The young bug trainer seemed genuinely frightened of the deeper part of the woods. On the other hand he was fairly young and might just be hyped up on rumors and what not. Dawkin meandered for a moment. He thought about Jacques Pokemon, immensely more powerful than his own. There were many things still stronger then him at this point. He was confident in his skills but he wasn't foolish, perhaps it would be best to make sure he was more fully prepared for this. Dawkin nodded, having come to a decision. [color=gray]"Very well then."[/color] he said, more to himself than the trainer, [color=gray]"I will train briefly before entering to ensure I am prepared."[/color] After all Atlas and him had only had one battle together and it was a team battle. Some more training without the ability to rely on teammates should prove quite beneficial. Dawkin addressed the trainer directly now, [color=gray]"Thank you for your warning, be assured I will still enter, but I will give it a bit more time to prepare myself."[/color] He released Atlas who looked around at their new surroundings curiously before looking back at his trainer. [color=gray]"We are off to train for a bit, unless of course you wish to lend a hand and battle with us?"[/color] he asked of the young bug trainer, not really expecting an affirmative response but extending the offer all the same. [color=gray]"Ah yes, do you know of anything that would prove helpful should I find myself on the run from ravenous wild pokemon or where I should acquire it?"[/color] [hr] Actions: Offer a duel to young bug trainer and ask for information If refused do some light training
