He shook the stranger’s proffered hand and couldn’t help but notice the deep shimmering blue of his eyes, a stark contrast to the grey of his own. He hoped he wasn’t blushing as he sat down beside the man and nodded in confirmation at the mention of his Vulpix being an ice type. The white fox jumped onto his lap and padded in a circle before nestling down as Felix ran his hands through the exceptionally thick fur. 

At the guy’s shout he followed his gaze to note the disappearing Gyrados fins through the water along with streams of water dripping off his Lapras. The large Pokemon turned toward him with, what can only be described as, the sassiest side eye possible, before diving once more to graze on the lake weeds, choosing to ignore the large sea dragon nearby. 

“Don’t worry about him. He’s used to someone else messing around” Felix pointed out, motioning his head toward the Vaporeon that had walked up the shore toward them. Before he could say anything it shook its fur free of water sending droplets flying, splattering both humans, Umbreon and Vulpix with a spray of water droplets.

Felix laughed but stifled it to scold the eeveelution. “Now that was naughty!” he reprimanded the water type with a pointed figure, raised voice and scowling expression. Turning to the stranger again, “I guess it’s my turn to apologise. I’m Felix by the way.”
