[i]"I'm glad for you,"[/i] Mabel said with a smile on her snout. [i]"Don't overdo it though, it takes time to build up endurance for long flights. Most flying Pokémon start with wings, but Blaze and I both learned that even though we evolve with all the muscles needed for flight, we couldn't fly long distances from the first day."[/i]

[i]"Just travelling~"[/i] Penalopy said, almost singing the words and she jumped up, landing lightfooted on Gavin's head a moment later. [i]"Why do you make it sound like its a bad thing?"[/i] she asked, tapping his head with her hand. [i]"And when will you introduce your ladyfriend to me? Hmmm?"[/i]

Andy looked at the image of a majestic blue bird around Frosiien. "Right," he said. "Well, that was some years ago, I'm surprised you still remember." He grinned. "Although I understand it is hard to forget someone as awesome as me." The grin that had formed during the boast turned into a modest smile. "But thanks again for helping me that day."  
He recalled waking up in the cave, surrounded by Jynx. And when he left the next day he had seen Articuno outside. He was fairly sure he had thanked her for her help and even took a picture of her, but she had left pretty quickly. He examined the woman in front of him, he had always considered Articuno a majestic bird, but in this form she looked even better.
