"Thanks for the advice," Ri says quietly before going back to find a way to restore his hp.

"Slide brought back some berries last night." Champ suggested.

"Sure," Ri agrees sounding slightly deflatted.

Champ tilted his head slightly. "Are you alright?"

Ri looks at Champ, "We were being watched by Zoro one of Moose's team. He wasn't impressed by me."

Champ tilted his head slightly. "Zoro?"

"A zoroak one of the most difficult members aside from Lucario to defeat."

Champ scratched at his ear. "And that bothers you..." He mumbled. "...For what it's worth, I'd say you're a fine battler."

"I have a long way to go before I'm fine," Ri argues.

Champ tipped his head to the side. "Not nessecarily. For a pokemon of your type and level? Very near the top of your class, if not the best. Yes, you have some leveling to do before you can sweep a Gym Pokemon, but even still, you impress me."
