Amelia did accept the helping hand when Jacques offered it to her and listened to him as he said his bit about the trial that she would be facing in the future and then, more importantly, the information he gave regarding the PC and who was in charge of it. To her surprise it was Professor Kalmia of all people. Knowing her next destination, she gave Jacques a slight bow.
"[color=a187be]Thank you for letting me know Mr. Jacques. I'll head to her right away. I'll also keep what you said in mind, though I don't really have any adults to turn to if I get in trouble[/color]." She said.

"[color=ed1c24]Oh geez, what am I, chopped liver to ya?[/color]" Joshua said, walking over, causing Amelia to jump in surprise as she turned towards him. He was walking with his hands in his pockets and Absol by his side. "[color=ed1c24]I spotted little miss Spooks-alot being escorted away from here, so I figured I'd come and see if you had returned. So, going to introduce me to your friend here?[/color]"

"[color=a187be]Oh. Joshua, this is Mister Jacques. He's in a competition with the Professor and a member of the Elite Four. Mr. Jacques, this is Joshua, my teacher before I began my journey.[/color]" She said.

"[color=ed1c24]A pleasure[/color]." Joshua said before turning to Amelia. "[color=ed1c24]I was looking for you to say good-bye for the time being and to wish you luck on your journey. I won't help you any further from here on, so I can't do anything more then that. If we cross paths again though, that might be a different story. Now, I think I've held you up long enough. Please, continue onwards[/color]."

"[color=a187be]Thank you[/color]." Amelia said, giving him a slight bow as well. Before leaving, she reached down and gently pet the Shedinja. "[color=a187be]Stay out of trouble okay. I hope peaceful days return to you.[/color]"

With that, she would leave the Gardens and resume her journey, heading for the Great Plains so that she could return to Lakewatch Town and from there, make her way to Pureplain. She was focused on being reunited with her other pokemon, but she wasn't going to completely ignore her surroundings, since something of interest might happen.
