Ever since Jojo had taken out the Slakoth, Aster had been sulking. Her stubby arms were crossed and she looked genuinely miserable. Jill must have sensed this because as soon as the battle was over, he walked over to the Aipom and gathered her up in a big hug. [color=007236]"You did pretty good, Aster,"[/color] she said. This didn't seem to make the monkey Pokemon's mood any better... but it didn't seem to make it any worse either, as she didn't make any attempts to get out of her trainer's grasp.

Jill raised her head when Yuu addressed her, seeming more than a little confused by his words and demeanor. Was he... upset with her? It seemed that way, though she had no idea why or what she could have done to incite such a reaction. They'd won the battle, hadn't they? That was supposed to be a good thing, but he didn't seem entirely happy about, at least not happy with her. She felt an awkward lump forming in the pit of the stomach as she quickly went through her mind, trying to figure out what it was she could have possibly done wrong. She was so engrossed in this that she almost missed when Yuu addressed again.

[color=007236]"Huh? Oh, err, sure,"[/color] Jill said, a little surprised he'd invited her considering how he'd been acting. [color=007236]"We'd love to come along, wouldn't we Aster?"[/color] She looked down at the Aipom in her arms, who simply turned her head away. It seemed like she didn't want to even look at the riolu, she was that upset with him. Jill frowned. [color=007236]"Oh, come on, don't act like that. It's rude."[/color] Aster didn't respond, continuing to seem gloomy. Jill sighed, and gave a small bow to the three other trainers. [color=007236]"She gets like this sometimes, I'm sorry." [/color] She then raised her head back up somewhat abruptly, as if recalling something. [color=007236]"Oh, is it okay if you guys wait a moment for me? I still need to return this."[/color] Still holding Aster in one arm, she picked up the bucket she had gotten from the lab her free hand, holding it up and waving it over her head.
