<'It could have just been that Drilbur's claws, you know?'>

Orm makes a convincing argument, but Tuesday chooses to ignore it all the same. There's no way it was just a Drilbur, right? There has to be a steel type Pokémon somewhere nearby.

Even if it's just another Klink.

Hell, Tuesday will take on another Klink any day of the week.

<'Yanma incoming.'>

Tuesday clicks her tongue at that. Out all the Pokémon in the Steppes, Yanma may just be the ones that she dislikes the most... in part because they also are often the most annoying. Their wings make loud a loud buzzing noise when they fly, and they sure love to attack anything in sight.

"Let's just scare it away."

This time, Orm does so with an effective THUNDER WAVE

SPAWN RESET

"AHA! Looks like the universe has answered to your boredom, Orm." Tuesday grins when seeing a Duraludon peacefully sleeping beneath a spire, protected from the rain that the species is known to dread.

<'Is that even a thing? ...Nevermind, let's go!'>

She doesn't even need to give the Dragonair any instructions; Orm knows what to do. Being the one that's doubtlessly bigger here, he acts as a distraction, charging towards the Duraludon and catching it off-guard. Meanwhile, with her spear in hand, Tuesday prepares to strike.

"Oh... It's you."

This time he does talk to her.

See, Dr Bunya had suggested that he should feed the parasite if he wishes to befriend it, and Yuze's interpretation of that had been that he should upgrade the trainer subclass. Of course, in order to continue to do so, he needs more bytes, and the easiest way to earn some bytes quickly these days is to bring a Duraludon to Professor Ash. Plus, an excuse to chat some more with the professor is always good.

So, here he is, having found a Duraludon just as another player starts a battle. A player he recognizes. The same one he had encountered before.

Last time, they didn't talk, but today our spectral Yuze is in a better mood.

When seeing the spear's point so close to his throat, Yuze raises a brow, but he does not move away. He's not sure if this cat-woman's weapon breaks PvP restrictions or if she belongs to one of the classes that does, but he sure as hell doesn't intent to find out.

"Yeah, that's me. Name's Yuze." He says, calmly despite the circumstances. He even gives a slight nod towards the Pokémon battle nearby...taking care to avoid the sharp object that is so very close to his face. "Looks like you could use a hand."

He doesn't ask, he simply sends his Shinx out of a Pokéball, throwing her right into combat. Thankfully, Hala loves a good fight.

"Good to meet you too." He echoes, but is it really? Yuze gives himself a few seconds to consider it, and after they pass, he decides that yes, it is. He doesn't care much for interacting with most other players, but when they do most of the work in bringing down strong Pokémon that will earn him nice rewards, he sure as hell doesn't mind their presence.

Speaking of which... The Duraludon falls to another attack on the Dragonair's part, and just like that, it's dealt with.

Yuze brings out a golden Pokéball of his own, chuckling it towards the duralumin beast.

"Yeah... Something like that." He responds to Tuesday's question then, looking at her, and right there and then, he smirks. "Thanks for bringing it down. I'll see you around."
