((I'm sorry you've been sick, hon... *huggles*))

Sandy flashed a smile. "Espeons are awesome," she said with enthusiasm. "I love Eevee and its evolutions." Then her smile faded. "I've watched a few gym battles. I got a part-time job at the Gym when my family lived in Celadon and would clean the place. It was good work and decent pay... plus I got the chance to watch the battles that went on as well as the training... And I'd appreciate the help."

Right as her voice trailed off, she glanced forward and saw a Pidgey. The tiny bird Pokemon was pecking at some berries off to one side of the road and seemed so intent on its finding that it wasn't paying attention to the people approaching. Sandy's eyes widened as she came to a pause next to her and Nazo's Pokemon.
