<span style="color: Gray">"It is a pleasure to meet you, Jacob."</span>Lydia smiled as she shook his hand<span style="color: Gray">"And no, it is certainly not an enviable position to be in..."</span>She trailed off as she watched the others working before Brollem's arrival snapped her back to work.<span style="color: Gray"> "Ah yes, of course."</span><br/>Lydia nodded along as Brollem spoke. She had learned plenty while trying to train Kat. It was a far cry from training an animal, and it had taken months for the two of them to come to an understanding. She only hoped she could repeat the process for Rufflet and any other Pokemon she would go on to acquire.<br/><br/><span style="color: Gray">"Ah, thank you, Brollem, but I think I will need a bit more time to train before I'm confident enough to take on your team." </span>She smiled warily.<span style="color: Gray"> "I think I am at a bit of a disadvantage, considering my lead is an Aron."</span>Kat, her most powerful and well-trained Pokemon, was at a supreme disadvantage against something like Primeape. The Rufflet might stand a chance, however, and she decided to spend what free time she had to tomorrow training it.<br/><br/>Her reverie was broken by Aisha's arrival. It was, of course, supremely hard not to notice, seeing as she seemed to bounce with every step, though that had as much to do with her eagerness as her somewhat ill-fitting kimono. She had seemed like she was dozing off at the Onsen, but Lydia had thought she'd been awake enough.<br/><span style="color: Gray">"I'm sure another pair of hands could do plenty of good."</span>Lydia smiled.<span style="color: Gray">"We were just chattign as we worked. Did you have any plans to face Brollem's team?"</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
