We're painted red to fit right in Now that did bring a slight frown to Elinda's expression, the change easily visible to anyone close enough to get a good look at her face. If nothing else it was due to the fact that Gozubura's account brought to mind less than pleasant memories of her home region and much of the reason Aggron was currently back in Hoenn, why Metang still wasn't quite himself yet. But Gozubura had mentioned he'd come from... Kalos? As far as most regions went it was rather tame as far as crime was concerned, at least publicly. The last major incident that had brought the entire region under threat was the emergence of Team Flare, but as far as Elinda was aware that crisis had already come and gone. A simple accident? Maybe, incidents powerful enough to significantly wound stronger Pokemon were not a common occurrence, nor did it explain why they would've been out of their Pokeballs and left vulnerable in the first place. Regardless, it wasn't something Elinda felt she had the right to pry any further into. As powerful a thing as curiosity was the veteran trainer knew full well how she'd likely react to people asking about her past and some things were just better left buried. It was fine to use those events as learning experiences, but they were ill suited to be the constant focus of every day. Life continued forward, and those that didn't keep up were inevitably left behind. Gozubura seemed to understand that quite well for someone his age, and the assertion that the rest of his team would rejoin him at some point later on just reinforced the idea that it was a temporary but well earned rest. "We'll have to arrange for a rematch when they've recovered and returned to your side, then. One of my own is still in Hoenn for much the same reason, with any luck they'll be back with me by then, too." Elinda started, a more neutral if somewhat pleased expression returning to her face as she turned to continue on her way to Shaula. That'd be an interesting fight if nothing else - she'd already been of the opinion that the boy outstripped his current Pokemon in terms of ability, and that was a rare thing. More often than not it was the other way around, but with Pokemon able to match his experience Gozubura was liable to become an extraordinary trainer with time and experience. As she was walking, though, the sound of Gozubura's voice calling out to her made Elinda pause mid step and look back, blinking. Oh. Right. Not everyone had or used PokeNavs. Those were fairly unique to Hoenn. "Elinda Aspen, and more years than I really care to remember. If I had to put a number to them, though... I think about twenty five now, give or take?" Elinda answered, pausing a moment to mentally count up the time passed in her head. Had it really been that long? So many of the memories felt so fresh, but at the same time so much had happened that the passage of time certainly felt believable. Metang - Level 20. Take Down, Confusion, Metal Claw, Magnet Rise.
