[ Ash nodded, clearly listening and taking in Newt's wisdom. He was walking outside as Newt talked, heading towards the shores of Olivine. ] I admit I ain't...I'm a bit of the energetic type myself. But I'll give him space. Should I like, make a room in the house that's like a 'ex-rocket' club only kind of space? I've got a lot of Pokemon so I can't like, constantly try to herd them out of a room if he walks in. Or maybe just a space for the quieter ones to go in.

[ He mussed up his hair. Scuabtuinne had been so different. And speaking of her... ] Talking of that, there's another ex-rocket I need some advice with. I got her a while ago; she was really shy and had her problems but she's never been violent. But, we've hit a slight snag. She's a Lapras and we'd love to go surfing together. She'll tolerate me being behind her but if I touch her back, she loses it. Hold up, let me call her. Scuabtuinne! Can I borrow ya a moment?

[ From the water came Scuabtuinne, with a curious call. She swam to the beach, leaning down and peering at Ash and the Gear. ] This is Newt, I was just talking to him about surfing.
