Ethan smirked as he was rewarded with the sweet confirmation of his terrible pun [color=f7941d][b]"I couldn't resist!"[/b][/color] He was not about to let their reunion happen without one. It was already beginning to feel like they hadn't been apart for so many years.

Shelgon let out a small happy cry as Averi acknowledged him and moved eagerly into her hand [color=8882be][b]"Gon!"[/b][/color] It then proceeded to happily trot back over to Ethan's side having said hello and receiving attention in return. Shelgon was as loyal as a trainer could hope for, except when it had come to Averi. He always seemed to take her side against Ethan whenever there arguements.

Ethan unaware of his actions took a few steps closer as Averi answered a call, looking at the guy on the display screen. He appeared to be quite impatient and suddenly Ethan felt guilty that he had made them late for their ride. Kai was his name? He had to agree with Averi that they shouldn't keep him waiting anymore. Besides, they would have more time to talk later considering they were going to be working together for awhile.

Ethan quickly retrieved his pokeballs and called back all his companions [color=f7941d][b]"He'll probably blow a gasket before his truck does if we do."[/b][/color] He casually joked as he adjusted the pack on his shoulders, tucking the pokeballs onto his belt. Ethan followed behind Averi as they left the town to meet up with Kai. It was quite a cozy little village. When they finally arrived, Kai was leaning against the passenger side of his truck with his arms crossed. The crease in his forehead was enough to tell he was upset [color=f7941d][b]"We really appreciate the ride out to the ruins! My name is Ethan, I heard your name was Kai?"[/b][/color] He would try diplomacy first to ease the tension.
