The brief look of alarm on Caspar's face is replaced with a proud smile of satisfaction when he sees Tepig score a direct hit on Gengar. "Atta girl! You kick his ass!" Madrone's instructions remind him that he ought to be calling out some actual moves instead of blanket encouragement. Too bad he doesn't know the names of anything, so general fighting instructions will have to do. "Stay evasive if he shoots anything at you! Then hit him again with your fire!"

Rowlet automatically joins Mudkip in herding the other pokémon to safety, although she keeps a feathery ear hole out for any instructions Adia might want to give her.

Adia, however, seems to be at a loss. The professor's words are encouraging, but don't give her much to work with. Her gaze turns automatically to the clefairy who was previously accosted. She's sitting by Magneton while he recovers, chirping softly in worry and apology. The scene breaks Adia's heart a little -- Clefairy must blame herself for Gengar's unwanted attention.

Hurrying over to the pair of them, she kneels down to get their attention. "Hey. You two were about to evolve, right? That makes you the most powerful pokémon here. And together, your bond is stronger than anything that gengar can dish out. So don't be scared, okay? We're all here to help you."
