Ajax steps out of the Pokemon Center with a languid stretch, arms raised high above his head before he relaxes with a soft exhale. His Vaporeon weaves between his legs, almost tripping him in its excitement. He simply crouches down with a smile, petting it's head. "Bored already? Come on, we just got done training; Samurott and the others probably won't want to entertain you."

Dejected, Vaporeon's head droops as much as it can without actually going out of range of it's trainers caress. Ajax sighs again, standing. Well, now that he was just about done here as he's obtained the gym badge, he might as well get started on... Scanning his surroundings, Ajax's deep blue eyes suddenly light up as he spots a familiar face in the distance; yours. He quickly jogs over, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Hey! Fancy running into you here," Ajax greets warmly, Vaporeon bounding along beside him. Occasionally on your own respective journeys you'd run into each other ever since you both departed your hometowns, and he'd challenge you to a battle every time. Today was no different.

"What do you think of having a quick battle with me? We can do a best of three!" Ajax takes a few steps back, already readying himself excitedly. He didn't mean to be insistent or anything, he just.. Missed seeing you, and this was how he expressed that. "Pleaase?"
