The trainer Proto Manson walked next to Avery, his Chespin safely in the pokeball on his belt, along with a new pokemon that the professor had given him as a gift for helping them with their research. He hadn't yet looked at the pokemon, but he was sure that it was one of the starters that he gave out to other trainers...right?
In any case, Proto looked to Avery with a smile, willing to discuss a funny event that had happened to him.
"Actually, when I first got Combusken when she was just a Torchic, she was very disobedient. She used to use her Ember attack to burn my eyebrows off anytime she'd get the chance! It didn't help that I was a poor trainer at the time, either...anyways, just show Reneguard that you care about him, and he'll come around eventually."
