...[color=8882be]"Oh come ON!"[/color] Indigo released Hawka from her pokeball, and the Combusken came out in a fiery burst. She let out a few practice swings before assuming her stance.

[b]"He's not interested in battling right now."[/b] Said a voice from the forest's edge. When the group looked, they saw an old man, hunched over the top of a wooden cane. 

[b]"Old man Nogu!"[/b] Zvi shouted as he ran to the elderly figure. The two shared a quick hug. [b]"These are my friends."[/b] Zvi motioned to the others. [b]"That's Dan, and... well... I just met the rest of them. I don't remember their names, but they seem nice."[/b]

Nogu smiled warmly. [b]"Any friend of Zvi is a friend of mine. Nice to meet you all."[/b] 

By the time everyone had said their hellos, Drampa Hermes let out a loud yawn. His eyes slowly closed as he decided to begin his nap here and now. 

Old man Nogu noticed the disappointment on Indy's face, and decided to try and cheer the boy up. [b]"Hey, if Hermes doesn't want to battle, that's fine."[/b] The old man then pulled out a Pokeball and clicked it's button. Hermes was engulfed in its red light and disappeared. [b]"I have other Pokemon that would love to stretch their legs. Goodness knows we could all use the exercise. What do you say?"[/b]
