It wasn't long into that when the two would arrive back. Hoothoot was resting happily on Leo's head, Terra laying on his shoulder, while the Shinx was bounding around Ema's legs with Tyr. The two had made quick work of getting their new additions to warm up to them in their own ways. Leo glanced around the area, noticing the remnants of the crowd that had been pooling around here, still drawing some eyes. Now, the two of them were also drawing those eyes. He knew that was a possibility, being the two trainers that the Champion himself was mentoring, but...that didn't make it any more comfortable.

Ema, on the other hand, was oblivious to it. Ignoring the Champion himself, she walked right up to Kick, a wide smile on her face. [color=red]"Hey, buddy. You having a nice day out too?"[/color] she asked. She had easily warmed up to the Blaziken, much more than the gruff Isaac. Her Pokemon had different ideas. Shinx let out a sharp cry, bristling slightly in challenge at the much stronger Pokemon. This only made Ema grin a bit more. He definitely had a fighting spirit. That would be good for the gym challenge. She couldn't have asked for a better second teammate.

Leo nervously moved up to Isaac, scratching the back of his head. [color=mediumpurple]"I hope we didn't make you wait long, sir."[/color]
