"I wish it wasn't like that, natural migration is more preferred in my opinion." Skids agreed.
At least then it was the pokemon's choice to leave their home. Not being nabbed at night or caught through a trap; or some other nefarious means. The subject quickly went to a better place and Skids couldn't help but laugh, joining in the amusement as he realized why the other would think he might be suggesting riding a potentially unsafe contraption.
"Haha, nope. No one needs to try riding in metal boxes haha." Skids replied, his smile growing wider, he even gestured to the elevator. "I think I heard a koffing in the elevator shaft anyway, so probably even wiser to leave that be."
As if to agree with him, a loud "Kofffing!!" echoed from the eleavtor doors. Skids couldn't help but snicker loudly at that. Taking a deep breathe, he exhaled and gained some composure.
"I'm game for going down first." Skids agreed, gesturing for the other to follow. "Stairs are this way."
Heading over to the spot he saw a door to that was probably the stairs, Skids noticed a feline like pokemon. It was certainly round with how pudgy it's cheeks were. Tilting his head, he could swear this had some vague resemblance to a persain but...persains weren't this color, not even in the shiny variant he'd seen pictures of. The cat yawned, showing off it's pearly white teeth and it stretched.
"Well you're a new sight." Skids commented, the pokemon tilted it's head at Skids and approached without hesitation.
Snifing the man's hand, it soon purred and rubbed against his hand and leg. Skids gave a gentle smile and lightly scratched it's head. Though he noticed something glint under it's chin. Craning his head a little bit, he spotted it. A collar, though the identification tags were no longer there, it was a gem studded collar with dark blue stones.
"No wonder you're so friendly..." Skids remarked, his brows softening further as he scratched the cat under it's chin. "Come here, maybe I can help ya out."
Taking out a pokeball slowly, he gently tapped it against the distracted cat as it purred. Loving the attention and not really paying attention to the fact it might've just been captured all over again.
