Nah - Jon doesn't mind different levels of capability when it comes to speech. He's generally pretty quiet himself and being he can talk to most animals and Pokemon and stuff, he knows there's a pretty wide range of communication.

Hahaha, I can see that being very cute. He actually has a soft spot for kids too so he'd probably let her get all the way to like M is for Miiiiltaaaaaank before going 'So. Do you like icecream? How about we go and have icecream.'

Non-battle encounters are fine - especially being Red's team is a much higher level than Riwane. XD But it would be cool to see them meet and chat or what have you.
