The room spun as Sophia sank into a chair. She groaned and slouched, one hand pressed to her head, her elbow resting against her thigh. She shouldn't have tired herself out this quickly! Ok, yesterday had a lot to do with it, but still! She shouldn't have gone and lost control twice back then. She should be so much better than this...

"Ita?" Gothita squeaked, climbing up onto the chair. Staryu stood at Sophia's feet, and even Purrloin, still in her sulky mood, glanced over with a "Purr?" of concern.

[color=orchid]"Ugh... It's nothing,"[/color] Sophia reassured her Pokemon, with a twinge of shame about the way she kept worrying them. Looking over the TM, she frowned. How were TMs even used? [color=orchid]"Gothita, how would you like to learn a new move?"[/color] The childlike Pokemon stared in fascination at the disk as Sophia took it from its case.

Gothita gently touched the side of the disk, her body glowing pink for a second as the information it contained spread over to her. Putting away the TM, Sophia checked her Pokedex. Sure enough, Gothita had learned Reflect. [color=orchid]"I'm sure you'll get a chance to try that out later,"[/color] she said, her hand against the Pokemon's back.

Purrloin, giving in to jealousy, slunk over and jumped onto Sophia's lap while Staryu spun up, landing on the chair. Glancing from one Pokemon to another, the trainer thought back to what she'd been considering earlier.

[color=orchid]"Hey... Instead of just calling you Gothita, want me to give you a name?"[/color] she asked. Gothita squeaked her approval. [color=orchid]"How about Lacey?"[/color] A cute name for a cute Pokemon, who appeared to like it.

Purrloin, though, turned her nose up at all Sophia's cute-sounding suggestions. [color=orchid]"Uh... alright then,"[/color] the trainer said, [color=orchid]"Grimalkin. Does Grimalkin work for you?"[/color] Judging by the cat's contented purr, it did.

[color=orchid]"And you,"[/color] she said, turning to Staryu, [color=orchid]"You can be Arcturus. How's that?"[/color] The Staryu's core lit up with a soft glow. Giving a gentle laugh, Sophia pulled all her Pokemon into a hug. Purrloin - or rather Grimalkin - tensed at first, but quickly resigned to the affection and started purring.

Overhearing Oscar's words, Sophia glanced over. Grimalkin and Arcturus jumped down as the brunette stood up, still holding Lacey. She thought of what she'd said yesterday. The guy got on her last nerve every time, but she was going to keep her word. [color=orchid]"I can tell you what I know about Team Plasma, if you want,"[/color] she offered. He'd helped her, so it was only fair she returned the favour.

Solanna's smile disappeared. She'd guessed Oscar may have been looking into something to do with Team Noble, but now he'd confirmed it, she could feel herself freezing up again. [color=orangered]"Uh, well... I don't know much about criminal teams in other regions. I've lived my whole life in Kosei,"[/color] she explained. [color=orangered]"But Team Noble..."[/color] She'd become unusually solemn.

She took a deep breath. [color=orangered]"Not much is known about them. All people really know about are..."[/color] She paused. [color=orangered]"Disappearances."[/color]

At the sound of footsteps dragging against the tiles, she looked over to see Sophia approaching with a Gothita in her arms. As the brunette joined in the conversation, Solanna wondered how to elaborate on what she'd just said about Team Noble. She couldn't hide from the past forever, not when it kept repeating itself.
