>>57050334>Hawk (Erikosian Scraggy) (Quiet nature)"Well, it ain't like I *dislike* him, he could stand to bulk up a bit, but I guess I gotta be the one to push him towards that."
>Hawk (After evolving)"We're different species, but we're basically brothers. Ain't nobody putting their hands on him while I'm around, I'll knock their teeth out if they try!"
>Gris (Murkrow/Honchkrow) (Naughty nature)"He's a nice boy, a little hotheaded and easy to trick at times, but that's something I like in humans, mwehehe!"
>Tobias (Noibat) (Lonely nature)"H-He looks k-kinda scary, but h-he's not too bad! H-He p-protects me! B-But he c-can get kinda scary when he battles... He's r-really intense..."
>Tobias (After evolving)"He's the only reason I didn't get turned into someone else's meal. I owe a lot to him. Come what may, I'm sticking by his side."
>Hugo (Slowpoke) (Quirky nature)"He... is good... I like... him..."
>Hugo (After evolving into Slowking)"His heart is shut off to others. I do not blame him, but I know there is greatness lurking under that closed-off veneer. He is an upstanding young man, all he needs is guidance."
>Molly (Piloswine/Mamoswine) (Gentle nature)"I like that guy! He picks out a lot of great berries. Humans never know that I like ganlon berries the most, but he noticed it right away! He always feeds them to me, he's the best!"
>Illuso (Zorua/Zoroark) (Impish nature)"Yeah, I *guess* I like him. He matches my vibe pretty well, y'know? Better than a lot of other trainers, at least."
>Nedda (Gyarados) (Calm nature)The boy has a lot to learn, but he has the strength to pull through. I've seen him take on many challenges, and I am sure he will rise to meet many more. He has a tumultuous, yet bright future ahead of him.
