High in the air, Faust thought he saw a flash of red and blue light in the near distance. Squinting slightly to get a better view, he saw the flames appear again momentarily. "Ah wait, is that coming from the village...?" Figuring that a fight had broken out, he went into a dive, accelerating towards the village before his Farfetch'd pulled up to slow the approach. "Rest for now, my friend." he said quietly to it before returning him to his ball. Faust figured he'd be tired after flying him all this way, so Faust decided it would be best to let him rest. As he did this, he saw the familiar girl, and.... another girl in front of her that he didn't recognize at all. As he approached, he saw the unfamiliar girl turn and say in surprise, "Tinder!"

Tinder.

Something clicking in his brain, Faust smiled slightly as he remembered her. "So that was her name," he thought to himself, forgetting his anger for the moment. But, he couldn't help but think about her brothers too; Faust had left long before she did, so he had to wonder how they were hanging on. "I'll have to ask her later," he decided, before suddenly getting surprised by yet another girl that was chasing after her Meditite. "Wait a minute..." Faust paused. She sounded like the other kid he heard from the meeting between Fateen and the trainers; she really had a grudge against Cipher. Aside from realizing that it probably wasn't the best person to be in front of while talking about where he's been, it could have also meant that Tinder was one of the trainers Fateen chose. But.... why would she have left the village in the first place?

Realizing how tired he was, Faust decided that he should just head to the Poke Center and go sleep on a couch there instead of worrying about that. He'd go ask her tomorrow. As he walked past them, he couldn't help but notice loud banging noises coming from the back of the center. Figuring it wouldn't hurt to check, Faust walked around and saw a Machoke banging on the backdoor, a body slung across its shoulder. "Do you need help with that door there, buddy?" Faust asked, somewhat concerned as to what happened to the gentleman's face.
