[color=OrangeRed]"Tournament? Tonight? I thought we were catching our pokemon tonight,"[/color] Arthur said, confused.

Althought if there [i]was[/i] a tournament, no doubt his dad would participate. His dad always was always eager for a good battle. Rampart too was a bit of a ham, always eager to show off his strength. 

But, Ken had nodded and wheeled around with a grin, leaving Arthur alone with this kid who must've been at the very least 5 years younger than him. He didn't know what the heck to say to little kids... Especially when they're so quiet. Arthur decided to piece together how Ken responded to him, and start from there.

[color=OrangeRed]"You really asked him if you could communicate with Pokemon without being able to talk with them?"[/color] Arthur started, [color=OrangeRed]"That's kind of a dumb question; If that was impossible, then Pokemon Training wouldn't even be a thing, dude."[/color]

Arthur's eyes drifted to the small pokemon by his side; It was green, with a green and yellow leaf skirt, with two tiny fingerless arms and two flowers sprouting out of it's head. Just sitting there, it was swaying slightly. Suddenly Arthur remembered the thing he just received, and pulled out his Pokedex, holding the lens so it was scanning the young boy's pokemon.

	[i][b]"Bellossom. Plentiful in the tropics. When it dances, its petals rub together and make a pleasant ringing sound."[/b][/i]

[color=OrangeRed]"That's a pretty neat Pokemon you got there. Is it yours, or one of your parents?"[/color] Arthur asked.
