Margo was surprised at the hesitance coming from Indy--he seemed like such a confident and cocky person, why wouldn't he be jumping on the idea of exploring part of a new trail and getting new pokemon and training? Her head whipped back to Dan as he just gave a shrug to his friend's explanation of training elsewhere. She felt caught in the middle; she wasn't keen on returning to Mt. Leeman, but Dan seemed self-assured, as if moving up the trail wouldn't be a problem for him. He seemed like he was a good trainer, in her opinion, and she was worried this would lead him to press on ahead and leave her in the dust... Maybe the gym was a good idea?

However, Dan was already reassuring her they'd stay at the base... in which case, why wouldn't Indy come? Maybe he was a scaredy cat as well. He owed her the pleasure of kicking his butt in battle after the way he treated her little Poinsettia. The little Scatterbug offered no help on her choice as she lazed around her neck like a limp white scarf, snoring softly in Margo's ear. [color=mediumseagreen]"Wait, Dan, I think Indy must be scared of a little battle between me and him. After all, why not join us on the trail? Are you worried I'd beat you in a battle?"[/color] The red-head put on her best smug smirk, placing her hands on her hips matter-of-factly, as she walked towards Indy. [color=mediumseagreen]"I'd be willing to join you at the gym, but only if you take me on in a battle."[/color]
