Dendemille Town

Lawrence waves goodbye

Lawrence: Goodbye.

Dendemille Town

-Leonard folds his arms.-

Leonard: I'll be the first to admit that Father hardly keeps the most scrupulous of company. That said, if this is the kind of person that your lifestyle attracts, then you may want to consider rethinking some of your life choices.

Dendemille

Eldräv: (runs to Pakhet) <Look, Mommy! The nice boy gave me a cute bandaid!> :3

Mikki: Eeeerghhh...

Thorvald: <Information: He'll probably forget all about you once he finds another girl. He's like that.>

Dendemille

Cleo idly picks at her nails.

Cleo: I'm guessing the company he hangs around is kind that brings in dirty money.

Lawrence gives Cleo a short glare, but rolls his eyes and starts walking away.

Pakhet: <Hopefully soon.>

Dendemille Hotel

Mezzo: Why do I want to go to a town with creepy people?

Dendemille Town, Move Relearner's house

Pianis: How much would that be?

Move Relearner: How many Heart Scales do you have?

Pianis: Why exactly do you take payment in Heart Scales?

Move Relearner: What else would I use?

Dendemille Town

"That's... Kind of what I'm doing. It's not like I've already joined them or anything, I am thinking this through. I know that Orre left a large psychological scar on you, but... If you just keep being pessimistic about this, it's not really going to help anyone is it? You've taken a lot of risks back in Orre as well and even though you went through massive pain, you never gave up trying to save me from Cipher, did you? You knew the risks, but you still kept going and succeeded. Why aren't I allowed to do the same thing? Granted, the situations are quite different, but it's a similar concept, isn't it?" said Duke, keeping his cool, but still letting out another sigh "You may think that I'm ignoring you, but I do pay attention to what you say. I promised that I would be fully honest with you and I'm not backing down on that! I know you're worried, but I think we can work this out if we just work together on this."

Dendemille Hotel

Ever: Because it's pretty?

Move Relearner

Amanita: ...You have Heart Scales, right?

Anistar Cafe

-Straw has gone here to get something to eat, when Claire suddenly comes over and sits down across from him, Catherine, and Aurora-

Claire:-cheerily- Why hello there, Straw. How are you doing?

...I'm doing fine.

Claire:Good. Anyways, I saw you over here, and thought I'd come say hi! Us intelligent wealthy people need to stick together, after all. Unlike that stupid ice girl...

...What was that?

Claire:Oh, nothing! ^_^

-Straw isn't fooled at all, but decides to ignore it-

Catherine:<...Who does she think she's fooling here? Is she trying to hit on Straw? Because I'll—>

Aurora:-stops Catherine- <She's trying to use Straw to get to Elise's weaknesses. Asking the wrong person, if you ask me. Anyways, you can't really do anything to her, it's not like you're Straw's girlfriend, remember? Also, we're Pokemon.>

Catherine:-Her expression becomes a bit disappointed- <...Right. I forgot.>

-Claire has been going on about her nobility status, Straw just nodding his head, not really caring-

Claire:...And that's how I'm going to defeat that Elise! -looks at Straw- HEY! Were you even listening?

...Huh? Oh, sure.

Claire: -_- Whatever.

-She gets up and leaves-

Finally...

Dendemille

-with Gage, standing on the walkway in front of the large windmill in town, leaning on the railing and watching the arms swing-

Gage: <... Well, this was - was easier than I had anticipated. I'm still sorry all the same.>

Well, to wrap things up, I'm glad you're not gradually losing it like Lo seems to be. Plus I don't feel like yelling at you after she and I had that talk. I'm bad at being angry.

Gage: <You think she is?>

Do I think she...? -thinks- Oh. Think it's just. Her seeing an opportunity to be better and going after it like her usual competitive self.

Gage: <You deposited the Flame Orb again, right?>

-cocks head-

Gage: <Sorry. You put it away?>

Yeah. Though by now I'm thinking of selling or destroying it. I dunno, the hoarder in me still thinks it might come in handy for something non-battling-related.

Gage: <Yes, I suppose if we ever need to burn alkanes without a Fire-type, it would be convenient. Um. Maybe burning is a bad example.>

-doesn't reply, but pets him consideringly-

Mikki: Fucking old money...

Eldräv: <Mommy? Aren't you gonna talk to your daughter?> 3:

Dendemille

Pakhet hugs Eldrav

Pakhet: <I'm... I'm sorry Eldrav. I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me after I got you into trouble...>

Pakhet giggles at Eldravs band-aid

Pakhet: <But that is an adorable band-aid you have there~>

Dendemille

Eldräv: <Don't be sad, Mommy. It was the horrible mean jerkhead's fault, not yours.> :3

Dendemille Town, hotel

Mezzo: Okay, why not.

Dendemille Town, Move Releaner's house

-Pianis shuffles through his bag a moment before pulling out three glittering scales-

Pianis: Well, looks like you're in luck.

Move Relearner: Great, let's get started!

-the move relearner takes a few moments to inspect each mon and pat them on the head-

Yukikaze: <Uh, how am I supposed to learn anything from this?>

Opal: <Eeeep!>

Crystallux: <New technique acquired. There is a 95% chance this ability will be effective in future confrontations with Water types.>

Pianis: How did you do that?

Move Relearner: Trade secret.

Dendemille Town

-Herbert looks down at the ground.-

Herbert: ...Do you really think I want you to go through what I had to endure? I kept going because I had no other choice, and even then there were days when I felt like just ending it all... but now we're safe. We're safe because we went through that ordeal, and now you want to repeat it...

-Leonard harrumphs, but decides to go off on a different tack rather than retorting to Cleo's comment.-

Leonard: I doubt you would have to deal with individuals like him-

-He punctuates this with a kick to Mikki's ribs.-

Leonard: -if you weren't so promiscuous.

Dendemille

Cleo: Oi. I don't make assumptions about your character despite the fact your infamous for hitting on any girl who takes a step inside the Battle Château. No need to devolve this conversation into slut shaming >_>.

Cleo scratches her cheek.

Cleo: Also, nice change of subject. But just so you know, I don't judge you for the fact that your family brings in laundered cash. That would be downright hypocritical of me~

Pakhet hugs her daughter tightly.

Pakhet: <You're a gem dear. you know that :3?>

Dendemille Hotel

Ever: Alright then.

-he heads out, Access skittering behind him-

Move Relearner

Amanita: Well, that was odd.

Dendemille Town

"I don't want a repeat of what happened back in Orre. We all know how badly Lyuri's plan ended, but wasn't most of it due to she wanting to act on her own instead of asking anyone for help? It's nothing like that, we're discussing what we're going to do and you're free to give some input, we're going to do everything to prevent the same thing from happening again and help deal with Illusion. We learn from past mistakes so we can do it right next time, isn't it?"

Dendemille Hotel

-Mezzo walks out as well, Sunny and Shadow following behind-

Sunny: <I thought you wanted to be with your girlfriend, Shadow.>

-Shadow folds his ears back-

Shadow: <She's not my girlfriend. And I'd really rather stay with Piano than Fortis.>

Mezzo: I can see why. Can't we send you through the PC back to Forte or something?

Shadow: <If you had my ball, sure. Last I checked, you don't.>

Mezzo: Hm... we'll have to figure out just what to do with you.

Dendemille Town, Move Relearner's house

Move Relearner: Need anything else? I could always use more Heart Scales!

Pianis: Err, no thank you.

-Pianis recalls his team and heads out the door-

Dendemille

Mikki: Please stop that...

Eldräv: <Thanks, Mommy! I love you!>

(Pakhet should feel a tap on their shoulder.)

Dendemille Town

-Ever reaches the entrance to Route 17, Amanita catching up to him-

Dendemille

Pakhet: <I love you too, dear~>

Pakhet looks over her shoulder and :3's.

Dendemille Town

-Herbert gives a sigh.-

Herbert: Well, I know I can't stop you, no matter how much I want to... I wish I could stop myself from worrying about this, but everything about this entire situation just screams trouble...

-He turns away again.-

Herbert: ...But if you're so sure, I guess I... I'll just leave you to it, then. Just...

-He hesitates, as if about to say something more, then puts his head down and walks away without another word, Falchion following behind.-

-Leonard looks highly embarrassed.-

Leonard: I was merely suggesting that you could afford to be somewhat more discerning. And unlike your family, Father doesn't take pride in his money laundering.

Dendemille

-a vaguely [Irish] accented voice comes from behind Herbert-

I suppose it would be a poor time to tell you I have the same plan?

Dendemille Town, Route 17 gate

Pianis: Oh, hi.

-Shadow is suddenly glomped from above!-

Fortis: Hi, Pinkie!

Shadow: <Put me down.>

Fortis: You're so soft and pink and pretty and fluffy! But you don't have any ribbons! How come you're not a ribbon Eevee? Then you'd be prettier and pinker and fluffier and cuter!

Mezzo: Uh, good timing, Fortis. We were just about to leave.

Pianis: Hey.
