[color=orchid]"So there's one thing we agree on,"[/color] Sophia replied. She knew Lan had been trying to help, but did he have to do so in such an irritating way? Throughout the entire battle, he'd spoken to her like she was a child. As if that was going to boost her morale any. Well, she'd show him next time. She had to. [color=orchid]"What did you do?"[/color]

The Normal-type gym leader didn't get on her nerves as much as Ray did, though. Even so, she'd have to talk to him if she wanted to improve. Not just improve, she thought with a shudder, but survive.

As the young trainer looked at her and Aedre as if deciding whether or not to trust them, Amber knew she'd probably gotten a little overenthusiastic. [color=chocolate]"I research Pokemon,"[/color] she explained after Aedre's introduction, her tone much calmer. [color=chocolate]"Specifically battle styles. That's why I was curious."[/color]

Her attention settled on the Maractus again. [color=chocolate]"Edea? Nice name. I heard they use songs and dances to drive away birds, so it makes sense they incorporate them into battles."[/color]

Looking back at the trainer, she asked, [color=chocolate]"And what's your name?"[/color]

[color=orangered]"Really, I'm ok,"[/color] Solanna insisted, stroking the fluffy little Pokemon. Although her breathing was more or less even, her words still came out slightly shaky and strained. [color=orangered]"Are you?"[/color]

She kept her protective grip around Whimsicott. Apart from the missing memories, she and her Pokemon had been unharmed, but what had been the motive behind the kidnapping? The worst thing was not knowing.

She listened for more of Hammer's shouts, and when none came, peered around the corner. It seemed Ray had scared him off. Despite her relief, the thought that she'd once have been able to defeat someone like Hammer brought a twinge of guilt. Why hadn't she helped these people? That trainer she used to be... Where had she gone?

[color=orangered]"Never a dull moment, huh?"[/color] she said as she re-entered the lobby. Oscar was at one of the PCs, and Sophia stood by the door, talking to a girl with similar injuries. Solanna wondered with a shiver just how many people had been involved in the attack. [color=orangered]"Everyone alright?"[/color]
