<div align="center">Ilex Forest<br/>Julian and Lusa</div><br/>Julian was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he only noticed the whirling of the bike a few moments before it's rider skidded to a halt, and the spider on her back went sailing in his direction. Acting quickly with honed reflexes, he was able to shift himself and actually catch the green insect rather smoothly, something that some might find surprising if they didn't know him. Julian may not have been a particular master of martial arts, but he was a firm believer that he himself needed to be physically powerful if he ever wanted to set those kinds of expectations of his Pokemon, so he started looking into a few basic classes about a half a year or so before he left home. It was unrefined and underwhelming, but it was a start at least.<br/><br/>With the Spinarak in his hands, he would walk up to Lusa and offer it to her. "Here... I believe that this belongs to you." This would happen rather or not the Spinarak was actually moving on it's own, meaning that he cared little about the fact that it was an actual Pokemon. Him being a trainer himself, he saw little reason to be swayed one way or the other by the sight of the creature itself, but then again, Mac was still nice and tucked away in a pocket hidden from sight, so Lusa likely wouldn't know that Julian was a trainer just from looking at him. "What are you doing going through the forest, anyway? It's become a rather dangerous place of late, you know."
