[i]"I honestly don't know,"[/i] Mabel said, looking at the Charmander. [i]"I don't know enough about that to give any predictions. I hope you do if that is what you want."[/i] 
She smiled at Ixia, who's enthusiasm was endearing. 

Mindy waited for Gavin to try on the new clothes and kept herself busy on her phone. After looking at where the shop was, luckily it wasn't far away from here, she went to check the latest Trainer News, but there wasn't anything exciting happening right now. She glanced to the changing booth, thinking Gavin was an unusual man, but one she definitely wanted to get to know better. He was certainly a unique man, and she liked that.

Penalopy pouted when Fez berated her, but looked at Mindy when Fez talked more about her. [i]"This is wonderful!"[/i] she exclaimed, [i]"I'm so happy for Gavin!"[/i] she quickly put her hands over her mouth when she realised she spoke a little too hard. [i]"I think it's best to find James. See you around,"[/i] she whispered, trying to make up for the earlier exclamation, and disappeared between the clothes.

Michael then looked at his Arcanine.
[i]"Only if the gym leader has three opponents,"[/i] she said. [i]"Otherwise I'm fine letting the young ones battle,"[/i] with a sideway glance she looked at Missy. [i]"Some of them have a lot of energy."[/i]
"That's settled then," Michael said, turning to Lytse and Marie. "Marie, you can sit on my shoulder, I'll let Mindy know where she can find us."
The Dunsparce nodded and started crawling towards Michael, with Lytse walking next to her.

With Varina in his arms, Andy pushed through the revolving door and stepped into the lobby. He noticed professor Elm and put Varina on the floor with Kim before walking to him.
"A new Pokémon?" Elm asked.
"Yes, I found her last night," Andy said, and brought the conversation to what they needed to discuss.
Kim looked at Varina. [i]"It won't take long,"[/i] she said. [i]"If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up as a Guardian for Darkrai?"[/i]
