"It's been a lot of fun," he would sign back, glancing down at his side to make sure his kids were keeping up. The Aron seemed to be trying to play with them while they walked. Morgana wanted nothing to do with it, and eventually pawed at Max's leg, leading to him hoisting her up into his arms. Magnus, however, was playing a game of catch-the-tail, or something, with the Aron. It was really cute, actually.
"I'm hoping we can find something other than just Grass and Bug," he would sigh one handed, and wrinkle his nose a little. They weren't bad Poke'mon, persay, but... If he was to catch more of his own, he wanted more that had a bit... More to them. If that made sense?
As they continued to walk, a wild Pidove suddenly started to swoop at them. Max's eyes went wide as Morgana let out a little bark, Magnus jumped up in an attempt to bite its tail as it passed, and the Aron stumbled into the back of his legs, making him pitch forward. A soundless yelp would pass his lips as he stumbled and regained his footing, just in time to see Mothra jump up and bat the Pidove from the air. It seemed stunned for a moment, and the little Aron at Max's side - possibly in order to try to prove itself - rocketed forward to try to hit the Pidove. Both fortunately and unfortunately, Oliver chose this point to huck a research ball at the Pidove.
In the moment it was captured, the Aron tumbled past and headbutted directly into a tree trunk. It was clearly stunned now too, making Max jog over to check it, but it was otherwise unharmed. The Pidove was caught, which made Max give Oliver a thumbs up, before putting Morgana down to check to make sure the Aron wasn't really hurt.
