Marie was glad that Michael agreed to help the Oddish, "I understand there is no immediate cure for it's psychological state. However, there is a way to help it's physical state I'd like to imagine. I get too excited out there." She then looked at the Oddish and apologized, "I'm sorry about harming you as much as I did." Then the others arrived and had their own problems. Tyler, Marie believed to be his name, had an injured Bulbasaur. Marie assumed that it was the Lab's inhabitant. Then Jorie showed up and mentioned her Maren got a "little roughed up". Then, after a compliment that almost made Marie blush, Michael went into a thought process and then called a friend of his. Apparently, he was someone that helped in the past. Then Michael said something that made Marie think a bit. . .

[i]Snag machine?[/i], Marie thought to herself. [i]I've never heard of that before.[/i] The conversation with this friend was. . . Apparently awkward to say the least. If nothing else he seemed to be ready to help out. With the Oddish being taken care of now, Marie was ready to get back into the action. Still, she had been in Orre for how long again? A while, and she still didn't really know her way around. If she was going to help the Professor be heavily dependent on those around her. Jorie and Tyler, as well as their Pokemon. 

Back to what was happening, she listened to Jorie, "Regardless of whether or not he's willing to believe us, he's going to have to." She smiled though, happy to be part of a team. Cipher was back, sure, but it was a chance to do what she had wanted to do for a long time, serve justice where it was due. Cipher seemed like just the right target to her. "But, that's what we'll have to deal with there right?" After that Marie turned back to Michael, "So, we're to go to this lab and get assistance?"
