Leaning against the door frame, Sophia turned and scowled. Glad as she was that Oscar was alright, she'd expected nothing less than this kind of overconfidence from him. She couldn't look after herself? Seriously? For Arceus' sake, she wasn't THAT exhausted... She stood up straight, only to stagger as the room lurched.

[color=orchid]"Ugh... How very typical of you,"[/color] she muttered. Glancing from the unconscious girl to Rheese, she sighed. It was a bad time to let this develop into a full blown argument. [color=orchid]"But fine. Deal."[/color] With not just an Arcanine, but a Leafeon, it seemed Oscar would have a good chance. Which, while envy-inducing, was oddly admirable. She watched the newly-evolved Nomia nuzzle Skoll, and her expression softened. For all his faults, Oscar knew how to raise happy, friendly Pokemon.

With another look at the girl on the floor, Sophia bit her lip. [color=orchid]"She's going to be ok, right?"[/color] she asked the group surrounding the girl. She wished she could help, but at least Amber, Ty, Medic and the others seemed to know what they were doing. Staggering back inside, she approached Oscar. [color=orchid]"There's also something I've got to talk to you and Saki about,"[/color] she told him, voice lowered. [color=orchid]"Some information I found out."[/color] Out of concern for Rheese, she projected the last part into Oscar's mind. [color=orchid][i]"About Team Noble."[/i][/color]

She winced, closing her eyes against surroundings that shifted in and out of focus as if she might faint. A squeak cut through the dizziness. "Ita!"

[color=orchid]"Lacey..."[/color] Holding out an arm to keep her balance as she swayed, Sophia looked down at those fearful blue eyes. [color=orchid]"It's nothing. It'll pass."[/color] Dammit, she needed to stop worrying her Pokemon like this.

Amber turned and sighed. As much as she wanted to reassure Sophia, she couldn't be sure how serious the girl's condition was. [color=chocolate]"Medic here's doing a good job,"[/color] she replied. It was all she could say for certain.

That was when she noticed something else was wrong. Amongst the gathering of trainers, two people were nowhere to be seen. Alexis and Deneb.

[color=chocolate]"Just a moment..."[/color] Stomach sinking, Amber stood up and hauled her backpack onto her shoulders. For all she knew, whatever had hurt this girl was still out there, and Team Noble couldn't be far. While Alexis and Deneb were capable trainers, nobody could be too careful. [color=chocolate]"I'll be back as quickly as possible. It's just, Alexis, Deneb, I've gotta find them."[/color]

She hurried along the path, Tacita, Aeshna and Kyra all speeding alongside her. It didn't take long for her to spot Alexis, standing out amidst the passers-by in that elaborate outfit. Yet instead of her confident stride, she moved with a slow shuffle, seemingly lost in thought. Amber exhaled with relief. [color=chocolate]"Alexis!"[/color] She approached her, Tacita and Aeshna following...

But not Kyra, who instead bounded along the streetside flowerbed, crushing the plants. [color=chocolate]"Kyra! No, no come on, come along..."[/color] Ignoring Amber's pleas, the Rockruff gave a cheerful bark and jumped at a flock of Combees. They flitted out of the way, right into Alexis' path. [color=chocolate]"Ah! Sorry about that!"[/color]

While they didn't attack, the Combees went on the defensive, gathering around one with a red dot on its forehead. A female. A future queen. [color=chocolate]"It's ok, she was just playing,"[/color] Amber explained, gesturing for Kyra to stay back. The bees, however, remained just as agitated, buzzing fiercely as they glared.
