Franklin sort of hung back, waiting on his partner at the end of the line. It wasn't that he was scared or anything, because he was a very brave pokemon and all. Still, he wanted to make sure his partner was equally as brave, and didn't need reassurance or anything. Still, it didn't hurt to check on, you know, how challenging it would be, that seemed like a very good idea.
"H-hey, Willow?" Franklin croaked, timidly. "Um, how strong are these pokemon going to be, you know, in the Mystery Dungeon?" he called to the leader of the group. He was asking for Russet's sake, obviously. He wasn't scared. Nothing scares him. Nope, nothing. Not bug types, or fire-types, dragon-types. He heard a russling in a bush beside the road and jumped back, frightened until he realized it was just the wind.
