```Do your best so others cannot berate you.```

Whatever Lucas believed that he was, was only within his vision. He may believe that he was a push-over in most cases but within her eyes, she could see so much more. Bustling potential within the small curious boy's body, ready to pounce whenever. She truly believed, without him nor Dawn, stopping the forces of Team Galactic would have been almost impossible. His efforts were what stopped the creation of the new world and he must be proud of it.

"I wish that was the case, however I have not seen another Sinnoh designated trainer apart from you Lucas." She brushed her hair aside, sighing within the process. "I shall put an end to your assumptions my dear and say, there are no others."

Cynthia's body would soon lean back into her chair, worried as she may topple onto him if done any further.

As Lucas mentioned her own Pokemon, her Glaceon known as Solace would appear behind the chair, purring softly as she climbed onto the Champion's lap. Cynthia was quick to give her Pokemon a stroke under the chin, receiving a soft growl.

"I believe my Pokemon can do the talking for me... But since they cannot, I shall say for them." Her smile resonated across her face as she headpat the Glaceon. "They have been kept well content since my vacation has started. I allowed them to roam freely in the mansion's outdoor areas and they have been content since."

The Glaceon closed her little eyes, ignoring Basil as she knew she was far superior than he could ever be. Solace wasn't the kindest Eeveelution, perhaps it was because she was an Ice Type.

"Now then, what mysterious do you plan to uncover in the library?"

"Oh, really? Why, that's actually rather a supprise.."

Huh, he thought that at least a couple of the gym leaders, elite four and even the frontier brains would come here to wind down. They certainly deserved it in his eyes, he could remember all of them vividly, he'd never forget them! Alas, he missed them quite alot. Once he had beaten them once and thus didn't really get to be able to beat them again and still feel that same rush of adrenaline, knowing something was on the line. He enjoyed it nonetheless, he just wished he could of done it more..

He knew that one gym leader in particular, Volkner, was actually *Fed up* Of his position as gym leader and honestly, who could blame him? Training most or even your whole life to reach a position so high only to have it taken from you again and again and again. It would become numb after a while and you'd eventually just have to live with the fact that you're going to get defeated countless times. There's not much thrill anymore when you know that loss is inevitable.
*Ah, he's getting too into this..*

Nodding slightly at the blonde champion, he felt the Leafeon on his own lap rear up with the slightest of growls, staying as close as it could to it's trainer's chest. It had a strong disliking for Solace, not only did they have a type advantage but they were also just so stuck-up, even to it. Sure that's a bucket-load and a half of hypocrisy, but it didn't care honestly.

"Ah, well I'm not actually quite sure... I just took a random book and began reading it... What about you Miss Cynthia?"
