[i]"My name is Trillo,"[/i] he replied. [i]"I've had some humans for a while, but I don't want them."[/i]

He looked back at the broken cage.

Mr. Mime weaved its arms and summoned a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of soft light, attempting to lull Arcanine to sleep. Barley crouched nearby, key in hand, ready to open the cage the second Arcanine started snoozing.
