In Nâs travels he actually found a curiosity to visit Hoenn. He had actually made plans to make a stop at the battle Maison since it was an esteemed vacation area for trainers. It was very well renown even in Unova. He figured after all the tireless searching his pokemon needed a break anyhow. A chance to do more than what they had been for the couple months.Â
After getting them excited and hyping them up he made way for the Hoenn region. It would prove to be a long trip but he was more than ready to take some time to actually relax for a change. Hopefully his mind could wander and become at ease on his task at hand, at least⊠he hoped.Â
Upon arrival at Slateport city he was quick to pick up a map, It gave a small description of every town next to their names. Fortree city caught his eyes since well âA city where the houses are all built into treesâ He could go there and go straight to the Maison afterward so why not. The region wasnt that large anyway, at least not the land area.
It took him a while to get there by flying, especially since he wasnt familiar with the area, but he knew it when he saw it and landed immediately.Â
âWow.. this sure is different.â He said with a light smile
This definitely isnt anything like in unova, unova was a mostly town filled region, big buildings and large residential areas. This was just a small town that was connected by treehouses and bridges that connected those. Seemed like a nice little community with a gym in the middle. Something about it was just.. charming.
 He decided to take a look in the nearby shop, maybe pick up a souvenir or two before checking out the gym.
When he entered he greeted the clerk with a smile and said he would be quick.
He scanned up and down the few aisles until he came across a young lime haired individual, with what looked like a nasty bruise going up the side of his face. Despite looking so concentrated on what he was looking for he decided to try to strike up conversation instead of bumping past into him to scan the same area heâs looking at.
âYou need any help finding anything in particular friend? I can help if you want?â
Despite the covering of trees in Fortree, the air was particularly soggy. Wally didnât know why, or why no one else seemed to be affected by it. Really, it felt like he was swimming, or breathing gelatin. That, mixed in with the occasional but sudden breezes of hot air thatâd flow in, made it pretty difficult to be in. Not like he wasnât already hot as it was. However, taking off his cardigan made him feel...unsafe. Wally failed to pin why exactly that was happening.
When he got bored of sitting on one of the wooden platforms cast up into the forest, the Trainer got up. There were only so many clouds he could observe and thoughts he could think before it started to drive him honestly nuts. Another thing he couldnât quite pinpoint, after all that was rather uncharacteristic to begin with.Â
It was too hot, he concluded.
It was making him lose it.
With that came the obvious realization--he had to ditch the cardigan. But even that wouldnât really be enough, he probably needed a different shirt. The long-sleeved dress one he always wore wasnât helping him today, and at this rate it would just get ruined. That said, he knew what to do, Fortree was known for being one of the only Hoenn towns with a gift shop and if he remembered correctly...it was right behind him.
A little more than naturally, however...Wally got hung up in the middle of his sacred task. The secret base furniture. He hadnât been to his in quite a while--but he remembered choosing it for the coolness of the tree it was within and the scent of sea-salt that would always blow in. But that was neither here nor there..it was between those two cushions, really, Skitty, or Swablu?
Ohhh, he liked bot--â...help..?â
He turned suddenly, eyeing the other boy. â...I-I mean..maybe. These, cushions, are really cute!!â
