"Yes, Ms. Jennings," Professor Oak said, dusting off himself off, "I'm fine, thank you. That was superb battling by you and your Fennekin. You make an excellent team."<br/><br/>Eve, jumping into Mia's arms, hummed as she nestled herself into her chest. She was happy things had calmed down now. It was clear she was wanting to get to know her. Her eyes looked up at her Trainer's best friend questioningly. Eve, it would seem, was extremely friendly to those she took a liking to.<br/><br/>Ryan walked up next to Mia, a burn heal in his hand for Fenny. He looked at Eve with a amused shake of his head. Whenever she wasn't serious about something, she startled him by how carefree and friendly she could be. At times, he wondered if she had chose to attach to him just to counterbalance his personality. Not that it mattered to him, He'd have taken her regardless.<br/><br/>"Considering your performance, as well as Mr. Carter's with a injured Charmander, I'd fully endorse you admittance to the new Poké Academy if you chose to go." Professor Oak continued, walking to Ryan and handing him a Great ball, "This holds a Lucario, use it when you find you are in great peril."<br/><br/>Not sure what to say, Ryan thanked Professor Oak and put the fifth pokéball he had on his belt in his backpack. He looked at the Great ball with a sense of worry. He hoped he wouldn't have to use it but something told him he would some time soon. He could feel the Lucario was really powerful. He had a lot of training to do if he intended to use it, rather him.<br/><br/>"Thanks, I'll do my best to honor this Lucario to the best of my ability." Ryan said with a conviction he didn't feel as his doubts about being a trainer were kicking in.
