Abel nodded, mostly sure that he understood what the man was talking about. "Interesting how much in common two strangers can have. Personally I am more drawn to dark type pokemon, but both have bad reputations." Taking a gulp of water, Abel looked at the man with curiosity. "Hakobo you said? I'll be sure to remember it, that is if you can promise me another battle someday. One between our strongest pokemon partners." Abel grinned, a fire alight in his eyes.

Sitting down, Hakobo attempted to drink his own drink, but as he clanked the mask it all returned to him, and the hope of looking sly was taken away. "I would love to show you the power of a pure poison type, and to see that of which the darkness holds? I assume it must be strong after all!" He spoke in a baffled manor, staring at the now free oddish, who began to steal his drink to the trainers dismay.
