Khul would tumble a bit, but then attempted to bonk Maxxi using its bone club, now beginning to ignite. Instead, it looked over at Fallon for a moment, a bit confused.

Zoro watched until he noticed Khul igniting, so he quickly got up and sprinted on over, as to prevent anyone from getting hurt too much-"Ei! Khul don't! They're innocent, probably-"
Marietta
**He just giggled. Picking up the marowak with a small smile. He hugged the pokemon.** "So cute! Is this one yours?" **He just scratched under it's chin. The pokemon was probably confused and panicked. So, Fallon set it back down and looked to Maxxi.**
Debra
Khul was quite surprised, but just flailed a bit, trying to be stronk smol. Instead it calmed down once it was scratched.

Zoro watched a moment, but soon sighed and chuckled a bit, scratching the back of his own head as he responded."Yeah. That's Khul... And it seems like they're calm for once- And I imagine this is your Mudsdale?"He asked, referring to Maxxi.
Marietta
"Oh! Yeah! This is Maxxi." **He looked to Zoro, then to his pokemon. A small chuckle left him once he looked to Khul again. He pat his head, looking to Zoro once more,** "I'm Fallon!"
Debra
Zoro went ahead and picked Khul up, now just calm smol for the moment.
"I am Zoro. I'm from Dorimay! Nice to meet ya Fallon."He said, looking to Fallon."You already met Khul, and over there is Noir and my brother, Meteor"
Zoro said as he pointed towards Noir and Meteor. Noir is flying above Meteor while he's aggressively swimming back to shore. How his flame isn't going out is a mystery he'll take to his grave.
Marietta
**He laughed a little. Just smiling as he watched Khul.** "It's really nice to meet you all! I'm from Galar." **He turned to his mudsdale once he saw Meteor. Maxxi started to trot over.**
Debra
"From Galar? Well to be frank, I wouldn't had guess that."Zoro said, chuckling a bit as he then set Khul down, who just ran at Meteor without any sense of fear or caution.

Meteor soon made it to shore, sprint some before tackling onto Khul, rolling until the two bumped into Maxxi. Meteor stared at the mudsdale a moment, then got up, huffing some.
Marietta
**Maxxi seemed confused and just stopped moving. Leaning down a little to press his nose onto Meteor. Fallon giggled,** "Born and raised in Galar. This is honestly my first time leaving my home.. So, I'm a little iffy."
Debra
"Ah, I see... Well, since I'm probably one of the first people you met here, lemme show you aorund!...Or at least to places I've been to so far."Zoro said, smiling a small bit. He did seem intimidating, but that really was just his appearance.

Meteor flinched a bit, then huffed again and spoke."Ei ei! What's the big idea, ya overgrown Ponyta!?"He suddenly spoke out, a tad bit upsetti.
Marietta
**He looked over. Maxxi had a small bit of a temper and Fallon didn't want him to get hurt. Maxxi let out a loud noise of irritation. Lifting his body up a bit, he moved to thump his front hooves on the ground. Fallon walked over and grabbed his hair gently.** "Maxxi, no."
Debra
Meteor was ready to pummel Maxxi into glue, but Zoro went over and grabbed onto the Infernape before he could do any harm."Brother, no... This is our friend, Fallon. And that is Maxxi."Zoro spoke.
"But that galloping gunk, just went ahead and tried to give meh a wet one! So I had to retaliate!"Meteor spoke, now just wildly flailing.
"Ah... Apologies, Fallon- Meteor's a bit of a handful when he's mad-"Zoro said.
Marietta
**He chuckled awkwardly,** "It's okay. Maxxi is too. Maxxi, go. Now." **He spoke sternly. Maxxi huffed at the in Meteor's face and turned to walk away. His tail swinging aggressively.**
Debra
Meteor twitched a bit, then just started yelling as he went to sprint after Maxxi, swinging. Thankfully, Zoro was holding Meteor by the tail to stop him from doing such.
"I see... Well, either way, may I ask what you are considered in Galar? I'm quite curious."
Marietta
"Oh! I'm a gym leader!" **He said proudly. Definitely prideful in his title. Maxxi at this point was out of view. Fallon just chuckled gently at Meteor.** "Meteor, honey. It's okay. Did he hurt you? I have some potions and berries on me if you want any."
Debra
"Oh? Well that's quite interesting- I'm Champion of Dorimay, but that's probably isn't much."Zoro chuckled a bit. He was proud of his title, yes, but he didn't choose to flaunt it as much.

"IT'LL TAKE A LOT MORE THAN A POKE TO HURT THIS-"Meteor shouted, but he then heard berries."...Now I wanna berry-"He said, ever so slowly calming.
Marietta
"Hon, He's a big pokemon.. He'd crush you.. But what would you like?" **He took his bag off and opened it. Inside there were an array of different pokeberries.**
Debra
"So!? I've taken on joltiks bigger than he is!"Meteor spoke, but then spotted the berries. He soon enough went over, grabbed a berry at random, sat down and ate it, calming down some.

Zoro laughed a bit, but he soon spoke."Well, that's definetely the fastest someone's calmed him down. Meteor's a stubborn one, just so you know."He said, watching Fallon and Meteor for a few moments. Noir soon enough landed near Fallon, just sniffing him out of curiosity.
Marietta
"Hello there, want a Berry too? You can take one if you want." **He offered the bag up more, looking to Zoro with a smile,** "I was raised around a lot of Pokemon. Growing up on a farm was pretty fun." **He spoke. His voice was soft and loving.**
Debra
Noir well enough opened up her mouth, waiting for a berry to go in it. Meteor went ahead and put a berry in her mouth.

Zoro stared at Fallon for a few moments before smiling softly to him."I see... I can tell that you truly care about Pokemon, so that's pretty sweet, Fallon."He spoke. He sounded calm and friendly enough, contrasting to his appearance.
Marietta
"Mhm. So, Meteor is your brother? If you don't mind me asking, how did you both get that relationship?" **He asked with a head tilt. Glancing between the two as he moved a braid behind his ear.**
Debra
"Hm? Ah, well..."Zoro thought for a few moments, figuring that maybe mentioning his true past was probably not a good idea, so he said."...Well, I was born around the same time Meteor was born... So we were practically brothers ever since!"That didn't really explain how the monk e could talk, but one bit at a time.
Marietta
"That's amazing! Maxxi was a new mudbray on my farm and I grew attached to him. He's been by my side ever since.. He's a good boy. Meteor, you should give him another chance." **He smiled to the pokemon. Closing his bag up with a small hum. **
Debra
"What, and have 'em snort at me again? Not while I can still pound 'em to paste!"Meteor spoke, Noir squeaking to Meteor. They glared at each other for a moment before Meteor calmed down.

Zoro watched a moment, then soon sat down, taking off his headband as to let his abundance of hair down. He never bothered to shave it, since he really didn't see the point of it."So, do you have any other Pokemon other than your Mudsdale?"He asked.
Marietta
**He chuckled at Meteor's response. Then looked to Zoro,** "I do in fact! I have. Gramble, my arcanine. Zaney, my Staravia. Sweetie, my cutiefly. And that's all!" **He nodded gently.** "Gramble is at my room, sleeping. Zaney is somewhere around the island. And Sweetie is.. In. Uh.. My pocket? I think. Somewhere around me."
Debra
"Ah, I see. And maybe check your pockets, Fallon."Zoro said as he watched Fallon."And you have a room? Where?"He asked, tilting his head slightly.
Meteor calmed some as he ate the berry.
Marietta
"In the hotel. And she'll be okay. She'll come out when she wants to." **Right as he spoke, the small bug pokemon poked her head out from inside the wrap on his head. He glanced up and laughed.** "See. Speak of the devil."
Debra
"Hm? Ah, hello there."Zoro smiled softly, then had decided to carefully hold his finger towards the cutiefly, trying to be friendly with the smol."I sometimes forget how sneaky Cutiefly are-"
Marietta
**Sweetie looked to Zoro and flew onto his finger. Fallon smiled gently,** "Sweetie is a baby. She's so soft and loving." **He chuckled a little bit. Watching as she looked at Zoro.**
Debra
"Aw, I can see that."Zoro smiled softly, then had decided to gently pet Sweetie using his finger, as not to harm her.
Meteor went ahead and got up, beginning to run about.

Noir went ahead and attempted to hide behind Fallon.
Marietta
**He looked to Noir and laughed a little bit. Just looking back to Zoro,** "So. How long have you had your pokemon?" **He'd ask while getting into his bag again. Humming a little to himself as a small pass-time.**
Debra
"Well, I had Meteor since I was born, I found Noir when she was... Well, being bullied by a bunch of Fairy-types, and Khul I found a month before coming to this island... I have other Pokemon, but Professor Palma insisted I'd leave some of my team behind to lighten the load... But don't worry, they're in good hands."
Marietta
"That's good! I've had my pokemon since like. Forever. I can't even remember. " **He laughed full-heartedly. The boy just blushing a little from all the air he put into the happy noise.**
Debra
Zoro watched Fallon for a moment, then soon chuckled some before deciding to gently set Sweetie onto his head, then go ahead and pats Fallon on the head."Well, it's good to know that you share strong bonds with your pokemon."
Marietta
"I'm glad I do.." **He smiled softly. Enjoying the headpat he had gotten. He just hummed some more.** "I would be nothing without them.."
Debra
"Well, that isn't true... You'd still be someone... Wait- that isn't what you meant, I think-...Either way, you seem to lead a happier life, Fallon."Zoro said, smiling softly as he patted Fallon's head some more before putting his arm down.
Marietta
**He laughed a little.** "Yeah, I never had problems during my life so far. Other than bullies and being babied, it was pretty okay." **He shrugged slightly. Looking at Zoro with a small hum. **
Debra
"Hmm... Well I can see why you'd be babied, but why would you be bullied?"Zoro asked, tilting his head a bit as he watched Fallon curiously.
Marietta
"Y'know. I was always smaller than the other kids. And then I got my metabolism and I gained weight and stuff. They thought it was funny so they bullied me." **He shrugged it off a again. It seemed he didn't really care about what others thought of him. But in all reality, it always gets to his head at some point.**
Debra
"Well... If anything, I'd say that either way, you look cute. And 'cuz of Sweetie. Besides, you have a unique silhouette to me, Fallon."Zoro said, smiling some. He wasn't really one with a way with words.
Marietta
"Thank you." **He laughed a little bit. Getting in closer to hug onto Zoro gently.** "You're such a sweetheart!" **He pat his head and pulled away with a big smile.**
Debra
Zoro was surprised by the hug, but stared at Fallon for a moment before he hugged him back, then sat back down."Ei I don't taste very sweet- So I'd say Ima heart-"He said, chuckling a bit.
Marietta
"Taste?" **He questioned with brows raised.** "You certainly act sweet!" **He moved his hands onto his hips and cocked the side of his hip to the left.**
