Dewpider leaned away from Archie, its water bubble swaying. Bounsweet urged it to play with Archie, but before Dewpider could react, Archie sped off to aid Tora with the Basculin.

Juana stood up; having lived in Unova for some time, she knew quite well how violent Basculin could be. She started running to the river, but she saw that Tora had managed to get out of the situation all right.

"¡Arceus mio! Are you alright?" Juana asked as Tora came walking back. She exhaled heavily. "Basculin are vicious monsters, what with their teeth and hard bodies... Fishers in Unova were always told to watch for them."

Juana looked at Sirius. "That's a healthy Staryu... well, aside from the missing arm. They grow back, I think."

Bounsweet bounded up to the Staryu. While the red core of the Star Shape Pokémon did not indicate any emotion, Bounsweet still made effort to greet Staryu. It raised its sepals in a sort of greeting.

Dewpider on the other hand stared at the torn stump and shook its head. The rivers were a dangerous place; thankfully Staryu found a trainer who would keep it safe from tearing Basculin jaws or the lashing tongues of vicious Politoed, or the monstrous schools of Wishiwashi that tore apart their enemies like an oncoming cyclone.

Dewpider clearly had a very graphic imagination.

Juana breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm glad that [i]pez chupacabra[/i] didn't get you or that starfish," she continued, smiling at Tora. "Especially not  with Final Gambit."

Juana sat back down and stroked Bounsweet's stem. Bounsweet enjoyed the touch. "So when do you think we should head out? Unless you'd like to keep chilling here for a bit; it [i]is[/i] a nice river."

Juana unwrapped the Rare Candy she purchased, and Bounsweet stared at it intently. Juana was about to accidentally eat it herself (having not read the note that it was not for human consumption), before spotting Bounsweet. "¿Quieres tu, amiga?" she offered. Juana held out the candy to Bounsweet. She fed the candy to the mangosteen Pokémon.

Bounsweet hopped up and down happily, full of energy. Juana's Pokédex buzzed, and she read the notification:

[i]"Bounsweet grew to Level 2!"[/i]

"NICE," Juana said, offering a high five to Bounsweet. Bounsweet received the palm with its sepal.
