Dawkin nodded. Route 2 it was. If he was truly outmatched he would retreat to Route 1, either for training or to complete it, but he doubted that would happen. Perhaps he was being overly confident, but it was also true that confidence in one's success lead to that same success in the same fashion of a self-fulfilling prophecy. When Jacques spoke up Dawkin was just as confused as Kalmia and he immediately held his Pokedex a little tighter, did this mean some of them would have theirs taken away? However from what he could tell that that wasn't going to be the case. However his ears did perk up at the sound of a Pokemon battle. Already? This was a perfect chance to get a little bit of training to help prepare himself for Route 2. Dawkin nodded and whispered to Aron, [color=gray]"Next time you come out be ready for a battle."[/color] If their opponents were entering it was likely they wouldn't have their Pokemon out and would seek a type advantage. It would be the natural thing to do, plus Dawkin planned on waiting for his opponent to have their Pokemon out, then release Aron and immediately give a command to guarantee the first blow of the battle. Of course that meant Aron would have to respond to his command that quickly, but that was out of Dawkin's control for now. [color=gray]"Proffesor Kalmia I will help battle Jacques's trainers."[/color] Dawkin said, stepping forward confidently. This should be interesting.
