With a deep, shaking breath, Sophia raised her head to see Alexis of all people. On top of everything else, she really didn't need whatever the wannabe idol would surely have to say.

[color=orchid]"None of your business,"[/color] she mumbled, her tone much flatter than she'd intended. [color=orchid]"Why are you even here, anyway? Come to gloat?"[/color] If Alexis had won the gym battle, Sophia knew she'd never hear the end of it.

Purrloin glared at Alexis, then went back to sulking. [color=orchid]"Hey! Purrloin, it's ok!"[/color] Sophia said, only to earn a scathing look from the cat herself. She'd thought returning Purrloin had been the right thing to do, but had the Dark-type taken it as an insult? [color=orchid]"Look, it wasn't that I don't think you're a good fighter. It's just that Furfrou was really strong. I wasn't even expecting those moves."[/color] The cat grumbled, keeping her back turned towards her trainer.

Gothita and Staryu, after a few more unsuccessful attempts to cheer up Purrloin, turned their attention towards Sophia instead. The trainer glanced from one to the other in surprise as they jumped up onto the bench, Gothita hugging her. [color=orchid]"What...?"[/color] Why were they comforting her? Weren't they the ones who needed comforting, after that? Shouldn't they have been mad at her for letting them down?

Why were they giving her affection when she hadn't done anything to earn it?

The next moment, she drew back in the seat from a sudden familiar presence. Oh geez. Not that guy again. Looking up, she faced Ray.

To Alexis, it would seem as if she were wordlessly scowling at him, but the truth was she had something to say to the other psychic.

[i][color=orchid]"Don't tell her what happened just now."[/color][/i] She didn't even know if she'd had to send the thought - he was probably reading her mind anyway - but she wanted to make sure Ray would know not to say anything about her most recent humiliation in front of Alexis.

Huffing, she leaned back, her shoulders drooping. Ugh, using her powers while in this state wasn't a good idea. She needed to go and rest. How could she, though, when she had to train her Pokemon - when she had to work towards becoming the person she was supposed to be?
