"What I do best.." He smiled
"Make people angry...like that bozo Archie from Team Aqua.." He winked.
Sloane watched as Max made his way to the box where the guy making the announcements was standing. She couldn't help but smile a little as Max ushered himself onto the box and took the speaker from the guy. Max introduced himself and Sloane had to admit, she was quite impressed by his credentials. Given the mumblings from trainers around her, he was quite well known for these accomplishments. And Max mentioned Sloane, and all the amusement she had felt mere seconds before drained right out of her.
Sloane paled considerably. She was going to test the bridge? Oh no. No no no! Up to thus far, Sloane had barely made it through most of the challenging battles she had faced. How in Kanto did Max expect her to live up to the reputation he was setting up for her? Suddenly keeping out Parashu made quite a bit of sense. Max smiled at Sloane and if his goal had been to tick people off, he had done well. Sloane wasn't too happy.
When Max returned to her side, she gave him an "are you crazy!?" look but didn't say anything. Instead, Sloane merely shifted her weight off her walking stick and slung it over her left shoulder. Cocking her head high and straightening a little, Sloane feigned confidence, giving any who cast a glance her way a demeaning glare. Sloane inwardly laughed at herself. The Kimono Girls would not be pleased to know she had already mastered their signature stare that always scared their trainees into doing their chores.
