Kai blinks as the plants seem to ignore him, that was a bit rude... Maybe they just needed a prod to actually start interacting. With that in mind he reached out and poked one of the ones sitting on the ground, it would be a bit of effort to poke the floating one. "Uh, Hey there! Sorry to interrupt your sun bath, was just wondering if you guys knew I was here talking to you...?"

The plants continue to ignore Kai... until he moves and casts a shadow over them. That gets their attention, and the two that it happened to look up and begin to chatter at him irately. It seems they're not too pleased about Kai throwing shade around. But, at least they're more animated now.
As for the Nidoran, it cocks its head at Theo, before looking back and forth between him and the other lizarabbit. It seems to be a little intrigued, but also both suspicious and worried. Or maybe that's just Theo's imagination, it's a little hard to read its face.

Kai chuckles nervously to himself as he moves a bit to the side so they can have their sunlight, moving to sit beside the one he had poked. He reached out again to see if it would be fine with him trying to pet it, unsure how much it would like or hate it, but hey, might as well, right?
"So... do you guys like eating or do you just like the warmth? I can't blame you for either honestly... I really like the heat, though people tell me that my love might be a bit....extreme"

"Yer lady friend can come too if'n she likes I guess. Wouldn't be right of me to separate the two of yous." Theodore scratched the back of his head awkwardly. It wasn't his first choice, but he wasn't the type to impose on gentlefolk minding their own business.

The plants seem to calm down when Kai lets them have their light back, but they're clearly more alert than they were before. One plant hops away from him trying to touch it, but the other lets him rustle its leaves. They seem to be making noises, but what those mean as an answer to his question... he has no idea. It seems to maybe be more conversational than irritated now, though.
The lizardrabbits both turn their heads in the same way to look at Theo now. They chitter, and look to be talking amongst themselves. The pink one sounds more enthusiastic, while the other one keeps looking back to the grass and flowers that it had been nibbling on before they were interrupted. She looks up to Theo as though asking him to convince her.

"Ah hold up there, I'll find ya somethin a bit better fer interruptin' your day." Theodore stopped bending down to address the rabbits and considered the terrain for a moment, wandering off to scour for some sweetgrass or even berries were they present on the route, returning with his findings to offer to the pair.

"Yeah, the sun's really nice, right? I know I love feeling it on me as I travel around." Kai continues to rustle it's leaves, happy that at least one of them liked him. Now, he just had to figure out if they were adventurous or not. "How about you guys? Any of you wanna travel on the open road and find out what all is out there? Cause I can certainly say it's fun so far, and making friends is the best part!"Kai's eyes try and follow what the Odd plant was doing, trying to make sure he understood what the little guy was trying to say, or at least the intent of it....

Theo moves along the road, not straying too far, but manages to find a patch of wildflowers that he knows has a rather honey-like taste. There's not too many of them, but enough for a snack for a pair of Pokémon. The lizarabbits are in the same spot when he gets back, and they seem more than happy to accept the offering. ...including looking up at him to see if he has more, sniffing around.
Kai isn't able to pickup what the thing's saying, but by the way that the plant hops up, it seems to be more-or-less willing. Maybe. It doesn't move away from him, at least, unlike the way the other one had.

"Sorry fellers, there isn't too much more like that right around here." He gingerly reaches down to give each Pokemon's ears a little stroke, one of the few patches lacking spikes. "Was nice meeting the both of you, can't bring myself to come 'tween you though. Hope you grow up being the kind of Pokemon you want to be." Theodore stood upright and dusted off his jacket, giving the pair a fond smile.

Kai was a little confused, but it seemed willing so he reached into his pocket and brought out an empty ball and held it out to the little plant. He gave it a smile, more like a grin before he started talking. "Well, you can come along with me if you want! I'm going to be traveling quite a bit with my crew here and I'm sure we would have lots of fun on the road!"

The Nidos look sad at the fact that there's no more, but seem to understand. They don't even move to jab Theo with their spines when he goes in for a rubbing, before going back to their munching on grass. The plant seems to consider the offer for a few moments before bobbing its head (body?) in a nod, and pressing against the ball. It shakes a few times, before clicking shut. You caught an Oddish!

Kai grins brightly as he jumps up with his newly caught friend, turning back to Cole and waving at him as he runs over. He held out the ball, releasing the Oddish from it's new container and presenting it in front of Cole. "Meet my newest friend! Isn't he a cute one?" Kai reaches down and pets it on the leaves, thinking that it seemed to like that earlier.
"I'm gonna call him... Wela! What do ya think?" Kai looks expectantly at Cole, thinking the name sounded pretty good, plus it kind of reminded him of home...

Cole blinked for a moment, surprised at how easy that was for Kai. Maybe he would have to try something like that next time they came across any wild Pokemon, hopefully one that was a little less flammable.
He looked a little closer at the Pokemon before nodding and giving Kai a thumbs up "Looks nice!" He pretended to have any sort of idea what Wela meant and smiled at his companion "The name sounds nice and strong too!"
Turning towards Theodore, Cole raised an eyebrow "Even after you gave them flowers you didn't wanna take either one of them with you?"

"Nah, they've got each other, they don't need me." He gives Cole a goofy grin. "My adventure'd just get in their way of bein' together, so they had a snack and we had a talk, and I can go back to the lonely road. Cept with you two." He chuckled. "C'mon, let's mosey."

The group continues on their merry way, slightly larger with the addition of the Oddish, until reaching a place along the path to camp for the night. They're undisturbed by Pokémon as the evening once more progresses to morning, though there are sounds and rustles of wild 'mon in the woods throughout.
The light brings with it opportunities for training (and eating) before heading back on the road, and it's not too long from the camp until Oldale is in sight. It's larger than Littleroot, but still has the fairly small 'homely' feel to it. The group is able to enter and get to the Pokémon Center before noon, leaving them plenty of time left in the day to do things in or out of town, even after their Pokémon are healed.

Kai was really excited to get started training with his Pokemon, and gladly took the chance to do so after they woke up that morning. He was pretty excited when they set out and now that they had arrived and visited the center he was still feeling a bit antsy. He really needed something to do before he died of boredom... "Okay, what are we doing guys, cause if we aren't doing stuff I'm probably gonna check the route... West? That's the dead end one, right?" Kai had been walking around the center, probably annoying some people as his footsteps sounded throughout the Pokemon Center. He scratched the back of his neck as he thought about which route was the right one. Drain 1 AP for Ace Trainer Keahi - SP ATK Lina - SP ATK Wela - SP ATK

Cole sighed in relief upon sighting the Pokemon Center, not feeling quite as helpless once he got Habenero fixed up and ready to go. While part of him wanted to go and do some quick shopping, getting the ingredients he wanted in order to make something that would really get their Pokemon fired up, another part wanted to go catch a Pokemon, so that he wouldn't feel so useless if Hab went down once again.
He watched Kai pace for a minute before the boy spoke up and Cole quickly shook his head "West takes us to Petalburg. North is the Ocean or whatever" Cole wasn't really sure if it was part of the ocean or a lake, but he knew it was a lot of water "But I don't think you should go up there alone. We probably have enough time to look up there, and then still make it to Petalburg in time to fight the gym before we battle the girls again. What do you say T?" He asks looking at their final companion

"We got three days till we gotta meat the girls in Petalburg, may as well explore a bit." Theodore answered, gesturing vaguely north. "Sides, not like I got anywheres else to be." He did admittedly like the aesthetic of Oldale, though their stop began with a tumble in the center and an embarrassing conversation with the local nurse that he was in fact fine.
Theodore meanders the shops for a bit, then heads to the side route to explore with the others.

The route up north from Oldale is a little cooler than the one that they were last on, and it's not hard to see why, as it soon runs adjacent to a large channel, the cries of seabirds filling the air. Waaaaaaaaay on the other side, is a glimpse of land and trees, and presumably, somewhere beyond them, the city of Mauville.
There're more interesting things happening on this side, though, as the noises of seabirds start to resolve in something more aggressive. Ahead, on the side of the trail not next to the water, are two red multi-tailed foxes, being beset upon and teased by a group of blue spindly seagulls. There's a brighter red dog standing around the two cowering foxes, apparently - and futilely - trying to scare the birds away. It doesn't seeming to be working, the gulls just flying out of reach and seeming to giggle as they do so.

Kai's eyes light up as he spies the foxes, though a frown pops up as he sees the seagulls harassing them. That certainly wasn't nice, but at least the foxes seemed to have a protector in the shape of the dog. Kai glared up at the birds, briefly considering throwing something at them to get them to knock it off. Not really thinking it was that good of an idea, it might just be better to shoo them away.
Kai began marching up to the group of Pokemon, waving his arms at the Wingull as he finally got close. "Hey! Why don't you leave these guys alone, they didn't do anything to you!" Kai decided to ignore the fact he didn't know that for sure, but he didn't like bullying either way.
