As Oscar nodded, Sophia's expression softened into a smile - then turned to a scowl when he started doing his usual thing of lecturing her.

[color=orchid]"Oh, cut out the preaching! I'm fine! I just need some food and some sleep, that's all,"[/color] she huffed. In a way, though, he was right. If she ran into a thug like Hammer, or a member of Team Noble, or even a particularly dangerous wild Pokemon while in this state, things wouldn't turn out well for her. [color=orchid]"And I've got to get stronger. If I don't..."[/color] Her gaze shifted away for a moment, although she knew that even if Oscar didn't see the vulnerability in her eyes, Daisho would probably relay it to him. [color=orchid]"I really won't survive."[/color]

She jumped and yelped, nearly tripping over, having to be steadied by Amber as the Gengar made his appearance. Nyxx, despite being the victim of his little prank, kept her composure, calmly but firmly ordering him to stop.

Pulling back, Sophia glared at the grinning ghost. [color=orchid]"Whew... So it was just you I was sensing,"[/color] she said. [color=orchid]"But that wasn't funny!"[/color] As reassuring as it was to know a ghost hadn't followed the group from the woods, this was the last thing she'd needed while already in a jittery state.

[color=chocolate]"Well, I think the plan is to stay in Mesalon a while longer,"[/color] Amber replied to Nyxx. [color=chocolate]"But we'll most likely head to Vareena some time soon, if you're ok with that."[/color]

She drew back with a gasp as, without warning, a shadow pierced through Nyxx's chest and engulfed her entire body. Once the girl's stern command made it clear she was alright, Amber's shock turned to fascination.

[color=chocolate]"So that's what it looks like, when they sneak up on people from their shadows,"[/color] she commented, only realising when she saw the look on Sophia's face that she'd weirded her out even more. Taking out her Pokedex, she pointed it at the Gengar.

[b]"Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up."[/b]

[color=chocolate]"Ehh... I won't get on your bad side, then,"[/color] she said to the Gengar with a slight nervous laugh. She wasn't too afraid, though. Mistress Hollow did trust this ghost to keep an eye on her daughter, after all. It was anyone who tried to harm Nyxx who would have something to fear. [color=chocolate]"I saw your mother let him out, I figured he was watching over you,"[/color] she explained to Nyxx.

Nearing the building, she cradled the Pokeball containing the injured owl. [color=chocolate]"I'd better go get this Rowlet healed,"[/color] she said, heading into the lobby alongside Sophia and Solanna. [color=chocolate]"I hope it's going to be ok."[/color]

[color=orangered]"And I thought Whimsicott was a prankster,"[/color] Solanna chuckled at the Gengar's antics. Before heading into the Pokecentre with Amber and Sophia, she turned to the others. Three of the group seemed in no fit state to do any travelling. [color=orangered]"There's no rush!"[/color] she told them. [color=orangered]"You'll want time to practice, after all."[/color]

Once her Pokemon were healed, she gave the group her usual bright smile. [color=orangered]"Well, it's time I made a move. But good luck for your journey!"[/color]

She gathered her belongings from her room, handed in the key, then left. Making her way through the lamp-lit streets, she brought out Charizard as soon as she reached the edge of the mesa. [color=orangered]"Ready to go home?"[/color] She petted the Charizard's scaly head and climbed onto his back. The world below grew distant as the winged lizard ascended higher and higher into the sky.

The great thing about flying was leaving everything behind, even just for a while. Even if she did have to land eventually.
