[color=F27357][b]Location[/b]:[/color] Grand Glory City: Hidden Cavern[/center][hr]
As they ran, Nils barely spared a thought for how the tunnels seemed to be changing. The colorful mist, the hazy light that still seemed to somehow reach them, the rocks smoothing out the closer and closer they got to the source of the screams... All noted, but secondary to finding their goal, hopefully in one piece. And when they did finally come upon a more spacious cavern and saw a kid surrounded by a pair of pokemon, Nils stopped short of rushing right up to them.

Just a few moments to take in the situation, enough time that the pokedex registered the orange creatures and chirped a description.

[i]Fire-types,[/i] he thought. He might not have studied as many Pokemon as he could have, making these urban-living ones mostly foreign to him, but he at least had the battle properties of pokemon types down pat. So if these puffballs were Fire-types... Nils swiftly retrieved a pokeball from his pocket and held it out, releasing Tors from it. The mudbray shook its body slightly, but upon seeing the situation in front of him Tors spread his legs into a battle stance. His ground-type moves would be best here. 

Nils glanced at Rau at his side. The rattata stared straight ahead with large, intent eyes. Nils' battle experience was still limited, but he was his grandfather's grandson- he was confident he could command two pokemon at once. The reason he suspected he might have to wasn't because of what he and Clarissa had just found, but rather what they [i]hadn't.[/i]

[color=F27357]"I have a feeling these aren't the only pokemon around,"[/color] he said quietly to Clarissa. Could just those two little firespitters have cried out so loudly that they'd been able to follow the noise the whole time? And... Could Igglybuff really shout "Tuff"?

On guard for any surprises, Nils stepped forward. He didn't go far, just in case the Igglybuff decided to roast their captive for the interference. If the pokedex was to be believed (and there was really no reason to doubt it), they probably weren't going to eat the guy... So maybe they were playing, in their own misguided way, instead of being purposefully malicious. Still, the stranger was clearly terrified, so the best thing to do was to put a stop to it.

Nils took another step and splayed his hands open in front of him. [color=F27357]"Hey, hey, can't you two see you're scaring him?"[/color] he said. He was talking to the Igglybuffs, but he did glance over to meet the punk's eyes once before looking back at the pokemon. [color=F27357]"Why don't you play with us instead?"[/color]

Nils didn't gesture or otherwise look back at Clarissa so that his words could be taken to mean play with himself and his pokemon. He wanted to give her the option to take another course of action, whether that be something stealthier or even retreating, although he didn't think that Clarissa was about to abandon anyone here. He'd only known her for a couple of hours at this point, but he was sure about her. He was less sure about the strange pokemon, but he went on anyway.

[color=F27357]"Lucky for you two I know a ton of games. We could even test your strength! What do you say?"[/color] he said, forcing a grin.
