"Hurry it up woman! We've got places to be!"

"Don't you start rushing me boy!! You're the one who can't pack his own bag at sixteen!"

"I can too! It's just more organized when you do it.." Dravos rebuked and crossed his arms like a brat. Katherine rolling her eyes as she tossed a bag at him. "There. Happy now?"

"Yes!" He said and grinned. Already rummaging through his bag before he was bonked over the head. "Don't mess it up already!!"

"Fine! What all did you put in here since I can't look?" He asked and gazed up at her.

"Ah you know the essentials... Poke balls, Potions, a few snacks, some new pairs of clothes, your comb..-"

"Did you pack my gels?"

"No! You wouldn't need them anyway."

"But I dooooo!! I need my hair to look right and just brushing through it doesn't help!" He said and looked at his mother with a teary expression. "It frizzes up when that happens and I can't keep it straight! Not to mention it doesn't maintain the smoothness—"

"Alright alright! Quit rambling and grab them...! You're being more whiny than a child not getting a toy..."

'Success as always..!' Dravos thought before getting up and running through the house. Returning with several bottles and cases of assorted sprays and gels. Katherine having a dumbfounded look on her face before she let out a slow breath. Then going over and making him put all of it down while he was working on stuffing it all in his bag. "It's not going to fit Mr. Perfectionist! Pick two things and put it there." She said and pointed to where the bathroom supplies were.

"You're not packing for a trip. It's just a lap around the region and you can get more if you run out..."

"Awww! Fine..." Dravos grumbled as he looked through his many supplies. Soon picking out two of them before putting them in his bag. Looking back before his sweat dropped.

"Hey! Get out of that you two!"

He said and went to grab his stuff from his two partners. Chimchar having a slab of gel in her hand as she was spiking up her hair as she saw her owner doing this morning. Pikachu was putting it on his cheeks since he's gotten into a habit of it. Looking happy with himself as he looked at Dravos. Both giving him a cute expression before he sighed. "Brats.." He said to himself and just went to pat Pikachu's and Chimchar's head. The Chimp Pokémon quickly trying to redoing her hair as she cried out in annoyance.

"You're just being a copycat now aren't ya?" He said with a poker face. Always getting annoyed when his hair is messed up. He especially hates when he gets mud on him or anything like that so he just does not want to see Chimchar mad because of that. For he's seen the power of an angered woman and definitely doesn't want to see it again.

After one final goodbye; Dravos took his leave. Both Pokémon settling themselves on his shoulders like the last time as he walked out of the house. Gazing around with a rather excited expression as he gripped the bag that rested under his Pikachu. Walking up towards route 202 as he had his hands in his pockets. Not even bothering to look around before pausing from a familiar voice yelling at him from afar.

"Dravos!! Dravos wait up!"

'What now...? Oh yea, I'm going with them!' He thought and picked his head up. Looking back towards Dawn before tilting his head some. "Barry didn't come with you?"

"No! He ran off and left me without even bringing his map."

"Wait you guys got maps?"

"Yea... his mom gave them to us... did you not get one from the professor or someone?"

"Uhh..." Dravos scratched his head a bit before shrugging. Waving a hand dismissively as he grinned. "Let's not worry about that! We've got other things to do like figuring out where in Jubilife Barry is.." He said and turned. Walking away again as he glanced back at her, "You coming?"

"Mhm!" Dawn said with a small nod as she briskly walked over to catch up to him.

Walking through route 202 was a breeze. The duo going through together before Dravos came to a stop. Gazing over at a tree as his head tilted some.

"Something wrong...?"

"Yea...." Dravos said in a somewhat quiet tone as he walked off towards the tree. Looking around it before his eyes diverted downward. A little bird Pokémon sitting there with a scared expression across their face. Having a scared expression from the way its eyes looked as it looked at Dravos. Instantly backing up out of instinct as male didn't say a word. "Now who in the world would go beat you up like that, eh?" The brown haired male said as he slowly sat down. Trying not to frighten them even more as Dawn had pulled out her Pokédex.

Nothing was coming up in the dex for it; the screen beginning to glitch out some as the female blinked in confusion. Glancing at the little bird before hearing a small whirling noise. Like the sounds machines would make when they've been powered up. So, out of instinct, she looked up; only to have her eyes widen in fear. "Dravos....." she muttered and quickly went to grab him by the back of his shirt and pull him away from the little bird. "Hey--! I was about to...." The male had also heard the sound. His brows furrowing as he slowly looked up. A horde of Starly were looking foes at them, black eyes glowing furiously as they all were staring the two teens down. 'What's that look for!? Starly's are supposed to be docile..!' Dravos tried to keep his thoughts in line before the horde came swooping down at them. Dawn continuing to stare right at them before getting shoved to the ground.

That being Dravos's doing as he had quickly ducked to avoid the oncoming swarm of sharp beaks and talons. "Alright! I'm gonna finish this quickly!" Dravos shouted as he withdrew a Pokeball. "Pikachu; lets do th--! Hey what the?!" As the male went to release the Pokeball, which his partner was sleeping soundly in; it had been snatched away from him by one of the Starly's. "Give me that back you dumb bird!"

"Dravos! Let's not do something reckless here. I doubt those are even real Pokémon."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I mean -- when I tried to scan the 'injured' one, it wouldn't scan! It just glitched out the screen. So; there's got to be something wrong here."

"Yea... you're definitely right on that. I could've got them down easily and-- hold on! That one should still be on the ground" he said and turned. Only for two other Starly's to be picking it up. "Or not.." he said as he groaned.

Watching the birds go as he was also watching his own partner being taken. "They're heading towards Jubilife."

"Then that's where we go."
