Dawkin let out a quiet [i]tch[/i] with his tounge in dissapointment that his attempt had been foiled. Obviously this Illumise was no newbie when it came to trainers. She'd antcipaited his throw even with the distraction and manged to doge it. Further more rather than looking at the Pokemon that launched the attack she kept an eye on him, allowing her to see know Atlas's actions before he did them. She began flying towards him and Dawkin reached into his belt for another Pokeball to keep her getting close enough to do anything but  a stream of blinding fire that made Dawkin reflexively cover his face. When he lowered his arm he saw the Illumuse looking unsure of herself and commanded off by someone unknown. After waiting to make sure it left Dawkin turned to face the newcomer that had helped him. She was wearing a wonderful flowing white dress dress with exoborent amounts of black hair. The Delphox next to her was clearly the source of the flame and obviously strong in its own right, as a quick scan revealed.

 Dawkin gave a pleasant smile [color=gray]"Ah well I was just helping out a friend, we both started our journey today you see. Though I must thank you in kind, I surely would have been hard pressed to deal with her on my own."[/color] The statement grated on Dawkin slightly. To think he'd nearly been stymied by a Pokemon on the in the starting area, if the deeper woods had Pokemon even as strong as her he might be overwhelmed by just one of them. Combined with the fact he was now down a super repel he was rethinking things. Obviously he'd just seen even wild Pokemon could have surprising amounts of strength. He hadn't given the kid's statement enough credit before.

[color=gray]"My name is Dawkin and my friend there is named Martin. I'm sorry if this seems bothersome but are there any tips you could give as an experienced trainer?"[/color] Asking for advice was equally irritating, but Dawkin was not above appearing ignorant to improve himself, even if doing so was abrasive to him. Atlas brushed up against his leg and looked up with those adorable blue-eyes hopefully. Dawkin let out a short laugh and ran his hand over Atlas's rocky frame, [color=gray]"Don't you worry, you'll get your reward soon enough."[/color] Reassured that he had not been forgotten Atlas examined the Delphox and trainer curiously, not quite running over to them but obviously interested.
