Saruya lowered her head to Missy. [i]"I don't think there is anything wrong with your paws, but if you want to or deserve it I will carry you around like a small pup,"[/i] she stated. [i]"if you don't want to be carried around like that and behave, I won't do it."[/i] She did understand why Harry picked up Sparky like that, it was quite an energetic little one and it was the easiest way to get her where she needed to be. Mabel followed the small Pokémon at her own pace, with her big steps she was able to keep up with them even if she walked slowly. She kept a respectful distance to Niccia and remained silent so Charcoal and Ixia could ask for permission. As she waited, she turned to look at Michael. [i]"Marie told me about you."[/i] "What did she say?" he asked. Mabel blinked. [i]"You can... understand me?"[/i] "Ehm," Michael began, rubbing the back of his neck. "Long story..." Anthony joined Lytse and Marie. [i]"This is Marie,"[/i] Lytse introduced him. [i]"We played together at Rhando Island, before Mindy left to explore Kanto."[/i] He turned to Marie. [i]"I'm sure Benny will come say hello to, you saw him fly, didn't you?"[/i] The Dunsparce nodded and looked at the tree. As they saw Benny fly up, Lytse beckoned him with his short paw and the Butterfree came to them. [i]"Travelling did you good!"[/i] Benny said to Marie. [i]"You look strong and healthy." [/i] [i]"You look the same as the last time I saw you. But you don't battle a lot anymore, don't you?"[/i] [i]"Only when Andy is in danger. Or if he wants to humiliate an unexperienced trainer. They always make fun of me when they see me, calling me weak, but they don't know I've been with a trainer for... I don't know, twenty years or so? It's a valuable lesson for them.[/i] Mindy nodded to Gavin. "I'm ready to go," she said, waving to Michael and Mabel before she turned around to lead Gavin to a place where he could buy some new clothes. "Do you want to buy at a cheap place or a regular store." High-end stores were already scratched from the list. 'some money from Alola' didn't sound like a lot. When his Pokémon were done eating he got up and stretched his arms. "Let's go see where that nephew of mine is. He wasn't in his room." His furret jumped up to walk next to him, the Primeape followed behind. The three of them walked towards the exit of the Center.
