Verdant Cavern
-Ceres is hit!-
Ceres:-squeak!-
-She inhales to Absorb some of her opponents energy!-
-The Yungoos is knocked a bit low by the Absorb, but is still in it-
Yungoos: <Don't count me out yet!>
-They go in for another Tackle-

-Ceres is healed, then knocked low again-
Ceres:<Ow! Could you maybe, stop that, please...>
-Ceres flails about-
Jason:Hehe...kinda refreshing, this.
-The Yungoos is hit by the Struggle Bug and collapses-
Yungoos: <...Fine...>
-They rush back into their burrow-

Ceres:<O-Oh! G-goodby then...>
-Jason works on restoring the Cutiefly-
Jason:Good girl. Onto the next!
-And off to a different burrow!-
-From this burrow, a Yungoos leaps in the direction of Jason's face-

(Late in the evening, Culverton, having mostly finished work for the day, has headed over here. Taking a seat a fair distance from the checkout, he can be seen gazing idly at a Pokeball held in his hand.)

-Joseph is staring at the options, saying somewhat loudly-
Joseph: What's a malasada?
-well, he is technically a tourist-
Verdant Cavern
-Yungoos to the face!-
Jason:Gyah!
-Flaaaaaail-
AAAAAAAAAA-
Doxon:<Ahem.>
-The Sylveon jumps up and Bites the mon to get it off of Jason's face-
<Off. The trainer. I'm the one allowed face hugs, mister!>

(The green-haired man who just happens to have been sitting directly opposite Joseph chuckles at the question.)
Culverton: Why, in this age of instantaneous Internet access, couldn't you have simply looked that up beforehand?

Joseph: My phone's on charge back in my room and I was hungry! Sue me!
-he shakes his head-
Joseph: Sorry, sorry.

(Culverton chuckles.)
Culverton: No need to apologise! I've heard many a tourist ask far stupider questions than that.
(He proceeds to make an intentionally amorphous shape with his hands as he ponders how best to explain what a malasada is. As he does this, the Pokeball he was holding clatters to the ground, releasing a Sylveon who immediately glances nervously around her.)
Culverton: ...I'm sure you know what a doughnut is. Well, imagine that, but without the hole. There! Malasadas in a nutshell.

-Joseph nod nods-
Joseph: OK! I'll-
-he spies the Sylveon and barely restrains a squee-
-The Yungoos is bitten off-
Yungoos: <I can do what I want, fox boy!>
-He tries to Tackle Doxon-

(Culverton tilts his head.)
Culverton: You'll what, exactly?
(The Sylveon, perceptive enough to realise she's the reason Joseph got distracted, looks even more nervous.)
Piper: <W-who are you? Why are you looking at me like that?>
Tastes better on the way back down.Hau'oli Malasada Shop
Joseph: I'll get malasadas once I pay attention to your sweet Sylveon! What's her name?
Hau'oli Malasada Shop
Culverton: Oh, that's Piper! I wouldn't make any sudden movements around her, she has a problem with nerves.
(Ironically, Piper looks a bit more relaxed as Culverton says this.)
Piper: <Oh... "sweet Sylveon"... that doesn't sound like someone who wants to hurt me...>

Joseph: Oh, you are just a darling!

(Piper perks up even more.)
Piper: <Oh wow! Y-you're really kind, mister!>
(Culverton chuckles, assuming Piper is simply enjoying the praise rather than outright conversing with Joe.)
Culverton: Well, it looks like Piper's making a new friend today!

-Doxon is tackled-
Doxon:<Oh do you now?>
-Fires off a point blank Moonblast-
<Because I happen to think otherwise.> >=3

Joseph: Yep! I love mons, and I love talking to them! One second.
-a moment later, he returns with malasadas (malasadae?)-
Joseph: So, who are you?
-The Yungoos is unable to respond, knocked out and back into his burrow by the Moonblast-

(Culverton airily waves a gloved hand in the air.)
Culverton: Culverton Blake. Vice-President, Mergers and Acquisitions, Best Berry Company. You may well have spotted our logo adhered to the fruits you buy?
(Piper waves her ribbons hungrily in the direction of the malasadas.)
Culverton: Oh, and by the way - none for me, thank you. I'm here to treat my Pokemon.

Jason:Dox...
Doxon:<Yeeeees~?>
:3c
-Beat-
-Sigh-
Jason:...never mind.
-Petpet-
Just...go easier on them...I keep forgetting you're one of my stronger ones ^_^;
Doxon:<Fiiiiiiiine~>

-He's returned and Jason moves onto the third Burrow-
-The Yungoos is struck by the whimsical wind-
Yungoos: <Ngh...>
-They then rush at Ceres with a Tackle-
