Somehow, Shay managed to get herself locked into human conversation. One of her least favourite things to do but she couldn't just let someone get bowled over by a dragon. She expected at least a little hostility, something about trainers being in their city when it was a place of wild Pokemon freedom. So far this woman seemed decent enough. Choros gave her best equivalent of a Jangmo-o smile, and perked right up with the head pats. The Hoppip, Cottonbloom, seemed to warm up to her. There were plenty of them in Johto so she knew how to handle them. Taking a moment to look over the plucky pink Pokemon, Shay could tell they were pretty healthy. Leaves looked verdant and the little guy seemed to enjoy the... well Shay couldn't call them trainers or owners. Persons? No, the security had mentioned something about partners. That was likely the optimal word she would have to resort to.

The bombardment of questions snapped Shay out of her examination of Cottonbloom. It took her a moment to replay the words in her head, just to appear to be paying more attention than she was. "Yeah, that's right. I'm from Johto but I travel around a lot, as Trainers do."

Havoc had been staring at Cottonbloom the whole time, while Choros was happy to play plush Teddiursa for awhile until she saw Cottonbloom's face. Choros took notice of Cottonbloom's conflicted feelings, she wriggled out and climbed up Havoc's head, sitting on top of it to show she wasn't so scary. Shay looked between the two of them, knowing exactly what that look in her Haxorus' eye was for. She turned to the Hoppip. "Don't worry, Havoc won't start trouble, but she'll end it. If you aren't used to seeing one of them, congrats: that's the rarest kind of Haxorus you'll find."

Right, the woman was still asking questions.

"I'm here to see what all the fuss on the news has been about. It's off season for most of the Leagues and I hadn't been here before so... maybe help people out with the... difference of opinions." Shay carefully answered not wanting to offend this stranger.

There were plenty of people around with listening potential. The last thing Shay wanted was to get ganged up on. Not for her sake, but for Havoc's protective nature. She was a stubborn ol' dragon, and one who did not need to start a Pokemon Battle in the middle of the street.
