While he didn't need much, he did like to have Niccia to himself. Even if it was for just a few minutes. Michael noticed how Anthony flew to the trees and followed him with his eyes. He didn't mind his Pokémon did their own things, and Anthony was just recently caught too, but he always was a little worried when they strayed too far. 
He glanced around the area too, it was quiet here. That was nice. And everyone seemed to get along well too. What more could they want?

[i]"Hello there, handsome,[/i] Saruya greeted him, rubbing her head against him. [i]"Why don't we sit overthere?"[/i] she suggested, nodding with her head to place further away, still close enough so she could keep an eye on the little ones, but far enough to have a little privacy.

Anthony flew to the tree where Merlin and a Noibat where. [i]"Hello Merlin,[/i] the Fletchling greeted him as he settled on the branch next to him. He examined the Noibat who sat a couple of branches lower.
[i]"Good morning,"[/i] Merlin greeted him.
[i]"Have you made a new friend?"[/i]
Merlin looked at the Noibat too. [i]"Friend is a strong word,"[/i] he stated. 

"It's their loss," Mindy said, "but it is sad Pokémon get rejected from their group. Professor Bansing once talked about it in the academy, his Primeape was the same, when he found him as a Mankey he was alone, rejected because he was considered too weak. It's so sad when that happens." She looked at the Salazzle. "But she looks happy with you."
She took her own Pokéballs and partly turned around so she had a clear area for all her Pokémon to join them. One by one she opened them and everytime the light faded a new Pokémon was there.
Soon they were joined by a Charizard, a Dunsparce, a Decidueye, an Onix and a Lapras. She proudly turned to Michael, who blinked when he saw the team, the grinned and raised his thumb. 
The Dunsparce crawled towards her and she picked her up. "These are my partners," she said to Gavin. "Minus one, but she will soon be here."
