At first, it looked as if no one was going to help him. That was a good thing for Team Rocket, the people in this lawless town didn't care about trouble. It was probably why Cipher liked it so much. But then, somebody did. Some blonde haired guy with a Pokemon that was unfamiliar to Dilan stepped up, and rather aggressively offered to battle the rude woman in his place. He could practically feel Aqua's excitement at the sight of the unfamiliar Pokemon. She wanted to go make friends, being far friendlier than her trainer was.

Unfortunately for her, right now that wouldn't be a good idea. The unfamiliar Pokemon looked like it was itching for a fight. It also looked like an Electric type, not a good matchup for Aqua. The rude woman seemed to completely ignore Dilan now, having set her sights on the new trainer. "Bring it on!" She said, with a devilish grin.

Dilan turned to the trainer as well, offering him another of his extremely convincing fake smiles. "Thank you." He said, with a small bow of his head. Aqua was still very interested in the unfamiliar Pokemon, but now was not the time. Maybe after the battle. Dilan took a few steps back to give the two trainers space to battle. "It would be rude of me to leave, so how about I judge the match? You know, just in case."
