After receiving permission, Sirina gently danced her fingers across Aenir's head.  A surge of cold came from the ghost type, radiating throughout her entire body and causing goosebumps to pop up on her arms.  She kept the contact for a few moments, before she moved her gentle hands away, a smile on her face.  [color=ec008c]"Thank you."[/color] she stated.  [color=ec008c]"That.. it was an experience i will not forget."[/color]

Nana flicked an ear. [color=ed1c24]<And how do you know where he was for the eight years before you met him?> [/color]she challenged.  [color=ed1c24]<It is quite possible for humans to have interactions with pokemon at a young age, even if they do not own them.  I met Sirina when she was six.  She already had Spud with her, though he was still a Wooper back then.>[/color]  Then she shook her head and her mane.  [color=ed1c24]<If i wasn't on duty i would consider helping your trainer myself.>[/color]

Tamaki beamed at Marill.  [color=00aeef]<Okie dokie!  This is going to be sooo much fun.  I'm going to race like super fast.. like ten billion cars and a monster truck with jet engines.  VROOM!>[/color] he giggled joyously before turning to face the newcomer.  [color=00aeef]<She looks nice.  And she smells kind of sweet.>[/color]

Nana glanced up as Liza.. the new girl held out a closed fist to her.  Weird.  She'd been trained to only attack if Sirina ordered it, or she perceived a threat.  Right now.. she didn't know what to think about the girl before her.  She just planted her hind end on the ground, staring directly at the girl as she complimented Nana.  [color=ed1c24]<Nice try.  Anyone can say something like that.  You are going to have to prove yourself to me just like every other trainer and pokemon here.>[/color]  She did appear to relax outwardly and was at least not growling anymore.  Though she refused to approach Liza, and kept an eye on the newcomer.

[color=0072bc]<Oh.. come on then Nana.. Don't be so paranoid!>[/color] Spud toddled over, giving the girl a broad smile.  [color=0072bc]<Nice to meet you!>[/color]  He reached out and clenched the fingers on his hand slightly.  [color=0072bc]<Fist bump!>[/color]  He bumped a slimy fist against her warm one, giving a dopey laugh as he did so.

Sirina smiled.  [color=ec008c]"It's been a while since anyone has actually conquered the Pokemon league.  Best of luck to you, Liza."[/color] The last time someone had defeated the elite four was at least ten or so years ago.  Sirina had a vague memory of watching a battle on television.  Then her eyes lit up as Liza spoke. [color=ed1c24]"What kind of job did your grandmother do? If i remember correctly, Arcanine are highly regulated because they can be dangerous if not trained properly."[/color]  She winced as Nana refused to even sniff the newcomer, and Spud came over and gave her a fist bump.  [color=ec008c]"Sorry.  Like i said.  Nana will take some time.  The Quagsire who fist bumped you is Spud.  And the other pokemon i have is Tamaki.  The little Dratini over there."[/color] she gestured at the tiny creature as it waved the very tip of its tail in their direction.

Then she turned a bright shade of pink as Devon spoke.  [color=ec008c]"Oh.. i'm sorry.  Of course.. I just... got a little excited you see.  It's not every day you come across a Froslass who is so friendly."[/color]  She disengaged the breaks on her wheelchair, and gripped the wheels before starting off towards  Vertigo.  Immediately, Nana was at her side, tail swishing as she kept a close eye on Sirina[color=ec008c]"You know, Lisa... You and I are both in the gym Circuit. I'm also going for the elite four.  Though I'm not set to be the Champion or anything. So.. we could maybe help each other along the way somehow?"[/color]
