The two trainers let their pokemon out to walk around with them. Whitlea ran up front a few feet ahead of Blair. The boy shoved his hands into his pockets and walked on patently behind next to Tepig. He looked down at him and smiled, "So, how are you liking this? Having a partner to take care of you, eh? It'll be lots of fun trust me, especially with Whitlea tagging along. She's like a ball of energy. Then you have your other two friends from the lab. You can believe me, this will be great, I promise." he said closing his eyes for the briefest of moments, then looked up at the sky. He took in a deep breath and looked around for his friend, "White?" he called out once waiting for the girls voice to fill the air and reassure him. Nothing returned the echo of his call, "White!" He yelled once more in a slightly panicked tone.

"Over here!" She called back standing in front of a cross road, "we'll go this way." she said pointing to the path on the right. Blair noticed that the path she was pointing to was a longer way to get to their first gym battle the left path was a direct way to get to the town, but he nodded, knowing if he proved her wrong she wouldn't go with him, and he didn't want to be alone, but mostly he wanted to be with her, not just anyone. Whitlea had already started running down the path, "Come on slowpoke!" she yelled. He ran faster to catch up with her, but the pair had collided with another, "I'm so sorry." She said rubbing her head and helping up the boy she had collided with.

"Yeah me too.. Sorry.." He said helping up the girl.

"It's okay not a problem, why are you guys going this way? Aren't you trying to get to Striaton City?" The boy asked pushing up his glasses looking at While. Her cheeks drew a red colour as she nodded her head. Blair glared at the boy he didn't like how he was talking to her.

"Come on White, we'll go this way." He said dragging her along.

She tried to stand her ground, "Wait, why don't we go with them, well, since they're going that way too." she said blushing slightly pushing her hair behind her ears smiling at the ground.

"Sounds good!" the blond girl said walking beside her friend, "The names Bianca and that's Cheren." she said smiling looking at her one pokeball.

"I'm Blair, and this is my friend Whitlea, or Black and White for short. Sometimes it's easier." He said talking with Bianca, " You're pretty cool you know, I think we'll be good friends, how'd you and that- Cheren meet?" he asked her.

"Well, we're from Undrella town and we started our journey together you know?" she said shrinking the pokeball in her hand, "What about you and Whitlea?" she asked.

"Well, we've really been friends since birth and she always climbed the tree in front of my room window. She'd always tell me how much fun she's had with me and sometimes she would come to me crying, telling me what her dad did to her. I never knew what to do, we never told anyone she would just be over at my house everyday and I've liked- known her ever since..." He finished.

"Wow... I would've never guessed, she always seems so happy and cheerful.." Bianca stated.

"Well, the people who laugh the most have been hurt the worst, she always tries to hide every emotion. That's why I don't trust men around her, I don't want them taking advantage of her.." He said quietly.

"So you have your own feelings for her?" she asked.

Blair looked over at the brunette walking quite fast smiling big at him with her pokemon at her side, " I guess you could say that, Yes." He stated, "I have for a really long time." he added.

By the time the Sky grew dark the four trainers had already built their tents, boys stayed with boys girls stayed with girls is what they'd decided. They had already eaten the food they had packed and their pokemon had already fell fast asleep along with the two girls. Cheren had already fallen asleep but Blair stayed awake keeping an eye on his tent mate the rest of the nigh.
