[Behind his shades, Machi eyes the sandshrew suspiciously. Telling her to 'show' him was a bold move on his part, not that she'd know it. Machi is not in the habit of declaring--with no room for deniability--that he can see. This was worth it, though. He has no proof that the little animal she has will listen to him any more than the little animal he has does... but he figures, now, that it can't listen to him any worse. And as long as this one doesn't talk back, he'll already be trading up.

Yes. Actually. Yes. This will work. This is a good deal.

It's only through sheer, practised willpower that his mask of serious, un-childlike indifference doesn't crack to reveal his smile.

But he literally can't hand over the Pokeball fast enough--he practically shoves it into Fordola's hand. Though he doesn't let go exactly, and won't until the other Pokeball is his.

Again: he's not stupid.]

Take it.

[And as he says it, the Chatot--which has been eyeing the sandshrew with such a burning, baleful stare that what comes next is really no surprise at all--suddenly spreads its wings and divebombs the Ground type in fury.]

[ It was lucky, almost too lucky, that Fordola wouldn't blab about how the kid could see. Not that she saw it as important, but also she didn't see the point of gossip. At least, gossip that doesn't help her.

Hm. If she knew the guy was pretending to be blind, she'd be preparing right now to see what she could get out of this, out of keeping this secret. But instead, she tosses over the other Pokeball.

The Ground-type? The poor Sandshrew? Just... curls up. Barely getting scratched - defending itself! Fordola, however, eyes the kid warily. Before trying to recall the Chatot.

Of course, we both know that Pokemon can resist being in their ball. ]

Pleasure doin' business with you.

[Machi, incredibly, neither jumps nor reacts in any oother visible way to any of this. He stands completely still, holding the Sandshrew's Pokeball in one hand as though... well, as though he didn't see a thing.

The Chatot, meanwhile, glances off the Sandshrew's shell, flapping its wings violently to regain control of its flight. The red beam of the Pokeball hits it just as it veers back around, perhaps intending for another attempt.

And for a second, it looks as though it won't obey.

Then, still staring baleful daggers at the small, pale boy who betrayed it, the little parrot dissolves into red light and disappears into Fordola's ball.

Machi offers her a small, fleeting smile.]

A pleasure.
