[Lord Windos]

"Ventus, I would not release a dangerous Pokemon to anyone who did NOT show evidence of their qualifications. Your skill with the Dragons definitely qualifies you, though of course you must still be careful, please! I was told how you handled your Arbok, and I'd like to see your skill with Noibat before you go. Maybe just a quick one-round battle between Noibat and my Chansey."

"Assuming that goes well, your offer is more than generous! I'd like to counter with this: 6 eight hour days serving at the Shelter. You'd have one day off in that week. Whenever you please. I'd have you doing anything from menial chores like cleaning all the way to counseling attempts with some of our patients. And please do contact Mallorn for us, though I hear he is very self-serving when it comes to Pokemon and business."

Director's North's firm conviction and earnest warning caused the empath's smile to widen just a bit, pleased with the caution and care that laiddened both responses, and he nodded in affirmation to their idea of a mock battle demonstration. "Well said, my friend, well said! As with every Pokémon that I have had the privilege to study and my own, I'll pay the utmost respect and attention to Kingdra, and strive not only to satisfy its needs as a proud Dragon type, but will teach them how to afford the same to others that he might consider lesser than himself! You have my word on this, North. I would also delighted to engage in a quick round of combat with between my Niobat and your Chansey, as he just loves to make new friend of all kind, no matter who or what they are. Well, except wild Pokémon that try to harash or harm us, of course!"

Upon hearing the Shelter head's counter proposal, an even wider grin broke across Ventus' face, and the reached over to extend his hand for a handshake. "Deal. I can begin effective immediantly, or whenever you think would be the ideal time. Will I be introduced to the other volunteers and staff of the shelter and work closely with them, or will I work independent of the others for the most part in my assigned tasks? Dr. Mallorn's....frugalness is well known to me, but I should be able to convince him to give you a fair price with some persuasion and needling on my part. If I was able to have him obtain several research visas for me, clear me past Cheshire's stringent immigration/travel laws and cover the cost of my flight here, I should be able to arrange a good deal on the Shelter's behalf, especially for such a oddity!"

Order: Agree to North's deal, and ready to begin my Round of Combat against Chansey with Lucifer! He'll be using Screech as his first action, and then two Gusts no matter if he goes first or second, with a conditional evade if Chansey tries to land Status attacks on them! Let's prove that Ven really 'treasures' his Dragons!
