Palila finished her battle and lingered around, noticing that literally everyone had an easier time fighting the gym leader than she did. Despite winning, she still somehow felt like she had to prove herself.
As the gym leader approached Sophie and complimented her, Palila bristled from her seat on the side of the room, somewhat jealous of the accolades and attention. She was purposefully listening in, and her eyes widened when the gym leader explained that they were going the wrong way.
She really DOESN'T know where she is or where shes going! Palila thought to herself, fighting down the urge to stand up and start yelling. Instead, she jammed her hands down into her pockets really hard and pulled her hood up over her head, reminding herself she had no viable pokemon to stand by her side in a conflict and therefore shouldn't start one.

The news about some strangely dressed people causing trouble in a mine and some of the groups decision to go and help the miners seemed a little strange, but Palila shook it off. She did have a sense of civic duty somehow- plus, a fight in a mine might be good battle practice as well as somewhere to take out more of the anger she seemed to have.
She shot a look across at Amy, nodding when she requested time to heal her pokemon.

"I'll come too, but yeah I need to swing by the PC."

She looked over at Neith and Renny, who seemed hesitant.
"Dudes, we'll be with a gym leader, a bunch of miners who know their stuff, and you're all clearly mega strong too! Don't be a wimpy wismur! It'll be a breeze. What if there's some sick-as cave scenes? What if there's some, uh, interesting mining technology? Won't you feel bad if you miss out on something cool?" She grinned, trying to goad them into coming along too by poking at their clear interest niches. Being alone in the dark with Amy, Drake and Sophie gave her the feeling she might just get beaten up and left behind- she wanted backup but didn't want to ask outright.

Regardless of their answers, she had to take off quickly in order to get to the PC, heal, and catch up with the gym leader who was leading the way to the mines. She flipped the rest of the crew a shaka sign and with a squeak of sneakers she was out and dashing down the road.
