"Oh, ehm..." what Mindy hadn't expected was him to be so happy about a simple tube scarf. The last thing she had expected was to be hugged for it. "It was my pleasure," she said, placing her hands at his side to somewhat return the hug. "I'm glad you like it." He did have a special scent though, maybe it were the unwashed clothes, but it wasn't a bad smell. She had never been so close to anyone to that she could smell them. 
She slowly freed herself from the hug. "Let's had back to the center than," she said with a shy smile.

Penalopy's eyes lit up when Dausiin mentioned Mew was with Gavin. That meant she could see Mew and play with her soon. She let out a small squeak that sounded like a melody, but she became more serious when Dausiin mentioned the human again.
[i]"You can invite him, I'd like to meet him. But I may choose my own human if you really believe we need them for our safety."[/i] She glanced back to Gavin and her jaw dropped. She grabbed Dausiins head to make him look at Gavin. [i]"Look! He's hugging her!"[/i]

[i]"No way,"[/i] James said as he too looked at it. [i]"Fez! Look!"[/i]

Whitney nodded at Niccia's remark. "Just do what makes you and your Pokémon happy. Some people have a predetermined idea about what it means to be a trainer, but don't let anyone dictate you what to do."

Michael grinned like a child getting candy when Niccia praised him, that was even better than getting the badge. He hadn't felt he had done a particular good job as a trainer, but they had won. He knelt down next to Missy and stroke the fur on her back. "Well done, girl. Would you like to rest in your Pokéball now."

Saruya nudged Harry with her head. [i]"You are still my handsome Arcanine,"[/i] she told him. She gave him a small lick on the snout and started running back to the city. They would have to locate their trainers, but with their keen smelling that would be no problem. The new look would surprise or maybe even shock Niccia, but she was sure Niccia would accept it as quickly as she had accepted Soul's new look.

"I try to be," Andy stated with a grin, going to the door of the café. "So, it's time for you to hydrate with warm scented water and for Mitch and me to give in to our coffee addiction. I think with everything a man can be addicted to, it might as well be coffee." He looked at the Delibird. "Right?"

[i]"Why does that make you worried?"[/i] Kim whispered, looking at Mitch. The hint of worry in his voice also showed in his eyes. She noticed Andy had stopped in front of the building and was looking back at them, but she hadn't really been paying attention to what he had said.
