Rydia was visibly relieved by the boy's comment. "Oh, I'm so glad! I couldn't bear the thought of ruining someone's day. If she wouldn't mind, then I'd certainly appreciate a place to stay."

Rydia struggled to order her thoughts at the sudden onslaught of questions. "Uhm... Uh... I met Malorne while I was in Unova, so we've been together about 4 years? I don't think they're all as big, I didn't meet all the sawsbucks, but Malorne was the biggest one I met. I think pokemon come in different sizes, like humans, but I'm not fully sure...." At the last question, however, Rydia's face brightened. She knew how she could pay him back for getting him in trouble. "Would you like to ride Malorne for a bit?"

The sawsbuck was immediately disgusted by the idea of giving a human he had just met a ride and he looked to Rydia to express just that, but his expression softened when he saw her pleading look to him to allow it. Fine.
