[In that time, Ashley's been coaxed out of her room and outside the Pokémon Center, which Jane has informed her is a good place to wait for someone. Also in that time, she's discovered a few other Pokémon that are apparently hers, and in the attempt to keep bad people away, she's got a Chikorita and a Sandshrew with her...
...though they don't seem to get along well. The Sandshrew keeps rolling too far away, all jumpy and energized, and the Chikorita gets fed up with him and pulls him back with his vines. Rinse, lather, repeat.
This is what Ashley's got her focus on when Aqua arrives, so she starts when she hears her name, but she does turn and...shrink a little, involuntarily. She manages a small wave, though, her other hand clinging to Jane.]
H- hi.
Hello there. The flight here must have taken awhile. Thank you again for making it.
