[h3][color=004b80]Spirit the Lucario[/color], [color=0072bc]Rico and Lulu the Riolu Twins[/color][/h3][b][Valiant Village - Sawk and Throh Dojo][/b] [@Ninian] [@Light Lord] Spirit nodded as the two Pokemon elaborated. [color=004b80]"I would assume so, Celty. Such a probable sudden transformation would be sure to cause some... discomfort."[/color] He said, turning back to Devon. [color=004b80]"I'm glad to hear this, Devon. You have my word that I will help you to the best of my ability. Training does not only entail moves and physical strength. Mental strength and clarity is a large part of my training, for even the strongest of Pokemon cannot achieve victory without a clear mind."[/color] He answered. [color=004b80]"Your help is welcome as well, Celty. Thank you."[/color] He said to the Mawile. [color=004b80]"For now, you will be treated just as anyone else would who becomes a trainee with my guild..."[/color] He began, then got the message from Relay. He sighed, truthfully that Vanillite had been edging on his nerves lately, he even snapped a bit at him that night. [i][color=004b80]"Relay... now really isn't the time. And honestly, he seems to lack patience, I can't work with a Pokemon like that. He has great overconfidence I can feel, and partially wants to make a name for himself. I have not said this in front of him, nor will I. He seems like a good kid, and I might give him a chance. But I don't know if he's a good fit for our Guild."[/color][/i] He responded telepathically to the message. Looking back to the others, he replied. [color=004b80]"Sorry, had a message from Relay about something. I'll begin your training the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is a very special day for our village, and I still have some things to take care of today."[/color] He finished. Rico and Lulu had been listening to the whole conversation, and finally decided to come out and speak. Lulu was the first to say something. [color=7ea7d8]"So... you're a real human? That's so cool, you'll be like those heroes we read about in our storybooks!"[/color] She said. Rico nodded. [color=7ea7d8]"But like dad said, we need to figure out why you're here. Everything seems fine here..."[/color] Said Rico. [h3][color=black]Omen the Absol[/color] and [color=f49ac2]Serenity the Sylveon[/color][/h3][b][Valiant Village][/b] [@Iatos] [@Banana] Relay made the off comment about having children, making Serenity blush embarrassingly and Omen actually chuckle. [color=black]"No, Relay, not yet... we're not exactly ready for that yet..."[/color] Said Omen. Serenity kept her eyes away from the Meowstic, now more angry at the question than embarrassed. The thought of having kids made Serenity feel... old. She wasn't that old yet, she still had a whole life ahead of her. Kids were nowhere on the schedule anytime soon. Clearly her reaction was response enough to the question.
