"[color=a187be]I don't really know the woman, I just encountered her a few years ago. She was bullying my friends so I don't really have that good of an impression of her, so when she came to likely do the same to the pokemon here, I figured I would try to stop her. She was likely after pokemon like this little one[/color]." She said, looking down at the Shedinja still in her arms at the last sentence before looking back up. "[color=a187be]the man's name is Joshua. He taught me about pokemon and how to battle before I went to the Professor. He even helped me get to her. He's a veteran trainer and a Dark-type specialist[/color]." Just as she finished, she felt the change in energy around the battle sight and gasped at the explosion caused by the Dark Pulse, her expression growing worried. Meanwhile, Joshua was rather shocked when his hand passed through Angelique and he quickly withdrew is and jumped back a bit. Something was wrong here, very wrong indeed. Not a second later, a powerful Dark Pulse flew out of the girl and his eyes narrowed as he saw a Spiritomb from around her. "[color=ed1c24]Well, aren't you being a troublemaker[/color]." He said to the pokemon, his tone no longer amused and rather serious. After a second or nothing, he relaxed his stance and stared at the pokemon until he was sure it wouldn't act hostilely again. At the girl's words, he turned his attention back to her before returning to his more casual, friendly tone. "[color=ed1c24]Ah, so you can speak modern English. That's good to know. Try speaking it more often, it'll be easier to make friends. That goes for your... many other associates as well[/color]." He watched the girl leave as Absol and Bisharp watch Cofigrigus. After she was far enough away, he turned to the floating Ghost. "[color=ed1c24]Hey, gold leaf. You can relax now, I aint gonna bother her, assume that's the one you're actually loyal to. If I were you though, I'd go back to her side before someone else disturbs that Spiritomb.[/color]" He said before returning Bisharp to her pokeball and walking away, Absol glancing at the floating coffin one more time before following. Joshua walked over to where Amelia and Dawkin where standing, giving the other trainers a glance but otherwise paying them no mind. "[color=ed1c24]You two okay[/color]?" He asked. "[color=a187be]Yes... thank you Sensei[/color]." Amelia replied, smiling at him.
