"Wha--old? Seriously? Why do I always get stuck dealing with brats?"

Zelos was distinctly unimpressed. Though of course he could probably fly up the tree to pick the small Pokémon up, he wasn't planning on showing off his wings for a bunch of kids.

For now, he called Seles out to spray water in their faces. Hopefully that'd deter them without actually hurting them.

"I said 'scram'."

He kept her close to him, of course, ready to intervene in case the kids turned on her next.
