<Snipped quote by Joshua Tamashii> Yep, was offline for a bit but all set now, will be putting up a short post now.
It occurs to me you were probably waiting on me again, I'm sorry! Would it be best to establish a posting order (at least for this group of characters)?

Without a thought, Clarissa reached out a hand and ruffled the top of the smaller child's head, a thing that felt as familiar to do as she could remember a hand doing the same to her little head years ago. It was such a strange reflex, however, that the psychic paused for an actual moment in a bit of personal surprise, before visibly more awkwardly pulling her hand and arm back to her own side again. Ahem. Something about this girl made her want to....well, she supposed be a bit extra nice to her. Not that she'd done anything wrong, she was just sharing her thoughts on the battle was all. Still, the familiar note she felt from her was still, as it had been since seeing her first in the building, present and accounted for. Hmm.
"S-Sorry. Ahem.
But there's nothing to be sorry about on your end. You made a thought out and astute observation there, Amelia, and one that happened to be along the same lines as my own post-battle thoughts on the matter as well. Tors was a most defensive opponent, and we lacked move coverage to best counteract the defensive advantage. It was one reason I went with trying to get our attack up higher, enough to try to get the lead, and by leveraging our speed as soon as we could start."
"Sorry for what?" he asked. Clarissa then spoke up with a detailed explanation of why she shouldn't be sorry, and Nils nodded his head again. He didn't have much to add, besides a small grin and a playful comment. "Plus with you acting as announcer and your post-match thoughts, it's like you're really a judge. Makes it feel kind of official."
If Amelia's face had been red before, it somehow got even redder, spreading to her neck and ears. One could practically see the steam coming out of her head. She quickly covered this up by pulling her hoodie over her head, for once thankful that she was so small, as she hoped that fact would help her hide her face. Phantump flew over to look at her face, silently snickering as it saw her embarrassed expression, causing the child to let out an audible whimper.
Thankfully, the attention on her was very temporary as Clarissa and Nils soon began moving towards the closest pokecenter. Amelia followed behind the two of them, slowly calming down as they walked. While they traveled, Clarissa brought up an offer to go exploring the sewers together. This was enough to kinda shock her out of her embarrassment, both because she had not been expecting to be invited but also due to fear. By the time they reached the pokecenter, she had lowered her hood and was much closer to her normal, pale skin tone. While Clarissa and Nils waited for their partners to be looked after, Amelia pondered on whether it would be safe for her to join them in the sewers or not. She had to be careful. She didn't know what the sewers would be like but sanitary was probably not one of them. She knew stress, especially physical stress, could make her heart act up but she didn't know how environment might factor into it.
When the two older trainers inevitably turned to her for an answer, Amelia answered slowly, with a clear air of uncertainty. "I'm... not certain. I want to join but... it might be better if I didn't. I... I would like to travel with you two if you would have me but... I worry that I'll just slow you down or be a burden. If possible, can I say out of the sewers but join you two when you're done? Please?" She said, her tone pleading at the end.

Amelia's cheeks turned red at Nil's compliment as she stood back once the battle commenced, Phantump floating by her side and watching with equal interest. Both trainers started out by increasing their defenses but both quickly switched to offense. It started greatly in Clarissa's favor, with Sir Lopsalot using it's superior speed and mobility to land some hits and under most circumstances, she knew Power-Up Punch would start swinging things in the female trainers favor. But she noted that despite powering up, Sir Lopsalot's blows never seemed to deal more damage. Mudbray's defenses seem to be increasing with each hit. It's a bad match-up for Miss Clarissa by the looks of it. Amelia thought to herself as she watched the battle with a certain intensity. Even if she wasn't in the battle herself, she could still try to learn something from what was happening in front of her. It was hard to tell who would win, the fast and acrobatic Sir Lopsalot or the grounded but tanky Mudbray. It would eventually come on to a single clash but Amelia had a feeling she knew who would come out on top at that point. It was as she suspected and Mudbray came out on top, it Sir Lopsalot being knocked out. Remembering her roll as judge, she stepped forward. "Sir Lopsalot is unable to battle. Mud... Tors is the winner!"
Her face red yet again, she slowly moved over to the older trainers as they talked about what to do next. She heard Nils mentioning getting Sir Lopsalot and Tors healed. She knew there was a pokecenter nearby but she didn't say anything in regards to that as she was certain Clarissa knew where it was. Instead, she focused on the battle. "It... it was a good battle. I... I think it was... a bit in Tors' favor though. Tors is studier and only got more sturdy as the battle went on. Sir Lopsalot would need to move more unpredictably to make use of it's better speed. But Tors had a move that had a type-advantage against Sir Lopsalot while Sire Lopsalot didn't have one for Tors... S-sorry." She said, mumbling the apology while looking at the ground, her face growing steadily redder.

A lot was happening and it was very hard for Amelia to keep track of it all. Some people left quickly, some stayed behind to talk and plan to travel together or to battle each other, and others just... did things she couldn't really keep track of with everything else going on. So, she focused on the things and people that seemed to directed at her, which where Nils, Clarissa, and the battle they were planning on having. It was the talk of this battle that seemed draw the adults attention, as the new trainers were quickly told that battle in the lab would not be tolerated. This was something the young medium could understand. Taking note of this, it seemed both Clarissa and Nils were set to leave, inviting Amelia to come along and watch the battle.
Amelia actually was surprised that both of them would invite her along and it showed in the shock on her face but it quickly passed as she broke into a smile and nodded. "Okay! I'd be happy to watch!" She said happily before everyone began getting kicked out of the lab by Professor Kopac. As the man moved to return to his studies (or maybe his nap?), the young child moved over and gave him a quick hug. "Thank you for Phantump. I'll be sure to take care of him."
With that, she moved back towards Clarissa and Nils, giving the Professor one last wave good-bye before following the two older trainers outside and into the city. She stuck to staying behind them as they walked, trying to not fall too far behind but maintaining a respectable distance, as she still wasn't sure how the two really felt about her. They seemed friendly enough but they were still strangers and she didn't want to do anything that might make them dislike her. As they walked, she would look around at the city, actually taking it in now and enjoying the sights, occasionally letting out a gasp or excited cry when something caught her interest. All the while, she hoped that her sixth sense would pick up on a Ghost-type, as she was eager to make more friends.
Eventually, Nils and Clarissa would find a place to battle. Once they did, Amelia would move off to the side, looking for a place to sit down and watch until Nils asked if she would count them down. She was surprised once again but quickly nodded and moved to stand between the two trainers and their pokemon but with a bit of distance so she would, hopefully, avoid being caught in any crossfire, looking a bit nervous. She took a deep breath before speaking. "This will be a one-on-one battle between Mister Nils and Miss Clarissa. The first trainer who's pokemon is unable to battle will be the loser. Are you both ready?" She announced, similar to what she had heard on TV. Once they had both set out their pokemon, she made one last annoucement. "BEGIN!"
<Snipped quote by Remram> Yes, but I imagined that the little one's FIGHTING SPIRIT would be awakened by watching the fight, and then she'd kick his teeth in. With her pokemon.
... She just gives off that cibe you know? [/verynotagoodjudgeofcharacter]
Amelia is largely a pacifist. She doesn't battle often and usually catches pokemon by befriending them. That being said, she's not without her merits when it comes to battling
