As Blaise turned away from the small pond, she noticed someone appear from the corner of her eye and unintentionally went into a defensive position. A Houndour approached her, but stopped halfway when it was suddenly surprised by its own reflection. Blaise slowly returned to her normal stance and watched the Houndour curiously as it seemed just as confused as herself. Suddenly the Houndour began to speak.

[b]"I'm... I'm Zaraph?"[/b] She stated her name, however it seemed as if she was questioning her own accuracy. Blaise was slightly surprised at Zaraph. [i]She seems harmless enough...[/i] Blaise thought to herself and smiled slightly at the fact that she wasn't an intimidating Houndour who was going to attack her.

[b]"I'm Vulpi-... Er... Blai-... Wait, no... Yes? I think I'm Blaise..."[/b] Blaise began to jumble up her own words after pulling out what seemed to be her name from a faint memory. She noticed Zaraph was standing a few feet away from her and stepped closer. Blaise glanced around at the other Pokemon and concluded that they had all just experienced the same thing, or at least something similar. After turning back towards Zaraph, she knew asking of their current situation would be pointless. [i]But it wouldn't hurt to try I guess.[/i]

[b]"Um, do you happen to know what exactly happened earlier and what our current situation is?"[/b] Blaise was meaning to ask about the Alakazam as well however she decided to hold it off for now.
