Can't I at least deny a battle?
Nope. Eye contact equals a Pokémon Trainer battle, and you can't escape from trainer battles!
Ugh, that's great. I guess I might as well catch and train a "Pokémon" if I'm going to be forced to battle.
Mhm! They live in tall grass! I think I saw some just past those stairs when I was flying around.
Do I just shuffle in it?
Oh, sorry! I was just nodding, before realizing that, well...
So it's a yes?
Yep.
Right. I'm gonna go catch a Pokémon, then.
