Skitty needed a friend. That's what he told himself as he trekked through this precarious dust storm to meet with the man who posted an ad to trade. Adrian wanted to know why Jean was insisting on meeting OUTSIDE on a day like this, but perhaps it had to do with some sort of training regimen. After all, from what he snooped about the man on the app he appeared to be some kind of martial artist. What said martial artist wanted with an ekans, he wasn't sure, but Adrian ran into plenty of them when lost in the Hill's of Mishu's estate. With a couple now in his box, he felt confident in making the trade, though maybe a tiny bit embarrassed that he was trading for a notoriously vain cat pokemon.
Perhaps it really didn't matter.
The glameow would live out its days with skitty on the ranch more than likely, rather than actually see much battle...
"Uh, are you Jean?" Adrian asked as he squinted through the dust. "I'm Adrian. Here about the trade for Eir..."
He pulled out the pokeball in question.

Black Belt Jean had the black belt for a reason, and was one of the best fighters in his dojo. He was sure it was because he didn't let something hinder him or get in the way of his training, not even a dust storm or a trade with another trainer. They would have to come to him and he would handle it in his breaks. He was training when Adrian found him, he finished his stretching and turned eagerly to the approaching trainer. This was another reason he was so good, he could think out of the box and see the use in other pokemon than fighting types, they all had so much learning to offer him. "I am!" He bellowed and grinned, he had waited quite a bit on this, his cat had taught him a lot about being nimbly and agile, now it was time she moved on with her life as she found the life with him rather boring. So you have found me a diglett? Wonderful! I am sure I can learn something about speed from them, let me see! He boomed and his smile froze confused when it was not a diglett Adrian offered, but an ekans. He glanced at Adrain and cleared his throat, "I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding. I am trading my Eir away, but I really want a diglett for it," he explained, "Ekans is not really cutting it for me here," he added apologetically. He looked thoughtful for a moment, "I could use an ekans though, I can offer you my Inana, she's a makuhita and a bit too bumbling for my style of fighting, what do you say?"![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) Black Belt Jean is offering you his level 8 Makuhita Inana for your ekans. are you interested?(ooc: Pixel its the pokemon below the upper that the NPC wants for their trade ^^ )

"Oh, sorry...I misread your notice," Adrian apologized, embarrassed. He rubbed the back of his head and considered the little fighting type. He did have two ekans and he did agree to a trade... "Y'know, this works out. Sure, I'll trade for your Inana." Maybe he'd find a diglett he could trade the man for the glameow later. He really did want to find Skitty a cat friend. He offered a slight, awkward smile and his hand to shake on it before releasing the ekans from the ball to show him his offer was genuine. The snake looked a little confused and hissed a bit, uncertain, before coiling up tight. Staring. Had good potential to be a very speedy, intimidating pokemon.
ooc// I COMPLETELY misunderstood. xD I thought it was either of the below for either of the above. But it's fine! Still need one of these little guys for my dex anyway~

The Black Belt enthusiast waited calmly as Adrian thought about the offer, and he smiled broadly when the younger trainer accepted. "Wonderful, your ekans seems to be mighty fearsome, just what I need!" He bellowed and firmly grasped Adrian's hand as they agreed on the trade, he let out the makuhita for Adrian to meet before they exchanged pokeballs, so the other trainer could see it was a good solid pokemon he would get in return. "Let me know if you find a diglett, I am more than willing to trade my Eir for one if you come back later," he promised, that is of course, if no one else had beat him to it. Black Belt Jean couldn't really know if Adrian would be lucky or ever return, so if he got another offer he'd have to accept it. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) Makuhita Name: Inana Gender: Female Level: 8 OT: Black Belt Jean Moves: Tackle, Fokus Energy, Sand Attack, Arm Thrust Ability: Thick Fat or Guts Nature/Personality: Bashful | | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/ekans.png) Ekans Name: [choose] Gender: [choose] Level: 8 OT: Adrian Hartt Moves: Wrap, Leer, Poison Sting Ability: Intimidate OR Shed Skin Nature/Personality: [choose] |

"I'm back."
Adrian approached the blackbelt again, "I'm back. I've got a diglett this time." It wasn't very long since he traded an ekans to this man, but he'd returned again now with a freshly hatched diglett. His little nursery business was just starting out, and after making a deal with another trainer, he was able to get a diglett and then then turn around and breed another. It wasn't very old yet, but surely the blackbelt would see the endless potential!
"Here." He released the little diglett from the ball to show him. "Just what you wanted for your glameow, yeah?" Now skitty could have a feline friend.

Black Belt Jean Jean had taken the opportunity in between trades to get into a Tai Chi flow, and was masterfully flowing from one stance to the next when Adrian's voice was able to break invisible bubble that withheld the martial artist's concentration and focus. "Well well, back again, eh? And you got my little dig a dig?" he asked, watching with excitement as the poke ball opened and the small mole appeared. "Awww, it's so cute! Please, come with me," he said, hurrying over to the trade machine. Both trainers dropped the poke balls into the slots at the same time and the display window showed the transfer. The machine dinged when it was finished, and Jean turned to Adrian. "Thank you so much! Pleasure trading with you," He shook Adrian's hand, hard, and walked away, disappearing into the crowd. ![](http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/diglett.png) Diglett Name: Diglett Gender: Level: 01 OT: Adrian Hartt Attacks: Sand Attack, Scratch, AstonishEM Ability: Nature/Personality: [choose] | | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/glameow.gif) Glameow Name: Clawdia Gender: Female Level: 01 OT: Black Belt Jean [NPC] Attacks: Fake Out Ability: Limber Nature/Personality: Relaxed
