Teresa gives a blank look at the compliment, mostly still trying to process someone complimenting her style. Sure, her looks had been complimented before, but something she herself specifically chose? Most people don't comment on it, and those who do...tend to be harsh on their analysis of her choices. It was...shocking...pleasant? Teresa couldn't really process what she was feeling right now. It was a bit much for her, the stimulus being quite unexpected didn't help her situation one bit.
To sum up what happened, She seemed shocked, then she blushed red, her eyes went wide, and she squeaked out a "Thank you..." that was almost inaudible as she turned away from the group. She also gave out a cough that was much more audible as she tried to catch hold of the turmoil going through her head. She gave a deep breath, two, now three, and calm was achieved. Now back to her cool facade, she turned back to the group...a bit unaware of the social faux pas she just performed.

Nero tosses his bag down on the floor and looks around the room, letting out a loud whistle. He got his own room? Niiiiiiiiiiice. He strips down and tosses his favorite, ruined sweater into the trash with a forlorn glance. He digs around in his bag for a while, lightly touching his armor, considering wearing it, before deciding that they really couldn't run into that much more trouble in a single day. That decided, he changes into a solid, moss green colored t-shirt, and tosses a halfway zipped up grey windbreaker on top of it, throwing on black athletic pants and bright red running shoes to complete his sporty look. He straps on his shield and sword and glances in the mirror, tussling his hair to keep it perfectly messy, then heads back out to the common area. Nero pulls out his pokedex as he walks, fiddling with it as he adds Rhea's number to it, then sends her a text. "Hey sis. You might end up hearing on the news that there was a terrorist attack on the Aquacorde League Building. To stop you from worrying in advance like I know you would, I'm fine. Yes I was in the building when it happened, but we helped fight them off. They were kinda pushovers, really. You can tell dad, but let's not bother mom with it unless she asks."
Also, I expect a call from you sometime, I'm free for the rest of the day so call whenever. By this point, he had made his way back to the group, and looks up from his dex with a smile. "Alright, I'm all set to go when you guys are."

The three teammates collectively are a little taken aback at Teresa's reaction. Aisha in particular was about to speak up when Teresa turned away, her expression clearly wondering whether she had said something wrong, but she relents as Teresa turns back, choosing not to question it.
The trio of Trainers look at each other after Eliza's summation of their personalities, and then look back at her. Amazement is clearly visible in their expressions and Mei even claps a little, nodding as she does so. "You're spot on Eliza," Aisha said grinning. Troy spoke up too, "Those are some serious deductive skills you've got there!" He paused, then grinned. "Nice light show as well." Mei just gave a thumbs up with a small smile, indicating her approval.
As Nero returns, Aisha grins at him. "Looking good, Nero," she said. Her grin turns a little mischievous. "I think I liked the wild look you had going with those torn up clothes better though." Her smile returns to normal, as she nods at her teammates, who nod back. "We're ready to go now. Let's turn Route 2 upside down!"
With that, you head out of the kitchen, and the trio follow. After some talking amongst yourselves, you decide to take the scenic route and walk to Route 2 from the central plaza. This of course takes several hours, but you use those for idle chatter, sightseeing and a trip to the Aquacorde Pokemon Center, which luckily was on the way to the outskirts from the center of the city. In the Pokemon Center you find out that the first healing session is actually free for new Trainers, something Zayna must have either forgotten about, or forgot to mention. Due to the wonders of medical technology, a session is very short and you and your Pokemon are hale and hearty in no time. You proceed to head to Route 2 at a good pace and a few hours later you find yourself beyond the city's limits.
There is an instant contrast to the city behind you as you take in the scenery. You are surrounded by wide fields of lush tall grass, and one of the rivers that surround and cut through Aquacorde is right there to your far left. To your far right, the area turns into a number of small but steep hills, each covered with short grass, tall grass, bushes and some trees. As you breathe in, you smell the fragrance of nature, fresh and yet earthy. In the distance, you can see the mighty trees of Santalune Forest. Closer to where you are, you can already see things shifting in the grass.
Aisha turns to you. "I guess we'll split up here? Do you have any preference for where you want to search for Pokemon? If we split this Route into four sectors according to the cardinal directions, the two western sectors have the most Water-types, the two northern sectors have some forest Pokemon, the eastern sectors have grassland Pokemon and the south ones I believe are a mix of urban and grassland Pokemon. I would recommend sticking to south east or south west, takes less time to get back to Aquacorde that way."

"Eh, it's really not that big of a deal," Eliza says, sheepishly, "You just start to notice patterns in how people choose to reflect how they are." She does feel a sense of pride, though, that she was able to get it right.
She's a little - okay, more than a little - nervous at striking out almost immediately for the wild routes, but having Rainbow healed at the Center boosts that a little bit. Maybe this all will end up being different. She can do this.
"I very much plan to stick close to the city, yes," Eliza says, nodding. "Just in case something happens. Hopefully things go better than last time," she says, chuckling, "But, in the off chance that we end up getting mauled by something, then I'd like to at least be close to civilization. It is nice out here, though."

Teresa gives a shrug on the opinion of which of the sectors they go to. Urban Pokemon were way more malleable to her ends, so staying in the section with mostly those would be fine for her. "I'm fine with this, Maybe we'll find another Eevee?"
As far as Teresa's knowledge on Pokemon took her, that was the only urban Pokemon on their team, so that would be the most likely repeat on there list. Not that that would even be a bad thing, Teresa could use it to produce more Eevee, nothing would go wrong if she started breeding armies of Eevee....nothing whatsoever.
"And like Eliza said, being nearest to the city means nearest to medical attention and assistance. It is by far the safest bet"

Nero chuckles lightly at Aisha's comment, then fires back a lighthearted comment of his own. "Well, if we get into any serious fights out there, I'll probably be jumping into the fray, that rough look might be coming back sooner than you think!"
As they get out of town and onto the route proper, Nero has a smile plastered on his face, just enjoying the pleasant day, occasionally stopping for a moment to close his eyes and soak up the sun.
As Teresa and Eliza talk about sticking close to town, Nero frowns slightly, mildly disappointed. "Well, urban pokemon aren't really my thing, seen enough of them to last I lifetime, so I'd honestly prefer to get a little farther away from town. I'm definitely not going to force it though, but if any of you guys want to split off and head further north," he looks to the other three members of their impromptu little band, "I'm down."
