@fer1323 I've been talking to Heckno12, and all I'm gonna let on is he can be pretty evil.

Oh, and considering Alexis already has an Eevee, I assume there's nothing stopping you from getting one. I'm going to get my third Pokemon soon.

@fer1323 Careful you don't give Heckno12 ideas... Though I doubt there'll be a Snorlax this early on. I hope I'm not tempting fate...

@fer1323 Apparently all these gym battles are going to be pretty tough. @Heckno12 How many Pokemon are we going to need?

Sophia turned around to see the man she'd spoken to in the cafeteria earlier following her. "Oh, I'm not heading out just yet," she replied. "Not when I've still got plans for this town. Uh..." She trailed off. Besides the gym battle, she didn't have any plans. "I was thinking of, um... Looking around. Finding some items, and some more Pokemon. Then, on to the gym battle."

A passer-by gave her a strange look at the mention of the gym battle, which she ignored. She turned back to face the man, and her confident grin returned.

"If you want to come along anyway, I'd gladly give you the privilege of exploring with me. I'm not the kind of travelling partner you'll meet every day." She took out her parasol and repeated her usual trick, throwing it in the air and using her power to make it snap open, this time spinning it around a few times before directing it to her hand. She posed and smirked.

The trick had allowed her to demonstrate how much she'd recovered. Even so, she reminded herself not to overdo it... today was going to be a busy day, after all. She hoped her mother wouldn't contact her like that again, getting her to drain herself sending psychic messages back. It would be much more convenient to just get phone calls or emails, but she knew why her mother had done that. It was yet another test, which was why much of the maintaining of the link had been left to her. Of course, the conversation must have taken someone like her mother very little effort, even across such a distance.

"And later, you can watch me get my gym badge. Come on, then." She started heading in the direction of the seafront. "I'm Sophia, by the way."

@Aspen Wren It's ok. Is anyone going to find Emma, or is Maia going to have to get her out of this?

"Interrogation technique?" Sophia looked at the TV, frowning. "That doesn't sound like anything good..." Ok, Team Noble obviously weren't up to anything good either. She'd heard some of the stories on the Internet, along with some of the theories. People being kidnapped and returned with no memories of what happened... The erased memories could be due to some kind of psychic ability, that of a Pokemon or a human. She knew about what some of the most powerful psychics were capable of. But why? What were this team's motives?

As dangerous as Team Noble sounded, though, she'd hardly taken a liking to the detective trying to uncover them. It could all have just been a hoax, anyway.

She was glad when Rheese, who didn't like the guy any more than she did, asked to have the channel changed. She paid little attention to the show the nurse switched to - she wasn't in the mood for TV, or for hanging out in the Pokecentre much longer, for that matter. "Well, I've got better things to do than watch garbage on TV," she said, straightening her back, her mask of confidence once again in place. "See you around."

With that, she left the Pokecentre. She hadn't exactly had the best start to her day, but she'd find some way to make up for that.

@LuckyBlackCat Or attempting to imitate what he does instead of asking, maybe not to the best results though.

@Heckno12

Yes. Yes that's going to happen. XD

Pokemon Spiral

@Heckno12 I'm picturing Sophia acting like she knows it all. It's not like she'd ask for help, at least not at first.

Pokemon Spiral

@Heckno12 Ok. You say Rheese is used to the outdoors, so is he going to have to teach Sophia and Alexis a few things?

Pokemon Spiral

@Heckno12 Another random thought: Around how long should travelling to Mesalon take? You said we'll be around lv15 by the time we do the gym battle, and I was thinking of what fer said about being in the wild. I'm guessing we'd better stock up on potions as we won't be anywhere near a Pokecentre (that won't be easy for Sophia, with her limited money), and will we be able to find berries/other items along the way?

Also... @fer1323 This means you may just have a Combusken in time for the gym battle, so that'll be an advantage. Unless the gym leader has a Normal/Flying type.
