"So this is a corviknight? I never saw the one we flew that parcel for..." At least now he had an inkling as to what this bird was, though Monty almost had him worried about the tag. Would that have meant it was used to deliver packages and taxi patrons? That would've made the most sense, but also been equally tragic, so he was glad when Monty declared it a truly feral pokemon.

Corviknight kept twitching its head between them, its beady eyes flicking between either trainer, watching them anxiously. The ranger had given it a respectable breadth, but was circling it, eyeing its legs too closely. Without needing further provocation, it loosed a grating squawk as it fanned its wings, flaring its feathers until it puffed up larger than it actually was. It raked a set of talons through the air towards Monty without moving from its spot, done verily in warning.

Adrian waved his hands around in front of its face, and it seemed to fixate on him, though whether it was calm or deterred was difficult to discern. So he plucked a poffin from out of his backpack and chucked it upwards towards his corviknight, allowing it to snatch the paltry morsel. That seemed to win it over, at least. He gave the plumage on its breast a quick pat, stroking along the feathers so as to soothe its temperamental nature. "He's awesome, right?"

Adrian wore a shit eating grin, puffing himself up just like the corviknight. Maybe he should've been more concerned about their safety, but the pokemon didn't seem doom-driven, acting purely on its rattled instincts. "I figured we could fly him to Rustboro. It'd be quicker." And also help condition the creature to human contact, and maybe just provide another thrilling experience.

Minus the thunder and lightning, of course.

"Oh, and his name's Reign," he added before he forgot to mention something so critical as a name.
