Lauren breathed an audible sigh of relief as Ron stepped up and defended her. Turning towards her friend, she smiled and mouthed a muted "Thank you."
Heinrich on the other hand looked less than pleased. "Yeah, cuz that's all we need is more trainers who either can't or won't battle for shit!" He chastised the girl. He then turned towards Blake, and said in an arrogant tone. "Hey! G and G."
"Huh?" Blake blinked as Heinrich turned his ire towards him.
"How's about a tag match huh?" He proposed.
Lauren shook her head, and backed away, while Blake scratched the back of his. "I don't know. What exactly is G and G?"
"Goldilocks and Goldilocks." Heinrich laughed. "What else would I mean"?
Zapp growled at Heinrich. That was something the electric eeveeloution did not like, insults.
"Yeah no. To thanks, I'ma stay outta this." Blake said, as he knelt down next to Zapp, and patted the Jolteon's head. A crackle of static being heard as he did so. "I can wait till after." He said to Ron, no longer looking at Heinrich.
"Pfft, fine! Be that way!." Heinrich mocked before turning back to Ron. Any goodwill he may have had, hidden now behind the mask. His eyes practically glowed with hubris.
Pyro meanwhile sized up Furia with a smirk of his own. "Gee, you're awfully cold for a fire type! I wonder if I can make you melt." He said, kneading his paws in the way a human would crack their knuckles.
"C'mon then tough guy! Put your money where your mouth is!" Heinrich taunted Ron.
