[ Hmm. An otherworlder for sure then, and someone both apparently unassigned to Team Rocket and not a fighter back home. It's occurring to Risotto that stealing this man's Pokémon later on, while he's in disguise, would not be a terrible option, since he knows the identity of at least one of them...

But this man is also being polite and showed...well, 'mercy' is a strong word for the slow boring fight happening earlier, but still. Risotto has no reason to hate anyone in particular here, or target anyone in particular, so neatly as soon as the possibility occurs to him it ends up put aside. If he's desperate, maybe, but he isn't yet, and surely someone else with something worth stealing will annoy him more than this man does.

Anyway, back to the actual conversation— ] I've noticed that some of them are eager for fighting, and none of them seem...wholly opposed. [ His spinarak isn't as aggressive as the gastly — he has named neither of his so far — but even that tiny little spidery creature doesn't shy away from fighting. It would be odd if he wasn't already used to a supernatural system where something else fought for you.

Which would be an excellent thing to bring up right now, probably, except he just keeps his arms crossed and looks surly albeit not aggressive, and then simply asks ] Have you had an easy time avoiding it, since arriving?

[ AKA has Team Rocket already harassed this man? How wide spread are they, and are there others doing the same thing? ]
