An action that the Gible, who had been munching away on the poke-snacks, tried to mimic before realising its small arms wouldn't meet in the middle. Frustrated, it started to hop about chomping the air instead. [color=PowderBlue]"Nice to meet the both of you! I'm hoping to study pokemon myself, especially the dragon types. Maybe even spread the Hale name outside of Mercer."[/color] Arden said with a self-conscious scratch to his cheek. It took a moment for George's question to sink but, the youngest Hale responded promptly, [color=PowderBlue]"The ones I have are specially made for pokemon but they are edible for humans. The pink ones are the best, they're Pecha berry flavoured."[/color] Upon brandishing the bag of snacks again, Gible stopped its tantrum turning to the brunette with wide eyes. [color=SlateBlue]"Gib-Gible?"[/color] It asked with a cute head tilt that nearly toppled it over. Only to be rewarded with another small handful of the colorful cubes. During this time Rory, the Professor's assistant arrived, sopping wet. Arden gave him a look of understanding and a murmured, [color=PowderBlue]"Been there buddy."[/color] as they listened to the explanation and demonstration. Receiving the new gear with verbal gratitude, Arden quickly put away the gear before donning the DexWatch and pointing it toward the happy, clumsily dancing Gible beside him. "Gible, the Land Shark Pokemon. It attacks using its huge mouth. While its attacks are powerful, it hurts itself out of clumsiness, too." The feminine, yet mechanical voice of the device said, earning a disgruntled [color=SlateBlue]"GIBLE!"[/color] from the aforementioned creature. [color=PowderBlue]"It's alright Chomper. How about we accept George's challenge and prove that mean DexWatch wrong?"[/color] Arden said playfully, sending a wink toward the worked up little guy. Afterwards, he looked toward the red caped boy. [color=PowderBlue]"Still up for a battle, Georgie?"[/color] [hr][@Crimson Flame][@LuckyBlackCat][@TheNoCoKid]
