Aro turned to Kjolmar as he spoke after Bede left. He smiled slightly at his friends comments before speaking up himself.

“I’m sorry to have dragged you two into this, I just really wanted to shut that guy up.” He apologised 

He then looked at Luna who nodded at him knowing what Aro needed him for next.

“I think my best bet is to use Luna, considering we know Bede has beaten four gyms already he must be relatively strong and not knowing what Pokemon he will use makes me more reluctant to use Shade right now.” Aro explained

He looked at Shade who seemed to be feeling down after Bede’s harsh words. Aro felt bad, Shade had proved that she was an asset to his team in the previous gyms. Aro knew he had to make Bede pay for his words towards shade, but for now Aro comforted Shade.

“Don’t listen to him, your the strongest Dreepy I’ve ever seen! You will prove him wrong soon” Aro said to Shade
