Scizor followed Gentry with steel feet clamoring through the mess hall like a body guard, close behind and assessing any threats. The people here were from all other countries after all, countries that had been at war with Leonias in the past. Countries that Gentry and Scizor fought against together side by side. Scizor was going to have a hard time trusting any of these people, and Gentry was the same.

[color=00a99d]"Easy, scizor."[/color] He reassured his companion, though Gentry was a bit on edge. He wasn't used to only having one of his pokemon at his side, but Salamence was much to large to be indoors, and Absol stayed out so that Salamence would have some company (and probably also to avoid the big crowd). The two of them were probably curled up in the courtyard soaking in the sun. Still the man carried himself with a soldier's stature, standing tall with his shoulders back, showing no signs of discomfort.

Gentry had seen castles before. Being one of the elite warriors of his nation he had accompanied emissaries to several other nation's capitals as a guard. This time was different though, as he wasn't used to such a warm reception. The occasion was typically preceded by an outbreak of bloody battles and followed by a peace treaty that never seemed to last. The fact that there none of the nations were officially at war at this time was a miracle in itself. To Gentry that was enough to show how dire the situation was, but a gathering of warriors called to band together and fight the darkness? That was more confirmation than anyone would need. The nations were clearly desperate. 

Gentry scanned the room, observing all those that he would soon be working with. Some looked rather strong, and there was a wide variety of Pokemon with them, but they didn't all look like warriors. He recognized none of them, which he decided was for the better. If he recognized someone it would likely have meant they had crossed swords at one point. He noticed Scizor eyeing a certain plate of Ekans that a woman seemed to be displeased with. He sighed, looked at the Steel type and nodded, giving him the 'go ahead' and followed him over.

"Please, don't throw out the dish. Scizor here loves eating the poison types. I think it's an ego thing, he's proud of his immunity." Scizor removed the snake from the plate and took a large bite, juices flowing out as he ripped the meat apart. Gentry turned to the girl at the table with the Staryu and gave a small respectful bow. [color=00a99d]"I'm Gentry, of Leonias, and this is my partner Scizor. I suppose you are here in response to the Emperor's call as well?"[/color]
