Gray nodded to Vash, smiling a bit. He agreed with the sentiment, and his Sableye was proof of that. He was immune to Normal and Fighting types both, which is what had given him such an advantage on the pair's mission against Hitmonchan. He wasn't quite sure what a Bastiodon was. The -don part made it seem like a fossil, and those were all Rock-types. It made Gray curious if their types were different before they were fossilized.[break][break]Gray's eyes met with Tina's. It was nice to recognize a decent Pokemon that originated from Hoenn. He wondered where he got her. "A dragon type? Are you going to challenge the dragon gym?" he asked, having heard a rumor that you needed a dragon type to challenge him. It was a really dumb rule. Dragon types were not the best type, and Gray had half a mind to catch a fairy type to prove it. Almost on cue, it seemd a Jigglypuff had wandered his way across the duo's path. 'That's odd,' Gray thought. Last time he'd passed through he ran into psychic and ghost types. Not fairies. Rather than use Sableye who would be at a disadvantage, he grabbed Flaaffy's pokeball and let him out. "Flaaffy, use Thunder Shock." he called and the Wool Pokemon released a devastating electrical charge. It surged through the air and hit the Balloon Pokemon in his round pink noggin. Jigglypuff let out a charming cry that seemed to shake Flaaffy who continued with another Thunder Shock, this time paralyzing him. Jigglypuff tried to use his voice again but was cut off by erratic shaking. One last shock and the opposing Pokemon seemed down for the count. Gray simply kept walking.[break][break]"Yeah, that's fine," he said to Vash's request. As long as he didn't ask for help; he was trained to identify Pokemon, not plants.[break][break]Gray would have mentioned something about Combusken being a fighting type and the fact that this was, as far as Vash would have known, a ghost-type hangout. That is to say, he would have if he hadn't made the exact same decision with his Sableye from earlier, though Fairy types were resistent to fighting as well. But if he kept using Thunder Punch, he'd be plenty prepared. Flaaffy watched as the Combusken finished his fight and evolved into a Blaziken. Gray could see in his eyes, almost out of spite, Flaaffy wanted to evolve, too. He stomped on over to the Blaze Pokemon, looked him in the eye, and then began to glow a bright white light. Within seconds, Flaaffy was an Ampharos. Gray couldn't help but laugh about how frivolous the whole thing seemed, but if it made his team stronger he was all for it.

Vash watched the wool pokemon wondering about maybe an electric type himself. Another blind spot in his team really. Though he had ground types which kind of nullified thunder. Honestly, he likes his team as was but felt a need to be prepared for anything.

"Seems we have a rivalry," Vash joining in on the chuckle. Arthur just responding by patting the pokemons head as well. No doubt earning its ire. "Stop teasing it," Vash said shaking his head and returning the fighting pokemon. It had been great to see him evolve though.

"I plan on challenging a couple of the gyms. Though I'm not sure which ones. The older rangers say it's a good test to judge your strengths in a friendly environment and not out on the field. Apparently, it also brings some recognition with it but I've had my share of being popular. It isn't my scene," Vash answered his question of the gyms. His family name was only semi-well known but mostly by business people. The brand they produced though was region known.

"Mothers a wedding planner and my father is the owner of Five Star Orchards. Needless to say, they plan a lot of gatherings to keep favor with others," Vash explained. Always liked for the family and not himself. There was more to life than money. At least by being forthright, he didn't have to worry about keeping it secret and confronted later.

Apparently, the sound of battle had drawn out a couple of pokemon. One of which was a ghost. Not exactly what he wanted though. It wasn't dual typed from what he knew of it. Which wasn't much really since most his research went into dual type ghosts. So he honestly had to really debate sending out his psychic. He finally decided against it though it wasn't worth the risk.

"Tina," Vash said looking to the vibrava. The pokemon nodding her head as she took to the battle zone. She was quick to rush in slamming herself into the ground hard making the earth shake and part ever so slightly partily swallowing her foe making it struggle not to be eaten by the earth itself. The banette suddenly vanishing into thin air.

Tina was confused for a moment but quickly took to the sky. She knew better than to stay grounded when her foe could be everywhere but above her. She flew upwards her foe passing under her and giving an unpleasant sound as its plan was foiled by her wings. The vibrava scoffed and slammed into the ground again making it shake once more leaving the pokemon to stumble away unsure how to fight a foe with the ability to fly.

"A ground type that can fly and avoid those limited to the ground. It's the main reason I picked trapinch," Vash said as she returned to his shoulders. "She isn't invulnerable but pretty darn close."
