...If Lyra could forgive Vinnie, then she could forgive Sasha too. She might not have spent as much time with Sasha as she had with the Venusaur, and Sasha might have been the one to incite that whole... incident... but she was still a Pokemon. Maybe Lyra ought to give it a chance? "Sorry, Sasha, one second."
She turned around to look at Janus. "What do you think?" She whispered. Janus looked confused. "About this! The whole situation seems a little funny, don't you think?" Janus shrugged. "I mean... date coupons? She obviously didn't mean to give me one, so how'd... I mean... unless... maybe she meant to give it to you?"
"Urf," went Janus.
"Oh. Yeah. I guess she wouldn't be human right now if that was the case. So... what should we do?"
Janus paused, looking deep in thought. "Urf," he said.
Well... okay. That settled it. Lyra turned back around. "Okay, Sasha. Let's hang out."

Granted her current repertoire of locations was very limited, but she knew there was at least ONE large mall if they took the bus there. Yett after seeing Janus there (hello slow, timid awkward wave), she realized buses wouldn't be needed. They could fly.
Plus it was cheaper.
Wait, maybe she should ask Lyra first.
"Does the Mall sound good?"

Oh and also clothes and shoes and stuff. Those were pretty good too.
It was a good choice: one could almost feel some of the lingering awkwardness starting to evaporate. Lyra took Janus by the hand and gave Sasha a sunny smile. "Definitely! Let's get going!"
Reply
"We can get better air currents there. The Mall sticks out in the middle of town and is pretty easy to spot!"

Oh... speaking of that! By the time they reached the roof, Lyra dug into her trusty trainer bag, pulling out a scarf. She motioned for Janus to lower his head, and wrapped it around his broad neck as best he could. "Haha... this is actually my scarf. Looks a bit silly, doesn't it? It's really hard to find stuff big enough for my team, now that they're all evolved. I bet you guys have the same problem, right?" Two-thirds of Red's team was, after all, pretty huge. She finished by taking off her hat and sticking it on Janus' head. As poofy as it was, it... really only covered his antennae and head-spike.
"Maybe it's not a big deal for fire-types, though. My Magcargo's always warm. ...But my Magcargo is made of lava, so maybe that's an exception. There used to be rumours that you guys lived on Mt. Silver, and I've heard that place is always freezing cold."

"Basically, we did with what we had and survived because we're an amazing team. We did have a bit of help too, but I learned so much."

...Just another reason, then, that the Team Rocket Kid was so far above other trainers. Thinking about it made her feel... small and strangely uncomfortable. "You guys are pretty tough, huh?" She lifted herself onto Janus' back, patting between his shoulders. "Just a quick flight to the mall, Janus. No problem, right?"
"Urf."
Lyra cast a glance over to Sasha as Janus spread his wings in preparation. "Hey... are you feeling up to a race, or should we take it easy?"
Reply
"You think the both of you are really up for it?"
Reply
"Well... alright. We don't believe in holding back, though, okay?" She wrapped her arms around Janus' neck, pressing herself down flat. "On the count of three! One... two... three!"
Janus sprang off the rooftop, wings working furiously.
Reply
"CHAAAR!" she warned them. Janus probably understood that as "Chaaaaarge!"
Yeah it was pretty close when you thought about it. Blame the language.
Reply
"Come on, Janus, let's show her how Johto Pokemon do it!" Janus put on some altitude, scattering a passing flock of Taillow. It just seemed like a trip to the mall, nothing to really get that excited over... but if Lyra said hurry, then he'd hurry, all right.
Reply
Still, Lyra had wanted a challenge and by Arceus, Sasha was going to give her all and make it the biggest one she could manage. Janus was a pretty fast Pokemon, and Sasha's strength was in her power, not her speed.
Reply
At the speed they were both going, it didn't take long until the mall was in sight. Lyra tightened her arms around Janus, pressing herself down onto his back. "Alright, Janus, dive!" The Dragonite complied, pulling his wings in and dropping into a high-speed descent.
