"[color=ed1c24]Saying Amelia has an affinity for Ghost-Types is like saying I like black. It's a pretty massive understatement[/color]." Joshua said, indicating his completely black outfit. Odd for someone spending time in the desert, but whatever suited him. "As for seats, I got us some outside. So follow me."

Leading them out to the section of outdoor seating, he took them towards their table, taking his own seat, relaxing back into it.
"So, I guess you're not gonna specialize based on what you say Dawkin. Nothing wrong with that, it can make you rather adaptable. So long as you catch the pokemon you need to get you through the situation." He said, addressing the young man. "Specializing gives you limited options, but you know you're strengths and weaknesses and are forced to adapt with a limited set of tools. Not specializing gives you a lot more tools, but you're strengths can be so varied that they end up not becoming as strong as someone who specializes in a certain type or a certain strategy. You just gotta pick what works for you. Follow what you think is right."

"[color=ed1c24]As for you little lady[/color]." He said, turning to address Amelia, who suddenly looked a bit worried. "[color=ed1c24]Care to show me what you've caught so far[/color]?"

"[color=a187be]Oh... sure[/color]." Amelia said, sounding relieved. She grabbed her pokeballs and released her pokemon, letting Dawkin see the rest of her team alongside Phantump.

"[color=662d91]Shup[/color]?" Shuppet said, looking around.

"[color=92278f]Pumpka[/color]!" Pumpkaboo said excitedly.

"[color=bc8dbf]Litwick[/color]!" Litwick said, his flame burning brightly.

"[color=440e62]Loooon[/color]." Driffloon said, sounding like it was waking up for some odd reason.

"[color=8882be]Tump[/color]!" Phantump said before snickering when she spotted Dawkin, remembering his reaction to being scared.

Joshua examined them all for a second before letting out a laugh.
"[color=ed1c24]You said you'd catch a shiny Phantump. I should not have doubted you given your[/color]..." He paused, glancing Dawkin's way briefly. "[color=ed1c24]Particularly strong affinity for Ghost-types[/color]."
