"Well, I... suppose I have a knack for them. I like them and they like me. I'm not sure how I'll do in battle with them, but my teacher did say I was... decent enough? I figured I was just performing within the minimum expectations of a new trainer." Amelia said before it finally registered to her that Freya might actually be a bit scared of her now. She knew her powers were unusual, She knew most people wouldn't really accept them. But Freya and Steph struck her as different. Steph might simply think Amelia was making it up, but Freya was friendly enough that Amelia figured that even if she believed Amelia's words, she would also be accepting of her abilities. But it seemed she had underestimated the creepiness of what she could do.

Sadly, it seemed she had thoroughly creeped Freya out. As the conversation steered in a whole new direction concerning some people that the older girls seemed to know, Amelia turned away, looking at some of the nearby fishing supplies and gently poking them to at least appear interested in them while she waited to see if Freya would be interested in being with her a Steph anymore. Maybe Steph wouldn't want to stick around if she found out. What if Freya told her and both left her behind now? She guessed it would be okay, after all she hadn't know either of them very long, but it would be nice if they could be friends. But if this was how someone as friendly as Freya reacted, would anyone actually want to be her friend once they found out?

Seeing as she was being mostly ignored at the moment, Amelia turned to try and leave the group of converging trainers when the boy's words reached her ears, mentioning the pirate at the docks before calling her by name. She immediately turned to face the boy, looking him in the face and trying to remember who he was. It had only been a brief encounter after all, and she was not the best with people as it was. Trying to remember them all was hard. It took her about a minute but eventually, she did remember a name that might be right.
"Yes, I'm Amelia... and you're... Basil... right? I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I don't mean any offense!" She said as she gave him a small bow, her tone a bit panicked as she didn't want to possibly offend someone, even if it was only by accident.

Around her, her partners sensed her distress and as per usual, they floated or moved closer to her, letting out cries of comfort, though thankfully it seemed that they didn't direct any ire at Basil... yet.

Steph's battle seemed to have ended in her friend's victory, something Amelia was happy about as it wasn't Steph's fault the fisherman had run into her. She just wished she had watched a bit more, so she could possibly pick up some tactics or possible strategies. Sure, she didn't like to battle, but she knew she would have to at some point. Maybe, is only for the sake of safety and not being a burden further on, she could do some practice with Steph or Freya later. As long as the battle had purpose, then she didn't mind taking part. It was the pointless ones or the ones for sport she didn't entirely agree with.

She was dragged out of her thoughts when Steph suddenly placed a hand on her head and ruffled her hair while calling Amelia a nice kid, causing Amelia's cheeks to turn a bit red in embarrassment. Next thing she knew, Freya had called her cute and Amelia's entire face turned red, causing her to quickly pull up her hood to try and hide her face, not saying anything as she wasn't used to being complimented this much, even though it really wasn't much.

When the older two finally headed inside the shop, Amelia followed after them along with her ghostly partners. Inside the shop, Phantump and Yamask floated around, examining anything that caught their interest, mostly the shinier objects. Amelia kept a close eye on the pair, making sure they didn't touch anything or cause any damage while Mimikyu helped from in her arms and Golett just followed after, looking at the occasion object in the store.

When Freya came over to speak to her, Amelia lowered her hood again, her face back to its usual pale complexion as she put Mimikyu on the ground and grabbed Phantump and Yamask so they didn't cause trouble while she was distracted. In response to Freya's question, Amelia shook her head.
"No, I don't think I can. I've only ever met pokemon who were already ghost-types and I've never been able to sense any other type of pokemon. I've never met a Nincada or Snorunt but even if I did, I doubt I would be able to sense them as they were. They're still alive after all." She replied before looking around before focusing on a distant direction. "I can faintly sense some ghost-types that way. If... if it's okay with you and Steph, could we go that way later?"

Amelia was silent as Freya gave what was an even longer speech that was Amelia had given on her point of view. Still, she paid attention to all of it, even though most of it was the kind of philosophical questioning that was a little above her, especially the more... questionable implication. When Freya finished, Amelia was silent for a bit once again before she finally spoke.
"I never said that our pokemon were entirely unwilling. I simply said that I do not think it's fair to have them battle and I don't think they enjoy the suffering. You are right that they are very intelligent. As I said, all my friends here CHOSE to join me willingly. If they want to battle, I will take part in it. If I need to battle for something I believe in, I hope they will help me.

In regard to most of your questions, I am not able to answer them at this time. I would need time to think on them and sort out my thoughts on such things. But I don't think I will be doing so for a while, as I simply want to go around the region and enjoy what it has to offer.
I think the journey is the most important thing and one should enjoy it. While I might not agree with how everyone enjoys it, I don't see a point in telling them not to do what they're doing unless it's actually causing harm to others or pokemon who shouldn't be dragged into things."

Her speech done, she turned towards Steph's battle, watching to see how it would go.

Amelia was so lost in thought, she didn't even realize she had returned to town and made her way to the pokecenter. When it finally did dawn on her, she had to look around in surprise, wondering just how hard she had been thinking about this. It then dawned on her that Phantump had floated away. She cast a quick glance around and thankfully, the little ghost didn't float too far away. Infact, it was in front of her and the next thing she knew, it had tried to scare the people it had targeted, a pair of people ahead of her, one of them clad in armor. Amelia's cheeks turned red as she moved forward, grabbing the little phantom, as her other ghostie friends floated around her.
"Sorry about that. I hope she didn't scare you." Amelia said while Phantump was just snickering in her trainer's arms, blissfully unaware of the possible trouble it might have caused.

Shortly after, another trainer approached, this one with a Hawlucha. Amelia glanced at the boy for a second, feeling as if she saw him somewhere before but she couldn't remember. So, she made to try and slowly move away, uncertain if she was interrupting anything.

Amelia accepted the Water Whistle with a smile, thanking Palpitoad before leaving, letting the three friends sort out the dispute they were now having. That was none of her business, as she had only agreed to find out what had happened to the water stone. The fallout of the truth would be up to the others to decide.

Thus she eventually made her way towards and into the Wet Caverns. If she hadn't been taught better, she would have been caught off guard by the swarms of Zubats that suddenly appeared around her. But, she had been warned of such things so they only gave her a little fright before making her way deeper in, watching out for any Geodudes as well so that they would remain undisturbed. She had no desire to battle any pokemon right now and simply focused on exploring. As a result, she would eventually make her way to the intersection, looking at the possible three paths in front of her. All seemed like they were sort of bad options but the third path that led in the darkness was of interest of her. She didn't even question what she felt down there, she knew what she was sensing: Sableye. It was the only Ghost-Type that made it's home in natural caves, looking for gems to feed one. She couldn't think of any others.

That being said, trying to go down there would be tricky. She had no good form of illumination right now. Sure,she could use Litwick's flame, as long as he made it big enough, but feed off the life force of others might be seen as an attack by the other pokemon and result in trouble for her. So, for now, her best option seemed to be to turn back and find a new solution.

As she walked out of the cave, she was lost in though and failed to notice the two trainers ahead of her. How they got there without her noticing them passing by was up for the imagination of others. Phantump, however, did not fail to see the two trainers ahead of them and immediately knew what needed to be done. Without a single thought towards the consequences, the little phantom silently floated over to Eryn and her partner, floating behind and between them before suddenly letting out a loud cry.

Amelia was slowly beginning to get frustrated with this whole situation, the lack of any progress finally beginning to wear away at her patience. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down as she turned the sun stone she had been given around in her hand. As she did so, she noticed that the stone was oddly sticky. Looking down at it, it dawned on her that that was not the only odd thing about the stone. It didn't sparkle in the sun like one would expect. Most evolution stones were crystalline in nature and despite being a sun stone, this one lacked spikes. Moving it to her other hand, she saw some orange now sticking to her palm and fingers.

Glancing over at Smeargle, she moved to the edge of the lake and put the sun stone in the water, rubbing it with her fingers until the paint came off, revealing the missing water stone underneath. Standing up, she showed it to the trainers before moving over to Palpitoad and held out the stone to it.
"I think this is yours. Take good care of it." She said to it. Once the stone was taken back by it's owner, she stood up before looking at Smeargle, Ledyba, Leila, Eric, and Annica. "I think you got some explaining to do Smeargle. But, I think my work here is done. I wish the three of you luck."

With that, she would walk away, her pokemon following after her as she made her way towards the Wet Caverns, trying to actually get further away from Pureplain City now.

"S-sorry." Amelia quickly apologized, embarrassed to have gotten the name wrong even though it had just been said to her. Thankfully, Freya didn't seem too offended by the slip up, something for which Amelia was very thankful for. Freya's response to her reply when it came to the gym challenge was not surprising to Amelia, who knew a lot of trainers loved to battle. So, when the question of her enjoyment of battle came up, Amelia was silent for a bit before speaking. "I'm able to battle. Someone taught me how to do so. But, I simply have no desire to see my friends get hurt for sport. I didn't battle any of the pokemon here. I simply asked them if they would come along and after some discussion, they agreed to come along. Phantump being an exception because he was given to me. But regardless, if the situation was reversed, the pokemon sent us into battle, would you enjoy being shocked, burned, frozen, poisoned, cut, beaten and hurt for the sake of a sport you had no say in taking part of? I don't battle because I don't want to see them get hurt. But I will battle if I must."

She then pointed towards Steph's battle with the fisherman.
"Over there is a good example. Steph simply walked into him by accident. A simple apology and all should have been well. Instead, he starts a battle for something as minor as that, without thinking about his partners and Steph joined, probably because she enjoys the sport. But I don't think either of them really stopped to consider an alternative solution or whether or not hurting their friends and partners was worth it. I just can't find a point to it all."

Done with her response, she immediately looked a bit worried, wondering if she had worded it well but also worried that she might have offended some of the people around her.

Amelia watched Freya closely as the older girl talked to her. She liked the air that Freya gave off. Freya seemed to be the kind of person Amelia might hope to be when she grew up. Confident, kind, and most of all, free. That was the kind of person Freya seemed to be to the young girl. Then Freya brought up her name and Amelia's visible eye widened.
"Kopac? As in Professor Kopac? The one who gave me Phantump?" She asked, while reaching out to shake Freya's hand. When the question came up on if she was going to take the gym challenge. Once again, she had to shake her head in response to the question. She was getting the feeling that this was going to be a question that she was going to hear a lot. She hoped that her answer to it would never have to change. "No, I'm not. I have no desire to do so. I'm just journeying to be free. I want to go where I want to go and I want to do what I want to do. I As for me using Ghost-Types, well... I would say their as attracted to me as I am to them. I had a lot of Ghost-Type friends back home."

Freya's kind and gentle aura, if that is indeed what it was, was something Amelia didn't miss out on. The taller girl seems to be trying to comfort her in a slightly indirect manner and it did produce some minor results, as Amelia did cast a few glances out of the corner of her eyes, trying to work up the courage to actually look at the older girl.

As if on sensing their trainer's discomfort, Amelia's pokeballs suddenly popped open, all of her pokemon coming out, Phantump being very noticeable because, well, shiny, getting a cry of surprise out of the little spirit medium. The ghosts all moved around her, Phantump and Yamask hovering over her shoulders, Golett standing at her side, and Mimikyu standing at her feet until Amelia picked her up into her arms. Immediately, Amelia felt more comfortable as she faced Freya, giving her a smile.
"Sorry about that. I guess they knew I needed the support. I hope they didn't scare you." She said, all traces of nervousness in her voice gone. Even her posture seemed much more relaxed now. "Yes, Steph did tell me about you and it was nothing but good things. I can understand her, but sometimes it can still be a bit difficult. Oh, I'm Amelia by the way. Amelia Averyonna. It's nice to meet you. And these are all my friends."
