[Pokemon training is slow going for Marlin, although that's not very surprising. Even without counting how absolutely bizarre this situation is, his specialty has always been raising crops as opposed to animals. Plants can't argue or do anything unpredictable, or at least that's how they should be. Here? Here it seems a lot of plants are also animals, and it's causing him to struggle with his newest team member.
A Petilil in this case, one that squirms in a little soil-filled pot Marlin managed to snag from Goldenrod before getting the hell out of there. There's no way he's staying in a city longer than he has to, but the nearby park isn't so bad, the air is much fresher and doesn't make his body feel like it's going to fall apart any second.
He figured his new little vegetable with eyes would appreciate it too, bringing her to a bench to sit down and gather his strength for the next stretch of travel, but his efforts to please her seem to be in vain.]
How do you expect to get proper nutrients if you don't stay in soil...
[Marlin's starter pokemon, a very bright-eyed Happiny, can't help but coo in awe at finally having a new friend, but yelps in surprise when the lively bulb springs out of her clay prison and starts hopping to the nearest trainer and/or pokemon. It looks like she wants to battle...]
Just ignore her, she's misbehaving.
[He can't summon the energy to get up just yet, just...give him a second.]
