"For the love of the duality of Aotius and Mutios, please stop with the puns...*sigh*...let's just get this over with already...I'll meet you outside in a moment..."

Nathan has to go to the Time Capsule to grab Charmeleon first.  And then he'll be outside with Swiftfire, ready to teach the move to D-Foretress (Hanael and Azrael learned it earlier).

...or rather, he hands the HM to Ventus to teach it.  Nathan honestly would rather not take this risk himself.

As for the Fire types, there's definitely more...respect from Charmeleon towards Nathan.  And Swiftfire...well...definitely a lot more camraderie.  Kirlia is present as well (as always.  He's feeling a little nervous, but the strong fire types being present helps a lot), but 'Kirlia' is not.

The researcher had zero clue to what Nathan was referring to with his exasperated prayer, but automatically assumed it was two species of important Tandorian Pokémon given the context, and quickly brushed over the boy's reaction with another chuckle.

"My wonderfully balanced array of puns must be too wild and untammed for your tastes, so let's canter off offside and we can forget all about it while teaching the HM Move. A Solid Rock Smashing idea, if I Chatter so myself, so let that plan be so!"

After one last round of ugut achingly terrible FANTASTIC puns, Ventus cut out with the joking and lead the way outside, first patiently waiting for the young scholar to switch out the appropriate Pokémon from the Time Capscle of course. Being keen eye and having highly refined sense of empathy, he was easily able to detect the changes in the moods of both of the Fire types when they were summoned, and in just as short of a time frame deduced that Swiftfire must have been one of the Pokémon involved in The Bonding Ritual. He didn't know exactly WHAT the deal was with Charmeleon's newfound respect towards Nathan, but it was not F'arfetch to assume the boy managed to earn its respect SOMEHOW, sometime while exploring Antheneum. 

In the end, he it was proper to give both the flaming hot Pokémon a friendly smile and a bow of his head in deference to their strengthened bond with their master, and nothing else. Simple respectful acknowledge , and nothing else.

When he Nathan handed over the HM, the researcher's attitude did a complete 180 as he grew serious as a heart attack, nodding his head at them before he summoned Delta Forrestress out in the mindst of all the Fire types (Haniel was sent out to, FYI!), crouched in front of it and quietly told it thus:

"Forrestress, I am about to teach you an increadilbly powerful move, which you are not to use under any circumstance unless I dictate it. If you lash out at either me or anyone else during the teaching of the move or use said Move without permission...…*Motions towards all the wary and trigger happy Fire types surrounding it* ....you'll soon have nothing but burning regrets about your transgressions. The Rapidash in particular knows Inferno, and she isn't afraid to use it against what she deems a sufficient threat. After you are taught the Move, you will be returned to your Pokémon, and that should be the very last time you see me before I give you to another person whom you will find.....more suited to your needs and desires. Understand all that, Forrestress?"

If the agree, they're taught the move and returned with little hassle, return the HM to Nathan's care, before wandering off into Antheneum to 'relax' and await the time its time to leave the WIERD place. If not and/or they fight back, they're getting awashed in white hot flames. 


Their choice?
