@_PeacefulFury_ He nodded his head, gazing out over the water. “Alone, yes. Trainer went far away, leave Golisopod in Alola.” He speaks about it matter-of-factly, but his body language hints at the lingering sadness. “...is for best, maybe. Golisopod protect small friends here.”
@heartprotector3 “Gruu~” It’s a light-hearted, albeit deeply voiced laugh. “Yes. Golisopod likes pets.” He crouches a bit and lowers his head, assuming the proper affection-receiving posture.
@_PeacefulFury_ He bowed his head to her, slowly repeating back, “Med-i-cham. Is pleasure to meet Cham.” Something about her was so calming that he felt much more at ease. “Alola - very peaceful. Everyone friendly - good energy here.” His eyes swept over her curiously. “You come here alone?”
@_PeacefulFury_ The unfamiliar figure at the shoreline caught his eye, and he watched quietly for several minutes before deciding to approach her.
He crouched in the sand a few feet away, trying to appear non-threatening. “Have not seen you - your kind - before. New here, yes? I - Golisopod.”
@TheSableyes “Gruu-!” It was a sound of amusement, somewhere between a whir and a belly laugh. “Have bad...” He paused, then sounded the word slowly. “Rep-yoo-tay-shun. Others say Golisopod too strong, fight dirty.” One big arm raised in a shrug. “Goli - I - no like fight. Prefer peace.”
@TheSableyes He nodded, lowering his mandible in a big bug smile. “Friend - yes. Many run away, think Golisopod scary. You do not.” One of his shorter forelegs extended to pat the Sableye’s head. “You be Golisopod friend?”
@TheSableyes The big bug nodded, gazing out at the water. “...Golisopod too. Trainer leave. Life outside - not so bad. But lonely.”
He dug his big claws into the sand and shoveled up another pearl for his friend.
“Can teach how to find best food, if friend want. Golisopod good scavenger.”
@TheSableyes He watched the Sableye munch, and chuckled softly as he hugged onto his arm - the little one WAS hungry. “Where is trainer, new friend? Or - is friend wild?”
@TheSableyes He nodded his head, still trying not to fixate on the gemstones - scavenger instincts were hard to shake. “Yes. Shiny good.”
Scavenging! Scratching his claws through the sand, he pulled up a large pearl and held it out. Sableye ate gems, right?
“New friend is hungry?”
@TheSableyes He jolted out of his train of thought, turning to face the newcomer.
“You - not look familiar.” He admired the gemstone eyes for a second, careful not to stare too long. “Shiny new friend! Hello. I - Golisopod.”

🌊 Goli spends a lot of time meditating. It’s how he keeps his temper in check.
🌊 He’s still trying to master the art of language, but being more brawn than brains isn’t working in his favor.
🌊 Goli is @Wimpod_exe’s big brother
🌊 He never goes looking for a fight, but will crush anybody who brings one to him.
🌊 His trainer released him before leaving for Unova as not to separate Golisopod from the homeland he loves. Goli holds no ill will, but does miss his friend.
