Joshua was already at the Pokémon Center, relaxing in the food court with his Pokémon. He had been out training today, preparing to battle the local gym leader tomorrow. He had no expectations of winning however. He knew the Gym Leader was going to be tough and like have strategies to counter any Pokémon theirs might be weak to. He had heard the on in town used Bug-types so he knew Murkrow was his best chance, but he also wasn't going to assume Kurkrow would win him the entire thing. The battle hinged on more then one Pokémon after all. Glancing over at his team, he watched them as they ate. Murkrow might be his trump card, but he saw the other two as close contenders. Froakie was fast and had good reflexes. Plus his frubbles could be useful in trapping an opponent. Pawniard had a neutral resistance to bug types but he would take a few hits and return them as well. Plus, anything that tried to weaken him only made him hit harder.

Glancing around, he saw a few new face's in the food court. A group of girls entered but he paid no mind to them, returning to his own food. He would've continued this to do so, had he no noticed Murkrow fly away as the girls' food arrived. Cursing, he watched to make sure his hunch was right. Sure enough, the Darkness Pokémon swooped down onto the table and glanced at the girl's dishes, as if deciding which one it wanted more. It didn't get a chance, as a red beam of light hit it, causing it to return to it's pokeball in Joshua's hand. Sighing, he got up and walked over to the girl's table, scratching the back of his head.
"[color=ed1c24]Sorry 'bout that. The bugger has a habit of trying to nick food from others. Did she happen to actually get any from you ladies[/color]?" He said, examining each of them. They all seemed around his age and he wouldn't deny that each of them was attractive in their own way. Normally, he wouldn't have bothered coming over to them, but if Murkrow had taken any food, he figured it was best to pay them back, less he incur their wrath and have to waste time in an argument.
