[Though she does notice Hilbert's embarrassment (and might have noted it down as a character trait: the modest hero, standing up for his Pokemon), Shauntal doesn't comment on it.]

Oh, of course not! I'm a novelist, you see. I find writing about the relationship between Pokemon and their Trainers to be one of the most fascinating subjects there is, and in a place like this, there's bound to be plenty of inspiration for new novels! I would normally obtain this sort of inspiration from challengers, but it doesn't seem as if the epilogue of this new adventure will come anytime soon.
