No one seems to make a move until Louis has meandered away, and before Josh even gets a chance to speak up, the young girl is talking excitedly.
"Wow! Did you see that?!? He threw the Pokeball so fast and the Deino didn't break free!" She walks over to the Pokeball, staring at it, then Adia. "You missed it lady! It was amazing!"
"Um...well, she summed it up better than I could have." He shrugs his shoulders, while walking over to the Pokeball, picking it up carefully. He stares at the bag, then Adia, before taking a deep breath. "Adia...I think you had the right idea." He reaches down and grabs a handful of food with his other free hand, holding it out to her. "...I know you're strong. Give it another shot."
He pushes the food into her hand, then throws the Pokeball to the ground. The Deino reappears and is visibly surprised, quickly turning his head around and sniffing everyone and everything. The little girl flinches, but Josh bends down on one knee, quickly grabbing another handful of kibble, offering some to the girl. She takes it and waits to see what he does, which is rather scary as he bends down and holds out a handful of food to the Pokemon. Learn by experience and watching, they say.
