Ridge shrugged. At least she knew something. He knew that knowledge in pokegirls could only last as long as they were with their tamers but she had managed to hold on to something. She was scared of him now though. He could sense it in the way she circled him, like she expected him to hit her with water again. He kept his hands free of anything after she snatched the towel from him. He did not want to spook her in any way.<br/><br/>"I'll follow you." he said as he noticed her beginning to get on the stairs. At least these stairs were more solid than the catwalk. He would at least have confidence he was not going to potentially fall off of them. His gaze was fixed on her. She was trying to show him something. That he had at least understood. But what? Did it have to do with his questions? He figured it probably did. He wouldn't have made a bet on it but it was the most likely cause of her current behavior.<br/><br/>He wondered what her potential was in regards to power and evolution. His pokedex was right in his pocket. But he did not want to scare her, so he refrained from checking. If his memory served correctly, TorchChicks were an extremely loyal pokegirl. But their evolution was not as loyal. However, their last evolution their loyalty they had as TorchChicks would return. TorchChicks were capable of a few lower powered fire attacks such as ember and flamethrower though these could be enhanced with the use of focus energy. This one, had obvious experience in fire but he was not sure if she knew focus energy. He would give her either the TM or teach her through regular training if she allowed him to be her tamer. So far she had impressed him. And he expected her to have even more potential that could not be classified with the knowledge of a pokedex.
