[What's this? Silver is outside with his Pokemon and...not training?! You're not seeing things, this is totally the case. Quilava is happily rolling around in the grass, Sneasel's sharpening his claws on a rock and Golbat is looking for somewhere cool and shady to relax. Silver himself is just sitting there and watching them.

They're not gonna get stronger by playing and goofing off. Silver wants to be annoyed by this but he just...can't.]

Stay where I can see you, okay?

...I can handle talons! [he's actually not sure about that but like hell he's gonna seem weak or nervous in front of the kid]

[Damn straight he better not. The other you is someone he respects a good deal and it'd be awful to have it tarnished!]

Alright then, get everything together and I'll tell Soren. [He stands, walks a few feet away and gives a whistle at the Swellow, who mimics him note to note and stops playing with Quilava long enough to fly over so Chien can give him an update.]

[Silver quickly recalls his own Pokemon and gathers his pack in the meantime]

[As soon as he's done, Chien mounts the bird like they've practiced since they got back from the draft and lifts up from the ground until they're about at Silver's head, talons open.]

Just put your hands in his talons and we'll be off. You'll have to direct him yourself.

[This sounds so safe.]

...hang on. [takes out a pair of gloves and shoves his hands into them before doing as Chien says] ...okay. Um... [and he gives the directions to his and Jeb's place]

[Soren's talons clench shut, gentle but firm, and they're off! Hope you like the view Silver, because it's a sight as they beat upward first for some air.

But the actual flight will be the best part because they go so fast. Keep your mouth closed, and they'll be there shortly!]

[WOAH this is weird. Silver might be a tiny bit freaked out by this...MIGHT be. He sure won't admit it.

It's kind of cool, though!]

[You bet it's cool!! They'll be there in a few minutes too, because Swellows are quick beasts.

Hope you don't mind being dropped like luggage though.]

[He minds. Silver grumbles, rubbing his ass and legs as he stands up.]

Well, the berries are somewhere in my room.

We'll wait here, then.

[Silver heads to his room and comes back a second later with one of each berry-Charti, Passho, Wacan, Chilan, Keiba, Payapa and Rindo.]

[The Charti berry catches Soren's interest right away. Even if he had been born in Luceti, his instincts told him that one was very Good Eats. Just let him stare at it okay.]

That's all of them? [That's a lot...]

Well, there's a lot more kinds but Lyra hasn't collected 'em all.

[Lyra... That's not a name he's familiar with from Yellow, so they must not be here.]

How many? And who's Lyra?

Like fifty, or something.

Lyra's this girl I know. She's kind of annoying, but she's always trying to help me out and stuff.

[Fifty sounds like a lot.]

Uh huh. What do they do, exactly?

The Pokemon holds them and eats them and it just...weakens the attacks.

That's pretty weird. What weakens what?

[Soren scoots closer, and tries to go for the Charti Berry.]

Dunno. Some kind of chemistry thing, I dunno much about Pokemon nutrition other than what's good and what's bad for them.
