Everyone's all over the place and it's impossible to keep a constant watch on them. You merely dismiss and label his sudden invisibility as him just resting or munching on a berry in some other field, out of your vision.
At this point, Serena calms down from her little rush of excitement and joins you and a few other Pokemon for a get-together under one of the village's shacks. Using a resident Snorlax as a table, everyone present joins in a toast.
Don't worry, it's apple juice. It's always apples with you.
"Hoo hoo!" cheers Noctowl, "I've never seen so many happy faces before! Kudos to you, er, Caleb and Serum, was it?
You almost spit out your apple juice upon hearing that error. Forcing it down with a coughing fit, you shake your head, "U-Uh, Calem and Serena, sir. And thanks, it's just the kind of thing I do. These guys are all lonely and in need of care, and well shit, it's hard to not feel sorry for them, y'know?"
Serena takes a sip of her glass before correcting you, "Calem, they're not completely alone, they have each other to talk to."
"Oh yeah, sure. A bunch of gloomy people interacting with each other on a daily basis without a happy soul in sight, that's sure to get some spirits up!"
A Banette present at the shack raises his glass, "Meehhhh, all I've known my whole life was that trash can my trainer abandoned me in. Then that giant tree picked me out, and y'know what? I'm feeling pretty good! It's just like you've been saying all these years Noctowl--sunshine DOES feel good, and this liquidy stuff ain't that bad either!"
A) "I hope you don't have any ill will toward that trainer. Do you?"
B) "Talk about a real Oscar the Grouch amirite?"
C) A Garbodor testifies his newfound positivity.
D) Gothie Coffee speaks up.
