[Ethan gives a small, grateful smile at Ash's forgiving attitude. It's not often that he runs into genuinely nice trainers--rather, most of them are quick to blame each other for something or other and demand satisfaction through a battle. He still feels highly responsible for not keeping a closer eye on his partner, but he knows all he can do now is try his best to help Ash out!

[Without further ado, Ethan hops onto a nearby tree and shimmies up the trunk, settling on a sturdy branch a decent distance from the ground. He shields his eyes from the sun and peers critically ahead. Aha!]
There! Just past the field and into the town a bit. Shouldn't take us too long to get there.
[Except he underestimates the height just a little, and when he moves to hop back down ends up tumbling inelegantly through the grass, covered in even more dirt than he started out with. OH WELL. Hopefully there's a shower in this Pokémon Center too. B|]
