Listening to her explanation about her Totodile he learned that he may have an easier time at this than he had originally thought. "Are all your pokemon female?" he asked her hoping she would understand the reason for his question. Although he could use Thomas who would have a much harder time fighting but he said that he would use Paul. When she taunted Paul saying she would give him one of her eggs if he did win, he spoke up saying (Don't bash Paul what did he ever do to you? Plus how is a pokemon that could compete against the Elite Four weak? And if you're putting your eggs on the table then Ill have to put my Beldum and Ariana's Eggs on too only fair" he said as he headed outside with her as he let her lead him to where she wanted to fight.
