As soon as Alexis and her Pokémon walked out of the gym, they all heaved a sigh. Alexis was unsure how long she would have been able to keep up the act, Gabby was still a little bruised from the attacks, Puffpuff was still aching from actually fighting, and Yuki...Well, she did have a bit of damage, but she was just glad. After witnessing Sophia's match, Yuki had no doubt that she and the others were going to lose. She needed to see just how strong their opponent's Pokémon were. And they were strong. Though not in the normal way. They weren't really stronger than her and the others, but they knew things that she honestly didn't think they would have known. They were specially trained, and she was worried that they wouldn't be able to beat them, even if they trained more.

Alexis, on the other hand...She took things a bit better. She had the same doubts as Yuki, but she was determined to get better. She had to be determined. Otherwise there was no point...They needed to train! For Pokémon battles! For the Contests! They just needed to go out into the wild, and go hunting!...Okay, maybe not hunting, but they need to find Pokémon to train against, regardless!

First things first, though. She and her team need to rest after all that. Especially Puffpuff, since he took on the gym leader without known the plan. He was legitimately knocked out. It wasn't as long of a walk as one would normally think, but when they got there, she had found the strangest sights she had never expected to see. Rheese walking with a sullen expression, alone, not even bothering to notice her, and immediately dashing off to who knows where. As well as Sophia with her pokemon out, maybe some crying, and several apologies from the psychic.

Needless to say, Alexis and her pokemon had absolutely no idea what just happened. Was it the fight with the gym leader? Did they already have some sort of falling out? What in the world was going on?!

With Rheese running off somewhere, Alexis didn't have any other choice but to either ask the Nurse, or Sophia herself, and Alexis didn't really think the Nurse would give her the kind of info she wanted. So, with a groan of annoyance, and a feeling that she might regret this, Alexis approached Sophia. She looked at the psychic girl crying, and watched for a moment before sighing and saying,

Entering the Pokemon Center[/h2][/center]

The strangely clothed child walked onward with his Pokémon on his back. Well, one of them anyway. Edea's spines weren't quite as damaging as one would think they would be to clothes. Which was good, since he rather liked his clothes. Still, having a Maractus on his back did cause mild discomfort. He could have just sent the Pokémon back into her pokeball, he hadn't thought of that. In fact the idea wasn't even dawning on him at the moment, and it most likely will not come up until he makes it to the pokecenter

Why does the boy have his Maractus on his back while walking in his way to a Pokémon Center? Just ask the gang of wild Rattata. The quartet ambushed the boy and his team while they were wandering about, and had a little skirmish. In the end, Edea and Helioptile were exhausted, but the rattata gang were out cold with a lesson learnt. Now all he had to do was get them healed.

He planned to challenge the gym in this town, in the hopes that the victory or defeat would somehow help him with his own motives. He couldn't rightly do that when his pokemon were in their current shape, now could he?

Along the way, he saw a bunch of other trainers, but they were strangers, so he cared less. Same thing with the damaged parts that indicated some sort of pokemon battle. Still, when he did enter the Pokemon Center, he was probably an intriguing sight himself. What with the desert robes, and the Maractus on his back, and the fact that his skin was so fair that his gender would be unknown to those who didn't know him personally. He went up to the Nurse and asked for her to heal his pokemon, like a normal trainer would, but his voice was still as monotone as ever.
