Brooks looked over to the Zoroark. [color=0072bc]"Your Zoroark is correct. They wouldn't kill you, even bad guys have codes that they live by. Plus... I'd love to see one of them try and sleep at night knowing they just flat up murdered a bunch of kids."[/color] He looked back to Devon. [color=0072bc]"You say this like you've encountered other organizations before. Then you should know it's all about the fear, the intimidation factor. If they can scare you into doing what they want instead of fighting, or even by fighting, it's an easy tactic to use. And by the sounds of you all, it worked... to an extent."[/color]

Lily and Brent nodded. [color=39b54a]"What Devon said, though. They better get what's coming to them!"[/color] Said Lily, quite furious about the whole event now. Brent pulled her shoulder back down into her seat. [color=f7941d]"Seriously, just ask him. It won't hurt if a few people know."[/color] He said, Lily looking down unsuredly. Michael looked over after hearing this. [color=8dc73f]"Know what?"[/color] He asked.

While Lily thought about whether or not to ask, Brooks kept talking with Devon. [color=0072bc]"Battle, huh. Hmm..."[/color] He looked at the Zoroark standing with him. Just at first looks he could tell the Zoroark was quite skilled. The look in his eyes, his stature, his composure, impressive. However... still not a match for Feraligatr, but then again, it had been a while since he'd fought with one of his other Pokemon in a casual battle, he would have to think on this. [color=0072bc]"Sure, I'll battle ya. Let's save that till morning, though."[/color] He said.

Nurse Joy finally emerged from the back rooms. [color=39b54a]"Nurse Joy? How's Shaymin doing?"[/color] Asked Lily as she turned to look at the Pink Clad Nurse. [color=f49ac2]"Shaymin will easily recover, a couple of bruises left, but after a good nights sleep she'll be fine."[/color] She responded. Lily smiled, turning to her friends for a moment, then stood up. [color=39b54a]"Would it be okay if I... saw Shaymin?"[/color] She asked. [color=f49ac2]"Of course. I'd be quiet though, she's fast asleep now."[/color] Lily nodded. [color=39b54a]"I'll be back."[/color] She said, heading towards the back rooms with Chikorita on her heels. Brooks kept his eye on her for a bit, he had a feeling there was something up about the situation, something he didn't know yet.
