[He's been mostly avoiding people this month save for times when he couldn't, but even then. Antisocial is a Thing, as is coming to terms with not being able to go home (and probably needing to actually help rather than sulking), dealing with pokemon needing to heal the old fashioned way - which sucks, if you ask him-, and.... the baby seedot in his arms.

He looks rather annoyed to even be asking, but - he has no choice.] Katharine has pokemon. The girl who gave me this had some kind of pokemon, and [Here, Silver makes a face.] He's got a team.

...Who else here has pokemon and is willing to battle to make this thing stronger? My pokemon are too powerful for it.

[A beat, then] Same goes for the rest of my team. If I have to be stuck here, I'm not going to stop training. They've fallen behind.

[Of course this is the first thing on his mind. At least he's not insulting anyone? Yet.]

[Man, it's lucky Rin just happened to be in the neighborhood of "wherever this thread is", or she might have missed this opportunity. By necessity, she checks her phone and the network regularly, but she's not very good at it. But battle, huh...]

They grow if you do that, right? [Assuming she got a brief explanation of how the evolutionary process works, anyways. But 'sup, Silver. Just an eavesdropper over here, to the far off left. Or two, rather. One 17-year-old girl in a very short skirt, and the Ralts trailing after her.] I'll take you up on that.

[He's... not sure skirts should be that short, but. Ok. Anyway. Have a blink, and then he's setting the seedot down and nudging forward with his foot.] Yea.

You know what attacks your pokemon'll have?

[heritrix]

[Rin glances at her pokemon, and he glances back. Koo, her Ralts, looks a little nervous but he nods with determination all the same.]

I do. [Not that he has many, baby pokemon and all.] But this will be our first battle, so I'm not familiar with the process. Are there rules, like in a spar?

[He made this sound like a formal thing, with the way he called it training. As someone who practices martial arts, that makes her think it must have some structure.]

bide, harden and growl? This is going to end up in a struggle battle Probably?

[namesaquestion]

[A nod, and Silver holds up his fingers. He's going to teach her the way his father did, once upon a time.] Battles are until the pokemon faints. There's no running from a battle. Don't target the trainer. Typically the loser paid the winner some amount of money. But here, I think we can skip that.

[As he speaks, he ticks each point off.]

Well if we go by ORAS levels, Ralts COULD also have Confusion. What do you think? 8|a

[Rin places her hands on her hips and nods to each point. Ugh, no targeting the trainer, though. There goes one idea, but alright. That's fair.]

Alright. What about recovery?
