Kjolmar was amazed at the size of Noivern. Then he frowned. "You're huge, Noivern. I'm afraid you will have to go back in your pokeball. Noivern protested stubbornly and glared at Apollo, who was laying back in Kjolmar's arms. 
Apollo noticed the glare and jumped to the ground. "I'll walk if that helps putting Noivern at ease." he mentally told Luna in order to get the message spread. 
Noivern growled and hit his wing against Kjolmar's belt, hitting his pokeball button. Noivern returned to his pokeball by his own choice, but he wasn't very pleased about it. "Sorry Noivern, I'll let you back out as soon opportunity presents itself."

"The guy in red was Han." Kjolmar explained to Aro "He used to be a member of Team Flare, a villainous organisation in Kalos. They are disbanded now but he still keeps a grudge against me for defeating them. His Pyroar is very powerful. Despite the fire type being weak to the water type, Pyroar is quite the challenge for Gyarados. I've defeated him before but to be honest, I was lucky to have mega evolution on my side."

When Aro rested in the meadow and let all of his pokemon out, Kjolmar followed his example. Well, he didn't let Gyarados out for several reasons: there wasn't a water surface nearby and Gyarados could be quite antisocial. But the others could rest in the meadow. 

Beau immediately went to play with Belle. Kjolmar smiled as both the Eevee's were running circles around each other. He noticed how Beau's fur was just that little darker than Belle's. Ideal for telling them apart.

Apollo made his way to Luna and sat down next to her. "I wish Kjolmar could hear me, like Aro can hear you." he mentally said to Luna. His voice sounded quite neutral so it was difficult to say how he felt about that.

Noivern seemed happy to get out so soon but he was also still a bit annoyed by having to go inside his pokeball earlier. He flapped his wings and landed on a nearby tree to take a rest.

Kjolmar laughed out loud. "Man, Aro, look at this. Two of my pokemon prefer being near you, one of my pokemon is upset with me and my last one can't even be unleashed without complete ravage. I'm clueless how I beat two region champions already." He looked at all his unleashed pokemon one by one and then sighed. "You know what, I'm going to let Gyarados out at the stream nearby. Even he deserves a break. Can I count on you to keep an eye on my pokemon for a minute? Beau is playing with Belle anyway and Apollo seems occupied with Luna. And I doubt Noivern will wake up soon. Be right back."

At the stream, Gyarados was let out. It roared fiercely but when he noticed only Kjolmar was around, he instantly calmed down. Gyarados lowered his head so he could rub it against Kjolmar's body. "Hey boy, are you well rested? That was quite the gym battle back there. Well done! Splash around as much as you want, I'll come get you in a bit, okay?" Gyarados blinked his eyes in agreement and dived underwater. 

Back at the meadow, Kjolmar grinned at Beau and Belle trying to catch each others tail. He sat down next to Aro and felt pleased that he isn't taking this journey alone. "You know, my sister also has an Eevee. He's called Brody. It's my sister's first year to go on an adventure so she's facing the gym leaders back home first." Kjolmar quietly watched Dante for a few seconds but then turned back to Aro. "Do you have any siblings?"
