Harry turns around to see that there is another person, a trainer perhaps, also present and that he has a fire pony with him. Besides, he is pretty tired of going through way too many wild Pokémon encounters to go into a battle right now.

“As a matter of fact, they do,” he replies to his question, “In fact, we went through so many Pidgeys and Skowvets earlier that two of them went for a nap afterwards.”

"Mm. Training's tough for a young Pokémon," Kaiba agrees, sitting down beside Zephyra. She neighs quietly, and he passes her a berry from his pouch.

"How long have you been traveling?"

[phoenixwiz]

“Well, I, um, I just arrived here a few hours ago,” he is pretty embarrassed to admit it, but he is still trying to get the hang of being a Pokémon trainer, “I am afraid that I am still new to this place even with the information I was given in the handbook.”

"You're new too?" Kaiba admits it readily---he doesn't need to scare the guy, not while his Pokémon are resting.

"I was stuck about 200 years in the past for a few weeks, but this is the first time I've made it to this world. I had to start my training without a handbook."

But he's figured out basic care for his team by now, so at least there's that. He pets Zephyra, careful to avoid the flame.

“Whoa, you were stuck in the past for a few weeks?” Harry couldn’t help feeling his jaws dropping upon hearing it although thankfully not too scared at all, “If I may ask, what was it like having to start training in that time period along with having no handbook or guide to help you?”

The Skitty merrily goes along with her tail chasing business like there is no tomorrow while the Sentret’s ears twitch as she sleeps.

"It wasn't pleasant. But the others helped me survive, and...after that, this is easier."

Kaiba settles deeper into the grass, still petting his Ponyta.

"I had to ask a lot of questions. I hate relying on others for help, it puts me in a weak position. But...no one's backstabbed me yet, not that I have much to steal."

That's probably not the most comforting thing he could say to Harry, so: "I can help get you started. I might as well, since we're both new."

And alliances...as he's learned this last month, can be useful.

Harry honestly does feel sympathy for Kaiba. The young man quietly listens to him recalling his time being stuck in the past. There have been many times in the past, even in his 5th Year, where he tried to refuse help from his friends and attempted to do things himself and that the hunt for the Horcruxes he, Ron, and Hemrione went through had its own perils too.

“That would be very helpful,” he agrees, “That way, we can try to help each other if any of us hit a tough obstacle.”
