[ Well, this sucks. Pinned in by a cute chicken pokemon! He smiles and reaches out to pet it quick before he leaves, but the sound of a booming voice right behind him spooks Rhys so bad, he jumps in place. Almost out of his shoes, actually. He spins around, arms up and everything, and oh yeah there's the psycho and he knows who Rhys is. Cool! ]

[ Have a smile. A very, very strained smile. ]
