towards each other, Nao squealing with arms outstretched, ecstatic tears welling up in his eyes, the spheal bouncing with each tread like a beach ball, "spheal! spheal!" "that's right come to papa!" Nao cooed.<br/><br/>However, as the two dramatically leapt at each other, seemingly about to embrace and spin around in each others' arms, the spheal suddenly tucked in it's chin, two little angry brows appearing over it's eyes "SPHEAL!!!" it roared, and caught Nao with a headbutt to the face so flush that it sent the boy flying backing, tumbling across the ground like a pebble, "Urk!..." the boy grunted as he hit the ground hard, sprawled out in a stunned state, "b-but...why...?" Nao sputtered, the little ball of fur striking a defiant pose "Spheal spheal spheal!" it exclaimed, seemingly ready for a fight.
