Hailey let out a gasp at the redhead's aggressive response. "Well!" she said with a frown. "Just because they're breaking the rules doesn't mean we have to as well!" At least she wouldn't be doing so any time soon. If it came up sometime down the line when she was a successful Gym Leader, who knew what that could do to her career and reputation?
The girl had returned her eyes to the battlefield but before she could regain a grasp on what was currently happening, the same loud girl shouted a warning. From the corner of her eye Hailey caught sight of the Celeste's upcoming attack and managed to quickly shut her eyes before the light could blind her.
What finally did get Hailey's attention back on the battlefield was a pained cry from her precious Pokemon. Her eyes popped open to see it taking a Crunch attack from the Mightyena it had been facing off against. She let out another gasp. "Oh no!" It seemed she had become too engrossed in her duties of keeping the peace as a future Gym Leader and forgotten her duties of looking after her Pokemon as a Trainer.
Not that there was much more left to do at this point. One of the Plasma grunts had been knocked out and the other was surrendering. Hailey, expecting all the fighting to stop at this point, took out a PokeBall to recall Beartic. To her surprise though, the Goodra had to get the final blow in and sent them flying into the sky. While probably a relief for most, being at the source of a distress call without an antogonizing force caused her to worry.
"O-oh..." she simply said to Rin's words. Still though, she couldn't help but wonder what the officers would think of all this and how she would be seen because of it. She felt ashamed for it, but for a moment she wished she had never come to help this unruly group.
To her surprise, the redheaded delinquent also had big ambitions for her future. As expected of someone aiming for the spotlight, she played it up for the crowd. At least it seemed to calm everyone down. Hailey wondered if maybe she should chime in as well, assuring that she would continue to ensure the well-being of everyone when she became a Gym Leader. She wasn't sure it would fly in her case though. For a celebrity, all publicity was good publicity, but as a Gym Leader, you were looked up to and needed to be seen as a positive role model. If anything, she feared she'd be criticized for not keeping the situation under control, or not being too busy training to even answer this call.
Hailey was only pulled out of her thoughts by Emily's revelation. "What?! You're Plasma?!" she questioned. "Or rather... you were... is that why those guys made trouble with you all?"
