"Huh what?"
Joe suddenly felt his body being lifted up. Raticate took the cue and jumped onto Joe, nuzzling its nose against the Pokeball belt around Joe's waist. It soon found its own Pokeball, and returned inside.
"Dépêchez-vous!" Runaway pulled Joe along as he followed Trak outside, where she called out her Charizard.
"Got an extra passenger today, St. Elmo, think you're up to it?" Trak smiled, giving her Charizard a chest rub. She then pulled out Runaway's Poke Ball. "In you go!"
Runaway immediately returned inside, and Trak tucked the Poke Ball away. "Okay, quick introductions. Joe, St. Elmo. St. Elmo, Joe." She dug through her bag, pulled out a frosted Puff pastry, and offered it to her Charizard, who ate it vigorously. She handed another to Joe. "Don't be shy, he won't bite. St. Elmo's the sweetest Charizard you'd meet. Give him a treat, and we'll be off."
