Yup, she's pissed. Now that was not surprising. Basil had completely expected her demeanor to do a complete 180 as soon as he made his request, but what he did not expect was her to actually agree to his request. Frankly, he expected to be turned into paste against the concrete, but that was probably not off the table. Basil really wanted to return that same energy that she was giving him though he was already on thin ice enough as it was. Anything he could say could cause the gym leader to change her mind, so he held his tongue.

He glanced over to Amelia and said, [color=8882be]"Amelia, go explore a bit. I won't be long."[/color] Basil turned to the very reluctant Lake Watcher with a determined gaze. [color=8882be]"Lead the way."[/color]
