Shadow gave a long exhale as the battle concluded, although he did spare his purple-haired opponent a look of sympathy. He slipped out of his stance, and he could feel a minor improvement to his body. He was a little faster, a bit stronger and he could take hits a little better. He smiled a little at Alexis's compliment, but waved off her offer of expensive food. [color=skyblue]"Save your money for vital things. Regular food is fine for me."[/color] He followed her over to the crying Luvdisc and tried to look as nonthreatening as possible as he went down on one knee. As Alexis spoke, he kept quiet. He, as usual, didn't react much aside from raising an eyebrow at her offer to let her battle him again. He watched the interaction between the police officer, his Arcanine and the Bouffalant and took note of what he said. Standing up as Alexis was still speaking to the Luvdisc, he looked down the road towards Viridian City. [color=skyblue]"We should get going. Viridian City isn't far."[/color] [@Ashevelendar] [@Holy Soldier]
