Sophie beat them to Superior City, gazing over Bellsprout as the boys went over. Jack paused.

"Sophie?" She hummed as Bellsprout seemed to be training on its moves. "You seem quiet... almost dodgy." She hummed again, this time Bellsprout noticed the second hum and turned to them. It waved before she gestured something. It nodded before the duo went to the gym.

"Mute?" Jack hummed at Ash's words.

"Maybe. Come on." He hummed before they followed her.

Even with a Grass type, the Fighting type gym leader stood no chance. His Riolu tried its best and was the strongest. Bellsprout's Sleep Powder put it down before she won.

The duo caught up as she petted Bellsprout for doing a good job. Jack smiled.

"Sophie!" She hid behind Bellsprout with a hiss.

"Bella, save me-" Bellsprout looked up at them as Ash smiled.

"We won't hurt you. We're actually wondering about something." She didn't move as Bellsprout smiled at them. "We were wondering what you meant." She held up a notecard.

'All I'll say is Aria. Figure it out.' She then picked up Bellsprout. "Come on, Bella." They went off as Ash hummed.

"She named Bellsprout Bella... that's adorable. Come on. We gotta beat Devon too."
