He caught up with his pokemon and decided to heal him after the previous exertion of the gym battle and the sprint. After which, Neo was once again ready and raring for action. Indulging his partner's (and his own) desires, Sampson went out searching for wild pokemon to battle and train against. After defeating several Zigzagoon, Chubbunk, Gosel and one Porcupin, Sampson and his Virrgoose decided to take a rest. As they laid down, a lumberjack-esque man carrying an axe happened upon them. After a long conversation with the hearty gentleman, it so happened that the man told Sampson he was the HM-keeper of Cut. Subsequently, Sampson told the man he had the first badge and showed it to him. The woodworker then gave HM01 to Sampson and hurried off, dropping a Super Potion. Sampson noticed some time after the man left and used it on his sleeping pokemon. He then decided to check the results of his training. His pokedex revealed that Neo was now level 8, giving Sampson an overwhelming feeling of jubilation to see some benefit from his efforts. He felt as though that was enough training for Route A and that he should move on shortly to the next area with stronger opponents. So he laid back down next to his pokemon and closed his eyes for a short power nap.

After waking up, he started talking to Neo on their way through the countryside. "Do you want to be in your pokeball? Or does the exertion not bother you, buddy?" Upon his asking of this question the mongoose pokemon's face contorted itself into a very confused look as if that idea was absurd. It was evident in his eyes and mannerisms that Neo much preferred being outside and experiencing the scenery and outdoors. "Then by my side you shall stay. It's good to have company anyway," Sampson said in reply to his companion's actions. Off in the distance, Sampson saw thicker forest and plantlife. He got excited and sped up his pace in a hurry to advance his journey. Several minutes passed and the two neared the entrance to the Decorus Woods. As they approached, a trainer sprinted out of the woods and ran smack into Sampson, knocking the both of them over and spilling the contents of Sampson's bag. "So sorry, so sorry! I really didn't mean to do that, my apologies! I'm Arnold, Arnold Benedict, but you can just call me Arny," the young, skinny man with licks-of-flame for hair said as he assisted Sampson in getting up and collecting his things. He then asked Sampson who he was. "My name is Sampson DeRichard. You're fine, man, no worries. It happens, you know?" he replied, chuckling at the clumsiness of them both. Arny, with a relieved expression, replied with, "Nice to meet you, albeit not in the best circumstances. Where are you headed?" "Bastion, for my next gym battle." "Me, too, but I have to return to my campsite from last night, I forgot something there. Maybe I will see you in Bastion, though!" Arny said and increased in volume toward the end as he ran off, followed by--and Sampson had not noticed this earlier--a Mandrilurk. He scanned the Mandrilurk and gathered its information as they ran off into the distance. "Well how crazy was that?" he rhetorically asked his Virrgoose. "Virr, virr," responded Neo. A little later they had arrived in the woods and battled a number of wild pokemon, tough as they had expected. Looking for their next conquest, Sampson spied a little bird pokemon off in the distance buzzing around and shocking the fruit out of a tree for its meal. He scanned it with his pokedex, which revealed that it was a Kolibrisk, an Electric/Flying-type pokemon. He then noticed a large group of them approach the recently knocked down fruit and they started to fight over it. The one original managed to fight off all the moochers and started escaping, toward Sampson and Neo, as it so happened. The pokemon actually ran right at them and lost the attention of its competing Kolibrisk. After seeing what appeared to be more competition for its meal, it attacked Neo. After a short battle showcasing the formidable battling skills of the bird pokemon, it was defeated and Sampson threw a pokeball at it and caught it. "All right now I just have to heal it. This little guy ought to be quite the partner," the triumphant trainer said concerning his newest partner. Remembering the scan taken of his Kolibrisk earlier, he checked its info. It was male, level 7 and knew the attacks Thundershock, Peck and Supersonic. He sent out his new pokemon, healed it back to a state of consciousness and fed it the fruit it found earlier, resulting in a more friendly Kolibrisk. "I think I will call you Icarus. What do you think?" The Kolibrisk perked up upon hearing the name and nodded its approval, "Koooliii, brrrissk!" The three advanced on their path through the forest shortly after...

Sampson and Neo awoke to a beautiful sunset over the plains of Route B, when it became apparent that Neo was glowing. It wasn't the aura of evolution, more subtle than that. So the young man reached for his pokedex to see what had happened to his pokemon. The pokedex read, "Virrgoose, ♂, LV: 10, Attacks: Tackle, Leer, Quick Attack, Charm." Of course, Sampson all of a sudden remembered the aura a pokemon has when learning a new attack. Delilah had stirred off to the side, presumably because of Neo's bright glow and the combination of it with fresh sunlight. "Are we going?" she questioned hazily half-yawning, "hold on, wait for me. I'm up, I'm up, I promise." Chuckling to himself at her early morning fatigue, he did notice that she gathered everything up rather quickly. Quicker, in fact, than Sampson himself did. "C'mon, slowpoke we don't have all day," she playfully remarked. "Fine, I'm coming. Don't be so anxious, we don't have a schedule either," he retorted. A short time later as they were walking together and conversing, the subject of the next Gym Leader came up. "His name is Calleo," Delilah informed Sampson, "he trains Grass-type pokemon and is excellent at combatting types they are weak against, actually. It makes him formidable." If he is good at dealing with types strong against Grass, then I better find some advantage to give to Neo. Icarus already has Peck and a nice type advantage. I wonder what I'll do... "Well what is there other than the Gym to do in Bastion?" he questioned. "Oh, plenty of things," she said, " there is a theater, a Department store with all sorts of shops--" "Department store? Like with TM's?" he interrupted. "Yes, there's a TM shop in it, a pretty extensive one actually. Anyway, there are..." Sampson quit listening and started devising a way to give Neo his leg up on the opponent with a TM. A little further on, Delilah suggested that they split up and do some training before the Gym as neither of them, obviously, had the strength needed to take down Calleo. "Sure," Sampson agreed, "that actually sounds like a brilliant idea. Meet back here at sunset?" "Deal," nodded the young woman, "I'll even make you dinner. How does that sound?" That sounded heavenly to Sampson's ears.. and stomach, too. All he could muster was a spastic nodding motion that left Delilah with a giggling, inquisitive and confused look on her face. Then they parted ways for a short time.
