Chapter 27

"I'm really excited to get to Cyllage City!" Mira chirped happily as she and Amos walked down one of the streets of Ambrette Town.

"What's in Cyllage City?" Amos asked, smiling a little at Mira's excitement. She had been disappointed about her loss at the Pokemon Showcase the day before, but she had perked right up very quickly like usual.

"Me, Margaret, Deborah, Leia, and Shauna are going to see the Showcase there!" She explained. "The Kalos Queen herself is going to give a performance at the beginning of the Theme Performance!"

"Will White or Serena be joining you? I'd imagine at least Serena would want to come."

Not surprisingly, Mira frowned irritability at once and huffed, "She said she might come too. I hope she doesn't..."

"The alternative is having her flirt with Sky Blue."

"Not if I can help it! I swear, if she gets one inch toward him-"

Amos watched Mira continued her rant on Serena with amusement. It was the day after the Ambrette Town Pokemon Showcase, and they were heading toward Route 8. It was time for them to split into their groups of three and head to Cyllage City. Everyone was scattered around Ambrette Town, but they knew at least White was on the beach of Route 8. Amos and Mira had been the last to check out of the Pokemon Center, so they were both heading down to the beach to be assigned to their groups.

"-and that is just the beginning!" Mira continued furiously, though Amos didn't know what she was talking about.

"Yeah, I kinda zoned out, so what were we talking about?" Amos admitted, smiling a little.

"What?! Why does EVERYONE ignore me when I talk?!" Mira complained while stomping her foot.

"Sorry, I was just thinking. Why can't you try to get along with her? I know she's a little strict with everyone, but she could be worse."

"Like?"

"She could be a whole lot more cruel and rude."

"But she's flirting with my brother! Do you really expect me to take that lying down?!"

"No offense, Mira, but he doesn't have a whole lot of options. Besides, I don't think he likes Serena. She flirted so much and was so nice to him that she freaked him out. I personally think she was very unfortunate to have started liking him."

"Does that mean you're on my side?"

"I'm in the neutral zone right now, you two just need to work it out," Amos told her a little more sternly. "Then again, what did White say about this?"

He did hear that Mira and Leia had both rushed to tell White about Serena. However he never found out about White's reaction or what she planned to do about it. He personally thought she would have ripped Serena limb from limb, but that apparently never happened since the older trainer let Serena sneer at her when her own group left for Cyllage City.

Mira snorted and scoffed, "She said she's not involving herself with stopping girls like Serena that like Sky Blue. She said she learned her lesson with Esther and that she leaves the situation with Serena in my capable hands."

"Esther?" Amos repeated. "Who's Esther?"

"A girl who use to go crazy over Sky Blue. She was a part of a rival street performer group called Team JET. She was the same age as White, so she only took White very seriously. I was still little so she didn't take me seriously. She kept mistaking me as a five year old and talked to me as if I were a baby..."
