“Mm? This?” Nemona slaps her stomach for emphasis. “This is just me preparing for a battle, you know? It’s where I put all of my knowledge!”
“Erm… can’t you put your knowledge in, your, I don’t know, uh…
Cahbahza…?”
“Cah-bey-za, Penny. Those classes are NOT doing you any good, ahaha!”
Penny pouts. “I-I’ll get there in time, okay?! Anyways, that’s… weird.”
“You don’t need to understand it! You’ll see what I mean soon enough, ok?”
“If you say so… You know, there’s a couple of hours before they introduce the champions to us, right…?”
“I know! I figured it was gonna be later, I know Ms. Cynthia doesn’t do super well in the heat, so it’d be best to wait till it cools down at night – but…” Nemona taps her chin with her index finger, pondering for a moment. “They’re staying at the dorms, right, Pen?”
“Uh, yeah…? Not like we have a hotel around here…”
“Maybe I can just go say hi! Really quick!”
“Wha– are you crazy – Nemona!” Penny tries to reach out to grab ahold of her friend’s shirt – or flubber, really – but fails as the girl runs off. “I hope she doesn’t do anything stupid…”
And yet, Penny’s wish would be ignored.
As Nemona walked back into the school, her eyes locked with Champion Dawn’, who was dressed casually as opposed to her normal long, pink and yellow dress.
