He comments before he finally beat his wings, taking off from the ground before flying off in the direction he heard her bolt off in.

"Little devil..."

He grumbled underneath his breath as he took a minute to blink away the blurriness in his vision. He had a vague idea of which way she ran off in, but he'd still give her a minute or two before giving chase.

"She gets ten points for strategy."

He should have expected her to spit fire in his eyes. It was her calling card after all, but this time, it caught him completely off guard. He winced, letting out a hiss of pain while rubbing his singed eyes.

He would have considered it an unfair tactic, but he was flying so... fair enough.

"For that one..."

He said with a small pause as he eyed the object she held in her hand. It was a Kabuto fossil, which, for the region, was extremely common.

"Yes, but the story behind it gives it significance. That was something my cousin picked up."

He was glad to hear that she would be fine with a little bit of a mess. That way, he could get away without doing his usual deep clean of the area. Not that he wouldn't be doing any cleaning at all. He just wouldn't spend the next week scrubbing every surface in his den.

Titania matches his stride length to keep up with Ardere despite being exhausted from her flight from Paldea to Kanto.

Her refusal to stop and rest was entirely her own fault.

"Even if they were a little dusty with dust Lopunnies living under the shelves, I wouldn't fault you. --

Her apology would make future questioning go a lot easier. His mood brightened a little, walking a little faster to show her to one of the guest rooms in his den.

"It's been a while since anyone has lived in this one, but I make an effort to keep them clean whenever I have free time."

While he could probably leave his territory for a day or two, and it would be just fine, he didn't want to separate her from her children over his curiosity.

As for the facility in Alola. He had no reason to suspect it was untrustworthy as he hadn't personally visited it.

"Since it isn't connected to Team Aether, I'm fine with this. Alola is some distance away, though."

Even by flight, it was a long trip in his eyes.

It was a small surprised to hear that Hoenn settled for just a ban and that she actually obeyed it. It felt like something she would have overlooked for the sake of returning whenever she pleased.

It was a large nation with a lot of water. He wouldn't be surprised if she hid out there.

"Mysteries do make the world go 'round, and it would be rather boring if there was nothing to study. Am I right?"

She looked him straight in the eye as she said this. A soft smile had graced her lips.

He nodded as she explained the lack of contact she had with the other members of Team Aqua. While he personally had no love for them, he'd be respectful and let go of his personal opinion regarding their actions.

He could relate to losing contact with someone you cared for.

"Unfortunately, I'm not exactly on speaking terms with laboratories. I allow some humans to ask me questions or to study the area I live in, but I don't enter their labs, and they remain in the land I permit them to enter."

He lightly strokes his chin while she gives her guesses. The second felt like it was more likely than the first. Given his own connection to Groudon and the influence the legendary's scales had on him and his family to this day.

Inside was a stack of pillows and blankets that were almost arranged to resemble a nest. It was how most of his clan preferred to sleep. Luckily, there was a flock of Mareep and Flaffy that grew flame retardant wool.

He explained while gesturing for her to go ahead and take a look for herself.

His entire clan was known to live underground by tunneling and burning holes in the earth. The markings around the entrance proved that to be the case.

"That's correct. Grandmother said our clans used to be close, or maybe she said they still are."

Those black eyes followed him with an almost eerie look to them. Was she sizing him up?

Her attitude toward the status of his immediate and extended family left a lot to be desired. Although the mention of a grandmother and Kantoan clan did inform him that she wasn't the average Charizard.

"The only way to check something like that would be to attempt to reproduce those same circumstances, which I doubt would be possible."

He explained before giving it just a little more thought.

He would have been concerned if she had enough children to outnumber a local ecosystem in such a short time. It was good to hear that they were doing just fine, though.

Some were hot, others were cold. With enough digging and a thorough understanding of hydrodynamics. He had managed to make a decent enough system of plumbing in his den.

Once he had found that spot behind her ears, he'd focus on scratching that spot. He did what he could to fully hammer down the slight bit of anger he felt once he noticed her retreat slightly.

It would probably take him a while to get used to the fact that even his smallest of whims were being read by her. Although any of his more minor thoughts were quickly washed away once the flooded areas of his island were brought up.

Ardere was not an angry person. At least he tried not to be.
