Well, at least its looked like she broke the code on how to understand this girl. 

Quack...? Oh, she meant Kapoc. Freya smiled awkwardly and said a bit stiffly, [color=ed145b]"Oh, he's not that bad, really. He's just uh... very honest."[/color] That was a nice way of putting it. This sounded like this was not the first time she had to make excuses for him, but her expression lightened up when she saw the adorable though strangely unhappy Dusk. Seemed like they were having a bit of trouble getting along, but she was sure those two would patch it up somehow.

[color=ed145b]"Oh wow, he's a shiny Litwick. What a handsome little boy, yes you are."[/color] Freya cooed to the Litwick, giving the cutie a chin scratch and a pat on the head. Surely, he couldn't be too upset with that.

Freya then realized that she was being rude; she should be congratulating Steph for such a major accomplishment! Out of all the applicants, she was picked so that could not go unsaid. [color=ed145b]"Oh, um, congratulations on getting accepted too! I was picked too though I've been getting things in order and prepare. Well, maybe overprepare as my brother keeps telling me. He's probably right."[/color] She said with a slightly embarrassed laugh. Most trainers would have left the moment they received their starter, but she was a bit overly cautious. 

For some reason, she felt like Steph had a different feeling about her just now. It was like she had her focus on something, like a predator focusing in on its prey. [color=ed145b]"He's a new trainer too? What are the odds that he would appear in the same Pokemon Center?"[/color]

Too low, but life finds a way. 

Of course, Freya would follow Steph to go meet this new trainer and possibly befriend him. 

Meanwhile, a little time back with Tristan. 

Tristan did, in fact, not do a very good job with keeping his annoyance from slipping into his tone. The Nurse Joy kept on smiling as she received his Pokemon[color=f49ac2]"Of course, we'll bring your Pokemon to you as soon as you're done. Have a nice day...[sub]Little prick.[/sub]"[/color] The Nurse Joy said and thankfully, Tristan did not catch what she said under her breath. 

While Tristan was sitting there, deciding to actually study what should be common knowledge for most people as to become a better trainer. It was actually admirable that he decided to learn about Pokemon, but that was cut short when a force of nature decided it was time to introduce herself to him. He would be assaulted verbally by strange tongues that would drive a normal person to madness and the cause for this was by this red-headed young woman that he should have recognized at Kapoc's lab if he was paying attention to literally anything. 

There was also this black-haired, red-eyed beauty standing in front of him who stood at the insane height of 6'5. [color=ed145b]"Um, hello there. It's nice to meet you. Steph said that you're a new trainer too. Were you one of the ones that Adriane picked too?"[/color]

Menace, the instant Stella mentioned that it was Kapoc that gave her the Tyrunt she felt absolute menace radiating from Astrid beneath her calm, now eerily smiling expression. Even the Blipbug was shivering in the bush. [color=00aeef]"I see..."[/color] Of course it was Kapoc. Why wouldn't it be him? He was the only person in the world that would be reckless enough to give a burgeoning, inexperienced trainer one of the most vicious, ill-tempered Pokemon to have walked the face of the Earth. Of all the stupid, asinine... what in the world went through his head to give Stella that?!

[color=00aeef]"I think I am going to have a little chat with him later."[/color] She said, still with that smile. 

Meanwhile, Kapoc felt a cold shiver run up his spine. Death was approaching.

Back to Stella!

[color=00aeef]"Well, now that you understand I will leave you to it then. If you have any questions, drop by the school. It is always open to trainers new and old."[/color] With that, Astrid made her leave to attend to... other business. 

Now that the wrath of Astrid was now far enough away, the Blipbug crawled out of the bush and approached Stella, well, approached her, but maintained a bit of distance. The bug-type was curious about her now that its fear has been abated for now. She seemed like a nice enough girl who was eager to learn from her mistakes and that Tyrunt wasn't all that bad. It was still scary as hell, but it did not have any ill-will. It was like a puppy...a very scaly puppy. With a trainer like that, how would things turn out? How curious.

[color=2e3192]"Blip!"[/color] It chirped out. It seemed like it wanted to go with Stella though perhaps not with a battle. Just one attack would tear through the Blipbug's ever meager defense and Kaede has attack stats for days. Seriously, just tapping it with a finger would probably knock it out cold. 

What does Stella do?
