Jake argued with himself for a moment after Brollem actually directed him to where some work was needed to be done. In the end, he went along with it.  He would have all night to sleep, and he probably needed some basically mindless manual labor to probably work off some of the stress that the hotspring had missed.  He could pass out later when he had the time and be dead to the world even quicker with some more exhaustion.  It would work out just fine.<br/><br/>So he went where he was told and started to get to work on setting up for the festival.  He glanced at Lydia as she joined them.  “Yeah, a hot bath can work wonders on a person.”  He agreed while helping them get the wooden poles into place so the old man could hammer the nails into them to hold them.  They finally got one side done together.  Though at her comment about bringing one of her pokemon tout to help, he thought about his own.<span style="color: green">“Heh, At least you have some that would help.  One of mine wouldn’t really listen at all.  And the other would just find ways to make some trouble.”</span><br/><br/>The next side Jake moved around to the far side and started to put it together with Lydia.  He took the hammer and nails that were required and started putting it together as Brollem instructed.  He kept that up with Lydia and Eleyna until a distraction happened.<br/><br/>He paused with the rest of them as Growlith was actually noticed.  Even he couldn’t ignore when it seemed to challenge the old man’s Primeape.  And the chain of events that happened.  He turned to Lydia as it was obvious a battle was about to happen.  Especially as a lot of the others started to leave<span style="color: green">“This seems like a good place to take a break.  I'm going to go watch the fight.”</span><br/><br/>After a moment Jake started to walk to follow before finding somewhere to sit and watch.  Before the battle started, after hearing the conversation, Jake actually summoned his newest Pokemon.  The Bulbasaur.  He had still been not exactly cooperative.  This could be a good lesson, this show.  So they both ended up sitting there to watch.<br/><br/>It was a good thing that they both watched.  Immediately upon the fight starting, Bulbasaur watched the fight intently.  The growlith was stronger.  He should win… but he couldn’t miss the detail of the primeape getting commands from the old man, and how that changed the flow of the fight.  Jake was trying to use the fight as a lesson to the formerly wild pokemon.  As a show as to why fighting with and listening to someone would be a great benefit.<br/><br/>The end of the fight wasn’t all that unexpected.  Growlith lost, and there was very little chance he would have one by shunning every command that Eleyna gave.  Soon after he walked back after putting Bulbasaur back in his pokeball.  He rejoined Lydia at the setup area.<span style="color: green">“Indeed.  Though it is only a sorry sight when the pokemon belongs to a trainer.  It is to be expected from wild pokemon that have little reason to listen to a trainer…”</span>he said, but did not respond to her comment about the trainer being weak.  At least not right away, even though he had to agree.  But Eleyna was a friend…<span style="color: green">“A bit of a harsh way to say it… but true… even though I am not sure I would want to say that to her face… she doesn’t seem the type to take it well…”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
