Nessie glared, because as far as she knew, she wasn't crying"You need to go back to school, this is anger, not tears, or didn't your mother teach you the difference between emotions!" Solias was by her side in an instant, not liking the way he was yelling at her. She waved a hand for him not to worry, and said, "There's a difference between a battle, and just being a plain arrogant jerk!" She put Torchic's pokeball away carefully. "You just wanted to show that off, and that isn't a good enough reason for a battle!" Mistreatment of pokemon annoyed her, and thats just what he had done. She turned away from him, "You are a sexist pig, and no girl will ever like that attitude" She stormed away, moving back towards Anabelle and continued speaking to her as if nothing happened, "My mother is a pokemon breeder, and she taught me everything I Know. I tried so hard to catch a pokemon when I was ten, but to no luck. And then I helped a trainer out with his pokemon, and he gave me Solias's egg in thank you. Oh, I did everything I could to make the egg feel warm and safe, and for it to hatch. Pichu was so cute, and then he evolved into Pikachu, and I loved him even more. When I came here, I found Torchic's egg. I spent a while just in the town back there hatching her, and trained her some, before starting my adventure!"

I think I probably know every single pokemon in the pokedex, at least by sight, if not by name. I was an obsessed child" She smiled
