Well, this was certainly a change of tone from yesterday's events. A welcome one too. Now Amber could see where Nyxx got her energetic side from - although, right now, the excitement seemed to have drained her again, and the girl was slumped across her mother's lap.

Amber considered the cryptic message. [color=chocolate]"You mean the way Pokemon with different strengths can work together?"[/color] she asked, thinking of how sturdy Kabuto and speedy Yanma worked well as a team. She'd definitely take the opportunity to see more move combinations in action.

As the door opened, she raised her head. A red-haired woman holding a Whimsicott had just rushed in, splattered with mud and clearly distressed. [color=chocolate]"Ah! What happened?"[/color] Amber asked, standing up. [color=chocolate]"You ok there?"[/color]

Solanna let out a slightly panicked-sounding laugh. All this at once was too much for her. [color=orangered]"Uhhh, I-I'm fine!"[/color] she insisted, letting Whimsicott hop down to the ground. [color=orangered]"R-Really, this is nothing, it's just a bit of mud."[/color] She rubbed the back of her neck. [color=orangered]"I was just practicing for a contest, and, well, this happened... I-I mean, I don't usually end up covered in mud while preparing for contests. Things kind of went wrong this time. But it's all ok!"[/color]

She'd gone from being unable to speak to babbling uncontrollably. Maybe it would be a good idea to run back to the room she'd booked, get cleaned up and hide until she was sure Mistress Hollow would have left. With another nervous giggle, she forced her usual grin.

Mistress Hollow was being nice about it, at least, but... still.
