Xanthia stood for a second, catching her breath as she watched the Skiddo leaping across the ground, making small happy baaing noises as she bobbed her head excitedly.  She groaned, resting her hands against the counter as she stood back up to full height.

[color=ed1c24]"Ah... this is why i get to know my pokemon.. so i can be prepared for what they have to offer." [/color]she grunted, rubbing her stomach.

Anubis just cackled, pointing a finger in her direction gleefully as he shook his entire body with laughter.

Xanthia was about to say something to her pesky ghost type when Edward spoke.  [color=ed1c24]"Oh.. my hometown?  No.  I didn't see the point in getting a badge from a different region. It doesn't transfer here or anything.  Besides.. there's no way that i could have gotten a badge with Anubis as my only pokemon.  He doesn't really like to do anything i ask.. as you have seen."[/color]

Rubbing her stomach again, Xanthia glanced over at the gleefully bounding Terra, a smile stretched across her face.  She reached out and brushed her hands against the creature's horns and it paused, gathering her emotions through its horns. Terra seemed to immediately calm, and then looked sorry as she sensed her pain from headbutting her trainer.  She let out a gentle baaing noise, licking Xanthia's hand happily.

[color=ed1c24]"I'm good to go."[/color] Xanthia stated, rubbing behind the creature's neck, causing Terra to close her eyes happily, her nub-like tail wiggling.
