Ira shrugs. "Well, I don't have any better ideas. Besides, they probably know the area a little better than us. So, yeah, might as well."

"True, and it can't hurt to talk to the local folks a bit!" Elise added as she walked towards the other trainers.

A quick look about confirms that most- about three quarters- of the people you can see are tourists snapping pictures. But one person nearby seems to be a trainer of some sort; he's rooting around in the grass near a large tree; next to him is a Pokemon you've never seen before. It looks like a Grimer, but it is colored gray and yellow instead of the usual purple, and has two large teeth, giving it something of an idiotic expression.

Ira hangs back a little - it'd be best if they gave a good first impression to the other trainer if they want to learn about things around here, and charm is very much his sister's department.
He look to their new Rotom-Dex and points the pokemon. "Alright, Spookedex, what's up with that Grimer?"

Kane follows his brother's lead, and acts all collected from a distance . . . well to the best of his abilities that is.

"Hey that's a cool grimer. Why's it that color?" Elise greeted the trainer. She thought it looked a little funny, but she didn't wanna insult either the grimer or it's trainer.

Before the boy can respond to Elise's question, Rotom flies between them, saying "Leave it to me!" It scans the Grimer for a moment, and then a picture of the Grimer appears onscreen. Rotom says "Grimer, Alolan Form. The Sludge Pokemon. Grimer were brought in to consume excess waste produced by the Alola Region, but due to the lack of liquid waste that they usually feed on, they took to eating solid garbage. This resulted in their becoming the Alolan variant. Its 'teeth' are actually solidified toxins; it stores its poisons inside these 'teeth,' so it does not produce the same foul stench as normal Grimer. However, these teeth are extremely poisonous." It seems Rotom is correct. The Grimer does not produce a foul stench; in fact, seeing its dopey grin, it looks almost huggable. The boy (who is about your age) stares at the Rotom Dex floating before him. "Uh, I think that thing explained it pretty well. Also, what is that thing??"

Ira sighs. "He means it's a pokedex inhabited by a Rotom. Still not sure how that works, but it's nothing to worr-" He pauses for a moment, thinking. "It's nothing for you to worry about."

The boy tilts his head to the side. "Golly, I've heard of Rotom in your lawnmower and washing machine, but in your Pokedex? That's a new one to me!"

Elise couldn't help but giggle at her younger brothers comment.
"I didn't know that either! But... I guess if a pokédex goes a lawnmower and such shouldn't be too hard."

Rotom says "Yes, it's true!" A picture of a Rotom appears on his screen. "Rotom, the Plasma Pokemon. A Ghost and Electric type. Rotom's body is composed of plasma, allowing it to infiltrate electronic devices to cause havoc. Currently, there are five known devices a Rotom can enter: microwave ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, electric fans, and lawnmowers." An image of each form flashes on screen for a moment. "And then there's me- the Rotom Dex!" It does a little spin and a flourish.

"I told you, I thought you were possessed. You know, with the whole..." He wiggles his fingers, alluding to Kane's ghostly abilities without saying it. He pauses. "I panicked. Still not sure why I thought the washing machine'd help."

The boy clearly doesn't know how to respond to this. Finally, he says "Uh... sure. Who are you people?"

"Soldiers of Fortune! Heros of tomorrow. Ninjas of the night"
Kane makes direct eye contact with the kid, maintaining a stare of intensity as he backs into the bushes to disappear

The kid looks behind Kane. "Uh... y'know that's a thorn bush, right?" Meanwhile, the bored Grimer decides to start climbing the tree, slowly oozing its way up with that stupid grin on his face.

Elise couldn't help but continue to giggle at her brother's idiotic lines.
"Oh don't worry, he'll figure that out." She paused before continuing.
"What our brother is trying to say is that we're tourists." She casually said back to the trainer.
"My name is Elise, pleased to meet you." The young girl politely introduced herself.

Small squees and cries can be heard from the thornbush as he walks out, covered in cuts and thorns. He maintains his superhero gaze while suppressing the obviously not tears
"I'm Kane, Lone wanderer, hero of the downtrodden, fighter of injustice!"

"Ira."
Ira simply nods.
