Miu watched at Jess cooed to the Zubat. Yeesh. "You're gonna get a marshmallow of a pokemon that way." She wasn't going to make that mistake with her Poliwag. Who, as if it had heard her thoughts, jumped out of its pokeball and began looking around. She frowned at the tadpole pokemon before examining her own pokeball. She was reasonably sure that wasn't supposed to happen. Even if she preferred the tougher pokemon, those also had a tendency to go after people. Had Professor Apple gotten a defective pokeball? After the errand was done, or if they ran into her on the way out, she'd ask. 

Jess described what she saw, and Miu shook her head. "It was this one jerk. If we see it, it's getting a Bubble to the face, no questions asked." And if they were, Miu wasn't going to answer them. She had her pride and dignity. Both things that apparently Poliwag lacked, since the pokemon had spotted a sign and was struggling to clamber up it. Maybe 'Mago' - thing was more of an entertainer than a fighter. She'd seen a Pidgey on the way here from Santalune, if only she could remember if it was the path or the forest where she saw it. A Pidgey would be a decent fighter, hopefully. Not so cutesy. 

Bailey finally caught up and asked about the pokemon. Miu could field that. "Well, you have Panpour, Pansage, Pansear, Pikachu it seems, Scatterbugs..." She eyed the Spewpa. "And apparently Spewpa." She held up her pokedex to examine it, skimming over the entry for its moves. Only Protect. "You can fight it, but it's gonna be a pain in the ass." She pocketed the pokedex once more. If she was gonna train Mago, it'd preferably be on something that didn't waste a lot of time or energy. Actually, Pansears in general didn't seem like a bad idea.

Before she could ask where exactly those Pansears were, a new voice spoke up. She turned and looked the kid over - bit taller, looked and sounded like a total nerd. She sneered, even as Poliwag gave up climbing the sign and was now bouncing over to this new source of attention. "Jeez, what could you want from three girls alone in a forest, huh?" Miu wasn't nervous - it just seemed more interesting to rile him up if she could.
