Nodding, Renata couldn't help but smile. She'd expected Harry to make his excuses and leave, but he was actually willing to team up in pursuit of the Treasures of Ruin. Between the two of them, they could do this. [color=5E549E]"Yep! Can't say I have much teamwork experience either, but..."[/color] She turned pensive, eyebrows furrowing. [color=5E549E]"It's said these Pokemon were born from negative emotions that took on lives of their own. That's how a few ghost types are created, like Banette and Sandygast. So it's a safe bet that the Treasures of Ruin are ghosts too."[/color]

A type they both had an advantage and a disadvantage over. Ghosts were particularly vulnerable to attacks from other ghosts. Normal types weren't, far from it in fact as they were completely unaffected, but their regular moves couldn't inflict damage on them either. [color=5E549E]"They do sound like forces to be reckoned with, but if we cover each other's weaknesses, I'm sure it'll be fine."[/color]

Nox wasn't so certain, shrinking back from the talk of powerful Pokemon. [color=5E549E]"It's ok, we can stop by a few gyms to train up along the way,"[/color] Renata reassured her. Maera, meanwhile, showed much more enthusiasm about the prospect of a journey, bouncing around the trainers' feet and barking. Renata leaned down and scratched the Greavard's ears, her little smile widening. The treasure hunt - the [i]literal[/i] treasure hunt - was about to begin.

[color=5E549E]"So,"[/color] she asked Harry, after a quick glance to make sure Adam wasn't anywhere nearby to trash talk them. Best to start on their way before they could run into him again. [color=5E549E]"Where to first?"[/color]
