Interacting with [@ZachChase] [@1Charak2] [@alexfangtalon] [@floodtalon]

[color=007236]"You know if you ever need help with dinner I could always...Chance? What happened to you?" [/color]Leo squinted his eyes to better observe the older boy's injuries. He looked like he had been mauled! He thought back to earlier that day and widened his eyes as if having a sudden epiphany. Did Chance need help with training his pokemon? He was all for training himself along with his pokemon, but not to the overboard extent of Chance. [color=007236]"Training with your pokemon is admirable and all, but you aren't supposed to train [i]with[/i] them. You'll be dead before the week's over."[/color]

From the bruises covering his entire body, he could only assume that Chance made himself his Skitty's sparring partner to better help her train. As foolhardy as that sounded, he couldn't help but gain a tremendous amount of respect for the seemingly timid older boy. Assuming he wasn't completely off the mark, of course. He did find it strange that there was a suspicious lack of scratch marks on Chance. Surely the Skitty would have scratched him if they were training together?

[color=007236]"A battle? Mmm...alright. How about a multi battle after dinner?"[/color] Leo took off his bad and pulled out a decently sized container. Inside the container was a full batch of Leo's Homemade Pokemon Food™, made by Leo and occasionally [i]for[/i] Leo. He took out three bowls from his bag and placed them onto the floor. He filled all three up with his signature dish and Nado plunged headfirst into his bowl. [color=007236]"Flabia? Time to eat."[/color] He gently poked at the Flabebe still resting on his head to wake it up. It yawned gently, briefly appearing drowsy, only for its expression to light up the second it caught a whiff of its meal. Leo stared blankly at Gira, who seemed far more reluctant to accept. Leo frowned at the pokemon disapprovingly. Eventually, it got uncomfortable to the point where it started eating just to get the boy to stop shooting him dirty looks. It seemed pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

[color=007236]"Oh, Nado?"[/color] Nado stopped eating to look up at its trainer. [color=007236]"You did good for today, but you'll need rest for tomorrow. Leave this match to Flabia, alright?"[/color]

The Gible looked nearly heartbroken at the request, but cried weakly to show its acceptance.
