"Not...exactly!" Shalin replied between breaths, looking obviously quite disoriented from the agility that was simply too fast to follow. "Gimme a bit," she managed, crawling toward a palm tree and bracing her back against it. She withdrew Queen Zing and released Kiara, her energetic Litleo, who was happy to play in the sand not far from her heavily-breathing trainer.

It took a bit for the adrenaline high to wear off and for the female to catch her breath. "Not exactly," she started to answer Symon's question. "More like Pokémon no one else dares to." She described some of her other partners to the strong man, including the Litleo that was still kicking up sand haphazardly. While Pyroar were very unusual ride Pokémon due to how dangerous they were in the wild, some of the ones she described after that were truly mind-blowing.

The most unusual, by far, was a Stunky that could not fire his musk on the run; she intended to ride the Skuntank he would be come to be. She would at first hold his tail to help him learn how to run-and-gun, then let him do so on his own. It had to be a wild but touching story to anyone who hadn't come up with the idea to harness up the poison-type. She suspected she was on an extremely short list of people throughout Hoenn.
