"Of course they do," Mindy said, it surprised her Gavin didn't know that, but maybe she was more used to tourists from all the regions than he was, but it was odd that he hadn't needed to use any money before today. "If you want to go we can go." She turned around to see if her Pokémon were done eating and that seemed to be the case. She turned to Michael. "I won't take Mabel with me and maybe Marie wants to stay too. Could you..." "Yeah, sure," Michael said. "I'll keep an eye on them while you are away." "Thanks." Mindy started to collect her Pokémon, going to Tim first. After she had returned him, she went to where Lytse and Marie were. "I'm going shopping with Gavin," she said to her Dunsparce. "Do you want to come or hang out with Lytse for a bit?" Marie looked from her trainer to the Cyndaquil and shuffled closer to him. "Okay then," Mindy said, "have fun." As Mindy went to her Pokémon, Michael turned to Niccia again. "I'm sure he'll be fine. He's strong and smart." He watched Mindy and the corners of his mouth lifted. "I'm sure Gavin will be fine too," he added in a hushed voice. Blaze looked at the small Charmander. To think he was once just as small, it seemed a lifetime ago. [i]"Because she normally uses the morning to read up on the gym we will visit that day. She hasn't done any preparation yet."[/i] Mabel looked at Ixia. [i]"I've noticed a good, flat roof here in Goldenrod. IF your trainer agrees I can take you there."[/i]. Speaking about trainers, she noticed Mindy approach them. "I'm going to the store with Gavin," she said. "You can stay here if you want, Mabel. But I would like to take you with me, Blaze." Blaze nodded and turned to Charcoal. [i]"Until next time he said,"[/i] as the red light of the Pokéball engulfed him and pulled him in the container. Ava laughed when the small Pokémon requested to climb on the Onix next to her. Vic, on the other hand, did not seem amused. He lowered his head to Sparky. [i]"Do I look like a toy to you?"[/i] he grumbled. In reality he'd barely notice the Pokémon running over his rocky body, but that didn't mean he enjoyed the thought of being crawled and bounced on. [i]"Ava may like transporting people on her back. I do not."[/i] It was to his relief when he saw Mindy walking towards them, he had seen she had returned two of her team already and he hoped he would be next. It would save him from this insolent little Pokémon. "I'm going into town," she said as she neared her Pokémon. "Ready to go?" Vix nodded quickly, a bit too quick perhaps, and Ava nodded serenely. "You will have more time to talk to them later," Mindy promised the Pokémon of Michael and Niccia that had joined them, as she took the two Pokéballs and returned them. With that she was all done and ready to leave. She turned around to see if Gavin was too. Anthony was done eating. The friend, but not girlfriend, of Michael had collected most of her Pokémon. He looked at Michael, but it didn't seem he was preparing to leave. He hopped over to Lytse and Marie, as much as he liked Jycii, they were more of his own size and the Dunsparce seemed to be a friend, so he wanted to meet her. Benny observed it all from the tree as he finished his breakfast. [i]"I'll make sure to talk to Michael,"[/i] he said. [i]"It's so good he can understand Pokémon, it makes things so much easier."[/i]
