Mindy nodded slowly. "Of course," she said, showing a smile now. "Let's get you those pants now." She watched Gavin say something to Blaze she couldn't understand, but she saw the Charizard nod. That made her feel better. 
It was still hard to believe she was actually talking to Mewtwo, now that she was getting used to the idea she had around a ton of questions for him, but that would have to wait.

Penalopy floated to Gavin and hang in front of his face. "Are you going to-" 
[i]"Pokémon language, miss Penalopy,"[/i] James quickly said.
"-Starfall too?" she asked as if James hadn't said a thing. The Mime Jr. sighed.

"Starfall?" Mindy asked.

"I'm Whitney," the gym leader introduced herself. "Here, let me open the gym." She unlocked the door and went inside first, turning on some lights as she walked further. "Are you here for a battle?" she asked.
"We are." Michael said.
"I can only take on one now. After that my Pokémon will need a moment to rest or heal." She had a happy smile. "Otherwise the next battle wouldn't be fair, would it?"

Saruya looked around to pinpoint where the voice came from. [i]"Dumb puppies?"[/i] she repeated. [i]"Who said that. Show yourself!"[/i] she barked. Her body was tense, ready to jump into action when needed.

"Perfect," Andy said. "I'm going to do my work before Kim gets mad at me and I'll meet you in a moment." He winked and turned to where he saw something that looked like a newspaper shelf. 
[i]"Yes..."[/i] Kim sighed. At least Andy seemed focussed on the reason they had come to this place. She didn't walk with him, as long as Varina stayed here she'd stay with her.
