Jay's face remained as passive as usual as the trainer that had been playing referee of his battle suddenly dictated that he would be accompanying him on his challenge. To be honest, the ex-Champion hated company. He was used to travelling alone, just him and those he could trust completely: his team. So he said nothing for or against the grouping, he just knelt down and opened up his bag. Rummaging around for a bit, he pulled out a smaller drawstring pouch and opened it. The glittering light from what had to amount to a small fortune in elemental gems shone out from the open pouch. Jay just pulled out a duller, yellow crystal and returned the pouch to his bag.

Pulling Ace's ball from his belt, the fainted bird appeared on the ground before the trainer. Jay used the revive on his pokemon, and Acedia was able to heal the rest himself with Roost. Jay didn't like going into pokemon centers. He liked being able to care for his pokemon himself. Besides, there wasn't always a center close enough. 

Having returned Acedia's ball to his belt, jay stood up and faced the 'Self-proclaimed Lead Ranger on Mande'. Sounded like a title a kid would make up to impress his friends. And now he was using it on him. Jay took a breath, already knowing that this place was going to be a pain. "I feel like going to the beach," he said not really to either of his new companions. He was already walking in the direction of Dartmouth Isle. Gula would enjoy swimming in the water, and he would have an excuse for not having let Ava out right away.
