"[color=a187be]You're friends with Mister Jacques? Have you two known each other long?[/color]" Amelia asked, her curiousity getting the better of her for a moment before she got back on track about her problem and began thinking about it. Dorian was right, strength wasn't really a goal but rather a tool. And if she wanted freedom, she didn't need strength right away, she knew that. She could grow at her own pace, build up her strength over time and try to speed things up with the situation called for it. She didn't need to push herself to get something she didn't feel a need to have. When he brought up her pokemon, she glanced down at her pokeballs and then up to Litwick. Pulling all five off her belt, she threw them up, releasing everyone, including her new Honedge, and watched them as they appeared and let out their cries before floating around her, looking at her in concern. Except for Honedge, who watched more in interest to see what she was do.

Taking a few more moments to gather herself, she took a deep breathe before finally smiling.
"[color=a187be]Thank you, Master Dorian. I think I just... needed someone to talk to, to listen to my thoughts and help me organize them. You're right though. I'm going to continue the same way I started. With no direction in mind and wherever my feet take me. To change who I am or what I want to do or be would be a betrayal to myself and to the pokemon who agreed to join me. I cannot thank you enough for all the help you've just offered me.[/color]" She said, bowing to him.
