Nai seemed to slide downward from a standing position into a seated, cross-legged one. He thought it looked cool. He had seen his Sensei drop from standing to sitting with legs crossed a number of times, and had made it a point to learn how to do it smoothly. Another silly thing he borrowed from the older man he had come to respect so much.
"Maybe Kanto. I'd like to return to Kanto some day..." Minoru cocked his head, staring at his friend as she seemed to become lost in the utility of her Pokedex. "Although anywhere would be nice." The dojo he trained in had been in Kanto, located on a small island near Cinnabar.
"Ah I see. And suddenly it all becomes clear. This friendship has just been a facade... all to land you the free fancy food of a Pokemon League Champ. I'm hurt Livi," he placed a dramatic hand on his heart. "I wouldn't expect you to sit and cheer me on anyway. I imagine you'd be exploring wherever we are. Taking in the sights. Being unceremoniously hosed by the little one there" he gestured towards the tiny penguin, now perched upon the girl's back.
Minoru began to chuckle again as he saw Kana trot towards Ivy. He was fairly certain the little turtle would be a little too heavy for the spine of his fairly small friend. The chuckle turned to a full blown guffaw once more as he saw Ivy squirm under the weight of the two small Pokemon.
Kana stared Piplup down as it verbally berated her. Her face pulled into a sort of small Turtwig grin, as if in the short time she had known Minoru she had already learned his favorite face to make. It seemed very much like this tiny flightless bird wanted a battle, and if Kana were able to speak English, she might have asked her partner's permission to do just that. But she didn't. So she couldn't. She did, however, roll her eyes and cast a glance towards Minoru, wondering what he thought her best course of action might be.
"I could ask her to move now couldn't I..." he paused, faux-weighing his options for dramatic effect before. "Fine. Come on then, Kana, it seems three's a crowd, and we wouldn't want to do any permanent damage to Ivy's spine. She'll need that for all the walking we've got ahead of us."
Kana sighed, turning to Piplup and giving it a chiding look, as it to say I'm not doing this for you before two smallish vines emerged from either side of her shell, impacting the ground with a thud before lifting Kana up off of Ivy's back and placing her gently in Minoru's cross-legged lap, where she spun around a couple of times slowly, like a dog searching for the most ideal sleeping position before yawning a third time and lying down.
"Better?" Minoru asked, signature grin in full effect.
