As Cerise awaited the boys response, she couldn't help but to obviously frown in a bit as she grew a bit more impatient. He seemed to be taking his time answering her. Was he that slow of a thinker? She almost asked him not to hurt himself, but that would be a bit much, even for her in this situation. At least she didn't have to wait too terribly wrong for his reply.

"Eh, apologies, but I don't think I've ever heard of you or anything. With most articles I've read, most of them solely focus on this guy Glenn and his whole idiotic spiel about pokemon, along with clippings of people trying to figure out what's wrong with them... er, sorry for going off on a minor tangent Cerise, best I quell these rampant thoughts for now. At any rate, my name is Yuu Nozomu; it's a pleasure to meet you Cerise."[/color]

Well, she can't say she was terribly surprised by his reaction. Of course these people wouldn't have heard of her. He seemed to be a somewhat learned man, though which was a bit interesting. He seemed quite interested in the reason why pokemon were attacking people, if he had read a lot of articles about them. Either that, or he was just doing it for a hobby. Either way, she wondered briefly if she should apologize and perhaps get to know him a bit more. This...Yuu Nozumu might not be as bad as she had first thought. He seemed like he was of the same idea. He held out his hand in an attempt to make a greeting - and she was most certainly about to take it...when he quickly decided to pull it back. Whatever could he have done that for? Judging from the frown it his face it wasn't anything good.

[color=7ea7d8]"Oooh, I thought I didn't recall you, but now I do! How did I miss that?! Your Cerise Fontaine! One of the most infamous people around that makes really bad impressions with everyone she meets! Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I met you!"[/color]

...what?

[i]what?[/i]

[i][b]WHAT?[/b][/i]

How [i]dare[/i] he. How dare he speak to her in such a manner! Insolent little brat! If she hadn't learned to be an expert at controlling her emotions, she might have very well slapped the insolent man where he stood! He better be thankful Abigail wasn't anywhere near here, or she would have done ten times worse to him! She could have very well beat him to a bloody pulp, and she would laugh the entire time as well. This boy definitely deserved it for talking to her in such a manner. But...no, no. She had something much better planned. The others probably wouldn't have heard exactly what he had said. All she had to do was play her cards right and this guy would be seen as nothing more than a little bully.

[color=ec008c]"W-what-"[/color] She started sounding a bit distressed, though it seemed like he wasn't done. Oh goody. She wished she could duct-tape his mouth shut.

[color=7ea7d8]"Apologies for leading you on like that, but insulting a person and then telling them to get out of your way isn't very ladylike if that's what you were aiming for. Honestly, I don't know why your pretending like your better than me, but if this is the way you act towards everyone you meet, your not going to make many friends obviously. Even if it's minor, try not to act bold towards another person whilst filled with hubris, because that's the impression I got of you. I may not know you much Cerise, but I wish you no ill will as I don't want to see you get hurt, especially if your departing on a journey with that friend of yours."

She wasn't pretending. She was better than you, cretin. And ladylike? That had nothing to do with anything at all. All she did was perhaps berate him for his horrid choice in fashion. If he got upset over that then he should really have stayed home. Really, and Friends? She didn't need any friends, aside from Abigail. She wasn't planing on making any new ones either. As far as she was concerned all of these guys could go get eaten by an Onix. Really, the things this insolent cretin was spouting - who was he to tell her how she should act, hmm? It wasn't like he was some bigshot or something. She could practically smell the commoner on him.

And really, no Ill will? Then you should have kept that idiot mouth of yours shut, you purple-haired idiot.

But Cerise, said nothing. Her face didn't betray her harsh words, or thoughts. Instead in the silence that followed, her face went from one of calmness, to one of sadness. By the end of Yuu's rant, she couldn't say anything. Instead, she made a small almost too-cute sounding sniffle.

[color=ec008c]"W-why w-would you say s-something like that?"[/color] She stuttered out, a few hurt tears streaming down her cheeks. Of course, they were fake but she was quite confident in her acting abilities. [color=ec008c]"I on-only was-trying...to...be-n-nice!"[/color] And the finale to her little performance? She got right up off the bench, and left the rest of the trainers there. "[color=ec008c]Y-you're a meanie pants and n-nothing but a bully!"[/color] She cried as she ran off, away from the lab. OKay, maybe a tad bit over-dramatic, but it worked.

With luck, she'd run into Abigail and tell her of this little brat so she could make sure he knew where he stood.
