Lady tosses her pokeball, watching with a happy smile as Potchy is freed from it once again. The Poochyena shakes his fur, and tidys it up with a few well placed licks. Lady ruffles the fur on his head, "You're such an oddball."
"Stayin' alive, stayin' alive, ah ah-"
Lady scrambles to grab her Holocaster. "Ego Skyland" flashes in cyan letters on the top. Potchy's ears perk up as Lady goes to sit on one of the couches near by, and opens her Holocaster, allowing the hologram to appear. Her father is pale skinned like her, well at least his arms are up past his shoulders. His battling in the hotter areas of the region caused his skin to glow with a toned tan, and for his blond hair to appear white in contrast with his skin.
"Dad?" Lady squeaks, "I uh...hi..."
Ego is frowning with his arms crossed, "You forgot your bag, your notebook and the supply of potions and healers I gave you."
Lady blushes, "Sorry, I guess I was a bit excited."
Ego shakes his head, "I knew you weren't ready-"
"No!" Lady yelps. When several heads turn her way, she lowers her voice, "I'm fine, I promise. I made some friends who I'm going to be traveling with."
Ego frowns even more (Lady isn't sure how that is possible), "Ladybell, I've told you before, you can't trust people that easily. How do you know they aren't with Team Flare or some such?"
Lady huffs and turns her head away to look at Potchy, who now had his eyes settled on her new friends with a look of suspicion, "They're my friends, and just because you don't trust anyone after what Mom-"
"Lady Skyland, do not speak of her-"
"You can't just keep avoiding it!" Lady snaps, "I'm getting upset over you being a controlling butt face-"
"Lady, you can't even be around a simple campfire-"
"Dad, stop," Lady says in a tone that makes Potchy whimper. He has never heard Lady speak in such a hard tone, not filled with sadness or bubbling happiness, but a tone filled with steely metal that pings with danger.
Lady rests a hand on Potchy's back and softens her tone, "I'm at the pokemon center in the next town over. Just send my stuff over. Goodnight." And with that, Lady hangs up.
