As he was getting up Toorop offered him his hand, which Jason was going to refuse, combat was a little different from friendly contact in his opinion, and completely unnecessary. But even when he ignored the outstretched hand the man didn't give up, forcing Jason to take his hand, grabbing it as he was pulled up and turned around, an arm pressing against his back causing his shirt to ride up, strange scars barely glimpsed bellow the cloth. A low growl cemented from Dragon as this man assaulted his Trainer in its eyes, ready to scratch the man until he released Jason.<br/><br/>Though it never came to that as Toorop released him, letting Jason free who turned around and scowled at the man for a moment, not appreciating being touched without permission. But he let the scowl disappear as soon as it had occurred, knowing it was just his temper flaring up and nothing else. Though he wasn't able to tell Toorop that as Jackie came over and asked if they were ready. Which Jason responded to with a nod, which was obvious with him not needing to pack up anything.<br/><br/>"As long as I can get some training in for Dragon, he will need it before the Gym, and I tend to like to over-prepare," Jason said as he zipped up his bag, slipping the marble into one of his front pockets for now until it would be useful of course. Slinging the medium-sized backpack over his shoulder he waited for everyone else.<br/><br/>"Char..."Sensing that his trainer was ready to Dragon trotted up to him and put his hands upon in the air asking to be picked up. Seeing this Jason let out a sigh before reaching down and picking the Pokemon up and putting him on his shoulder, feeling the creature step onto his bag and settle there, holding onto the collar of the young man's shirt. As long as he didn't get too big Jason would let him ride on his shoulders, it wouldn't hurt the little guy after all and would help the pace of the walk a little bit.
