she was getting him to listen! she didn't know how, but it was oddly comforting to know that the situation wasn't beyond her control. a grin appeared on her face as nat continued to rub the shinx. "well, he looks real cute to me," she supplied, pleased to know that it was a good sign. she was even more delighted when he ended up rolling over. "oh, you just want a belly rub, don't you?" she cooed, mother hen instincts taking over her. she let her hands roam the shinx's black and blue fur, momentarily forgetting the pain in her leg from her scrape.
"you've got a really good pokemon there, dylan!" she remarked, looking up from where she stood. "i think with the right care, he could be really, really strong!"

Dylan thought to himself again. "Maybe, Shinx is better off in her care then mine? He didn't react like he usually does at all and scratch her or anything." He tilted his head thinking about it for a bit as Natalie continued to compliment and rub Shinx's fur. Slowly he came to a conclusion in his head that Shinx was better for with her then it ever was with him.
"Eheheh, yeah I guess he's a really good Pokémon." He muttered in response and then rubbed. "Say, do you want him? I think he's better off with you then he's with me to be honest. . ."

a part of her was feeling envious of dylan's shinx. her pokemon weren't exactly the definition of cute. the shinx was also the very definition of it, but it wasn't hers. it wasn't like she planned for her pokemon to be an unorthodox definition of sweet - it just sort of happened. she ran her fingers through his fur, admiring how soft it felt in comparison to her zubats' leathery bodies or zoe's cold, steel body.
she glanced up as dylan spoke, the pain in her knee forgotten. "huh, me?" it was such a tempting offer too. she could just run off with the shinx and be happy. but she felt like she kind of owed dylan for it. "are you sure?" she cast doubt on herself. she didn't know if she was suited for training such a pokemon, or if she was up to the challenge.
but it was also a challenge that didn't sound all too bad. she could rise up to it. she could finally prove something to herself. and well, if her magma identity was ever figured out, she guessed an electric type didn't hurt to have. she chewed on her lip before speaking up. "if you're sure... i'll do it. i'll make him so strong that you'll be proud of him."

Dylan nodded with a smile. "Yeah of course you, who else?" Dylan said, he didn't mind giving the Pokemon to Natalia, it seemed obvious that the Electric Type wanted to be with her instead, or Natalia just had a better touch when it came to the Shinx. He didn't care which one it was, he cared about Shinx smiling and being happy, and not all ferocious and sparky. "I'm positive you can take good care of Shinx here, if I tried anything that you were doing I would of been a fried Dylan right now." Dylan said chuckling a bit to himself. Of course he couldn't just give away the Pokemon otherwise Natalia would be in his debt. He had to think of something that would even it out for the both of them.
The idea of money popped into Dylan's head, he was a bit short on cash so why not just sell the Shinx to Natalia, they both would walk away winners that way. "I'm sure you can train this guy to be the very best, but I just care if he's smiling in the end." Dylan replied and smiled kindly. "How about I give him to you for some PD? That way we'll be all even, no one owns no one nothing!"

she was still a little hesitant, but she couldn't shake off the idea of becoming stronger with dylan's shinx. "really?" she looked on at the pokemon who looked comfortable to her touch. she wondered if shinx would act out on her like dylan described, although he didn't seem intent on attacking her... which was a good sign, at the very least. dylan had been most accommodating to her already, what with his first aid kit, and now the shinx - she didn't want to feel like she owed him or the other way round.
"that would work!" she lit up at the mention of money. she didn't have a lot of it, but she could certainly spare a bit. "here, um, how about this?" she forked out a small amount of money that she thought was sufficient compensation. "will that do?"
she looked at the shinx, feeling rather pleased with herself. "i have to thank you for the first aid kit as well... here, i'll give you my number. i'll get this cleaned up, and we should go get coffee together or something." she held out her phone, requesting for him to input his own number so she could leave her his number.

"Yes really." Dylan replied, he thought it would be okay to give Shinx away just for a bit of money. He took the money out of Natalia's hand and began counting it to himself silently. "Yeah this should be enough, he's all yours." Dylan said and nodded afterwards. Now that the two were even, Dylan wasn't quite sure what to do, though he felt proud of himself for what he had done, but that didn't last. Dylan was surprised when Natalia asked him for his phone number.
"P-phone number. . ." He muttered, he always forget he even had a cellphone, he didn't know his phone had a number. No one ever called Dylan over the phone, he didn't know what to say, being slightly embarrassed and slightly dumbstruck, he whispered quietly knowing very well he was lying just because he didn't know how to work a cellphone. "I don't have a phone. . ."

...oh.
it was hard to remember that not everyone had a phone. nat mentally kicked herself, receiving the shinx's pokeball and finding herself staring at it and trying to bore holes in it with her gaze. nat chewed on her lip and looked about, deciding that she couldn't just let it go without repaying dylan somehow.
she shoved her own phone back into her pocket, deciding that there was no reason to try and keep it out any longer if dylan didn't have a phone. "hmm... well..." she trailed off, feeling a little at loss for words. what was she supposed to do now? she didn't have a pen or paper, so she couldn't leave her number with him. pulling her lips into a thin line. "well, how about this? are you free, like, right now?" she just hoped that her sudden request wouldn't catch him off guard.

Bullet dodged.
Dylan really needed to figure out how that thing worked, maybe someone could teach him. After he was down with all his training, and rising ranks in Team Magma. "Priorities, always gotta have your priorities straight." Dylan thought to himself and rubbed the back of his head, he decided it was best to spend a bit of more time with Natalie right now just to make up for lying about not having a phone.
Luckily she had time right now, since she just requested Dylan to spend time with her. "Right now? Of course I have time." Dylan replied with a nod. He began returning his Pokemon one by one, until his only one out was Skiddo who pranced around his feet happily. "So do you want to get some Coffee right now?"

she tested the pokeball in her hand, returning the shinx, who seemed to do so without resistance. natalie smiled - it was always a good sign if they didn't resist being returned to their pokeballs. it was the start to a good relationship between trainer and pokemon, or so she felt. still limping a little, she ignored the pain in her knees as she grinned right back at dylan. he'd caught on to her request easily, so there was no question to it.
"i'd love to," she replied, watching dylan's cute little skiddo prancing around. she wanted one of those too. they were just adorable, she couldn't say no. her beldum hovered close to her shoulder. "i hear that there's a nice cafe in rustboro, too. it's on me." she walked on with him, happy to have at least made a friend out of the guy.
