Jared just laughed at Jeff and Lucario's antics. "Man, can you make it one day without falling over something? I mean, even I'm not that bad!" Nicky however was less then impressed with the dynamic between the two and made that fact known to Lucario.
"Niiiiiido, nido, nido, kiiiiiii, nido nido, nido, niiiii, nidoki!"You astound me. This boy raised you up from a mere child and this is how you treat him? With disdain and sarcasm? That is not how you should be treating your partner. I mean sure, me and Jared have differences, he is very lazy at times, and I don't think he takes anything near as serious as it should be taken, but I know when it comes down to it, he is the perfect ally. If you continue to shun your teammate, then it could keep you from unlocking your true potential, and being anywhere near as good as you should be.
While that rant was going on, Jared's other Pokemon where making the rounds. Sparky flew over to the other Magneton, eager to meet another of its kind. Angus gave a quick grunt of acknowledgment to the new members before going over and eating some grass. Shelley made her way into the pond, heading down as Staryu flew in to join it. She marveled at the jewel in its center, wanting one of her own. And Xero just hung back on Jared, the 6 of them chattering, hungry as ever.
"Why don't you guys go meet the others?" Jared asked.
"Exeggcute, exegg!"Dude? You don't know by now? We want food. Food helps us meet others!
"Fine, fine." Jared tossed some Poke food out onto the ground over by the others and Xero leaped off his shoulders, attacking the pellets with the same kind of ferocity he wished they would show in battle.
"What a motley crew I've got assembled here." Jared said to himself.
