Gabe looked from the Bakuto, to Misdreavus, to the man and back. "Well sir, I would say our feet brought us here by walking the path we followed. We were on the way to the rocky area to look for pokemon," Gabe replied with a nod. His impatient nature made him immediately fire another question at the stranger. "The Misdreavus is yours? Cool, where do you find pokemon like that?" he asked, hoping for a travel tale about an exotic place. 

The man hadn't sounded too friendly to Mareep so she walked closer, in case Gabe needed help.
