Alright, alright. He watches her battle and takes note of the decisions she makes- man, she really is gonna be a tough trainer when she's older. She's just like her mom.
Well, he won't get anything done like this. What's a Pokémon nearby?...
...Yes. Yes, that'll do. There's a nearby Swablu, and Silver's going to take advantage of it. It won't hurt her ride if he's not directly teaching her, right?]
Alright Weavile, Icy Wind! Restrict its movement! [Take it nice and slow, so she can see what he's doing. The variation Weavile uses this time is ice generated from his claws- he uses it to slash at Swablu's wings and freeze them. ...Gently. They don't want to immediately knock the poor thing out.
Down goes the cloud bird, but it's not out yet. Still, shivers and hesitates to move around.]
[There we go, now she can toss friend balls at the drowsy bird! And hey, she catches it, after a couple tries. She runs over, grabbing it and running back to Silver.]
[But it's time to focus on his daughter. She caught her very own first Pokémon.]
You did great, Blue. A lot better than I did when I caught my first Pokémon. [Instead of hair ruffles, he offers her a fist bump. He's really proud of her.]
[After a while, Silver might find a hidden grotto! It's been disturbed, and there's little shoe prints, so all signs point to Barett being in there.
And he is! He's quietly sitting down, cuddling with a vulpix. There's a warm ray of sunlight peering through the foliage, and it's pleasant and calm and quiet.]
[Okay. Barett takes it, and holds it up for Vulpix to see. The fox sniffs at it, hesitant at first... but Barett recognizes when the Pokémon is okay with being caught and taps the ball gently against its forehead.
[...He really doesn't. It... It reminds him of Yellow.
He should say more, but Barret is still young and doesn't need to worry about anything right now. Besides, with the way he got along with his Vulpix right away...]
[He nods and puts a hand on Barett's head. Headpat.]
A lot of people fight and battle, but that's not all that Pokémon are about. You did really well to make a friend like this all on your own, and you can still grow and learn from each other together.
[Blue puffs her cheeks out, jealous that Barett is getting praise and attention instead of her. Barett just smiles, getting up and shyly hugging his father.]

Go, dad, go, catch your bird too!

Which means it's time to catch his own bird, so he tosses a spare Friend Ball at it (he came loaded with these, okay,) and...
...And he's caught a fluffy bird with his daughter.]

[She lets Murkrow out! Here, Murkrow, daddy brought Oran berries.]
This one's special! His feathers are as bright as my hair!
no subject
It fits, of course. He's very special Murkrow caught by a very special girl.

[She picks up Murkrow, who squirms a little to get comfortable but otherwise stares at its new trainer calmly, before Blue beams.]
Pinky! I wanna call him Pinky!
no subject
...Well, it does go well with his color.]
Just be gentle with Pinky. You two may have a bond now, but he still has to get used to you.

[Well, he's not next to typhlosion, that's for certain.]

But not for long, because he invites Blue over with an open arm. Group hug, guys.]
I'm proud of both of you. You did really well while still being yourselves.
