"Oh, cool." he said. "I was considering giving contests a try, but decided for now just to focus on the Gyms." Just then, he was called to pick up his Pokémon. He went up, grabbed his balls, and came back. "I should introduce everyone to you. Come on out!" he said, tossing the balls in the air. "We of course, have Zenni." he said, patting his Blastoise on the back. "Though you last saw him as a Wartortle. Next up is Titan" he pat the Golem on the back. "Then there's Nissa." he said, rubbing under the Clefable's chin. "And Azriel." he gestured toward the Alakazam. "Tri." he pet the three heads of the Dodrio. "And finaly Tesla." he said, gently petting the head of the Jolteon, as to not stab himself. "Everyone, these are Liam and Shiranui, the friends I told you all about." The Pokémon all greeted the two of them.
