At the sound of footsteps, Sophia turned around. The guy who'd fussed over her yesterday was probably also going to do so today. Just great. [color=orchid]"Hmph... You don't have to worry so much, you know,"[/color] she said. [color=orchid]"I'm fine."[/color]

Deep down, though, as annoying as she found the attitude, she couldn't help being somewhat grateful for the concern. She hoped Daisho wouldn't tell him that. If he did, Oscar would most likely think she needed it - and really, there was no reason for him to worry about her. She WAS fine. Or at least, she would be, once she'd done everything she planned to do.

[color=orchid]"Anyway,"[/color] she continued, heading into the cafeteria alongside him, a confident smirk spreading across her face - hopefully a convincing one. [color=orchid]"Today's the day I show the gym leader what kind of battle I'm really capable of."[/color]

Sitting down in the lobby, Amber took out her laptop and started to compile the notes she'd made over the past few days. As fascinating as her observations on Pokemon had been, some of them hadn't quite been what she'd expected - like the incident with the Rufflets.

Surely other researchers would have an idea what could be going on with these Pokemon. She opened up her emails, instantly noticing she had a new one. As she opened it and read through, her heart sank.

Such a positive, cheery-sounding message... such a seemingly impossible one to answer. Biting her lip, she read over the email again.

[b][color=lightcoral]Hey Amber!

Yeah, it's still early days, but just wanted to know, how's everything going? Mom and Dad have been worrying, you know how they can be, but I'm sure you're doing fine! You're so lucky! Tell me all about it!

Just a few years now until I'm a trainer too, can't wait!!

Miss you (as much of a pain as you can be)

Amber stared at the screen, the previous few days' disastrous events replaying through her mind. How on earth was she going to respond truthfully to that?
