"If you're happy with it," Michael said, "then I am too." He put his arm around her and turned to face all the guests. "Let's mingle in the party for a bit." He noticed his Cyndaquil wasn't looking happy and he let go of Niccia as he knelt down in front of him. "Lytse, are you okay?" he asked. [i]"Yes!""[/i] the Cyndaquil quickly squeaked. [i]"It's just... overwhelming being here. But I have Bear, and my new friend here. You really should stay with Niccia and meet some legendary Pokémon.[/i] Michael hesitated for a moment and nodded. He got back on his feet and heldout his hand to Niccia so she could introduce him to her friends. "Oh," Netherlu replied. "I'm sorry I made you feel that way. I was late because a human close to the Ruins of Alph was in trouble. Badly injured. I saw him when I flew over and I had stop to take him to the hospital first." He turned to look at Frosiien. "Your daughter picked one up too I see." He tilted his head. "He looks a bit like the one I brought to the hospital... but then again, most humans look alike." "Pastries?" Mindy replied. "Well, yes please." She turned to Xapher. "You should try some too. Let's go see what they have." She started going to the table to see what pastries there would be. Parties weren't about healthy eating after all. Pastries as main course were totally acceptable. Andy smiled at Frosiien. "Michael's Cyndaquil is actually a Pokémon of legends. Not by birth though." Then he turned to Dialla. "The volcano on Resto erupted years ago and ash blocked out the sun. People would have starved if Volcarona wouldn't have been a substitute sun. So we are grateful for them, and ever since they are honoured in an annual festival. You should come once; they give away free cookies in the shape of Larvesta." He turned to Frosiien again. "Which naturally is the best part of the entire festival. Free cookies."
