The man had simply tipped his hat towards Tyler. He wasn't sure whether the strange man was just busy, or whether he thought Tyler was insolent or insignificant. Either way, he had left his mark on Tyler. He'd always seen the Dragon Masters as being some of the best of the best out there. He'd never seen another trainer who looked like his strength was equal of that power, or possibly more. Feeling a little off, he trudged with the group to find the Lab Assistant so Tyler could hand over Zar'roc and the Bellsprout he had. As the Lab Assistant appeared, Tyler took the Bellsrpout Pokeball from his belt and reluctantly picked up Absol's.

"Greeting new trainers! Professor Samuel Oak would like to congratulate on making it successfully to Viridian City. He would also like to thank you for successfully capturing the Pokemon." The assistant said. He pulled out a bag full of empty Pokeballs, then continued... "A few these Pokemon were actually left at Professor Oak's lab. He instructed me to first ask the trainers that captured them if they would be willing to take them along on their journeys." The man looked around. Tyler heard Absol as one of the left-behind Pokemon. He grinned a little and called Zar'roc out of his Pokeball. "Hey, Zar'roc. You can go back to Oak's Lab if you like, but I've been told you can stay with me if that's what you want." He smiled at the white-furred Pokemon. It stared back at him, before smiling slightly and nodding. "Great!" Tyler grinned, returning Zar'roc.

He was still concerned over the mysterious man who had appeared but he felt a lot better knowing he would have Zar'roc by his side on the journey. Still, the fact he could keep Zar'roc was odd. What if Professor Oak had planned this? That said, he was sure if it had been planned, he'd have ended up with a Dragon Type because of his history. Regardless, Tyler had a new friend and strong ally on his team in Zar'roc.

Looking around, he saw Alice and saw that she'd also been given the news that she could keep her Shuppet. "Alice, hey!" He called over, grinning. "We can keep out new members! After the effort that went into catching Zar'roc, I'm glad I can!"
