Aro had to admit that he has interested in Kjolmars suggestion of a triple battle between Luna, Neo and Shutter. Triple battles were something that Aro had very little experience in, and added another layer of competitiveness to the situation. For one, both Luna and Aro hated losing to new challengers more than anything. Considering Aro had battled Kjolmar enough before and lost to him on several occasions, he and Luna now had something else to prove to Lark and Shutter.

“I’m down for a triple battle if you were up for it Lark?”

As they entered Stow-on-Side the landscape changed dramatically, an almost sandstone and terracotta town lay before them. Shade instantly went floating off to explore. Aro looked at Luna.

“Go keep an eye on Shade for me buddy, make sure she stays out of trouble. I’ll meet you at the Poké Center.” 

Luna nodded and followed shade off as a chaparon. Aro watched knowing that although Shades curiosity worried him, he knew Luna was more than capable of protecting her. It always helped that Luna could communicate to Aro if anything went wrong. He then caught up to the others.

“So how about we head to the Poké Center? Then we can prep for our battle before the next gym?” Aro asked his companions as the sun gleemed across their new destination.
