"HUH?"
Both me and Amelia say in damn near unison as even through she can't hear what Houndoom's saying the smile on her face compared to the normal scowl is just to drastic of a change not to be noticed. Although she does say it quieter than I do and that shows as Houndoom chooses to get on my case and leave Amelia alone.
"What do you mean huh? I can't congratulate you now? Wow! And to think I was actually kind of proud of you! I should whoop your ass again for taking my thanks for granted!"
Houndoom start to approach me with a crooked smile and fire slightly spilling from her maw. Looking up towards Amelia I immediately give her the I'm not dealing with that look and start running off back towards the direction of the mansion.
"Get back here!" As I expect Houndoom starts chasing me. 'This is so much better I don't have too stress about hiding myself anymore! Although Houndoom's probably gonna kill me for hiding it.'

"Don't leave me next time!" Amelia riles up my wispy head fur while carrying me towards Darach, who was awaiting our return. Houndoom of course caught me even with the boost from Quick Attack and the trees slowing her down. Yipping up at her while giving a yes'nt nod she sighs and ups me down. 'What? I can't promise you anything.
Jumping out of her arms I walk with her towards Darach and the rest of Amelia's team. "Lady Amelia, I have good news for you." Darach being the perfect butler that he is quickly bends down with bending his knees and cleans off the prominent dirt on my forehead. 'I don't like being clean by another guy but I'lllet this one slide.'
Amelia slightly pets both Doku and Jarl before turning towards the butler. "Really? What is it?" Returning to his perfect posture Darach responds in the same classy voice as before. "I've come to inform you that the training of your Pokemon is complete. They've all reached sufficient levels in the main attributes you've wanted while picking up a few things from my own training as well."
"Really! So we're finally Done!?" I beginning both Doku and Jarl had proud looks and an aura of confidence but at the mention of finally done both of they visibly deflate. "Lady, I'm not sure if the words finally done induce a sense of accomplishment, but yes your training with me is complete. Unless you'd like to stay for longer Lady Caitlin has approved you starting the Gym Challenge."
Amelia while apologizing to Doku and Jarl brightens up even more at Darach's last sentence and immediately starts hugging everything is sight. Both Doku and Jarl aren't able to get away in time but I back away and Darach using some mystical butler powers evades Amelia without a speck of dust getting on him.
"Please focus Lady Amelia." After evading another of Amelia's hug she finally stops and listens futher. "This is the time for you to choose which region you what to take for your Gym Challenge. As I heard previously you aren't taking the Sinnoh challenge but you wanted to go to either Johto or Kanto, correct?"
I raise on of my none existent eyebrows at that as I had never heard of that before even with Amelia being more open, well more open than usual after the reveal. "Yes, I was and still am planning on going to Johto or Kanto. I though that I should get a little experience with other Gym Challenges first and then I'll come back here and win it all!"
Darach chuckles slightly at the win it all statement breaking his air of professionalism but he gets right back into character. "I see, Good. Then I wish you the best of luck! But if your planning on going to those places than you better hurry up as the Gym Challenge over there has already begun."
Amelia's face drops a little at that as Darach gets a slight smile at her reaction as he turns around and starts making his way towards the garden. "Have a safe trip Lady Amelia." Darach says this while throwing a toothy smile over his shoulder.
On cue Amelia starts rushing into the house while reaching for her pockets and balling both Doku and Jarl. "Come on help me pack!" Yelling towards me as she goes through the sliding door into the house. 'I should've expected this she follows so many protagonist tropes its not even funny.'
