[color=orchid][center][h1]Sophia Danvers[/h1] [h3]Mesalon Pokecentre[/h3][/center][/color] [@Zanavy] [@fer1323] [color=orchid]"Wha...?"[/color] Sophia and the Pokemon surrounding her pulled back at a loud buzz. Dizziness set in at her sudden motion, and she only just glimpsed the green blur before it made the most unceremonious landing. The insectoid beast steadied itself, thankfully appearing to mean no harm, judging by the way it leaned against the counter. Even so, Sophia's scowl returned. That was yet something else she could have done without. She rolled her eyes as a grungy looking man followed the bug, scolded him and apologised to the nurse. There was no point in starting an argument with the guy. She didn't have the energy for it, and Oscar would all too likely intervene, try to put things to rights. Instead, she turned to Clarus, Skoll and Nomia. [color=orchid]"Some people really need to brush up on this training thing,"[/color] she muttered under her breath, trying not to think about Grimalkin and the trashed room in Windshire. Of course, for all her efforts to ignore him and others, it wasn't long until the guy approached to pet the Growlithe. [color=orchid]"He isn't mine,"[/color] Sophia explained, [color=orchid]"but sure, his friendliness is why he's over here."[/color] Once again, she refrained from antagonising the newcomer. For one, Skoll seemed to enjoy the attention. The other reason was, as she'd always been told, wasn't it better to draw people in than drive them away? [color=orchid]"You see, I'm mostly a Psychic type trainer,"[/color] she continued. [color=orchid]"After all..."[/color] Hiding strain behind a smirk, she made the Bronzor's empty Pokeball rise into the air. [color=orchid]"Like attracts like."[/color] She'd keep things simple, she told herself as the weight seemed to grow. Even in her current state, she wouldn't mess up this time. She'd make a better impression than she had on Rachel. It was just one Pokeball. That shouldn't be too much... Yet it was. The room felt and looked to be tilting as she slid from the chair. Clarus reacted right away. With a cry of "Zor!", the mirror Pokemon used its own telekinetic ability to grasp hold of Sophia. Being a low level Pokemon, Clarus could only slow her fall rather than stop it, yet it meant the impact she'd braced herself for didn't happen. Instead, she settled like a marionette lowered into a heap, the Pokeball rolling past her. [color=orchid]"Ugh..."[/color] The mentally and physically exhausted girl couldn't bring herself to look at anyone. She'd avoided injury to her body, but her pride was a different matter. She could picture the disappointment in her mother's eyes if she were here.

The area looked ordinary enough, the dirt patch clear of items, to her disappointment. [i]At least this means we're closer to it,[/i] the researcher told herself. "Ita!" Lacey called, pointing in the general direction the feeling emanated from. She turned her head from side to side, but the signals were faint and fuzzy. If a Pokemon was involved... Maybe it was of a certain type that was notoriously hard to read. Decus, possibly owing to his Ghost typing, had fewer difficulties. Lacey drew back as the sword Pokemon leapt up and carved patterns in the dirt. Before long, a pawprint shape had formed. In an instant, Amber had her Pokedex out. [color=chocolate]"Hmm, seems like some kind of rodent,"[/color] she said, scrolling through an extensive list of Pokemon. The discovery of a clue didn't reassure her, quite the opposite in fact. If Lacey and Decus had uncovered a footprint while focused on this task, then it was connected to the missing parcel, meaning it hadn't been an accident. [color=chocolate]"A Sandshrew? No, they're smaller..."[/color] Tacita swooped over to the shrub by the pawprint, plucking something from a branch and dropping it at Amber's feet. "Row! Rowlet!" Crouching down, Amber studied the tuft of black fur. [color=chocolate]"Well that narrows it down..."[/color] After a few more button presses, an image popped up on the screen. A bipedal, dark-furred mammal, a red feather on its left ear, sharp claws jutting from its hands and feet. Amber held up the Pokedex, showing Aedre the picture of the Sneasel.
