Still, it would be rude to decline his offer and she was rather hungry. She decided to look at a menu after she was done talking for the moment though, since it would also be rude to not reply to the two adults in front of her. Listening to each adult in turn, she turned to Charl first. "[color=a187be]That a very neat trick. Sadly, it doesn't seem to work like move like Fire Punch, since your Charmander can't just light it's claws on fire without breathing on them. But it's still rather neat and I hope you luck in your endeavor. Still, I have to wonder how it would work if you gave a move like Ember a new type, like ghost? I'm sure that would be much more difficult[/color]." She said, looking thoughtful for a second before giving him a sad smile. "[color=a187be]Sadly, I must decline your services for the time being. I might be able to afford the cost but I don't think I can afford to leave behind any of my partners. Maybe another time though[/color]." She then turned to Jacques and gave him a slight smile. "[color=a187be]All I'll tell you about my teacher is that his name is also Joshua and that he has thirty-two gym badges to his name. He won't know much about you and I think it'll be fair if you don't know much about him. He's also the one who taught me how to battle so I think how things worked out with my battle with your Joshua shows to results of that training Sir[/color]." She said before picking up a menu and looking at it to see what they had for human and possibly pokemon as well. Her partners had worked hard today and she figured they could use a treat.
