Mark quickly ran over and asked Toni, who thankfully obliged without a fuss, to hand Dracomon over, him hugging it tight as if it really was just a very beloved toy. "S-sorry if i'm being rude, i got swept up in the excitement of a fight earlier when i caught a grookey and must have dropped him. he's very important to me. Name's Mark and i also apologize for them being littered all around here, we used to have a secret base here and are just done cleaning it out." with that said he makes to gain some distance to her before talking to dracomon. "you alright?" "I'm fine, she has a very gentle touch.""please keep up the act until we can get you stowed away in the new digi balls, that should keep you all safe... we should have thought on how to deal with people that know pokemon but not digimon much sooner..."<br/><br/>Toni couldn't help the feeling they were having a laugh at her for some secret she wasn't in on, then again she knew secrets quite well, being technically still a boy even if she had long taken on the identity and mannerisms it wouldn't be until she was fully done growing before she even considered the surgery to make the change... and even then she wasn't sure if she wanted that.<br/>shaking that thought off she quickly handed Mark his toy. "they are pretty incredible, must have cost a fortune too" "p-priceless actually, they're prototypes we're testing out, how well they can handle travel and the like." "that's pretty neat. so does Joker know he couldn't scare a toddler with the creepy grin thing?" the boy honestlycame off as trying too hard... well both the younger boys were, Mike and Derek were clearly the adults of the group. When Firis approached however all thoughts were out the window anyways. Especially when she was pulling her in a half hug and towards the grrass fields asif they were on a date. "o-oh, certainly, that sounds great." and sure enough she all but stumbled over a blipbug.<br/><br/>"Ah a Blipbug, you and I are going to be friends. go Squirtle!" she sent out her tough shelled starter as the bug got ready to engage and hit it with a struggle bug.<br/>"hmm, that goes down on special attack and is a bug type move, alright squirtle no fancy tricks, we tackle until i catch it." Shesaw no need for tail whip what with the already likely low defenses on the mini bug and sending out snivy was notthe ebst move here either. a few tackles and received struggle bugs later Blipbug was hanging in the ropes and Toni threw, catching it without further fanfare.
