[color=chocolate][center][h1]Amber Pine[/h1] [h3]Outside Mesalon Pokecentre[/h3][/center][/color] [@Heckno12] [@AbysmalDemon] [@Dusksong] [@Noxx] [color=chocolate]"Oh, hey Nyxx!"[/color] Amber called as the red-haired girl trudged past. [color=chocolate]"Yeah, feel free to come along."[/color] It would be understandable if Nyxx just wanted to sleep, but the option to explore was out there in case another of her sudden bursts of energy happened. Amber turned back to Rachel. [color=chocolate]"You're the first person to say that, people usually say I spend too much time around fossils. But yeah."[/color] She could easily shrug off such comments. Coral, on the other hand... That was a different story. The researcher looked over at Aedre. [color=chocolate]"Togepi, huh? Cute little Pokemon there - and one that not much is known about, considering how rare it is,"[/color] she said, watching the little Fairy type toddle along. [color=chocolate]"Said to bring good luck. I wonder what kinds of gems and fossils we'll find with her around?"[/color] She was half-joking, but it would be an interesting theory to test, if the Togepi and her trainer were ok with it. Her expression became pensive as she returned to the subject she'd brought up just now. [color=chocolate]"Anyway... I just wanted to know. If a loved one wanted to know how you were doing, and things hadn't exactly gone smoothly, how would you word it? Especially if you didn't want to put them off being a trainer themselves?"[/color] She couldn't take away the dream Coral was holding on to. She just couldn't.

[color=orchid]"But we did say we'd help each other out... So I guess we'll have to."[/color] As Lan left the room, Sophia turned to face Oscar. [color=orchid]"And... And besides! It'll be a chance to remind you what a skilled battler I really am!"[/color] She immediately wished that, in her eagerness to compensate for the weakness she'd just shown, she hadn't let the words slip. She'd just gone and challenged him. After two consecutive losses, no less. Was she about to make the situation even worse? No. She wouldn't. She'd shut up that smart aleck. There was no backing out of this.
