All Xeno could think to do was nod, his attention returning to the badge as he examined it closer. [i]'Team' seems advantageous. Better survival in groups, and these pokemon seem to know more than me. At least for now being with 'team' is good,[/i] the sableye pondered, trying to approach the situation as logically as he could. Xeno began nodding again, a little more confidently as he looked back up at the other pokemon. "Yes, team would be a good thing," he thought aloud, starting to actually like the idea. If all he needed to do was aid them they would supposedly aid him in return, a concept he'd had thoughts about before but never really had the chance to try as before nobody had wanted his help.

Unsure what to do now, Xeno took a brief stock of his items. A map leading to the mountains, his new badge (which was only the slightest bit dirty now from him holding it for as long as he had), and a 'water gem' that could serve as a snack later. He'd only just recently ate, as he had been successful finding coal in the mountains, and Xeno licked between his teeth out of habit to try and salvage any remaining coal dust on his teeth.
