Ruby looked at the starraptor and smiled. ''I believe your pokemon are very dear to you'' she said. she looked now at her Eevee and smiled. ''Look, it's like they are becoming friends'' she said. Her eevee now yipped too and wagged its tail slowly, getting up again and doing a few more steps closer so it could sniff the poocheyena.

Ruby saw her other badge and took it from the ground, dusting it of against her jacket and then putting it back into the box. She let the box slide back into her bag and looked at Draco. ''I know that they are my friends, and honest, I do see and treat them like my friends. They are the only nice ones near me when I am home'' she said. ''But, I don't believe I will ever see you at the other side of a battle field, simply because I don't see myself as a champion to be'' she said. ''I'll continue my journey, because I am not a quitter but I am not gonna try out for something that doesn't feel like a good idea'' she said.
