Metra nodded politely towards the Absol and Weavile. She was lucky that they seemed like decent people. Not like the devil of a Staryu she had to walk around with. "I will buy you a pint or three, after my training session. Or perhaps if we meet again, in Rustboro, because I believe my battle team will leave for that destination soon enough."
She hesitated. "Are you perhaps a battle team as well...?" They could be. Anybody could start a battle team, really. Wouldn't mean that they would eventually be successful. She knew that all too well.
Some other people were approaching, clearly interested in the fight that had almost started up. Some just couldn't keep away from anything looking like a pokémon battle, bless them. Metra felt herself blushing and thanked higher powers for her already naturally red cheeks.
The way the groups of pokémon moved towards them though... They did look awfully eager and energetic, but when Metra thought about it, this park was well known for being a spot for battle teams to train. And they were all in groups.
"So many battle teams gathering on this lovely day!" another voice suddenly broke out, grabbing the attention of Metra and more.
Walking up behind the Staryu was a tall figure that would have looked slender if it wasn't for the practically giant tail that bumped behind him rhythmically as he walked.

"My, my. Racking up some attention, are we, Metra dear?" he said with the hugest of smiles at his angrily red partner.
"I don't understand you," she simply sighed.
"I really don't want you to understand me, dear. That would be incredibly boring! Thank you for fetching her, Staro sweetie," he added with a wink at the Staryu, who blinked in return and rolled up to stand beside the Kadabra. He now turned to the others, firstly smiling at the Absol and Weavile, and then at the other teams. "Aren't we all here to train? I propose we arrange a couple of battles to get to know each other!"
Metra really truly didn't understand him. At times, she wanted to throw up and scratch his smug face. But at other times, he was the one person in the world that could motivate and inspire her. And he promised her battles. And she would battle. But not now.
"I'd prefer a short training session and then getting on with it towards Rustboro and the gym, Rhaksoul," the Scizor therefore replied.
"Aww," the Kadabra said with obvious disappointment. "Well, maybe that is for the best. Are you going the land route to Rustboro as well, my friends?" he turned to ask the other teams again.
