Marina walked around Lumiose City after finishing another job.   Kirlia dances around and Mawile has a look of self-confidence on her face.  Lumiose City was as busy as Marie could remember from the past.  She dropped off her last package for the city and had some free time until she had to go pick up another.  "Anywhere you two want to go?"  She asked her two pokemon.  She wasn't sure herself.  The best thing she could think of was going to a cafe or something.  Money wasn't an issue at the least.  Kirlia simply shook it's head back and forth and Mawile looked around for anything interesting ultimately finding none.  "Right then.  Guess we'll pick up some supplies and then head to a cafe.  I heard there was one in the South Side of the city that was pretty good.  There are about eight different cafes here though, which one should we go to?"<br/><br/>Kirlia continued to dance around feeding off of her trainer's happy thoughts but stopped abruptly in front of Marie after having some it's eyes spot something. "What is it?  Something wrong."  The Emotion Pokemon nodded and motioned for the other two to follow into a nearby alley.  The city was littered with the things and Marie followed Kirlia with Mawile in tow right behind.  Two thugish teens had pokemon out and seemingly harassing children. A Zubat and a Houndour are the thugs' pokemon.<br/><br/>"Oi!" Marie called out grabbing the two's attention.  "How about you deal with us?"  Kirlia and Mawile jumped in front of her as the other party turned around.  "Isn't picking on children at your age a little immature?  How did your mothers raise you?"<br/><br/>"Don't insult us idiot!"  One of the thugs yelled.  "ZUBAT!  BITE THAT KIRLIA!"<br/><br/>The other, a bit more calm tried to calm his friend.  "Don't get too rash bro."  After shaking his head, "Whatever, I'll follow you.  Houndour.  Heat that Mawile up!  Ember!"<br/><br/>Marie couldn't help but giggle a little bit.  One was oh so serious, and the other was just really mad.  This is going to be an easy fight.  "Mawile, don't be afraid to Play Rough with our Houndour friend.  Kirlia, confusion."<br/><br/>The Houndour fires it's Ember off at Mawile who takes the hit with her back mouth appendage.  It the spins around from the shot and then rushes off to the Houndour.  Kirlia meanwhile spins around and dances out of the way of the Zubat.  It then uses a Confusion counter instantly knocking out the Zubat.  Kirlia looks over to Mawile noticing that it finished it's rough treatment of the opposing Houndour who also fainted.<br/><br/>"Now then," Marie started, "Return your pokemon to their pokeballs and take them to be healed."  A demanding tone.  It wasn't one that sounded like it was good to disobey.  The two did so and ran off.  Kirlia then danced over to the children and grabbed their hands to help them up.  Marie turned to them. "Are you two alright?"  They nodded and after a short cheer-up session she walked them out of the alley just to be safe.  Somehow, they had ended up on the south side of Lumiose and the one Pokemon Lab was in sight.  "You guys are probably good here now.  Keep in sight of other people on your way."  Marie made her way over towards the Pokelab as the cafe she planned on visiting was in the direction.  "Mawile, Kirlia.  Which one?  Cafe Classe,  Shutterbug. . . Nah, I'm not really into photography.   Soleii?  Let's give it a little more time.  I'm sure it'll come to me."
