[mercenarywolf]

[Ballad is doing the whole training thing on his way through the forest! He seems to be adjusting pretty well, and right now he's faced off against a Rattata, with Houndour in pretty good shape. They are both a little scuffed, but Houndour seems to be winning.]

All right, now we've got him. You ready?

Houn! [Houndour is indeed ready, he leaps

I don't know what kind of Pokémon that was, but it kind of fits you in a way. Is it yours, or was it wild?

It fits me? Really? [That pink marshmallow? H-hey!]

I found it. I guess you could say it's mine. It didn't really put up much of a fight.

[sunshine_fruit]

Yeah. You told me last time that you weren't used to seeing so much greenery, remember? I think it's a perfect Pokémon for you.

I'm sure it'll grow up big and strong, too. [ . . . ] At least...I think so.

I guess I did ask for it. [And she's cute, too, despite his attempt to salvage his image.]

If this thing actually gets strong enough to win battles, I'll be the one that's surprised.

[He's actually having a good time though.]

You'll never know until you see it, hehe. Want to meet one of my strongest Pokémon?

[She's already reaching into her bag for the Pokéball.]

I think she'll surprise you.

[Video]

[mercenarywolf]

Sure. Surprise me.

[He grins at that. What does she have that is unusually strong? Plus he's already interested in seeing what Pokémon she has in general.]
