A lot of what Dylan had been saying made sense. With Harley moving to his side, Sylvester began to feel a little more comfortable. In the end, it appeared Dylan was actually trying to work against Magma, as dishonest as it may sound. "So if that's your goal, then why are you out here talking to Harley in uniform?" Sylvester looked over to the brunette after a short pause. "And what was he even talking to you about, Harley?" Wondering with great intent to find out, a little bit of cross examining between the two would likely do some good. Being exactly what he was doing at this moment, Sylvester waited patiently for Harley to say her part, as well as for Dylan to provide a good reason for why he was out here.
The last time Sylvester saw Dylan was when his Nidoking managed to kill an Aqua grunt's Mightyena. It was a pretty violent sight, and Sylvester was not too keen on that sort of thing. What he wanted most was to get away from Dylan, feeling as though he was only trouble for them both.

I didn't ask you. she narrowed her eyes at dylan but listened anyway. Sylvester didn't detest his words, so they should be true. Still, she was skeptical and with Sylvester uneasy, she was too. Not scared, per say, but very untrusting. Dylan seemed calm and like he was telling the truth, but she couldn't trust him. He had tried to recruit her and now he was saying he was spying on them and working from the inside? Bull.
"He tried to recruit me." that was all she would say about that, figuring shed leave it up to Dylan to mention she called him and the team's asshats since he was so butthurt about it initally.

Dylan nodded. "Yes I was trying to recruit her, that is true." Dylan replied, he wasn't going to detest that. "As I said before I am working against Magma, and defeating such a large group of criminals will not be an easy task alone, that's why I need help. I may be a strong trainer, but do you really think I can fend off murderers, backstabbers, and thieves all alone?" He added as let out a sigh. "The second reason is since I'm slowly climbing the ranks to dethrone the leader, I need to make sure there is no suspicion on me whatsoever. That's why I 'recruit' members, that will help me for my cause and not Magma's. The uniform is show that I do mean business." He paused and stared into Sylvester eyes.
"I'm not a bad person Sylvester, I wouldn't lie to you especially about information regarding Team Magma. I've just picked a path that's filled with risks and secrecy. . ." Dylan said in full honesty as he pulled out a Pokeball and returned his Lucario. "I'm going to change Magma into something good one day, but till that day I have to make sure everything I do and every step I take is a careful one. I apologize from hiding this from you." He then bowed arm at his side, feet closed and forward.
He straightened himself out. "Now that you know, will you promise not to blow my cover? You're a good person, I hope I can trust you. Once I'm at the top Magma's crimes will all be in the past and every criminal will be arrested for sure."

It was beginning to unnerve Sylvester, mostly because of the fact Dylan tried to recruit Harley, let alone approach her out in the open like this. It appeared just as reckless as the appearance Team Magma made during the summer gala. Though, Dylan certainly seemed convincing. Letting go of his suspicions for now, Sylvester let his guard down but in no manner noted for Flint to do the same. The Combusken was still very livid with energy. "Okay, I think I can manage that." As a fairly reclusive individual, Sylvester could understand the desire to keep a low profile. Especially with such an agenda.
"But you can count Harley out of it. She might end up helping your cause, but it won't be with a uniform on." After all, if they were all arrested...did Dylan think he would get away with it? Or Harley? Perhaps the rangers would cut them a deal, but with the way the ranger at the gala acted that didn't seem very likely to happen. "Though you should have told me sooner." It was an admirable cause, if it were true. Sylvester could back someone like that, sort of like with Andrea.
"But you uh, you should stop the uh...killing pokemon thing." It wasn't exactly the greatest approach, yet Sylvester didn't have much more advice to give. He preferred to take Magma on himself the way it was, but Dylan had a much more thorough plan in mind. "It leaves a trail to follow. You don't exactly want to get caught, do you?"

"He's killed pokemon before?!" Harley looked up at Sylvester then, totally in shock. Now she really couldn't trust this man until he proved her wrong... And right now, it seemed like he was proving her right regardless of his supposed reasons. She really wanted to leave now, caring little about any excuses he may have about killi mg pokemon. She gently wrapped her fingers around sylvesters wrist and hoped to gently pull him away if he didn't try to shake her off in the process.

While Sylvester could see his point, he wasn't too keen on trusting it based on that alone. Though Dylan did seem to have an answer for everything, so Sylvester at least knew Dylan thought things through. "Whatever. I guess, uh...good luck with all that?" He wasn't very sure what to say to Dylan, though when Harley tugged on his arm his attention was diverted towards her. "You want to go now?" With what Harley had said, it dawned on Sylvester just how off-putting this all may have felt for her. Maybe even frightening.
"Just try not to do something like that again, Dylan." His words were directed back towards Dylan, allowing himself to be pulled away with Harley. "Looks like she wants to leave. I guess we should be going our separate ways then? Watch yourself out there." With Harley's grasp on him pulling him further away from Dylan, he gave in and began to walk with her. Gesturing for Flint to follow, they would likely go back to the routes in hopes of finding a new pokemon to battle with and distract them from this slightly unpleasant reunion.
