[color=ADD8E6][b]"I would love to, I think we will be a great team!"[/b][/color]

Mana became slightly relaxed after hearing that and smiled. She may have lowered her guard against Eric, but she still doesn't trust him one bit. [color=a2d39c][i]Maybe a little bit...[/i][/color] Her thoughts contradicted each other. It's not like his Pokemon have done anything hostile in nature after all. Mana paused for a moment before taking steps closer to Eric. 

[color=ca70ac][b]"I couldn't help but overhear you were planning a group,"[/b][/color] another individual spoke out after approaching them. He was a tall and slightly intimidating man who wore traditional clothing. Mana practically flailed her arms, startled from his sudden appearance. [color=ca70ac][b]"If you have no objections, I would like to join too. I'm Yūrei."[/b][/color]

Mana would have been alright, but after connecting eyes with his Pokemon, she returned to her place against the wall with a 10 feet distance between them. Not only that, but she felt a strange presence coming from behind him and shuddered a bit.

[color=a2d39c][b]"Ahem, hello Yūrei. It's nice to meet you, I'm Mana and this is Eric."[/b][/color] She felt a bit strange introducing the both of them and glanced toward Eric to allow him to answer Yūrei's question. But even before that, she felt chills again from the ghostly aura.
