Emily gritted her teeth, quickly slipping back to the table and turning to Talia. "I'm pretty sure they're up to no good. I'll tell you when we're back at the Center."
Talia blinked and looked confused but slightly nodded. ''Lets go than.'' She said as plusle and minun sat on her shoulder. Once outside she looked back at Emily. ''What is wrong?''
She took a deep breath. "Maxie mentioned the Rangers of Alola. Said they're coming for Groudon and Kyogre, and he's going to... do something about it. Michelle and some other person are working with him now."
Talia had to think, she remembered with them working once. And it was sure she wasn't a fan of how they did things. ''But Michelle working with him? you sure you heard that right. She didn't seem like that earlier.''
"She's a former member of Team Magma. I wouldn't be surprised if they're up to no good again." Emily scowled as the memories of that drought and the weeks that followed returned to her mind.
''I know, but still she seemed honest. Look why not take a look later after the contest and see what is going on.'' Talia said trying to sympathize with her
"That sounds good. Thanks, Talia." the young girl responded. "...We should probably make sure our seats are still there."
Talia nodded. ''You did sign up for it right?'' she sudden asked. Wondering if you had to do that for every contest
"Signups open the day it does," Emily explained. "So long as I have a pass and I make it in early enough, I'll get a spot."
"Let's just keep going with what we have. But we gotta keep our guard up. Something seemed... very off about that conversation..."
Talia looked worries about emily. "I still think the Michelle girl is innocent." She said while trying to keep up with her. "I mean how do you know for certain I wont do the same as I did before"
"That's a very good question," Emily replied, stone-faced. "I wish I knew the answer." Can we not have this conversation right now? muttered Wingull.
Talia gazed down .''I am sorry Emily. L..Let's go have some fun. '' she tried. Pluzle and Minun went up to Emily shoulders. 'Maybe we can swim at the water edge.''
"That sounds good," Emily responded. "...except I didn't exactly bring much water-suitable. Would be a good place for battle practice, though, if they have a place like that."
"Sounds good. I capture a water Pokémon for training" Talia said sh3 hadnt used her ramger equipment for awhile
"Let's go soon, then," the young girl replied as she finished up her meal. Wingull sighed. After watching that kid battling today, I almost forgot what I was up against...
Somehow Talia watched wingul being nervous. "Dont worry..you never know what you meet in the finals" sayinh that emily easily will go to th3 finals
Thanks for that, the Wingull chirped back. Still. I hope I don't have to go up against a Lugia soon...
