Sophia gave a slight huff at Oscar's attempt at sageliness - was now really the time for that? - but his words were true. And the way he lived up to that philosophy... Well, she couldn't deny it to herself, that was what she admired about him. Even if he had gone and put himself in danger, he'd saved a Pokemon in the process.

The Pokecentre was just coming into view when Oscar suggested heading back to the gym. In other circumstances, Sophia would have bigged up her battling skill and told him she was sure she could get a badge first. As it was, she glanced from him to the Jangmo-o, then turned her solemn gaze back towards him.

[color=orchid]"Is he really ready?"[/color] she asked. [color=orchid]"After that?"[/color]

Amber turned at Sophia's protest. [color=chocolate]"It depends on what he wants,"[/color] she chipped in. [color=chocolate]"He might need time to come to terms with everything, or he might want to battle as a way of bonding with a new trainer. Apparently, many Dragon types, after... after something like this, channel trauma into training to protect themselves and those they're close to."[/color]

At her side, a sombre-faced Vivianne nodded.

[color=chocolate]"But whether it's the best way to cope has to be his choice,"[/color] Amber continued. [color=chocolate]"Even if he isn't ready to battle, the monastery might be the peaceful place he needs right now."[/color]
