A swift, shallow nod and a quaint little smirk were his only responses to the young lady as the gears turned in his head. To be fair, there were multiple ways to exploit this system that shot through his head, though it came at the expense at his partner or the other trainers partner and the few that did could benefit them both seemed like a one and done deal.

Regardless, his mental machinations came to an end once Chloe entered, all while he held the door open for the two Hopeful's, keeping it open until they departed the lab to Kalmia's front lawn. He kept it open long enough for anyone else to leave and observe the battle before he slowly inched his arm back, letting the door close.

Following that, Cyril approached the trio with a hop in his step, with Aster bouncing in tandem with his partner, wiggling his little bud as he chirped. As he entered, he observed the scene with a careful curiosity, a gentle smile drawn on his face as his partner rested with a hearty, happy sigh. Of course, he didn't bear witness to it all, turning his attention to Kalmia with a hand propped on his hip as she imparted her own words of wisdom.

[color=ed1c24]"I 'ppreciate this all Professor; hopefully my research bears some fruit! Heck, maybe some of yours could help with mine, all things considered,"[/color] he replied plenty enthusiastically, with an expression that could easily cause a Sunny Day.

Turning back over to the young lady, he waved her over in his direction before ambling over to healing station and patting the side of it lightly before rapping his fingers on it, [color=ed1c24]"Now then, how 'bout we get your little partner healed up, then I'll go about explaining the plan."[/color]

Once she did that, Cyril would continue.

...

[color=ed1c24]"Alright, sooooo since we both have Pokédexes, we are both connected to the Pokémon Research Association!"[/color] As Cyril began chattering about this information, he brought his own Pokéball out and tapped it against the side of Asters head, resulting in him feigning a wince before giggling as the red energy shot out and placed him back inside the ball.

[color=ed1c24]"While there's a whole buncha' other stuff to go on about, I'm just gonna' cut to the chase,"[/color] Cyril spoke swiftly, placing the Pokéball in the machine and making a few deft taps before it began its magic, [color=ed1c24]"every time we catch a new Pokémon, we get paid."[/color]

There was a dark glint in his eye, shining brighter than a dim sun as he snatched up Aster's Pokéball and spun it on his finger, [color=ed1c24]"I want to trade Aster for your Sentret. It'll be a temporary deal since we'll trade them back a few seconds later, buuuuut my idea is that since we technically 'own' them during this time, it'll count towards the number of Pokémon you've caught, resulting in you being paid!"

"So whaddya' think? Wanna give it a shot?"[/color]
