"Alright guys, come on out!" Ash said, having transferred the Pokemon back to the Poke Balls, realizing that trying to herd them all down to their present location would've been way too much of a hassle.

Ash had dragged the team to a clearing in the city for one thing, and one thing only: To find out if their time in the pods had affected their strength and power at all. It didn't look like it, but it'd be good to at least confirm that.

Besides, it'd been ages since he'd really trained with most've 'em, and Oshawott still needed more training regardless. And it might be good for the otter to see how some longer-trained Pokemon fought.

"Pikachu. You're up. I wanna see ya hit me with an Electro Ball!"

Pikachu saluted. "Pikaa-pikaCHOW!"

Ash gave a thumbs up. "Yup, we're training."

Shoutarou stares for a moment before he pushed the belt's buckle back to its default position and removed the memory, causing the armor to fade away.

"They're Pokemon." Ash said, proceeding to introduce all of them.

"I see..."

Shoutarou pulls his hat down a bit, then clears his throat. "Well, um. Sorry to be a bother, and sorry about the mix-up. I'll, uh...be on my way then."

"Nah, it's fine. I'm Ash, by the way," was the final introduction.

"Ah, I'm Shoutarou Hidari. Nice to meet you and your, ah, friends," he said, looking back at the boy and his monsters.

"Nice to meet you to. What was with the whole weird armor thing you did?" he asked curiously.
