"Wait and Hope"
"..." The young boy rubbed his eyes as he sat up. He wasn't much of a morning person to begin with, and his mind swirled as he wiped the drool from his mouth. His eyes gazed around the forest covered in mist - and instantly, his hand moved to his pocket, patting down the familiar bump of his ghost's miniaturized home.
"-way, we’ll need to make our way back to the main school building by 9AM. That’s when the homeroom class for first years starts, you know. I don’t want to be late on my first day.”
He barely had time to make sense of the girl in black's words, his precocious gaze narrowing as he remembered the drive behind his actions. And naturally, he quickly regained his composure and stood, keeping those burning feelings deep within his chest as he realized that there was more in his pockets than usual. A few packaged fruit rolls, a small case containing some tools, and a compass. Ordinarily, the Pokedex could fill the latter's role. But considering its presence...
Well, it didn't matter. An experience like this would surely bring him one step closer. He checked his pockets again, finding a handwritten note and the pokeballs that had been distributed beforehand. He concentrated on his memories once more... That notable student, with the egg, he had called out to him. And how did he respond? The Kalosian scratched his head as he swallowed down his doubts and began to speak.
"...With the compass at least, we should be able to find our way back. But, moving as a group might be for the best - I'm sure most of us only have a single pokemon with us, yes?" He addressed the girl and the other boy who had woken, not quite sure if the others had been roused from their sleep. The boy decided that being dropped in the wilderness like this would also be an opportunity to bolster his team. With his hand moving to Rictus's pokeball in his pocket, he decided to head northwards. The compass only helped orient their directions, he'd still need to find a suitable landmark to get back to the dorms - hopefully what he saw during the orientation tour would reappear at an opportune time.
