Hope you, your >shrouded Pokemon, and your lame Ditto lose, Maria." As Minax leaves the tent, an almost tangible aura surrounds ?Maria?. Her hands clench into fists and she begins to stalk off after Minax. Drake quickly positions his robed form directly in her path. "Get out of my way." Barely restrained fury can clearly be heard in ?Maria?s? voice as she continues to advance. "We?re supposed to be doing this for fun, right?" Drake?s voice issues from within the black hood while the duplicate of Minax regains her feet and comes over. An evil grin plays over ?Maria?s? lips before she answers "Oh, I?ll be having fun alright." "What really wrong?" Mimic asks, reverting to his normal speech pattern while still holding Minax?s form. "What Minax said that bad?" A furry form brushing up against her leg and purring causes ?Maria? to look down. Seeing Memuyo the Meowth brushing up against her is the final piece needed to make her stop and sigh. If it were Mimic alone, she might tell him that having Minax rub Doppler?s death in her face enforced that everything that she had known from her time was gone. Without Seth, she was now alone. But it wasn?t just Mimic here, so instead she says "I guess it?s still from losing Seth. I know he?ll be back, but it?s still not easy." Mimic nods, but before he can give her a comforting response, Drake breaks in with "It may not be easy, but you?re still here to have some fun. Why don?t we get your mind off of this by going out there and doing that?" ?Maria? gives a smile and tells him "Okay.". With a pause of only a heartbeat, she then inquires "Can I beat Minax up after the contest?" ?Minax? sweatdrops "Um?" Drake tells her "If she wins, then we?ll see about it." More sweatdrops appear on ?Minax? and her head drops. "By the way, you should probably change back to ?Maria? for the contest." ?Maria? tells ?Minax? as the group heads out of the tent.
