The Riolu's sudden shift in attention and pointing of its paw at the aspiring champion was indeed self-explanatory. "You want a battle, huh?" Jason glances at Slayer and the Ralts steps up to stand next to his partner and the trainer nods before standing up himself. "Alright, little buddy, a battle it is. I don't know what you and Slayer talked about, but I guess I don't need to with a fierce fire in your eyes like that. Slayer, let's do this. Double Team into Disarming Voice!"

Slayer tilted his head at Riolu's question before glancing at Jason, who was relaxed against the tree, letting and trusting his partner to carry the conversation. "Ral ra ra Ralts. Ralts ral ral ra." Jason couldn't understand it, but Slayer essentially said that every human he'd ever known was a good one, including Jason, even if he was a bit eager. He glanced at his human partner and then looked back at the Riolu.
"Ra Ral Ral Ra Ralts Ral Ral." Jason quirked his head slightly at the way Slayer spoke, quietly wishing he'd understood what his partner was saying. Slayer had said, "I can see into their minds, see even the thoughts they try to hide. He's not a taker, he's a giver and he wants to see us all grow together." The two Pokemon continue their back and fourth debate, clearly having seen two different sides of people in their youth, or at least having been raised very differently.

Glancing over at the Riolu and following its gaze, Jason taps the Pokeballs. "My partners are in these, Slayer, the Ralts from earlier, and Rover, a Pidgey. Would...you like to talk to them? Or, well, one of them maybe? Man, what a time to wish I could understand Pokemon..." Honestly, it wasn't hard for the aspiring champion to understand the way the Riolu was likely feeling. Like that old lady had said, how would he have felt if someone was chasing him like a crazy person, he wouldn't be inclined to trust them either. Still, as he removed the ball with Slayer in it, he set it down after enlarging it and faced the button towards the Riolu. "Here, you wanna speak to him, Slayer is in here. Just tap that button in the middle and he'll be out to have a word with you. In the mean time, I'll be right here."

"Riolu, huh..." Jason smiles at the little blue Pokemon and waves at it before laying his head back against the tree with a long breath. "Alright, glad to solve that mystery...if it's alright with you, little fellow, I'm gonna just sit and rest for a moment. You're certainly welcome to join me." He pats the ground next to him before relaxing again. "You lead me on a good chase, but I do want to apologize for stressing you." Jason wouldn't lie, he enjoyed the feeling of the quiet around him, listening to the wind whispering through the trees and smiling. "Must be lonely out here without any other Riolu around, huh little friend?"

I mean, how I felt about getting chased is going to depend on context, but I get what she means here... With a nod to himself, Jason returns both Rover and Slayer to their pokeballs and looks in the direction he last saw that little blue blur rush off in and sets his face determinedly. "You're right ma'am, maybe I got a little too eager to see what our mysterious friend is, what species of Pokemon was so skillfully avoiding everyone who looked to see it. I'm gonna be a lot more careful and considerate about my approach this time." And with that he set off, his pace brisk, but not too quick so as to avoid further stressing the mysterious Pokemon. The aspiring champion doesn't say anything for awhile as he moves through the trees, his eyes peeled for the blue blur.
"Hey, little friend...I'm sorry for rushing you like that," Jason calls, watching for any sign of Pokemon at all. "I promise, I just want to talk a bit, see if you want to be friends." He paused in a small clearing and looked around before sighing and sitting against a tree, still panting slightly from chasing the blue blur earlier. There had to be a way to do this, he just wasn't sure how.

Chasing the little blue blur was definitely tiring, even with Rover acting as aerial observation and Jason, as he and his partners followed it deeper into the wooded area, quickly found himself tired and annoyed. "Come on, little one, I just wanna see what you are!" He finally stops and leans against a tree as Rover lands on a branch overhead while Slayer joined his trainer in utter exhaustion and panting. "Alright...Slayer, if we can see it again...maybe you can co-" The voice of the old lady made Jason jump in surprise and whip around, facing her with surprise. "I am so sorry, ma'am, I didn't know you were there." He listened attentively to the lady's advice and turned slightly red in the face at her observation.
"I...yeah, I'm maybe a little bull headed," Jason admits quietly, rubbing the back of his head in a small show of shame. "But...yeah, I'm willing to hear you out, Ma'am. You seem to know your way around here and how to handle that little blue blur after all." Slayer had since sat down against a tree while Rover flitted down and struck up a conversation with the Ralts. "What do I need to do different, ma'am?"

Despite how rough Slayer was from the battle, both he and Jason jumped in celebration when the Pidgey stayed in the ball and the aspiring champion rushed to pick up the Pokeball, grinning from ear to ear. "Good job, buddy! The first of our new partners, though we should definitely get you to a Pokecenter..." Slayer was still enthusiastic as he indicated that we should let the Pidgey out and Jason grins with a rueful shake of his head. "Alright, alright, might as well. Hope they don't take getting caught personally..." Spinning the ball on his finger tip before catching it, he tosses the ball and lets the Pidgey out.
"Pidge? Pidgey!" The normal and flying type flapped her wings slightly as she looked around and then at Slayer. "Pidgey? Pidge Pi Pidgey."
"Ra Ralts. Ra Ral Ral Ralts." The conversation is brief and the Pidgey looks at Jason expectantly and hops over closer to him.
"Well, that wasn't too bad...Alright, let's give you a name...Pidgey are known to wander...how about...Rover?" The Pidgey seems to think it over for a moment before nodding.
"Pidgey!" Jason laughs at the enthusiastic acceptance of the name and pats the bird-like Pokemon's head before recalling both of his partners.
"Right, need to get Slayer to a Pokecenter, but first..." He began properly talking with people around the park and, as a result, got some good information for his efforts, learning about sightings of what could easily be some rare Pokemon, or at least out of place ones, though the crying in the sewers sounded like it needed investigated quickly. After making a trip to the Pokecenter, and getting scolded by Nurse Joy for letting Slayer get so roughed up and told to take better care of his Pokemon, he returned to the park and let both his partners out of their Pokeballs. "Alright, Rover, Slayer and I will take the ground, I need you up in the air. We're gonna try and find that mysterious blue fox."
"Pidge!" Rover lets out a call before soaring up into the sky, leaving Jason and Slayer to start walking around, watching for tell tale signs of the mysterious Pokemon.

The stroll from the League Headquarters to the park was full of sights and sounds that Jason had been too focused on getting to the League HQ to notice or pay attention to and as he walked, he let Slayer out of his ball, talking to the Ralts as he walked. The flying types and other city-going Pokemon definitely caught his attention and he made sure to read their entries within the Pokedex app. Pidgey is a pretty solid starting Flying type, let's me start addressing my type coverages...though Rattata and Meowth are both good all-rounders being Normal-Types... Even as he appreciated the cityscape around him, he was planning how to grow his team so he could start exploring more of the region and not have to worry about any one of his partners getting excessively injured or tired. When he reached the park, Jason paused inside the gate with Slayer, who was excited to see such a natural space while all the aspiring champion could do was let loose a low whistle.
"Well damn...you'd think this was a natural occurring area with the odd man-made additions if it wasn't so meticulously maintained..." He set off to the right of the gate, reading the entries on both Ducklett and Sentret and tapping his chin Ducklett didn't really appeal, even with the Water-Typing, something about that 'no thoughts' look in its eyes unsettled him. "Come on Slayer, let's see if we can find a Pidgey to be our new partner, and ask around about any rumors floating around about any Pokemon that aren't normally seen." The pair set off diligently, paying attention to their surroundings and after thirty minutes of trying, managing to spot a Pidgey in a tree that seemed oblivious to them.
"Alright buddy, this is it. Hit that Pidgey with a Disarming Voice and then use Double Team to avoid the counter attack." (This is a quick capture attempt, battle plan is rinse and repeat here.) After either a successful or failed catch attempt, Jason would begin asking about rumors of unusual sightings or sounds or even unusual Pokemon.
