Snippet #2808211

Bubba cleared his throat at her praise, but didn't respond to it. He did look away, as if trying to hide something.

Kip the Floatzel responded to her warning with a confident smirk, "Well, since I don't have any reason to hold back anymore, defending Michael shouldn't be too troublesome. We've fought way harder than those guys."

Kyla passed Ako a reassuring glance, "And Snowpoint City's too small to be too well hidden. We should be able to find your friend easily."

"Should we?" Leila floated over to the Eevee, resting a ghostly hand on her head, "Vintrell's a tricky one. He's gotta be in order to have run this business as long as he claims."

"Well, Bubba has enough knowledge about his gang," the Glaceon turned to the Abomasnow, "You know anywhere where we can search for Pitch?"

Bubba had been staring out the window, gazing at the drifts of snow clumped against the houses from the previous night. Now, he turned his head to face the rest of the group.

"We won't need to..." he said, turning to the Chatot, "Susie, wanna turn off Michael's alarm?"

"Ooo!" Susie chirped, "We're gonna get into some hijinx! I'd love to!"

"Ya gotta be quiet though," Bubba warned.

"I can be quiet!"

"You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. My beak is sealed!"

"You've been shouting ever since you've been awake. I'm surprised they're not awake already."

"Nooo! I can do it! I promise!"

"Promise? Not a peep?"

"Not a peep! Promi- ...er, sorry. Promise."

Susie flapped her wings, trying her best to be as silent as possible while she soared into the hallway and up the stairs.

Leila tapped Ako's head, "We've gotta be extra sure she'll be quiet before having her do the stealth missions. Funny enough, she's better at being quiet than all of us."
