It's somewhat judgingly that Ash looks at Gary, eyes now narrowing as he remembers just how tall the other was. Ash was pretty big himself -- he was half serval, everyone knew that much. But seriously. And anyways, Ash had been planning to leave Pallet for ages to get stronger. "Well, obviously!" Ash says, all that brashness of his shining through like some sort of beacon. Ash wasn't all that articulate to begin with, but Gary just sort of. brought it out a lot more. Really, he and Gary brought the worst out in each other -- that or their inner child. Probably child. Or maybe both?
In any case. Pikachu, still on Ash's shoulders, of course, offers a squeak and a wave at Lunae and Gary's greetings. Then, promptly, the little yellow Pikachu scampers father up to settle between Ash's ears. Ash, as per usual, doesn't even respond beyond the slight shifting of weight.
"Well I joined the Typhoon. They're pirates, it's cool!" Ash says, a little smugly. He may not agree with all of their morals, like stealing, but that didn't mean they weren't still cool!! ... though, Ash still had to get actually get to know them, eventually instead of just. Not being in camp at all. Oops. "I'll probably only be there long enough to train, though," Ash shrugs. The group seemed strong enough, and he'd love to form connections, but he wasn't gonna be there forever. There was a reason he left Pallet, after all. And why he was here instead of actually doing stuff in the Typhoon.
