Silence settled between them. Something he was perfectly content with. He wasn’t real good at socializing with people he didn’t really know. It was because he didn’t really know what he should say to a person. Having never been real good at making small talk.
[break][break]
The idea of the older male striking up a conversation hadn’t even occurred to him. Not until he did anyway. The last question was a bit weird. He just figured it was his way of asking if he often traveled around the region. Or if he had come here to do a bit of exploring. But he supposed it didn’t really matter to much and that he should at least answer the older male’s questions.
[break][break]
”I came here to do a bit of exploring of the falls and to see about adding more Pokémon to my team. This is my second time to Meteor Falls, I did a mission here not to long ago that got me curious about the place,” he explained and would’ve returned the question if something in his peripheral vision hadn’t caught his attention.
[break][break]
He turned his head to see a Goldeen and Carvanha swimming around in one of the underground lakes that Metero Falls was known for. The Carvanha noticed them and shot towards them with aqua jet. Volt seeing this moved in front of his trainer and hit the Carvanha with a thunder wave causing it to slow.
[break][break]
Seeing that it was currently unable to move Ever took out a pokeball and threw it at the Carvanha. It hit causing the fish Pokémon to be sucked into the pokeball and the pokeball landed safely on the shore. Now that the Carvanha was inside the pokeball the Zebstrika would return to his trainers side. ”Good job Volt,” he said as he watched it shake for a few moments before turning his attention to the older male.
[break][break]
He would wait until rather or not Icarus had caught the Goldeen to speak. ”What brought you here? Were you hoping to obtain more Pokémon as well? Or was there more of a reason?” he inquired.[break] icarus blooms

It didn’t take long for the Gliscor to fly the woman over to them. Of course the Gliscor tried to keep his flight as steady as possible before gliding to the floor next to them. Which was probably a good thing. Since she had seemed pretty spooked about riding the Pokémon. Though he couldn’t exactly blame her. Though he himself saw nothing wrong with riding the Pokémon. But for those not real use to riding he could understand how it would be terrifying.
[break][break]
He was glad that the elite ranger thought so. Because he had felt a bit out of his depth. Calming people down wasn’t something he was use to. He was just relieved that his words had helped. And that he hadn’t had to be real open with his emotions.
[break][break]
”Thanks,” he said looking away. Receiving praise still wasn’t something he was use to. Thankfully the subject would move on though and he would watch as the Woman took up the offer to ride on one of her Pyroar. Which she seemed real happy about. Or at least happy not to have to ride Steel Needle anymore.
[break][break]
Once the woman had successfully gotten on they were on their way again. The idea of staying overnight in Fallabor did make him a bit wary. But he could understand the logic behind the decision. From what he could see it had gotten pretty late while they had been in there. That and the woman was probably be pretty exhausted from what she had been through. So it would give her time to rest.

THE NEXT DAY
[break][break]
Staying in Fallabor hadn’t been as bad as he had thought. He had mostly kept to the room he had had for the night. The biggest worry had been sharing a room. And having to pretend to sleep. But luckily he hadn’t had to worry about any of that.
[break][break]
Now they were just finishing up taking the woman back home. ”This mission wasn’t too bad,” he said turning to the older male once the woman was on her way. ”Guess I’ll get going now though, got to fly all the way back to Fortree,” he explained as he released Rook from his pokeball.
[break][break]
After making sure Josh had nothing left to see he would get on his Corviknight and take off. Flying the dual flying type off towards Fortree.[break] Josh Devlin

After looking at the two people he realized him wouldn’t need to help him. Neither Pokémon were being aggressive. Both seemed content to do their own thing. Though he noticed the Azumarill seemed a bit sad. Which he found to be a bit strange. It made him wonder if the dual type was lonely. He hadn’t considered the fact that wild Pokémon could get lonely. He just figured they would go and hang around other wild Pokémon if they did.
[break][break]
It seemed the older male was going for the Azumarill. He figured he had noticed how sad it looked as well. Though he watched the battle he also made sure to keep an eye on the other Pokémon. It still seemed content to play by himself though, so he was content to just watch the older males battle.
[break][break]
Things went well and he was able to lower the Azumarill’s hp enough to catch it. While the pokeball was still shaking the older male turned to him and introduced himself. He supposed it was something they should’ve done when they first interacted with each other. But it hadn’t even crossed his mind. It showed how little he was use to interacting with people he didn’t know.
[break][break]
Though he supposed the same could be said about the older male. Since he had only just thought of introductions as well. Speaking of he still needed to do that. ”My name’s Ever,” he said his gaze fixed on the older male.
[break][break]
”We should move on,” he said once he had noticed that the pokeball had stopped shaking. He would wait until Icarus had collected his newly acquired Pokémon before moving on. As they resumed walking he would look around keeping an eye out for Pokémon.
[break][break]
He did notice a Seismitoad and a Solosis a bit further away. He had no plans of adding either to his team. And since neither had noticed them he was content just to let them be. Which was made clear when he didn’t acknowledge their presence outside of just looking at them.
[break][break]
However if Icarus wanted either of them he would provide backup. But if not they would just continue on their way. After all he saw no point in engaging a Pokémon unless they were being aggressive or attacked first.[break] icarus blooms
