Upon hearing cool hat mans favor to ask Luffy just grinned, he had no problem battling for this cool guy, he was someone he respected. Giving him a little salute he jumped down into the sand in front of him pulling Hat down a bit lower. If he was going to battle he made sure that others saw that he was ready! After all there wasn't any point of battling if it wasn't to fight for someone you respected!
Seeing the Aipom jump in front of him Ampersand's shoulders slumped in relief. Ok so this was the first time he was going to battle with pokemon but hey all he had to do was loose so there wasn't a lot of pressure on him! "All right, umm I guess we can battle." He really had no idea what he was doing.
"Okay so you decided to stop lying! Don't worry I wont hold it against you if you become my boy friend!" She gave an excited giggle. "Ok lets go Mick!" She tossed out a pokeball to reveal... A Rattata, one that didn't look very strong either.
Ampersand stared down at the little pokemon and groaned. He really did not want this girl hanging around him all day! He also didn't want Luffy to loose to something like this! Hell could Luffy loose to something like this? He hoped that Robin came and rescued him from this battle.
Robin woke up with a start and frowned slightly before sitting up suddenly awake and not sure what had woken her up. Shrugging slightly Robin looked around for Luffy to see if it had been him. Surprise, surprise! Luffy wasn't there. Just about to get up Robin noticed a note on her blanket, picking it up she scanned the note curiously before a bright red blush covered her face. Oh god Ampersand had seen her in her pj's how embarrassing! Well at least she knew where Luffy was now. Grabbing her stuff again she headed to the bathroom.
After a minute she appeared again in the bathing suit her mom and her had gotten. Feeling a bit embarrassed but trying to ignore it Robin headed off to the beach hoping that she could find the two there. What she did find though as she walked through the sand was surprising.
It seemed like two girls had mistaken Ampersand for a trainer since Luffy was with him and had challenged him. It also seemed that Ampersand had no idea what he was doing and really wanted out of this. Giggling slightly she decided to watch for a second before going to rescue him.

Kirsa was quite glad when she was finally released, taking a step back, her face a delicate shade of red from embarrassment. Why was the taller girl treating her as if she was a small child? Was it because of her height? "I don't know about picking fights with the party-goers, but if a challenge presents itself then I will accept." Watching the other girl, Kirsa got the distinct impression that she wished to battle, right here and now. It would be two battles for the crowd to watch; she had to admit, that sounded like it would be entertaining. In response to the query the cadet-in-training gave a single nod. "You are correct. I started this morning, actually; and since there is no Dragonite in my ball, I get the feeling that you would not get much of a fight out of me." Looks like the fight wasn't meant to be. Perhaps in the future, then.

Jaeshan couldn't help but notice when the girls approached the tall guy lounging in the chair, and somehow they managed to talk him into a battle of sorts. Jaeshan felt a little sorry for him, since it kinda looked like he didn't know what he was doing. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a rather attractive redheaded girl making her way through the people and sand. It took Jaeshan a few seconds to recognize her though and when he did he almost didn't believe his eyes. It was the girl who owned that Aipom from last night - Robin. Jaeshan looked back towards Combusken after he realized he'd been staring, feeling a bit of a blush creeping into his cheeks. Combusken only looked up at him and continued to grin, oblivious of all the strange human emotions going on around them.
Jaeshan winced under the punishing rays of the sun and he glanced up at the gorgeous blue sky before he pulled off his shirt and tossed it on the empty beach chair he'd claimed. Combusken tilted her head and clapped in approval - it seemed that she though her trainer was attractive enough, at least by human standards anyway.
"Oh, your Combusken is just adorable! She looks really healthy too," came a female voice from behind him. Jaeshan turned towards the water, his eyes growing wide as his gaze came to rest on a girl, who was maybe only two inches or so shorter than he was, not to mention that she had long, golden blonde hair that sparkled in the sunlight and eyes that matched the colour of the water behind her. She was barefoot, and wearing a crimson red and rather revealing bikini. "I don't suppose you'd like to battle with me, would you Sweetie?"
"I... uh... sure," was all the blonde boy could utter. "What... how... stuff?"
The girl just laughed. "Well, I guess you could call me a novice of sorts," she said with a shrug, "so I was thinking two Pokemon each? Oh, and by the way, my name is Stacey."
"Jaeshan," he nodded, deciding that he wasn't going to try to speak more than he had to. Stacey giggled and plucked a Pokeball from a nifty little strap she wore around her wrist. She tossed it out and a small, pink Clefairy appeared in the sand in front of her.

As Robin watched Ampersand try to battle, he was actually doing pretty good considering that half of the time the Rattata was falling asleep, she noticed another battle starting up pretty close. Glancing over she looked for a second before realizing that it was the guy that had helped her out last night. "Good luck with your battle Jaeshan!" She called giving him a wave before deciding to go save poor Ampersand. Walking over she reached up and tapped Ampersand on the shoulder. "Oi, what do you think you are doing using my pokemon?" She was teasing, the poor guy didn't look like he had started this.
Upon hearing Robin's voice Ampersand nearly cried in relief, it wasn't manly but he really wanted out of this. "Oh thank god you are here. I told them that he wasn't my pokemon but they didn't believe me." He sighed before putting a hand on her back and pushing her forward. "You finish this battle."
"You mean that isn't your pokemon!" The girl cried looking extremely depressed.
"I told you before but you insisted on a battle, I am not a pokemon trainer." Ampersand scoffed. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and he snapped his fingers. "Ah yes Robin, I don't know how this got on me but for some reason this was with me when I got to the beach." Reaching into his pocket where the miniaturized pokeball was he handed her Brooks pokeball.
Robin blinked, she hadn't even realized Brook had been missing. "Oh thank you. " She didn't want to admit that she hadn't noticed he was missing.
The other girls were whispering between each other before they recalled the Rattata and came over anyway. "Is she your girl friend?"
"Isn't she a bit young for you?"
Robin just huffed she really wasn't happy with people just dumping on her like that. She was about to say something when Ampersand cut her off.
"She isn't my girlfriend she's my daughter." His voice was friendly as he looked at the two blue eyes behind his sunglasses didn't waver and if Robin didn't know better she would have believed him.
The two girls stopped and stared at the two. The news that Ampersand was her dad was not what they wanted to hear. "Oh... Sorry for all that. Umm I hope you two have fun at the party..."
"Yah bye!"
When they left Robin frowned and shoved Ampersand. "What is up with you lying about me!" She huffed slightly and pouted as Ampersand just grinned at her.
"It got them to leave didn't it?" He joked before he went back to lounging in his chair.
Luffy watched the whole exchange through wide eyes before running over and jumping up onto her shoulder. He didn't really care if there was sand in his fur and he was now getting it all over Robin. He chattered happily at her before nudging her hat, he approved! Even if it was a bit big.
"Hey Luffy! Your getting sand down my top!" She pouted she wasn't really upset it was just really uncomfortable! "Anyway Ampersand. I am going to go watch Jeashans battle. YOU can stay here and get in more trouble." Ampersand chuckled as Robin walked over to watch the battle going on near them.

Kurine was searching the grass again, searching for wild Pokemon, of course, when she stood and saw another trainer. Their eyes met for a second, then the boy broke into a smile and said, "Our eyes met! That means a battle!"
"Huh?" Kurine blinked and stared at the other trainer, confused.
"Didn't you know? If two trainers' eyes meet, then it means they have to battle!" The boy told her, and smiled again. "I'm Ricky, by the way." He added, thrusting his hand toward Kurine. She had never heard that "rule" before, but shook his hand and told him her name as well.
"Okay," Ricky said. "We can each use all our Pokemon. First person who's team loses...uh, loses!" Kurine smiled when he said the last part, and could tell by his age and how he acted that he was about as new to this as she was. She unclipped Cyndaquil's Poke Ball, tossed it up into the air, and caught it again as the fire-type appeared in the beam of red light.
After making a small annoucement that he was a bird catcher, Ricky also let out his first Pokemon, a Pidgey, and quickly commanded it to use Sand Attack on Kurine's Cyndaquil. The Pidgey used its claws to kick up dirt and send it flying into Cyndaquil's face, causing the Pokemon to let out a small cry and begin to blink a lot, trying to clear the sand from his eyes.

Jaeshan looked over his shoulder and saw Robin wave and call out to him. He smiled and waved back, ecstatic that she'd remembered him. Knowing that she'd be there watching him would give him more incentive to win this battle. He turned his attention back to Stacey and gulped. He wouldn't let her appearance unnerve him. Or at the very least, he'd try not to let it get to him.
Combusken jumped up and punched the air when she saw the puffy pink Pokemon that the girl had sent out to oppose her, and even as she strode towards it she could already see her powerful kick plowing into its soft and gooshy stomach. "Hold up, Combusken," Jaeshan said, shaking his head. Disappointed, the Fire/Fighting-type turned around and came over to her trainer as he bent down to talk to her. "You and I both know this'll be too easy for you, so maybe you should let Beldum have a go and if things get too rough for it then you can take over, all right?" Combusken listened patiently to her trainer's words and nodded. She liked the strange little metal Pokemon and she wanted him to get strong like her. Being sure to avoid the line she'd drew in the sand earlier Combusken sat down to watch and eagerly await her turn.
"Are you going to send out your Pokemon, cutie?" Stacey asked with a giggle. Her Clefairy clapped its paws and looked up at Jaeshan anxiously.
Jaeshan nodded, deciding that not making eye-contact with the beach bunny would probably be the best course of action. "I choose Beldum!" he shouted, unhooking the proper Pokeball from his belt (he'd decided it would be smart to keep it with him at all times) and throwing it. The oddly-coloured Steel/Psychic-type burst from the Pokeball in a shower of silvery and gold sparkles, and it hovered in place for a moment before emitting a bit of a screech and trying to hide behind Jaeshan. "It's okay Beldum," the boy said, trying to sound reassuring. "Today's all about fun and battles. You've made some serious progress the last few days and I think you can take care of it!" Beldum blinked a few times but made a motion that looked a lot like nodding before it hovered out towards the Clefairy. Deciding not to waste a second, Jaeshan set it on the attack. "Take Down!" he shouted, and instantly the small Steel-type shot forward like a rocket. However, once again Beldum closed its eye and it missed by a good few feet. The Clefairy thought it was quite funny and pointed and laughed. Jaeshan sighed and shook his head. "Don't close your eye, Beldum!"

After maybe thirty minutes of riding, Officer Jenny and Train sped through Cerulean, heading straight to the path that led to Saffron. After riding for another hour or so, Officer Jenny slowed down the bike and then came to a stop just inside of Saffron. Train hopped off and thanked Officer Jenny, who smiled and said, "No problem!" before turning and heading back up the path.
Train waved, even though Officer Jenny obviously wouldn't see her, then stretched for a second. Being on the motorcycle so long had made her lose some of the feeling in her legs, and it was really quite annoying. Train then walked further into Saffron, asking around and getting lost a couple of times before finally making it to the train station. Since she already had a train ticket, the teenager simply asked when the next train to Slateport was. According the to girl that had been working at the counter, it wouldn't be more than maybe fifteen or twenty minutes, so Train found the right station to wait at and settled into a seat, hoping she wouldn't fall asleep while she was waiting.

When Robin saw Jaeshan she couldn't help but giggle slightly, he was pretty cute with out a shirt on. Quickly though Robin dismissed the thought, Jaeshan might be cute but he would never think she was cute so it wasn't smart for her to be thinking those kinds of thoughts. Trying to keep that in mind Robin decided to watch the battle, maybe she would pick up some tips for herself. So standing to the side with Luffy resting on her shoulder Robin watched Jaeshan send out a strange looking silver and gold pokemon. Not sure what it was Robin went over to her bag that was near where Ampersand was apparently sleeping and took out her pokedex. Going back over to the battles sidelines she flipped it open and waited for it to turn on before pointing it at the strange pokemon.
Beldum, the Iron Ball pokemon. Ability: Clear Body Type: Steel/Psychic
Instead of blood a powerful magnetic force travels through Beldums body. Beldum communicates with others using this magnetic pulse.
Frowning slightly Robin looked at the picture then at the pokemon on the field. They were different colors... How was that possible? Frowning slightly Robin shut her pokedex deciding to ask Jaeshan about it later.
Luffy who was on her shoulder watch the strange floating pokemon thing fly all over the place and miss its attacks. To him it looked like some kind of fun ride. He couldn't wait until after the battle so that he could ride it! Maybe he could surf on the metal thing! That would be so cool!

Crenu neared the tented area where he assumed the market place was. As expected on the day of the festival, it was bustling with people from all over wanting whatever Saleport had to offer. Looking at the ground he could see that the sand had already covered up most of the prints, but there were definitely some distinct hoof prints scattered around. He didn’t know enough about pokemon to identify them as Tauros prints, and with this many people and pokemon around they could have easily belonged to a Ponyta or some other pokemon with hooves. His thoughts were almost drowned out by the countless conversations of the tourists, the loud sales pitches of the merchants, the children’s laughter and their cries, it was enough to drive anyone to madness. With all these people around it was easy to see how no one noticed to protests of a young girl as her pokemon was stolen from her. But at the same time there was no way that not a single person looked over in this direction, some people were just cowards. It was clear that the guys who took her Tauros were gone now, but they couldn’t have been far. A couple of cocky guys like that wouldn’t run away, they had to still be hanging around the area. Crenu walked closer to the market place in order to try and get some information, but he didn’t have to go very far. No more than a few feet into the crowd he saw a group of guys his age buying some food and obnoxiously laughing as they pushed each other around while they waited. They were prime suspects for the moment, so he crept closer to them to listen in on their conversation.

Kilik blinked as he watched Sasha take the purple haired girl into her chest and had a bit of a laugh. He slid his hands into his pockets and wore a bright smirk. This battle was his, that was for sure. There was no way that Snorlax would be able to take down the defensive powerhouse that was his Lairon. He felt a Pokeball on his waist shake and he blinked as his Elekid burst out of the ball. The baby shivered and looked around at all the people. He jumped and felt a bead of sweat immediately travel down his temple. Elekid traveled up to his Master's shoulder and looked on at the large pillar of sand. It must have been Lairon's doing. He wore the same smirk as his trainer.
Considering he couldn't see his opponent or his Pokemon, Kilik felt that there was one thing he could do to tip the battle even further into his favor. He pulled his hands out of his pockets and let his entire body relax. He let out a quiet sigh and closed his eyes. Elekid imitated this, though nothing would come out of it. His muscles seized and it sort of hurt this time. Though his eyes were closed, he could see the Snorlax in front of him. "I can't keep it up for long," he shouted to Lairon, "so attack him with your Metal Claw!" He opened his eyes and exhaled sharply, stumbling forward. The plug lifted his nubby arms and grabbed Kilik's head as if trying to steady him.
Lairon gave an affirmative nod inside the pillar and ran forward. The ground trembled beneath him as he stamped forward, his claws glowing white. With a roar, he brought his front claws down on Snorlax's front, leaving deep scratches that seemed to glisten like steel.
Larry took a step back. He had no idea how to react to the situation. The swirling storm was way too loud for him to hear Kilik call out the command for Lairon, but he did hear a cry of pain from Snorlax. "Attack him with another Body Slam!" he said in a panic. He felt the ground shiver, and wondered if it was his attack...No, it couldn't be. The ground kept shaking a few more times after the initial one. Lairon must be running! he thought. He gulped.
Snorlax had gotten up to attack as well, but was struck down the moment Metal Claw connected. The ground shook even more violently when the large round Pokemon fell to the floor.
Kilik clenched his fist and straightened himself up. This battle was his.

Mrs. Rustings smiled thinly at her bed-haired daughter, a plate of scrambled eggs with pieces of shells still stuck in it and a lovingly burnt piece of toast sitting on the table. Her husband was no where to be seen, but M.A. didn't need that hint to discern her mother's cooking. How the family survived without food poisoning when she wasn't home was beyond her.
With a brave smile, M.A. greeted her mother and sat down to eat whatever was edible on her plate. With her strange sixth sense, Mrs. Rustings had guessed when her daughter would appear, and thus the food was still warm (at least). "You're up late," the woman said cheerily, sipping her coffee but giving her daughter a critical eye. Said daughter recognized said eye, and only nodded.
"Tastes delicious, mum," she said, deciding against talking about her sneaking out last night, which she was sure her mother knew about.
Mrs. Rustings sipped her coffee and sighed, "Your friend Kilik left earlier; the note's on the table. Your dad's at another one of his archeology meetings."
M.A. wondered why her mother seemed depressed when she mentioned Kilik, tried to cheer her up with her own ridiculously sunny smile.
Mrs. Rustings was oblivious to it, sighing in her own little melodramatic gloomy world.
"What are you planning today, mum?" M.A. asked pathetically.
"I think I"ll be visiting some friends here, maybe get some time on the beach, although I would absolutely adore to go shopping with my daughter later when the crowd's a little smoother," the woman said offhandedly, although M.A. recognized the whine beneath the words.
"Of couuurse," she said after a moment with a stretched smile that could be called more of a grimace. She'd do anything to please her mom (or almost), but the woman always loved to dress her daughter up ridiculously, hence the hesitation.
Thirty minutes later, M.A. was out on the streets in a starkly white, flowing sundress that plunged innocently to allow a bit of her vividly azure bandeau to peek through the v-neck. Her mother had gifted this to her this morning, remarking that she had looked like a little angel. Ironic, as Daemyn (who walked at her feet as usual) looked more like the underworld's canine guardian.
Or maybe a Christmas tree covered in show, M.A. thought with her brow furrowing, remembering how tall she was when she could see the tops of several girls' heads as she walked by. Although she looked nothing like a Christmas tree, as trees generally don't have skin. So distracted was she by her self-consciousness (tall + spotless white) that she didn't notice the tanned beach boys turn and watch her go by, the bashful girl with the amazingly long legs and her trail of freckles about her blue eyes.

Kasiya gathered up her sleeping bag and the rest of her things and stored them in the same locker as her clothes. All she had on her now were her Pokeballs, a towel and the glowing-hot orange egg. Kasiya wasn't sure but since the egg's craziness of moving last night it had been pretty still all morning so far. However, it had taken on a bright glow instead, and the light it gave off seemed to act like a miniature beacon. Kasiya wished Keegan were around to tell her if this kind of egg behaviour was normal - she'd only hatched a Normal and Grass-type before so she didn't know what to expect from the Charmander egg. Finding it to be too hot to touch Kasiya had wrapped it in her towel in order to carry it and she and Shocker had begun to venture down the beach in search of their friends. After, of course, Kasiya had made sure that she and Serenity swapped phone/PokeNav numbers and all that. Kasiya was quite interested to see how different little George's growth would be in comparison to Levi's.
Shocker was perched up in her usual spot on Kasiya's shoulders, eagerly looking around at the many people dotting the beach. There were all sorts of different Pokemon around too, and the Raichu realized that she'd only ever encountered a handful of them before. Her ears twitched excitedly whenever she'd pass by a fellow Electric-type, but they seemed to be few and far in between. After only about twenty minutes or so the mouse was nearly bouncing up and down on her trainer's shoulders with excitement. By now she really was spoiling for a good fight. Kasiya grumbled in protest beneath the Raichu's weight - it was hard enough already to carry a possibly ready-to-hatch egg on its own without an overstimulated electric mouse throwing her balance out of whack.
=-=-=-=-=
Jaeshan couldn't help but be a bit surprised when Beldum pivoted in the air and threw itself right back at the laughing Clefairy, catching the Pokemon unawares with a solid strike to the back of her head. The Fairy Pokemon went for a tumble through the sand, coming to rest on her belly. Stacey gasped in surprise and covered her mouth with her hands. A few people, mostly remaining from the attempted fight between the girls, their Rattata, Luffy and a very displeased Ampersand had gathered around Jaeshan and Stacey and a few 'oohs' could be heard after Beldum's successful Take Down. Jaeshan smiled and nodded in approval - it seemed that their practice yesterday had not been in vain after all.
"Get up Clefairy, don't let that thing make a fool out of you! Pound it!" Stacey hollered, stamping a dainty foot in the sand. Growling, the pink puffball of a Pokemon pulled itself up and wheeled around to face the offending Steel-type, slamming a clenched fist into its palm. It growled loudly and jumped at Beldum, rearing back and swinging forward with its fist, only to be met with solid steel and a surging pain through its arm.
The small crowd seemed to be impressed by little Beldum's efforts so far, and Jaeshan couldn't help but be proud of his newest Pokemon partner. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Robin watching him, but he dismissed the thought. Nah, she's watching the battle, not me, he thought, trying to focus on the fight instead. However, the urge to turn around just to catch a glimpse of the pretty redhead kept sneaking up on him. "C'mon Beldum, let's show them what you're made of! Take Down again!"

“Well, I see someone is awake bright and early,” Jaden’s voice said from behind them. Riza looked around and saw that her brother was sitting on a chair nearby, an open book in his lap. “I hope you two slept well, because today is going to be a busy one!” Jaden stood up, closing the book as he approached his sister. “But first, let‘s go get some breakfast. You can’t go adventuring on an empty stomach.”
About twenty minutes later, the three of them had left the pokecenter in search of a restaurant. It didn’t take long to find one and they went inside, finding seats with relative ease. They ordered their food, and since the restaurant was fairly empty at this time in the morning their food arrived pretty quickly as well. Riza happily dug into her pancakes after loading them up with maple syrup. Sneasel, who’d been given a big plate of freshly cut fruit speared a piece of melon with her claws and munched on it. Jaden watched the two of them over his coffee cup and smiled. When breakfast was done, Jaden paid the bill and the three of them headed outside. Riza glanced at her older brother questioningly. “So what did you mean by today being a busy one?” she asked.
Jaden continued to smile before he spoke. “Well Rizzy, to be completely honest with you, shortly after you left home, I got a call from Mom and Dad. They told me you were leaving home to go on a Pokemon journey of your very own, so I came home as quickly as I could but by the time I got there you’d already passed through the Ice Cave. See, I knew my little sis couldn’t wait to step out into the world to try and one-up me so I came prepared.” He reached around and pulled his backpack off of his back. It was black with white stripes and zippers and he held it out to Riza.

Riza stared at it for a moment before she took it from him, and she knelt on the ground in order to open it and have a look inside. First and foremost she found a fishing rod. It looked brand-new and very easy to assemble and use. It also had fishing line and various lures to go with it. Next she found a strange item that looked like a case of sorts. After a moment or two she realized that it was a case for storing pokeblocks to give to Pokemon. She also found a length of fabric, which turned out to be a lovely white scarf made out of silk. She also found a belt with five empty Pokeballs attached to it, a one-use train ticket and a small amount of money. She studied each item again before looking up at Jaden. “What’s all this?” she asked.
Jaden shrugged. “When I heard you were going on your journey I went on a little shopping spree and picked you up some stuff to help you get started. That there’s a Good Rod and you can use it to catch a good variety of water-type Pokemon. I also got you a Pokeblock Case, since you’ve always talked about becoming a coordinator. That scarf you are holding is called a Silk Scarf. It makes the normal-type moves a Pokemon has a bit more powerful. I was letting my pidgeot use it but I figured you could use all the help you could get.” Riza stuck her tongue out at that. “Obviously those Pokeballs are for catching new Pokemon and the belt is to carry them, and the money is just a little something to help you out. Oh, and the train ticket will get you a free one-way ride on the train.”
Riza looked at all the stuff her brother had assembled for her, and she sniffled a bit. “JJ, I don’t know what to say,” she said, her lower lip trembling a bit.
“There’s just one more thing,” Jaden said, pushing his black hair from his eyes. “I also made a few other stops, one of them being over in New Bark Town. You see, Professor Elm helped me out a lot when I first started out so I asked him if there was anything he could do for you, and he gave me this. It’s a Pokedex and it will help you to learn about the different Pokemon you meet while you’re out on your journey.”
As he held it out to her Riza couldn’t help but see that it too had a black and white paint scheme to it as well. “Jaden… this is amazing! Thank you so much!”

Riza packed all the items back into the knapsack with Jaden and Sneasel’s help, although Sneasel took a particular interest in the Silk Scarf that Jaden had brought, and the two of them had a very hard time trying to get it back from the very agile Pokemon. “Fine, you can have it,” Riza said finally, deciding that she didn’t feel like chasing Sneasel around this early in the morning.
“Well there are a few moves that the scarf will make more powerful,” Jaden said thoughtfully. “Like scratch and quick attack. Although I don’t know how strong your Sneasel actually is yet so it’s hard to say what attacks she would know. Here’s a thought, why don’t you use your new Pokedex?”
“That’s a good idea,” Riza nodded. She took the shiny new device from her pocket, opened it and pointed it at Sneasel.
“Sneasel. Known as the Sharp Claw Pokemon, these Pokemon are of the dark and ice variety. They feed on eggs stolen from nests. They can be extremely vicious and quick to attack, using their sharp, hooked claws to tear into vulnerable spots on their prey.”
Riza looked curiously towards Sneasel, who’d managed to put the Silk Scarf on and was currently modeling it for Jaden. ‘Sneasel doesn’t exactly LOOK vicious,’ Riza thought, stifling a giggle, but then again she and Sneasel had only been together for a short time. Maybe if they did get into a real battle one day Sneasel could show her just what she was made of.
