He was still looking around when Quake alerted him to something so Ed turned in order to see just what his partner was making a commotion about. The moment he did his eyes landed on an approaching trainer. Face setting in a light scowl despite the fact he had been searching for another person as well just a few seconds ago Ed quickly assured the stranger “Yeah I’m good just this damn grass is throwing my sense off and I can’t spot anything at all since I set out. It’s like I am back on damn route 39. Now I just need a damn Miltank to roll by.” The sentence gradually turned more into a rant with each word as his starter went back to looking for anything of note before giving a small snort in response to the greeting it had received.

Clicking his tongue in displeasure at the situation and in order to stop getting off track the blond teenager calmed down and took a breath n before gritting out “Sorry about that but yeah again I’m good just looking for something to capture or just battle.” Just then the sound of battle reached his ears and as such he swiftly turned on his heel to see what it was about. Just a little off in the distance Ed was able to spot two wild pokemon going at each other.
His scowl lightened somewhat and slowly was replaced by a smirk as the trainer shared a glance with his starter while they prepared to dash to the battle. Still before he ran off Ed turned towards the other male and said “Yo, you coming with?” Not waiting more than a few moments for a response he was off alongside his starter. Once they were close enough to the commotion he was able to identify the two battling pokemon as gligar and swablu respectively.

“The gligar is mine. Now Quake use Swift on it.” Flames on its back ignited the Cyndaquil reared on its legs before opening its mouth and lunching the stream of energy stars at the ground type pokemon. Not expecting for another to involve themselves in the engagement the Gligar was taken off guard and pelted by the attack. Quickly adjusting though it launched its own attack in the form of a barrage of poisonous needles. The next command swiftly rolled off Ed’s mouth “Flame Wheel through it and use the momentum to bounce off him and into the air.”
[break][break]
Flames flaring even brighter to enveloped him the Cyndaquil formed a ball off rolling inferno as he rolled through the barrage of poisonous needles, reducing some of the damage to it. Slamming full force into the ground type before launching into the air. Ed plan was trying to reproduce a similar strategy to one they had used before but what they hadn’t been expecting was for the Gligar to launch itself into the air and slam into his starter with a glowing claw of energy. Swiping a hand to the side Ed barked out a new order “Flame Charge and slam into the ground.” For a moment the duo of pokemon were falling down before they turned into one flaming comet that slammed into the ground full force.
[break][break]
From it only Quake emerged but before Ed could even take a few steps towards his first pokemon he was enveloped into the familiar white light of evolution. The blonde trainer watched in fascination becoming completely oblivious to the rest of the world for a moment as his fist pokemon grew in size and changed form. He was brought out of his daze as a blur slammed into him and brought him on the ground. On top of him and smirking triumphally was the new and improved Quake. Involuntary a smile spread across Ed’ features as he gazed at his starter before it shifted into a smirk “Look at you now eh Quake.”
[break][break]
Getting up and petting a few more times the head of the fire type the blonde teenager turned to look at the other trainer after having lost track of him. Feeling unusually cheerful after witnessing his starter evolve Ed addressed the other male “Hey you want to stick together for the rest of the day, I’ve got nothing else to do and you seem decent enough. The name is Edward by the way.”

Sharing another smirk with his starter Ed retrieved the pokeball that contained their new teammate. Tossing it lightly in the air and catching it with his left hand a few times the blonde teenager turned towards his temporary companion his light mood continuing to persist. While mostly focused on his own confrontation Ed was sure his ears had picked up the sounds of another battle and as such inquired quickly “Hope whatever you faced didn’t give you too much trouble.” It was his own way of being polite and sort of making up for just running off.
[break][break]
“Look I am not good at all this stuff but you’ve been pretty good companion so far. The least annoying person I have probably met on this route.” Ed completely disregarded the fact that for the most of their supposed team up they had only exchanged only a few words or he ended up running off to face wild pokemon. In fact, it didn’t even register in his mind so he continued to talk quite pleased at how well he was doing the making nice thing “I’m pretty much done for the day with this catch. Don’t want to push Quake too much after just evolving as a precaution and my new team member could use a check up as well. Still I guess I can stick around and watch your back just in case.”
[break][break]
It was a bit of a roundabout way to say thanks and done talking for now the blonde teenager just put his hands inside of his pockets ready to trail after the other trainer and just hang around in general. While he would not talk much, he would not be above responding to whatever his fellow trainer asked or just even making small talk in general, his mood was just that good.
