"Well?" Jason Cassidy asked. "The elf has an Unown tracker all her own, and it confirms what I detected," Sai Meilan reported. "The four Shinies are heading for Lavaridge Town." "Fine, Fire-types," Jason noted. "So let's take the Shiny that the girl has and get it over with." Meilan narrowed her mono-eye at the trainer before her and noted, "Jason, the girl has swords and mystical items, as well as a Shiny Unown with the Hidden Power of Water." "And I have twelve Dark-types," Jason noted. "Four of which are pernicious brutes who barely listen to you, and the rest aren't battlers themselves," Meilan noted. "For example, that amorous Sneasel of yours. He's more artist than warrior." "I can still take them," Jason insisted. "Not without a lot of work," Meilan noted. "Besides, we have no idea what their new friend is capable of?" "That old Zubat?" Jason asked as he began walking away from the Pokémon Center. "He's not important." "You'd be surprised," Meilan replied. A glance in Jason's direction later, she asked, "Where are you going?" "The Gym," Jason answered. "I need to remind you just who has the power around here." Meilan sighed. _You have a long way to go, boy._ TBC?
