Snippet #2767879

"Stalker fan?"

"She's a big person, remember? She likely thinks you're just some fan."

"Well I can certainly understand that. I may not have got it on the same scale, but I certainly got some fame for beating the Champion myself... Though it was likely just because of that report. Anyway, I got my response. She's fine with being alone. Asuka! Take us out of here!"

Asuka pops out of her ball and James hops on her, grabs Shirona and off they went. Asuka dropped them off at the harbor so they could collect their thoughts without some looming pressure giving mixed signals.

"I hope she'll be alright."

"She was up against the Grand Champion, she can handle a small trip! You don't have to be the nice guy all the time."

"I know that, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I ever walked away from somebody who could use help. End of story. Now, what are we going to do about this? This puts a halt on everything as this incident is obviously more important."

"We could call Sandra or Dawn to help"

"We could but I'd rather not interrupt their daily lives."

"Don't tell me you're going to try to take out that Diance on your own? It was enough to make Emiko give up!"

"I'm not on her level, that's true, but that doesn't mean I can't try! But...not now. Not alone. We could go home and talk with Prof. Rowan over this..."

"Well we could go and talk to the other gym leaders, those here in Unova will probably rally so we could bring the others to help! Flint and the others might help as well!"

"That's a lot of time to lose though, getting to each region and back.... Even though I have their numbers and could call most of them, it wouldn't do much without a plan of attack. It'd be best to back off and observe for a bit. Learn what it is we're fighting against. Best bet would be to head to the grand arena."

"Why there? Oh that's right! Emiko was there on the TV"

"Yes and if she's here now suddenly, I imagine this Diance and whoever that body was attacked the arena and brought them here, so those there may have some information on this enemy. Asuka! North of here is your destination. We head for the Grand Arena!"

With a confirming screech, the Staraptor takes off for Nimbasa.
