[color=ed1c24]"Huh."[/color] Marlene followed along, listening as the group sat for tea. She didn't care for the stuff, personally, and the fact it was hot was unappealing in this weather, but she drank it for the sake of not upsetting the woman. She'd never actually finish it, however. As she processed the Pokemon possibly open for them to catch, she went back to thinking about Hero. Mudbray was a ground type, and obviously got trashed by his Petilil... Rock and Water wouldn't do much better. 

The forest, however, sounded appealing. Cool stuff tended to live in there; Survivalists. She wanted something tough, and figured she would be in better shape looking in the woods than scouring the beach. That'd have to wait for a bit, however...

as Mable brought her into the conversation, Marlene blinked. [color=ed1c24]"Uh..."[/color] She wasn't able to form words, unsure if getting into trouble with strong Pokemon would be a good idea considering her and Lil' Bri's inexperience. Thankfully, the woman confirmed it wouldn't be necessary.

[color=ed1c24]"Mayor? Yeah, Ah geddit!"[/color] Marlene responded to the woman as she helped clear things up about the Ramotse. Gosh, people in different regions sure made some things complicated!

She enjoyed chatting with the girls for a bit, but paused as she heard a knock. Hearing Hero's voice, she hopped up. [color=ed1c24]"Sounds like our pal came an' tracked us down!"[/color] Pulling her hat up from behind her head to the top in order to wear it, she tipped her hat to the woman in appreciation. [color=ed1c24]"Thank ya kindly for the information! Ya'll were a big help!"[/color]

Afterwards, Marlene rushed over to the door, opening it. She grinned at Hero, seeming happy to see him. [color=ed1c24]"Glad ya found us so we didn't hafta' go lookin' fer you!"[/color] She exclaimed, before bringing up the topic of conversation that caught her interest the most. [color=ed1c24]"Before we leave, might be a good idea t' check out the market; me an' May-bell saw it on the way here, an' personally ah think ya never know if ya could find somethin' for a bargain till' ya go scan the stalls!"[/color]
