"Fantastic," Andy said to Frosiien. "With a beautiful woman like you cheering for us we can't lose." He listened to Varina and then to Frosiien's translation of her words. "We'll let Bear have his fun first," hesaid to Varina. "Before we do any gym battles I want to see how you do against Benny."

[i]"Less talk, more fighting,"[/i] Bear said as he grabbed Andy's arm and started pulling him along. [i]"This way, I know where the gym is."[/i]
"Oh, sure Bear, lead the way," Andy said, guessing Bear wanted to fight now rather than later. He looked back to his Pokémon. "Who is with us?" He saw Merlin snooze and Benny waving goodbye as he flew around Michael, so they wouldn't come along, but Kim quickly followed him.

Lytse finally started to feel at peace, even the mention of the Mightyena didn't make him afraid. Soul would protect him and Michael was with him. Things were fine, for now. He looked up when he heard Andy ask about who was with him, but he saw Michael didn't move, so it looked like they would stay here.
