-Machoke takes the hit, staggering before taking a knee.-
Korrina: Alright, that's match!
-She recalls the Fighting-Type.-
Korrina: No use extending a fistfight that's not gonna succeed. Still, you did great!
-She rolls up, does a spin, and hands Samantha a TM and Badge.-
Korrina: The TM is Power-Up Punch! I didn't get to use it, but it'll up the power of your attacks with each use!
And I believe the time to fight Korrina would be about... now.
-Starts walking towards the Shalour Gym-

-Walks inside and notices the skaters-
I bet I'm going to have to defeat them all in order to get to Korrina.

Similarly a faint smile can be seen on Cleo's face
Cleo: See ya', Dandelion.
Pakhet and Montu look at Cleo, then at eachother in bewilderment.
Cleo: -Calling over to Montu and Pakhet- Hey, lovebirds. Let's go home.
Montu and Pakhet snap out of their trance as they follow Cleo out of the venue. heading back to the hotel for the night
Shalour City (Park)
On the way back, Cleo walks through the park of which Constantin and Leonard had their conversation earlier and lo and behold, Constantin is still there underneath that tree. Albeit he's preparing to head back home for the night.
Cleo: Well whaddya know? It seems Dendelion was right about our local Voltaire.
Constantin jerks around, before groaning and rubbing his temples and forehead.
Constantin: Urgh... Please, I don't want to have this dance every time someone with even tangible relations to the Kalosian nobility passes by me.
Cleo: Hey wh-
Constantin: And before you pounce on me, Cleopatre de Nile, I mean that in general. I'm not going to attack you and your family like my father, Amadeus did. I fancy myself as being above such petty remarks.
Cleo crosses her arms and pouts.
Cleo: Still doling out the charm, I see.
Constantin: ...I am not trying to antagonize you, Mademoiselle Cleopatre. I would respect it if you at least try to do the same with me.
Cleo, seeing that Constantin was right in that he really was not doing much to antagonize her, decides to soften up a bit and drops the tough act.
Cleo: Hmph. You could at least drop that air of moral superiority that constantly clouds you.
Constantin: Some old habits die hard, mademoiselle Cleopatre. I have not met a member of a noble family who lacks said air.
Cleo: Touche- Hey wait.
Cleo pouts again while Constantin shrugs.
Cleo: I can see why you and Dandelion locked horns now, you're way too smug.
Constantin: Because I really don't want to get into another argument today. Let's just say we both reached an impasse and decide to drop the subject
Cleo: Fine by me.
There is an awkward silence between the two, before Constantin speaks up again.
Constantin: So... you seem slightly more... chipper than usual.
Cleo: Erwha?

An incredibly short girl struggled her way through the snow. It was hard when you were so short that it rose up to your knees! Her rain boots were at least waterproof, doing a fairly good job at keeping her dry.
She had switched into a lavender dress-coat for the cold day, and save for her thighs it was keeping her quite snug and warm. This was a sacrifice she was willing to make in the name of fashion. Her beanie was ever present on her head and her scarf was pulled up, just barely not covering her mouth. She'd put on mittens for the occasion.
Geez, who froze the distortion world over?
Valorie didn't know why but the snow filled her with a deep sense of dread. It was seemingly supernatural, as she'd never had such feelings against snow before! She'd grown up around snow in Iccirus City, spent half her life in it even! Yet now as she stood there alone a sense of melancholy and panic settled over her.
She didn't want to be here anymore.
Valorie quickly made her way, and quickly is once again ironic because she's too short to run fast in this much snow, to the pokecenter.
She'd just... hide there for today. Yeah. She'd hide and drink hot chocolate!
I dropped out of school to become a pokemon master, but then they pulled me right back in to get my doctorate!Shalour City
Jacob: -Is wandering around, not doing much of anything-
Jacob's Mindscape
-Lightning flashes down, temporarily illuminating the darkness covered bell tower chamber-
-The Hollow is still strung up and suspended off the floor by the pulsing darkness soaked tentacle and vein like wraps that are flowing into the wall-
-In front of him stands the Soul that spoke to him last time, the girl with the shoulder length lightish hair, in the short fringed and tattered gray dress-
Soul: "... They defeated both Soul fragments. I know it's unacceptable but-"
The Hollow: " ▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅ !>
Soul: "Yourself? No, you're too weak. You'll never-"
The Hollow: -Roars again and tugs with his right arm, which is tethered to the wall behind him-
-It hisses with indigence before jerking its arm forward and shearing off the back wall of the room-
-The liquid darkness immediately is repulsed, as if the shadows themselves fear it freeing itself-
The Hollow: -Looks with confusion that it's still attached to the wall, and several wrappings undo themselves and swirl off its arms and raise up into the air-
-It hisses and they slam down on the wall, shattering it and it collapses, finally unbound, it's tentacle like rotting gray wrappings push it off the ground-
-They lurch out the open archway and it begins scaling down the massive main tower, its covered eyes set on something below the cloudline, which itself was miles below-
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."
