Saarda grinned as he complimented her Growlithe. "He's a great pokemon." she nodded. "Brave and strong... just the best friend a gal could have. Aren't you, Emery?" He barked happily. "Phanpy? She looked over at the cute little elephant pokemon, and smiled. "She's sweet, but I don't know if I'd say more awesome than Emery." She said, "You like ground types a lot?" She hesitated, looking to Shadow, who was wobbling a bit still from the battle with Sandshrew. "I prefer other types, honestly." she shrugged, "Shadow is awesome... I really like dog pokemon." She chuckled, "They're... just so..." She sighed with a grin, "I don't know, fun? Cool..." She chuckled awkwardly, then with a covert glance at his face, she said, "Just throwing it out there... My Phanpy for your Houndour? A trade."
She scratched her shoulder where the scars she'd recieved in the battle to capture Emery lay. They kind of itched. "Shalini." She called the Phanpy, which stopped frolicking for a moment and raised it's long nose in greetings before skipping- as well as such a pokemon could skip- to her side. "What do you think, Shalini?"
"Phanpy?"
"This is Zane. I've known him for a while, and he seems like a good sort of person. I know we just met but he's raising lots of ground types... like you. Would you like to be with him?"
Shalini sat down and cocked her head, her ears twitched a bit as she thought, then she stood back up and pranced over to Zane, and reached out to tugon his shirt with her nose. "Phan Phanpy." She said.

Zane smiled as her growlithe agreed with her, taking the compliment much better than Sasha would. But Zane couldn't help and wonder how Phanpy felt after being compared to Growlithe. But Zane couldn't read the mind of poke'mon, so there was know way of truly knowing if they even understand humans fully. But his attention was called back by a question of sorts and he nodded his head shortly. "Yea, I am thinking I wanna try and be a Ground poke'mon master. Try and learn all I can about them. I mean I love all poke'mon, but I am gonna try and specialize in one type." he explained and watched the poke'mon around them. Shadow was himself once again and moved over to Emery to introduce himself in ways the poke'mon usually do. But there was something about Shadow, as if he were standing extra tall just to look grander...he seemed...cocky.
But then his friend noted she liked Dog poke'mon, and gave a great ego boost to Zane's newest poke'mon. Shadow wagged it's short tail and trotted over in front of her looking for some more loving praise. "Yea I know what you mean." Zane said, folding his arms comfortably. Then Saarda proposed something that had not entered Zane's mind. "A trade..." he said, trailing into thought. His eyes watched as she asked Shalini in a way and the poke'mon seemed to react positively. After what seemed like a period of thought, the cute little elephant made it's way over to him and tugged at his shirt. Zane couldn't help but laugh and look to Shadow to see if he understood what might happen. "What do you think bud, I can tell you like her already." he said with a smile. Shadow's tail wagged and fell into the ground in front of her, exposing his belly and wriggling like a dopey dog. Once he was done, he crawled onto her feet and took a sort of look out position.
Zane smiled at Saarda, and pulled Shadow's poke'ball from his belt and tossed it up and down in his hand for a bit. "I think they are both okay with it!" he said, tossing the poke'ball over to his friend for her to keep. Kneeling down, Zane ran his hand over Shalini's head and patted it slightly. Sora and Sasha came over in good nature and began to play with her. Zane shook his head and smiled, looking to Saarda for her to transfer Shalini's ball to his possession.

As Shadow came over, all puffed up and looking for praise, Saarda giggled lightly. "Oh, you are adorable!" She told him, rubbing his muzzle as he happily rolled over onto his belly then sat on her feet, looking out, just in case, for any danger. She looked up at Zane hopefully as he thought about it.
He said, "I think they are both okay with it!" tossing Shadow's ball to her, which she caught with a giddy feeling. She then took Shalini's ball and handed it to Zane. She watched Shalini begin to play with her new companions, Sora and Sasha. It was quite cute.
Saarda grinned, "This just made my day!" Trish and Princess warily approached the black and red dog. "Hey guys, don't worry, this is Shadow. Our new friend. Right, Shadow?" The dog barked happily and pressed his head against her shins. She made the necessary introductions, and made sure everyone understood what had happened. "I know you'll be an awesome ground trainer, Zane." She said with a smile. "Thanks for trusting me with Shadow."
Shadow barked. Princess, noticing the close contact, suddenly hissed. "No! What do you- Princess!" Saarda placed her hands on her hips, "No! Remember what we talked about with Xant? No attacking your teammates!" She ran a hand through her curly hair, "And be nice! For goodness sake!" She cried in exasperation. "Try not to get so jealous!"

Zane smiled at her words of encouragment toward his future goal. It was always helpful when another trainer gave compliments. It was like having someone let you know you were on the right path. But of course, he wasn't the only trainer here. "That means alot coming from you Saarda, truly. In my short time here, you are one of the most amazing trainers I have met. I know you'll treat Shadow right." he replied and looked down to his own newest addition to the team. "We'll work together to find all your ground buddies out there. And we will show the world just how strong we are won't we." Zane said softly. Sora of course agreed with a cheery smile. Phanpy simply stared at him, giving him some insight that she wasn't the very aggressive type. Sasha merely nodded and went back to playing with Shalini, happy sounds coming from them all.
The blonde looked to Saarda with concern as her Nidoran seemed to not like Shadow, or her other poke'mon by the sound of it? He wondered how Shadow might react... "Well Saarda? Shall we be going then? I was going to head to Petrel to resupply, wanna come with?" he asked, pulling Ponyta's ball from his belt and sending her out so that he could ride her to Petrel. "I could give you a ride." he offerend, pulling out two Poke'balls and returning both Sandshrew and Shalini. "You two will be out again in no time, don't you worry."

Saarda noticed Zane's concern about Shadow, then chuckled, "Princess is the jealous type." She explained. "Also she thinks the world of herself. Princess, you're going back in your ball." She said, calling the poison type back. As the little blue rabbit went back into her ball, Shadow looked at the spot she'd stood in contemptuously, then huffed. Little nidoran didn't know who she was messing with.
Then Zane said, . "Well Saarda? Shall we be going then? I was going to head to Petrel to resupply, wanna come with?" As he released Ponyta, and went to mount her. "I could give you a ride." he offerend, pulling out two Poke'balls and returning both Sandshrew and Shalini. "You two will be out again in no time, don't you worry."
Saarda nodded and did the same for her pokemon, then with a shrug, she let out Pidgey and Tai. "They could use the exercise." She said, as she went to climb onto Ponyta's back. "OK, Zane, I'm not a great rider, so-"
