Sean looked at JC and shook his head, all the while scratching Blue's head for a second. "No, I fear that Blue or your other Pokemon are too experienced for Joltz, who needs an opponent who is around the same experience level. Or else a single attack, no matter if it is held back or not, would be like mopping the floor with him. Plus, I'm pretty sure he would like to have fun battling. Battling a Champion's Pokemon would be too much for him to handle. Hell, we only got halfway through the Kanto's Gym Challenge. He isn't that strong, yet," he then had an idea and looked back to Joltz. "Joltz, who do you choose?"
Joltz looked at JC and then Storm. He could smell the experience radiating from JC. If he were to battle JC's Pokemon, it would be an honor, but he did want to have fun battling and get all this lightning exercised out of him. He looked to Storm, who smelled... Almost sweet to him. He couldn't understand it, but he liked his scent immediately. Plus, it didn't smell like he had oodles and oodles of experience on him.
Joltz looked to Sean then to Storm. Arboria mewled in agreement. She had liked Storm when she met him. She walked over to Joltz and smiled for the first time today. Joltz smiled happily and barked at Storm.
Sean had actually noticed the look that Storm gave him and a faint blush creeped along his cheeks before vanishing. He was caught off guard by the look, stuttering a little but quickly regained himself. "Y-yea, it's fun. I mean, battling would be. I mean-" he stopped himself before he made himself look too much like a fool. He then started over, taking a deep breath as a light chuckled escaped as he exhaled. "Yes, battling would be fun. Sorry, JC. I know you would like to battle Joltz, but your experience would be a bit much for him." He sheepishly apologized, but regained his composure shortly after. Although, he did feel frightfully terrible for having to choose between two people.
