<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">Davey was more surprised than soaked by the Splash of Toorop's new Goldeen team member.  That was good, because he didn't much feel like taking his clothes off to let them dry.  The smaller young man also felt pretty good as a trainer because (so far) none of his own team had acted up in a bratty fashion, but it might happen in the future if he wasn't careful.</span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 18px">Then Davey considered the question that Toorop asked before the Goldeen had splashed them.  He didn't want to let on that Aunt Gabrielle made him feel uncomfortable and make her sound like a pervert, because Davey might have misinterpreted things.  Also, he didn't want the taller man to think Davey came from a rich family.  Davey's Mom and Dad were 'middle-class' at best.  Aunt Gabrielle had invested time and money in a failing cosmetics and beauty company and turned it into a huge success.  She had never married.  Davey's Mom explained it as at first her sister put lots years into making a successful business and then when she tried dating that she found she attracted men that either wanted her for her money or they thought that they could do a better job of running her life than she could.  Because of that, Davey felt a little sorry for his Aunt Gabrielle.<br/>
<br/>
Toorop had just returned the Goldeen to it's pokéball, so Davey decided to answer the question, saying, "My Aunt is a nice lady.  She sells beauty products."  Then Davey tried to 'downplay' how much money she had by adding, "She gets by."<br/>
<br/>
Davey recalled Kraken and Pearl to their pokéballs.  He liked the idea of having Xena traveling outside of her ball with him.  He picked up and put on his backpack.  Xena landed on it and latched on.  Davey smiled and said, "Okay, Xena, you can ride for a bit, but if I get tired then you'll have to either fly while we walk or ride in a  pokéball.  You understand that, right?"<br/>
<br/>
"Beedrill (I think I understand)", said Xena and Davey seemed to think that she did.<br/>
<br/>
Looking over at Toorop, Davey asked the man, "Do you want to look around here some more, find another spot or head back to the route?  I don't think we'll get out of the forest tonight and it will be easier to find a camping spot nearer to the route."</span></span>
