The Shinx let out one more growl towards the larger Pokemon, but did indeed back off. It seemed like a good fit for Ema, the more Leo watched them interact. He was a little harder to rein in, but was up for a challenge, it seemed. Shinx shrunk back before Ema, returning to its comfortable spot alongside Tyr.

Leo shook his head at the explanation, accepting the plan with no questions to add. His friend slung an arm over his shoulders, grinning a bit. [color=red]"A secret technique, huh? We seem to be doing pretty well for ourselves so far,"[/color] she stated. Despite her overconfidence, she couldn't deny her curiosity at what the Champion could show them. She was confident she would one day be standing against him and Kick, but...he had years on them. He was sure to know something interesting.

The meeker boy was quick to reply. [color=mediumpurple]"I appreciate your help, sir,"[/color] he said, shooting a look towards Ema, silently asking her to behave. She was confident, but headstrong. He was sure she'd rise up to challenge the League someday, but they shouldn't deny help where it was given. They were already behind their age range. They could use the help here.
