Rory watched the situation unfold with vested interest.
"Hey, whatever works. I'll be honest, I envy your people skills. Now that I've got those kids the Professor wants me to look after. Noting Darren's expression, Rory just chuckled,
"But... That's not important right now. Like I said, I hate to bother you at the mines, but I just spoke to the Overseer's office in Solarix. Normally I'd have gone to Nora first, but she's preoccupied." Producing a Pokeball, Rory threw it in the air and Floatzel popped out.
"So are we battling here? It'll be just like old times." Both men shared a laugh at the memory of their first battle. When Rory had first traveled to Terran town, he'd decided to stop by the mines and had accidentally challenged Darren without knowing who he was.
"Although, I think you'll find we're not going down so easily this time." As Floatzel and Camerupt readied themselves, Rory aimed a finger at his opponent, "Floatzel, use Hydro Pump!"
