"Hey, I'm surprised that big old bag hasn't knocked you over by now!"

He jokes as you struggle down the stairs, then flop down on the bottom one.

Oh yeah?

Hop lets out a shocked yelp as you knock out his legs from under him using your foot. You laugh, and he stares at you in mock anger.

Even if he is actually angry, he wasn't able to keep up the act, and he starts laughing too, leaving you both paralyzed by laughing on the bottom stairs.

This laughter is soon cut short by the sound of thudding.

You both go to the end of the dirt road, where you find a Wooloo using Tackle on the wooden fence blocking the path to the Slumbering Weald.

"Eh? Why's a Wooloo trying to get into the Slumbering Weald?"

You shrug.

"Well, I've seen this fence since I was little, and not even a hurricane can take it out. So here's hoping it can hold out once more."

Arriving at his home, Hop begins to look for something. "Who're you looking for?" Hop frowns. "Lee. He was supposed to be here by now.."

You walk out the door. Hop calls after you. "Where are you going?"

Turning to walk backward, you smile. "The station!"

Being outgoing only with people you trust, you find yourself looking for different ways to hide while you go to the station.

Once there, you are engulfed in a cheering crowd. You scan the crowd for Raihan, your big brother. After finding no such thing of the sort, you return to Hop, and you resume your quest to get Leon's attention.

Hop soon spots Leon, and calls out to him. Leon instantly notices, and dismisses the crowd with a Charizard Pose. A quick glance at Hop reveals he was thinking the same thing.

You try to stifle a laugh, drawing the attention of a nearby woman. She turns to look at you. Embarrassed, you shrink behind Hop, but you backed away too much. You somehow manage to bump into a group of tourists, drawing the attention of more people. You blush bright red, and look down at your feet as you apologize. They laughed it off, but the embarrassment was mortifying.

Never again.

Hop soon finds you and gestures for you to come over and join him. He sends you a sympathetic smile.

"Too many, eh?"

You nod quickly, wanting to get away from here as soon as possible.
