[i]"I wanted to say,"[/i] James said, [i]"that it's up to none of us to decide what Niccia can deal with or when we should talk about it. While I agree that a blissful ignorance won't serve a purpose in the long run, making her worried during Starfall about something that may not happen is perhaps not needed. If Darkrai will show up, we can help Niccia. If he doesn't, she doesn't need to worry about hi,"[/i]

Penalopy hugged James. [i]"You always have good things to say~ That's why you are my guardian!"[/i]

As Michael bought a coffee from the vending machine, Mindy went into her room to change into the dress she had bought. It was nice to dress up for once; travelling around she didn't have many opportunities to do so, unless she entered a contest. 
After putting on the dress, she brushed her hair and put a ribbon in it. With all that done she called her Dunsparce with her.
"What do you think?" she asked as she turned around.
"Dunsparce!" The Dunsparce replied, nodding.

Andy turned to the person who had greeted him. Definitely a legendary Pokémon in human disguise. "You are not making it difficult for me. Humans don't greet each other with 'human'. I guess you're here for Starfall too, right?"

Merlin watched the man below. He tilted his head to the left, then to the right. This one looked familiar. The colours, the hairstyle. Could this... be the one he had talked with on that day Andy had met Frosiien? The one who had knocked Varina out of his hands with a shadow ball.

At this moment Michael emerged from the Pokémon center to give his uncle some coffee. 
"Coffee! You are my favourite nephew, you know that?"
"I'm your only nephew," Michael reminded him.
