By the time they had reached the docks, Jewel was left slightly behind them, Alex's insistence on keeping his socializing down to a minimum spurred his legs to move quickly. It didn't take Alex long to reach the dock, and unsurprisingly there stood Lock Everret and his assistant Sophie. Alex took the time to admire the creature flying around Lock. It seemed magnificent, and was obviously a rare pokemon of Legend. He knew of it as a Latios, having read about them in books, though he had never imagined he'd see one. With an obvious grimace he walked closer to the docks, and unfortunately closer to the other pair. Clearly Lock's attitude was deserved, he was The legend Hunter, it showed, and though being around such an accomplished, though pompous individual gnawed away at the boy's pride, there was a small amount of awe stuck between the irritation, and anger inevitably drawn out by the man's very presence.

Upon noticing his approach Sophie had come to greet them, Alex however didn't bother with much of a greeting of his own. Though he did manage a small non-committal wave. Thomas however simply stood by watching, casting an occasional glance at the Lucario standing beside Sophie"Unruly is one word to describe him, though I could think of a few more."Alex would not admit that some of these were words such as "powerful", "legendary", and "The perfect obstacle to overcome."

He eyed Thomas for a moment, not exactly interested in a psychic reprimand looked back at Sophie and continued to speak, albeit with a drawn out sigh."But I'll keep those to myself in order to keep things quiet. With that he decided not to say anything more, and merely waited where he stood waiting for the boat to arrive and take him to Aria.
