"Oh! There's no need to apologize!" The young trainer begins with a cheerful giggle, "I was just worried the poor thing was lost! Plus, she just looked so much like one of my Pokemon, I sorta got mixed up!"

With that, Madoka signals with a nod of her head towards the small group of Eeveelutions behind her, all chasing each other about and much more concerned with their own antics than the surrounding events of the tournament. The Vaporeon and Flareon, in particular, seem quite ready to break out into a horribly one-sided spar any moment now.

It was only now that it hit Madoka that this trainer wasn't just a normal encounter; this man is a Pokemon World Tournament participant. She still couldn't quite bring herself to that level, even though she was, and she instead flushed a bright red before starting to sputter out a starsticken greeting, "I--uh... I'm Madoka! I'm a new trainer here, so forgive me if I'm a little... well, intimidated!" She giggles, extending a shaky hand, fearing in the back of her mind that she would be looked down upon and shrugged off for her lack of experience, "And--um... Sorry if I should know this, but... What's your name?"
