Kjolmar agreed to both Aro's and Lark's ideas. He noticed how Tweener often tried to convince Shade into playing pranks on Flash the most, which seemed to trigger Flash' temper. "Tweener, stop that. You're not only getting yourself in trouble but you're bringing Shade down with you." Kjolmar said as if he was a parent talking to a child. Tweener then sort of giggled but obeyed the command and left Flash alone. 

"I am sorry about that." Kjolmar then said to Lark. "Tweener is still new to the team, he has a lot to learn. As you can tell, Neo is far more disciplined."

As they exited Hammerlocke, they overheard some people talking about the city's own power plant. Kjolmar decided to ignore it by now, his mind was set on Stow-On-Side now. On the road, he walked in between Neo and Luna and made conversation with them. "Are you guys hyped for your battle?" Neo grinned his gears a little faster in excitement. Kjolmar peered at Lark before looking back at Neo and Luna. "I am a little intrigued by Shutter. I never owned a Venomoth, you know how I feel about bug Pokemon in general, but this one has an interesting aura I have to admit." 

Kjolmar raised his voice a little so Lark could hear their topic. "I think a triple battle with Shutter could be fun. While Neo deals with poison and fairy enemies and Luna dominates dark types, Shutter can easily take care of the fighting and grass types."

Kjolmar didn't know much about Lark and Shutter yet and wasn't too sure about their experience compared to what he knew about Aro's path and his own. Being Aro's travel partner in the past made their connection firm and gave them a head start compared to anyone new joining the team but despite that, Kjolmar was open to the idea. 

When they almost arrived at Stow-On-Side, Kjolmar had the feeling they were being followed. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a Pokemon watching him closely. When he turned to face it, the Pokemon quickly hid. He shrugged it off for now and the group entered the city.
