Amelia had been expecting things to go worse and couldn't help but feel a bit of relief when her plan went off without a hitch and visibly relaxed and let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that the battle was over, only to get out a slightly surprised cry when something hit her in the forehead. Phantump moved quickly and caught the item, holding up the Miracle Seed to her owner with a triumphant grin on her face. Amelia laughed and took the seed, pocketing it as Shuppet approached her. She reached out and gave the Puppet Pokémon a pat on the head.
"[color=a187be]You did a good job Shuppet. You too Litwick. We couldn't have done this without both of you[/color]." She said.

"[color=662d91]Lit[/color]." Litwick said, sounding a bit disheartened.

"[color=92278f]Shu[/color]!" Shuppet said, a bit of pride in it's voice.

Knowing she would have to address Litwick's blow to it's ego later, Amelia turned towards the tiny Pumpkaboo when it approached and knelt down closer to it's height, pulling out a pokeball and enlarging it before holding it out to the little guy.
"[color=a187be]Welcome to the team. I hope we have a lot of fun together[/color]." She said. The little pumpkin gave her a smile before hitting the pokeball, the device opening up and hitting the Pumpkaboo with a red beam of light, bringing him inside. It shook three times before  stopping and clicking. Satisfied, Amelia stood up and put all her Pokémon in their pokeballs before approaching Laurinda. "[color=a187be]I'm sorry for the delay. I'll return to the safer parts of the forest now[/color]."

Assuming there were no more reasons to delay, Amelia would follow Laurinda to the safest parts of the forest before saying her good-byes and thanking the veteran trainer for her help. She also said good-bye to Chandelure and Trevanent as well. Once she was in the safer parts of the forest, she looked for a relatively secluded area to set up camp. Once she found one, she set about pitching her tent and generally setting up camp. She let out her pokemon to help her out and before long, they had all had something to eat and were ready for bed. As she returned her partners to their pokeballs for the night, she kept Litwick out for a little one on one time.
"[color=a187be]Litwick... are you okay[/color]?" She asked, picking up the little guy and holding him close. When he didn't respond, she took that as a 'no' and just continued. "[color=a187be]I know you must have been shocked, with me pulling you out. But, I didn't want you getting too hurt by that Pumpkaboo. Besides, you're not going to be able to take down every opponent we go against. We'll come across a lot of powerful trainers and Pokémon and we won't be able to beat all of them. It's not that I don't believe in you. I have complete faith in your abilities. You've already proven how strong you are. But just be ready to suffer some losses as well. Do you trust me[/color]?"

"... [color=662d91]Lit[/color]." Litwick said, sounding a bit happier then earlier.

Seeing this as progress, Amelia went to bed, keeping Litwick in her arms and holding the little Candle Pokémon close. It was late in the morning when she finally woke up and set about getting ready for the day. Once she was done, she set out and returned to Route 2 and thought about her next action. Though she disliked this, she knew she would need to train her partners to keep them strong enough to protect her. Not only that, some battling might help Litiwick regain it's confidence. Nodding to herself, she went about training against the wild Pokémon, having Pumpkaboo do the most battling since it was her weakest. Her main goal was to get all her partners on Litwicks level and keep them equal at least on that account.
