"Starfall?" Mindy repeated. Not only had Gavin not mentioned that, she had never heard about it before. "What is Starfall?"

"Gavin had said he'd take me after I asked him to take me," Andy said, joining in the conversation again, "but if he would rather invite someone else I'm fine with that." He turned to Gavin. "No hard feelings."
While he could joke about his ego getting hurt or that Gavin didn't love him anymore, he decided not to do that. There was a time for everything, and now wasn't the time to be joking around. Of course he wanted to go, for a researcher this was a golden opportunity to learn more about the Legendary Pokémon - although the few encounters he already had, had taught him they knew very little of them - but he wouldn't force Gavin into doing something he didn't want.

Since the others were talking about Gavin and who he'd take, Michael decided to answer Mindy's question. "It's a gathering of Legendary Pokémon," he explained. "I've never been to it so I can't say more, but Niccia invited me for the event."

Kim's ears drooped a bit. [i]"He doesn't care about her. Andy would fight to get any of us back and I'm sure Niccia would do that for you too. It's sad if Varina is considered disposable. I'll make sure she'll never feel like that here!"[/i]

Merlin nodded to the explanation. [i]"I see,"[/i] he said, excepting the news as it was. Somehow Andy had gotten the attention of a Legendary Pokémon and he wondered how that had happened. After Niccia and Gavin, it wasn't strange to hear about more legendaries to cross their path, but it was a surprise to hear one of them would fall for Andy, who was just a human after all, but Niccia had too. Merlin decided there was no accounting for taste.

The Pokémon Center got closer and closer and he gently flew to the building. He'd have a word with Kim, as she was the only one confirmed to be with him when this had happened.
