[i]You also have Pokémon, yes? Companions you trust deeply?"[/i]

Velis smiled. "I do. I first found Makuhita outside Phenac city, he was abandoned and badly wounded and I ended up taking him in and taking care of him. A few years later my family was on a trip to Agate Village when we found a Bagon that was abandoned by it's trainer. I took her in as well."

She looked down at the two Pokeballs on her belt and smiled again. "I trust these two with my life. They've been my best friends." She reached down and grabbed the first PokeBall and held it in her hand. "Makuhita and Bagon were both kind of scared of me at first but they warmed up when I showed them that they had nothing to fear from me."

She let out a soft laugh as she remembered the first time she had bought exercise equipment for her Makuhita. He had ended up destroying it within the first hour while doing his workout. Bagon had had her fair share of incidents as well such as destroying a few large boulders in her parent's garden by accident a few times as well.
