Alexis did not prefer getting involved. She aimed to be an idol among trainers. Running in and physically helping her Pokémon did not help her achieve that goal. She believed that any sensible trainer would allow the noticeably more capable Pokémon to hand fights with other Pokémon. If a normal trainer would do this, what sense does it make for an idol to deviate from it? Perhaps it was the stress that got her, or maybe all these inner feelings of uselessness beginning to bubble up.

If there was anything to gain from the past moment, however, it seems that it would be the leader’s respect. The Combee looked right at her and made a simple gesture in the air. The message was clear, and though Alexis didn’t understand why the Pokémon wanted this, she just did not care at the moment. She took out an empty pokeball, and threw it at the Combee.

“[color=ec008c]Pokeball, go![/color]”

The capture device converted the Pokémon into energy and closed around it. The ball twitched a few moments until… [i]Click![/i] Combee was successfully caught!

Both Alexis and Yuki sighed in relief. The wannabe idol walked up the ball and picked it up. When she woke up this morning she was planning on simple training, but apparently being around the others means that random shenanigans were bound to head her way. She returned her remaining Pokémon, and put the poke balls away. She then turned to Amber.

“[color=ec008c]Why exactly were there wild Pokémon attacking?[/color]”, she asked, still exhausted from earlier.

“[color=39b54a]Poison-type Pokémon…I see.[/color]”

A grimer being tossed out of the water system made their cover story useless. It also didn’t help that they threatened him immediately when it fell through. Deneb turned his head to the Grimer and just stared at it for a moment. Edea, knowing her trainer best, recognized it as him planning a way to subdue it in this afforded moment of inaction. She took initiative and whispered to Helioptile to prepare. Slowly, the electric Pokémon began to Charge.

Deneb returned his gaze to the adults. Their shenanigans will surely get in his way this time. He made his decision.

“[color=39b54a]You’ve been deemed an obstacle to my goal.[/color]”

Deneb took out his recently caught Sewaddle and told her to String Shot the adult humans to hinder and bind them. Though confused, she obeyed, expecting an explanation afterwards. At the same time, Edea had Helioptile made a move, and attack grimer with a charged Thundershock.
