[Dave gives the Krokorok a jokingly seriously look.] He should listen to me, I got my whole badge collection on me still. [He grins.] But, nah, we'll be cool, promise.

[He listens to Iris's story with vague interest, although all this going on about family is kind of super boring.] Yeah, that's really cool. Lance was a real asshole, I've been looking forward to battling Alder. It was supposed to be, like, a few years from now, after Hoenn even. But, what ya gonna do.

[He looks back to the Krokorok.] Hey, Krok, you wanna stay out of the 'ball or what? Eh, you're not too big, you can just stay out if that's cool with you, bro. Not sure when shit's gonna go down. [Shrug. He looks over to the staircase.] Dude said we're just supposed to go downstairs? They cool with us catching Pokemon in here?
