[Seth Silvester]

Sweat ran down the nape of Seth's neck, stopping only as it was absorbed into the collar of his shirt. He was not a fan of the Blazed Dunes and out of all of the training and exploring of the island he done lately, this was one of his least favorites. The sweat had started early on Seth as he marched forward. Whenever he spoke to his wards about this place he would always warn them to pace whatever amounts of water they bring with them during their trips. Staying true to his own advice, Seth kept a keen eye on his water supply. 

Pausing for a moment, Seth ran the back of his hand across his forehead. He was seconds from reaching for his canister when he saw it. The man froze. Off in the distance sand billowed in the air as something raced towards him. He quickly reached for his pokeballs.

"Let's see what you can do, Cain," Seth called, releasing his new Wartortle out into the desert. His pokemon nodded its head as it stood between Seth and the charging foe. The billowing stand blocked them from seeing what it was. What pokemon would make this much commotion, Seth wondered as his teeth ground together. He was starting to feel uneasy with only Cain between him and the oncoming dust. Perhaps he should get Ozymandias or Sonnet? They would protect him without hesitation...he didn't know Cain as well as he knew them.

As if sensing his doubts, Cain turned back and gave his master a reassuring look. It seemed to be in the Wartortle's nature to want to protect. It was as if he was some kind of knight from a child's story. Seth's hands bunched into a fist as the attacking pokemon closed the distance between them. Fifteen feet...ten...five.. "Water Pulse!" Cain fired off shots of circular pulses of water that hit the dust cloud and stopped the charging pokemon instantly. Seth squinted as the dust settled and something tottered out of the dirt.

"A...Dwebble?" He questioned, holding back a bark of relieved laughter. The hermit-like pokemon teetered on its claws as it tried to rush at Cain, managing only to hit itself in the confusion caused by Water Pulse. "Oh my..." Seth sighed, his heart warming for the helpless Dwebble. It wasn't terrifying. Just, frankly, cute. "Okay, very lightly, Cain, I want you to a small Water Gun. Let's weaken it before it hurts itself."

Seth had no use for a pokemon like this. It didn't fit his team or his ascetics, but it was too cute. Too silly. Too...dorky. He had to have it now.

The Warden sighed, hoping none of his wards found out about this.
