"Well... I...um... just forget it. We shouldn't be talking about this. We should... set up camp. Yes! That's what we should do!" Sorence quickly walked over to the right of the fork as Derek rode over to it. He looked up at the crimson sky. The sun was floating down like a Jumppluf in the wind. It shimmered as it crossed over the tops of the trees. He saw dozens of wild Pokemon that ran through the brush and through the tops of the trees. He smiled as they found their homes in trees and in the leaf covered ground.

He looked over to Derek, whose face was still plastered with curiosity. He sighed and decided to be up front with him. If he was travelling with him, he might as well tell the truth. "Derek, what I was saying earlier was about nicknames and helping me come up with them. I then brushed the idea aside, because, well, I don't like having help where it isn't needed. But I would love if you helped me come up with names." Sorence said with an awkward smile. It was probably one of the oddest questions he could have asked anyone, but he wanted his two Pokemon to be more connected to him, and nicknames could help.

"Oh this looks like a good spot." Sorence said, motioning over towards a little edge in the road. It was open with short grass inside it. It was surrounded by towering trees. They had many holes scattered across their trunks, probably containing Pokemon. Sorence plopped down near one tree. He ran his hand through the grass and looked up at Derek. "What do you think of this spot? We are still a bit far from the dock and it is getting dark. I think sleep and rest would do us good seeing how we worked our Pokemon hard today."
