's Spinda flinches and hides behind Yao while Yao himself smiles at the Banette. "Hello, aru!"

watches with a suppressed smile as Giedrius bows, offering his 'hand' with a "Banette!"

shakes the hand of the Banette. "Nice to meet you, aru." He takes out a pecha berry from his pocket. "Would you like some?"

nods when Giedrius looks back at her, who then eagerly takes the berry with a "Banette!" At this, she steps forward. "Ah, hello."

isn't sure what is up with the 'aru', but smiles pleasantly, before nudging Giedrius. "What do you say?" He blinks up from his munching and

thanks him with a "Banette!" before returning to his munching.

"Your Banette is very healthy, aru" The Spinda (that's technically not his) was still hiding behind him, cowering in fear.

smiles slightly at this, glad that they hadn't really scared him as Karolis pipes up with a "Lit!" randomly. "Great, I would hate to scare a

"Yes, although I aim to be a gym leader." He looks at Giedrius, then Karolis. "What about you, aru?"

smiles, reaching up to pinch out Karolis's wick, which she has lit on fire. Ignoring her pouting Pokemon, she speaks up. "I'm a coordinator,

specializing in Ghost Pokemon, though I do have two Normal."

"Oh, really?" He now knows two coordinators. "How many ribbons do you have, aru?"

"Oh, four. I just need one more, and I've completed the set for this region." Returning the question, she asks. "How many badges do

"All of them, aru." He tries not to make too much of a fuss about it. It's not like he'll go and challenge the league.

smiles, impressed. "Wow, good job! You must be pretty good!" That was cool that he had them all!
