[i]"In my experience, most fire-types do,"[/i] Mabel said as she closed her eyes. It was nice to lie here in the sun. She opened one eye to see what Ixia was doing and closed it again. The little ones were her responsibility now and she would keep an eye on them. But unless they did something foolish like balancing on the elevated edge of the roof, nothing could happen here. 

Mindy looked at the other shirt. "That is also a nice," she said, looking at both colours. "I think darker suits you better, but you'll have to try it on to really see it. You'll want some dark-blue jeans with them." She turned and pointed at the trouser section. 
Only a handful of other customers were shopping here, but most were women browsing the female section. Mindy had no desire to check out what they had for sale here, she had enough clothes with her, buying more was just extra weight.

As Andy walked away, Michael turned to Niccia and nodded. There wasn't much he could do now, so he would just put his faith in his uncle and avoid worrying about it. Especially since he had other things to worry about. Like Darkrai. With Souls new colour he couldn't help but think about the Legendary Pokémon who had taken him once and almost twice.
Another thought best pushed back.
"What are the plans for today?" he asked Niccia. He needed to talk about something simple like that. "I mean, we could check out the gym."

Bear looked in Soul's direction, turned his attention back on Lytse and then jerked his head in Soul's direction again. [i]"Whoa,"[/i] he said as he ran towards the Absol. [i]"The colour of your fur changed! Did you paint it?'[/i] He rubbed his hand over Soul's back to see if the colour would come off, but it didn't. [i]"What's with the new look?"[/i]

Andy reached the front of the Pokémon Center and stood there for a moment, before he started walking down the street. "If you want me to carry you, just say so," he said as he looked at Varina. "Or kick- no throw your keystone in my calf to get my attention. Just not too hard, okay? I don't want to limp the rest of the way." 
He looked at his Furret. "And you, stay with her, okay?"
Kim nodded to the order and smiled at Varina.
