[indent]The chipper expression on Arlo's face faltered for only a second as his eyes moved to the dark-haired guy who offered him a snide remark. His brow raised at the sass, his eyes scanning the man a bit as the other walked off. [color=618bcf]"Pfft.. bait? I'll show you-"[/color] He didn't finish his thought as a seemingly friendlier face instead offered him a smile and the benefit of the doubt. The sun-hatted redhead seemed the cheery sort - so at least there'd be [i]some[/i] good vibes in the group, much to Arlo's appreciation. The idea of shoving the debby-downers into a group together with his sister was appealing, but he shook the thought off as he realized the girl in front of him [i]actually[/i] took his survivalist remark seriously. [color=618bcf]"Aha- yeah- true, true. Maybe."[/color] He said as he scratched the side of his head.

Either way, it seemed the Machamp was waiting for the few of them to meet up with its owner on the upper deck - and who was he to keep a lady waiting? They made their way up to the upper deck, the small Zorua opting to prance along in awe behind the heels of the unfamiliar, majestic-looking Alolan-Ninetales. Arlo himself opted not to drag his sister along for now - she was sick enough as is, it seemed. Well, he mostly chose not to because she would adamantly deny joining any sort of group- but hey, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. Until it's too late.

It seemed that the owner of the Machamp though was a much more agreeable sort than his sister was. She seemed more than happy to welcome the three of them to the already-two-man group. Arlo had to hold back a small giggle at the imminent despair that was sure to come once his sibling found herself stuck along this journey with all these people. He didn't, however, hold back the less-snarky smile that grew across his face as he was greeted warmly. He lightly placed his hands on his hips as the little introductions were passed around.

[color=618bcf]"Well aren't we just a lovely bunch? Thank you for inviting us over, Mr. and Mrs. Naito."[/color] He greeted, offering a slight nod towards Botan and Felix. [color=618bcf]"I'm Arlo."[/color]

In the meantime on the main deck, Ayana released a frustrated groan. It was just what she needed. Some random Pokémon running off with their stuff. She took a couple uneasy steps forward as her hand moved to her hip and grabbed a Pokéball, the small red-and-white orb growing to fit her hand. There was the tell-tale tone of the Pokéball releasing before a small, brown Pokémon landed in front of her with a happy [color=c1cdcd]"Rockra!"[/color]

[color=456aa6]"Hey buddy."[/color] She greeted the Rockruff, earning a concerned head-tilt from the canine as he caught a glimpse of her downtrodden condition. [color=456aa6]"Help me catch that- thing, alright?"[/color] She said, pointing towards the Meowth as it scampered away between people and Pokémon with its loot. Rockruff wasted no time in following the command, pouncing after it as Ayana followed behind in her light-headed state.

She paid no mind to the overhead PA as it tolled more info and instructions regarding to imminent docking process.
