Kael was finally out of the lab, it was nice to be back outside, although he found it difficult to hold both a Nidoran and a Pokedex at the same time. Kael put the Pokedex in his pocket, and continued to hold the poisonous Pokemon. He noticed that a fellow trainer was holding his hand out to him. He didn't listen to everything that he had to say, but Kael was sure that he said his name was Ted. He shook his hand, being careful to not drop the Nidoran he was holding. Kael also introduced himself, albeit lazily.

"My name's Kael. Born in Twinleaf town in Sinnoh, and...I'm...an...aspiring trainer..." He trailed off. Surely this wasn't going to be all the group would be doing - just talking and introducing themselves. Kael wanted to battle, it was something he was able to do with enthusiasm.

As luck would have it, someone in the group did mention battling, a double battle, and Kael's eyes lit up. It didn't matter to Kael what kind of battle it was, the fact that there was a chance of having a battle was good enough to him. And it appeared as though he wasn't the only one. The Nidoran he was holding sprung to life as if it had a sixth sense. He seemed to like the idea of a battle also, as the Pokemon began to observe his surroundings.
