After the pokemon fainted, Sorion called back the Shiinotic into his Pokeball. "Thank you for your hard work Dodo." He murmured in thanks as he pressed his forehead against the metal sphere before tucking it away onto his belt.

He turned to Leilani and just shrugged peacefully. "Just knocked it out so we can do some peaceful investigation without anyone getting hurt."

Now all that's left was the unconscious Vulpix. He sighed before kneeling down and picking the thing up before dropping it to Aegir's messenger bag. But before he left, he couldn't help but raise an eye brow at Aegis's jeering comments to Angelo and Athena.

Oh?

He didn't expect this boy to have such an attitude. With a dubious smile, he gave the boy a knowing look but didn't say anything as he dusted his hands and walked away.

After all, what was there to say when it was all truths and no lies?

Aegir was dusting himself off (as the alolan vulpix seemed to soil his fingers with some dirt) he turned to Sorion, flashing him a smile.

"Thanks for dealing with the vulpix," he said, as Sorion was walking away, Aegir still in quite a daze from whatever emotions he was feeling, "People should be more conscious."

He clicked his tongue in disappointment, patting the vulpix in his bag.

Angelo got up and dusted himself off. He had a slight glare at Aegir "how does he not know that I feel connected to pokemon?" He said to himself. He looks at Aegir "look,just because I wanted to calm it down. Doesn't mean you have to be Sarcastic about it. And yes, I know it was feral.but I would've tried to help it. BUT NO! You had made it faint"


Athena did a slight growl at Aegir

Aegir shrugged, leaning against nothing in particular, as he laughed again. Clearly, he was in a jolly mood after all this. His smile was radiant, yet almost mocking. No, surely not. And yet, one of his eyes flashed blue again, and his expression grew cold, before he lightened it up as if in realization of... something.

"Apologies—it's just my nature, y'know? I enjoy lighting up moods. Sorry if that..." he eyed Angelo's expression warily, "irked you in any way."

He clapped his hands together twice, clasping them together. "I see nothing wrong with making a Pokemon faint. It's still alive, and now, relaxed."

He gestured to the vulpix in his satchel as if it was obvious, "Look at the fellow, all cozy."

Angelo signed "sorry, it's just that, I'm very connected to pokemon and I'm passionate about them. I just want to protect all of them. I mean sure, Pokemon can be feral,but they aren't monsters. And I know that Tapu bulu is dangerous. But he is probably just trying to protect his home. I don't like it when trainers treat Pokemon unfairly. All pokemon,including Tapu bulu should be treated fairly. Pokemon have feelings too"

Athena stopped growling and sniffed Aegir.she wanted to see if Aegir was trustworthy. Her tail wags slightly

Breathing a short sigh of relief, Jasper was done with everything. The vulpix was now out of the roasting sun and in a state where it couldn’t harm anyone. Although this whole situation was bothering them. Could the trainer’s pokemon go feral? Could they go feral themself?

All these questions were things they didn’t want to ever have to consider, and the carelessness of the trainers was
starting to dig deeper under their skin. Jasper wandered over to Leilani, growling at Athena for no other reason than spite.

"Hah!"

Sorion couldn't help but sneer as he overheard Angelo's explanation. He leaned against Audre as he bent back on over laughing. The chuckle finally died over after a few moments, and Sorion couldn't help but snicker when he saw Angelo and Athena's trusting pleas and gaze.

"Aha.. Sorry that was awfully impolite of me aren't I?" Sorion apologized lacklusterly as he smoothened his cardigan from the wrinkles he just made. "But I must admit Angelo.. you have quite some guts to be saying that." Sorion continued.

When he evened out his clothes, he walked up to Angelo and patted that man on the shoulder with a bright smile. "It's funny, since you talk as if you even know how that poor thing is feeling! Do you know why that vulpix is feral?" Without warning Sorion's smile dropped and his grip on Angelo's shoulder tightened. "To be frank, no you don't."

It was quite off-putting seeing such a slender man exert such force.

"If you did, you would've never approached that vulpix in the first place. Because then you would have known that it was in pain in the mere sight of seeing it. Didn't you notice the way that vulpix was trembling? Not trembling out of pain, but out of anger, the forceful anger that it wasn't suppose to have and didn't want to possess. Each breath it took was in pain, but even more anger. Each step it took, it was getting closer into the deeper abyss. That poor thing was trying so hard to hold itself back, yet you kept provoking it. If you've known better, then you would have known that we were doing it a favor by knocking it out." Sorion spoke calmly, but each words were like the twisted knife of truth.

"But now you know right? So let bygones be bygones and don't say such nonsense ever again." Sorion smiled with his eyes as he let go and walked away.

Angelo had heard Sorion,he suddenly had an expression of slight anger.his fist tighten "I just know that Pokemon aren't all that dangerous" Angelo calmed down "sorry I just, don't want to be a bad person. It's just hard for me to get an understanding of the world.But, I now understand what you're saying. I just don't know what to say. I never meant to provoke the vulpix. I just wanted to help it. But, I understand what I have done" Angelo had an expression of sadness "I try my best not to mistakes.But I fail. It's my fault for not understanding"


Athena tried to cheer up Angelo by playfully headbutting him

Leilani sighed. They weren't getting anywhere at this point. She walked forward to where the vulpix had been. She surveyed the nearby area but all she could see was the dusty path and rocks.

"I think we should keep moving for now. We can find a place to look over it further across."

She didn't want to get involved with whatever Sorion, Aegir and Angelo had going on, although she did walk in between them to look closer at the vulpix. Now it was knocked out it was so much more peaceful. She ran her fingers through it's fur. It was soft but unusually warm for an ice type.

"We have to assume there must be a ninetails nearby. There's no way this little thing got all the way here alone. And it feels way warmer than vulpix usually do."

She placed a hand on her hip. She wasn't the best healer ever but she knew the basics. She'd been taught that much in Po town when she was younger.

Lucas saw the commotion around the Vulpix and went over to investigate. He had overheard most of what happened.

“An ice type does seem a bit outta place here doesn’t it? Perhaps we just need to cool it down. My Lapras can help.”

Sensing the tension, Lucas’s Zoroark moved over to the others sneakily but Lucas still spotted this.

“Doli, BEHAVE will ya? We don’t need this thing to get even more heated”

Angelo stayed quiet.he doesn’t talk because he refuses to say something,only to then be guilt tripped


Athena walks by Angelo’s side. Glaring at Sorion
