The Starly let out a chirp when Devon acknowledged him, [color=cfcfcf]"Right!"[/color]

When the Pokémon before them revealed itself, Nasir immediately dropped the barrier. There was hardly anything it could do to them. 

Nasir spoke bluntly to those around them, [color=fc3862]"That Shinx is scared, be careful approaching it. Injured Pokémon are especially dangerous to handle."[/color] Looking to, and now addressing the Shinx he continued, [color=fc3862]<We are not here to harm you. In fact, my guess is you were attacked by the same group of individuals that assaulted us yesterday. Even if you do not trust us, perhaps you would trust Shaymin? Unlike us, she is not bound to a human.>[/color]

Ranulf set down Celes, and she slowly made her way towards the group, looking at the injured Shinx with tears in her eyes, [color=e4add5]"Oh no... Ranulf... you have to do something..."[/color]

Shaking his head, he replied, [color=f2b56f]<There's likely nothing I can do. Let us wait and see if that girl can convince it to trust us.>[/color]

[color=a3a8ab]<I see... well, at least we're by a Pokémon Center. Your friend will recover quickly, that I have no doubts about.>[/color] At those words, Silvally laid down next to its Trainer, looking up at the blonde while he replied to the two girls. 

[color=f5ebbc]"If you're not confident in their abilities, you should take some time to train them. I need to assemble a new team. If you'd like, we can train our Pokémon together."[/color] Green eyes fell upon the non-Alolan, a small smile crossing Gladion's lips, [color=f5ebbc]"My guess is contests are unlike Gym Challenges in that you only have specific times to challenge them? As in, they're more of a tournament than a challenge?"[/color]
