Parading around Route 101 with his most recent catch walking about with him, a fairly large Scolipede marched with Sylvester as he tried to help it grow accustomed to being one of his party pokemon. While Absolem seemed reluctant to like Sylvester at first, he began to gradually become a bit more obedient as they trudged along, and even seemed to enjoy Sylvester's company after a time. "Sorry Absolem, one day you'll realize why I just had to capture you." Sparing him a lazy look, the pokemon nudged Sylvester with it's horns, almost compassionately. Alarmed at first, he petted the creature before resuming his way down the trail. That was when Sylvester noticed another trainer headed wayward towards the two of them.

"Alright, keep it it cool Absolem. It's just another person." Smiling towards his pokemon and then back down the trail towards the person, Sylvester gave a friendly wave in their direction before gesturing for them to come closer to him. "Hi there, do you happen to be a new trainer?"
