Carolina listens attentively to what Maine explains, about Pokémon battles and training. Her smile only gets bigger as she listens to him, both for his enthusiasm and for the descriptions.

"That sounds pretty good," she says. It's something to focus on as well, besides getting stronger themselves. She looks down at Creamsicle.

"What do you think, you want to fight?"

Charmander! Creamsicle says enthusiastically, before tilting their head back and letting loose with a blast of flame in a happy bellow in front of them. That does startle Carolina a bit, making her lean back a little before she laughs disbelievingly, some stray papers on the ground sizzling into ash.

"I'm gonna take that as a yes," she says dryly.
