Vicky smiles, her ego's been stroked. "Of course. Candle, show'm what you've got!"
Her pokemon pulls off similar demonstrations of ember, will-o-wisp, smog, and confuse ray. Finishing it off with a show of trick that somehow ends up with candle holding his notebook.
"Give that back to him!" Vicky scolds her litwick, "It's not yours."

"Astonishing..." Arnold mutters to himself as he repeats the fevered process, turning the page for each new move.
"That's perfect, I owe you one for showing your stuff-" Arnie is panicked to find his book was missing after the last trick (trying not to let it show, but he's no cool cucumber), then to find it in the hands of a fire pokemon.
Vicky's words helped his heart clime down out of his throat, and his heart rate settled into a normal rhythm as he received his book back from Vicky who in turn got it from Candle. "Your raising him/her quite well, thanks again."
Clutching the book closer to him, he explains, "I'm studying moves, and I can, well, I can teach them to pokemon. So if ever you need something like that we can talk about it."
Moving to tuck away his book he thinks better of it and begins to take notes on the Boardwalk area on a page in the back of the book.

Realizing he had sidetracked to Candle's display, he put his pencil down and turned his attencion the the newcomer with the odd speech pattern. He began to fiddle with his necklace as he addressed him. "Sorry, I get distraced some times when pokemon are displaying move, see it kind of my thing, I'm studying-" realizing that was not the point, and he might start to ramble, he centered himself, moving forward, extending a hand, "My name is Arnold, pleasure to meet you."
Pulling out similar paperwork to that mentioned, "it seems that yes, we'll be working together, are you from around here?"

Corbett lightly taps the back of arnie with his gun
"We were ordered to be discreet about discussing our employer. Perhaps we shouldn't speak about it so blatantly out here in the open."

"What employer?" Vicky asks with a wink, "All I meant was that we were going after league challenge together right? That's all I was talking about."

Corbett nods to vicky to affirm the implied meaning
"I look forward to participating in league battles with human companions. I don't usually associate with those"

"I'm Vicky. Soon to be the best of the best, hopefully, maybe, probably. Under threat of smiting, it's complicated." She rambles.
She breaks out of her train of thought, "Oh what's your name?"

Corbett straightens up into a salute
"Self appointed Private First Class Corbett at your service ma'am. I'm here to assist the unit and make sure everyone gets home safe."
There's potential sparkles in his serious demeanor

Feeling uncomfortable about being tapped with a gun, Arnie steps away from Corbett, folding the papers hastily back into his bag, showing his empty hands Palm's up. "Hay, I didn't say anyhting... just... hitting the league together." With a smile, "how about holstering that thing?"

Corbett returns the obnoxiously long rifle to its holstiered position behind his back
"At ease citizen. It's a paintball rifle. Non lethal. You're in no real danger"

Relieved and now curious, "So, what do you use if for then? Pleasure or other? Maybe both?"

"Hunting primarily. Me and my pokemon work as a team to track our targets, flank them, and bring them back alive. We aren't the killing type"

"Sounds like you have seen some interesting combatants. What's your ammo? You mentioned, you huntil alongside your pokemon, who are you traveling with?"

Corbett's eyes sparkle with anticipation. He drops his bag and furiously starts whipping out various containers filled with different colored paintball pellets of various sizes.
"These blue ones are 68 cal GXG Z-foam that are best for target practice, while the hot pink .43 Patrikovs are traditional paint that leave a strong sent so my pokemon can easily see and smell the targets! The .56 black rubber pellets are for badguys, and are generally nonlethal, but if used by the wrong people can easily blow out an eye. Oh that's right! I have two pokemon with me"
Corbett then releases Noibat and Growlithe. Noibat comfortably perks himself on top of Corbett's head while Growlithe eagerly sniffs everything in the immediate vicinity
"The noibat is radar. He acts as my eyes in the sky. The growlithe is fang and works as my tracker and frontline!"
Corbett then continues to eagerly describe how cool every aspect of his gun, ammo, and pokemon are until he is stopped.

"I've never seen a Noibat before, is he Flying/Poison?" Arnold looks from Radar to Fang, admiring the Growlith's shimmering coat as it sniffed about. He was excited to see what these new team members can do, but didn't want to come across over eager.
Reaching slowly to point at the pink pellets, "These smell then," sniffing to see if he could detect anything through the shells, "can Fang track these, and if so, would you mind if I held onto one, you know, just in case?"

"Radar's a flying dragon actually. He's very powerful, and so is Fang. He should have no trouble keeping track of one of these. Watch"
With Fang distracted with his frantic sniffing, Corbett quickly loads a pink pellet, steadies his rifle, and fires at a distant barrel roughly 10 M away. Fang's tail perks up as he starts sniffing the air, and after a bit of investigation, he manages to track down the barrel and begins growling at it. Corbett whistles him back.
"See? He's a genius. I don't mind you having a pellet, just in case. Just know that it doesn't give off the scent until you break it, and once it's broke, it's pretty rancid"

"That seems like a really great idea! We should all take one."
