[People not getting shocked at his appearance was continually a pleasant sight around here. He knew not many people here knew what a Zora was, but the Pokémon and folk from afar helped people get used to the idea that many come and look different. So, it was easy for Sidon to continue on.]

Ah, I see I see! I agree, it is rather tricky. And Pokémon are not simple creatures. Far from it.

[His Wooper army around him all gave a "WOOPA" in agreement. Even the ones that took a ride on his head fin.]

Sometimes you have to consider it is less the technique and more your approach. What are you trying to catch, these insects?

[Referring the Caterpie on the trees.]

[spoiledbugboy]

[The small army of blue Pokemon around the guy didn't go unnoticed, but Haga decides not to bring it up for now. He has more pressing matters at hand.

Haga scratches the back of his head, turning to look at the Caterpie scooting around not too far from them.]

Yeah, one of those. They look kinda cool and I wanted one for my team, but I guess my aim is lacking a bit... [Might as well be honest about it. Otherwise he isn't getting anywhere in this new, strange world. He needs at least some guidance. The trainer guide only taught him so much.]

The guide told me that I should weaken them before I catch them, but they just look so fragile... [He's genuinely worried about hurting them. And he doesn't know just how strong Queenie is. After all, he still didn't have a single battle with her.]

[poisesidon]

Ah yes, I have indeed heard of the Trainers' Method.

[He mused this politely as he went toward a group of Caterpie perched on a particular branch. Though they seemed frightened of the approaching Zora at first, Sidon noticed their squirming and smiled at them brightly.]

It is alright, little ones. We mean you no harm. This one here just wishes to be friends.

[Sidon offered an arm slowly, extending respectfully to the branch. Sure enough...one of the Caterpie inched over and started to slink onto his arm. His scales were tough, but he still chuckled at the ticklish spots it crawled on. Another followed...Sidon looked to Haga again.]

You care about their wellbeing then, yes? Pokémon are not unlike people, some respond well when you allow them the freedom to express themselves.
