"I try not to judge people too quickly. That's more Hiri's thing," Li replied simply as he spoke to the twin with a nonchalant expression clear on his face. "I can't really tell except during a battle how someone does as a trainer. Hiri can tell without battling 'cause she's more in-tune to Pokemon naturally."

"For the last time, Li, I said not to call me that!" Hiruka retorted to Li as though he'd been talking to her in the first place. She opened her arms to let the Sentret go, watching it scurry back to its friends in the tall grass. A smile was on her face before she looked back at Hoyt.

"Hoyt and Hyde are nice names. And I think you two will be fine trainers as long as you do your best with your Pokemon. When Pokemon trust their trainers, it's a good sign of a good trainer. It shows that you are giving them care that they need- and when a Pokemon trusts you, it also makes it easier to work with them as a trainer as well. If a Pokemon doesn't trust you, it'll make it hard for you as a trainer since they won't listen to you most of the time."

"You have to prove yourself to your pokemon so you can work as a team. That's why Pokemon you trade with other people will tend to take longer to work with- they're not used to you at all at that point. That's what Hiruka's always telling me," Li added that part simply, shaking Hoyt's hand.

"It's because they have different natures that they act that way. I'm sure there are other Cyndaquil out there that are just as shy as your Chikorita," Hiruka noted. "But it isn't odd that Cyndaquil picks on her. Either way, they seem to be friendly with one another. So that means that even if Cyndaquil can be a little bit teasing towards her, she still knows he means well, right?" She looked at the two Pokemon in question with a smile. "Spinny would probably enjoy playing with them too. But that's 'cause he likes any Pokemon."

"Yeah, Spinny's pretty lax. That's how he puts up with Hiri."

"I'm right here you know," Hiruka muttered. Li chuckled and smiled a cocky grin. "You're always so sarcastic, Li..."
