"I see. Must be saddening to hear that he moved away, but at least you still love and respect him. I do think you might have a chance even if you're ten years younger than him." She hadn't thought of anyone who liked older men, but this sounded like Nia really loved him. She hadn't been in a relationship yet, but she did give some sort of advice for girls to pursue what they wanted most. The bug dragon seemed to be interested in the conversation so far and she seemed to enjoy her trainer's company too. The other thing was that her Pokemon should enjoy the view, but sometimes only one would need to do so as the amount of Pokemon would make it harder to take care of them. On the other hand, more company would be better with all those Pokemon being lonely and such.

"Please, it would have never worked. A ten year old and a twenty year old. Even when I would have been of legal age and all... Uh, he'd still have been almost thirty." She sighed a bit. "It was a bad time after he left. I grew bitter at myself, and at the world I knew." She bit her lip for a moment, thinking for a moment, as if trying to find the right words to say.
"I painted a lot at the time. Maybe my best works yet, although they are nothing I should be proud of. Abstract imagery that only meant things to me... Things that just are not pretty to look at or think about." She shook her head once. "I didn't talk much either during the time. I just sat in my room, painting. Maybe sometimes I cried. I tried calling him a few times, but he was never free."

"I know how you feel. Nonetheless, I hope that doesn't dampen your mood, but you know, that's really depressing that you became bitter at yourself and the entire world." Listening to Nia's plight made sense as when someone leaves, they're bound to find everything tumbling down. It kind of felt that maybe this dampened the mood a little, so changing the subject away from the depressing things might help a bit. Still, she actually wondered if the other girl would ever find some happiness in her life during those dark times. "So, is there anything new happening that I should find interesting?" And all the while, the dragon listened in to the conversation as if she found their subjects interesting. The bug dragon would certainly make an interesting Pokemon for usage in contests so far.

"It was childish. Overdramatic, too." She shook her head for a moment. "But I was just that. Young. A child. Still am." Something about that made her giggle a bit, before returning back to her deadpan stature. "And uh... Anything new? Well, I've got myself a roomie. Mio... Yeah, Mio. She's nice enough. I guess."
She yawned slightly, raising her stumps up into the air. "Sometimes I just like doin' something like this. Opening up to someone. I guess I should... Uh, apologize for all that teenager anger and bitterness I unleashed at you. Just feels good letting it all out."

"Mio must be a good roommate. I don't think I have a roommate yet, but I'm sure someone would like to be my rommate soon." This Mio person looks like she's really nice and the way that Nia talked about her was kind of deadpan. Maybe that was just the other girl's tone of voice. And the drama that Nia had said to her was some way of unleashing her problems on the entire world. It was good to talk about problems, so there was no harm in the other girl to do so. "it's okay. No harm done. Sometimes, it's good to let your anger out since I believe that relieves stress." Though, she felt that this overdramatic plight might need to heal sometime when the other girl was less upset. She could understand that the girl was bitter about her tutor moving far away and her anger too.

"Well. She seems to not know how to make pizza." She frowned a bit. "But I guess we all have things we don't know about. Like I don't know how to hug people well. Or how to play rock paper scizzors. Or how to shake hands." She spoke all of this in her traditional deadpan. Maybe it was meant as a joke? It probably was.
After a while of simple silence, she continued to stare down. "You know. Sometimes I wanna try to jump." She squinted her eyebrows. "See how falling would feel like and all. Feel the air and stuff."
"But that'd be stupid because I would die."

"Well, I don't really know how to make conscious decisions sometimes. Those decisions I make tend to be really stupid at best. And I guess your roommate should probably learn to make pizza." That student did seem like she needed to take some cooking classes or something. On the other hand, she did know how to cook anything that gourmet chefs would cook for a restaurant. And then, the subject turned to the edge of the academy where the girl described about wanting to jump and feel the air, though it would be very dangerous. "I think I did want to feel the air while jumping, but I guess that would be dangerous for me too. Unless, a flying Pokemon was there to cushion the fall or save me from falling to my death." If she did try to jump down, it was possible that some of the larger flyers that she had would save her in time like Sekhmet. The bug dragon was large enough to have her ride on her back.

"Eh, I'm sure she will learn, considering she'll probably be cooking everything we eat. Considering I can't cook much with my legs and have constantly managed with Kristoff shoving pizza into the microwave." She snickered for a while. She hadn't been eating that healthy while in the academy, aye. Just pizza and tons of soy milk. Maybe she should eat more. She should.
"And... Uh. I just don't have the pokemon that could carry me. I only have my three, and even then, All of them are still in their basic forms. Never been the one to battle to try an' evolve."

"Kristoff sounds like a good cook compared to Mio. I do have a Ralts of my own and I don't usually have him help out unless my hands are full." Come to think of it, the Ralts that she met previously had not been outside often. Probably because he was shy or something. It was a lot like what Hans feels when he gets outside and meets with other people. Nia's roommate would probably need to learn more about cooking anyway since Nia would starve if the other girl did not know how to cook for others and herself. "I'm kind of like the type of trainer that wants every one of my base form Pokemon to get stronger in some way." Her starters evolved already and the other Pokemon that she had raised evolved except for a few that she picked up along the way. Perhaps, she would need to train them sometime later.[/font]

"Eh. Only pokemon of mine that has evolved is Kristoff, and even then that's only because I was forced into two fights with him and I used him to catch one pokemon so I could satisfy mom for a while. Soon enough she'll call me again and ask what new pokemon I've caught, and then I need to lie to her and get my butt to some of the areas, spend some valuable time trying to find something and then catch it, and then it just ends up being something I dislike due to personality, or maybe it'll even be something that wants to battle."
She took a long breath.

"Ah, I see. If I were you, I'd probably tell my mom that I don't really want to catch any more Pokemon if you actually dislike battling with them. Sometimes, I don't really like using my ghosts to battle since they mostly have weak defenses." It was kind of odd for Nia's mother to want her daughter to catch more Pokemon, but the mother would have to respect her wishes to some extent. Everyone had different parents though and she did not have nagging parents at all. It was mostly where her own parents supported whatever decisions their daughter does. All of the students in the academy had a different interest in what to use their Pokemon for and some didn't want to use them for battling. Maybe her Ralts needed some fresh air and possibly to interact with his fellow teammate.

"She would take none of that. And sure, she wouldn't probably be able to do anything... Till she would fly here to this island and probably force me to." She snickered. "Don't ask me why she would do something that expensive for something so trivial... She's just gonna do it. I know it."
"But eh. Maybe I could ask her to lay off. Although then I'd probably get my bros or uncles calling and telling me she's having heart troubles because of shock or something..." She bit her lip silently. "I hate my family, really. But... They are still my family."

"My parents are different though. I do love my family, though they do have some moments where my mother would never let me keep any ghosts that I found to be my pet." There were fond memories where her mother wouldn't let ghosts inside the house due to how their mischievous nature would trash the entire room. And things would fly everywhere and plates would break much to her neat freak mother's horror. And yet, her father actually supported it and even secretly let some of the Gastly inside without a care. She wondered how her family was doing though as she was going to be here in the academy for about four years or so. Possibly, there would be more semesters and a graduation once the class had completed their courses. There was still much to do in the present year as the contest club meeting was going a little slow.

"It's probably nice to have supporting parents." She nodded, stretching her stumps as she then proceeded to stand up. She rubbed her left cheek against her left shoulder for a while. "Think I'll head back to my dorm and lie down for a bit. Definitely not paint. I'm in a creative mood. I paint good stuff while like that. And I shouldn't paint good stuff because my good stuff is very disturbing."
She nodded at her trail of logic before beginning to wobble off, humming to herself in silence as she stared to the sky. Maybe he was proud of her, wherever he was.

And it seemed that Nia left for her dorm which probably should be time to get going too. Maybe she would explore the edge of the academy sometime later, but there were more ghosts to pursue in the isle where the moon shined. Besides, hunting for some Pokemon on a cliff would be a good idea to build up her team a little bit. The bug dragon yawned as she stretched her wings. Sekhmet was definitely ready for the event that was coming up and she did display her usage of moves for future contest meetings. Perhaps, she might have to carry her home for that matter since the dorms were probably a bit far. Or maybe not since some students might find it a bit strange that she would use a Flygon for aerial transport. Whatever the case, she walked to where the academy was with the dragon flying overhead. She was kind of glad that she had a good conversation with Nia though some topics were darker than upbeat ones.
