"Thank you," Andy said after the kiss, his eyes shining with the smile that was only vagelue on his lips. The look in his eyes turned more serious when he noticed what Frosiien was looking at.
"I saw it too," he said in a hushed voice. "It doesn't look like they are enjoying themselves over there. I thought the goal of this event was for everyone to have a good time?"
"You're welcome to," Merlin stated as he looked at Mitch. He had to admit the Primeape had a point; if both trainers would continue seeing each other, they would see a lot of each other. Which meant the Guardian would resemble a team-member.
"We should remind him of that time he tried to catch you," Benny chuckled.
After a moment of hesitation, Michael walked towards Niccia and the old man. He had to introduce himself as her boyfriend anyway. He kept a respectful distance as he watched Niccia hug the smaller woman with light purple hair. How many legendaries were purple? Michael tried to name them all and remember their image from the book he had read. As he thought, his eyes settled on Gavin and the old man. While he didn't know what had happened, Gavin didn't seem to be happy.
"Things..." Chifferi huffed, rubbing his own forehead.
"I'm fine," Mindy assured Anylia, before turning to Jirachi and smiling broadly. "It's so nice to meet you. I read a lot about you."
"I'm sorry," Penalopy said to Anylia, but then she heard what Mindy said to Chifferi. "She has a plush of you!" she exclaimed.
Mindy felt her cheeks heat up and fiddled nervously with her hair. "I...do. I always thought you are... really cute."
Now Chifferi blushed as well, but he grinned broadly. "Waking up for Star Fall is great," he said as he turned to the musical sister. He blinked when he realised something and he floated to the ground. "But when I sleep again... I won't see the humans I meet again. Maybe this will be the last time I see some of the legendary Pokémon too..."
Mindy watched the Jirachi go from happy to sad in a heartbeat. "W-what happened?" she asked as she too looked at the musical sisters. "Anylia, Penalopy, what did he say?"
"You think we can't take it?" Halkio asked. "I'm sure we can. But I like wind. Do you have wind there?"
"Who cared about wind," Stormiar interjected. "Lightning is better."
Moralar, who knew them best, decided to step up. "We're at Star Fall," he reminded him. "Let's not have a competition about who is best."
A thickset man with spiky brown hair, some orange or white, accompanied by a Pyroar entered through the gate and looked around. He decided to greet Illios and Illias first; there would be a lot of greeting to be done and he'd rather get it over with.
Tater looked up when he noticed someone coming through the gate, but he was disappointed when he noticed it wasn't his father. He walked to his siblings.
"Did you hear anything?" he asked them.
Just like them, their father didn't have to come from far and it was odd he was this late when he lived in this region.
