ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Outside

Noticing Herbet's agitation, Lawrence moves further to the side. Mitigating the stench of the cigarette smoke on Herbert. Even though the silence is hard and feels like it could be cut through with a knife, Lawrence remains Silent. He was never one to instigate conversation anyway, despite the itching burn to talk.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Ren: Well I don't know whether to be more surprised by my leg or of Professor Mesquite's knowledge of the J-Team. So I'll just ask where my clothes and things are.

Tec is extremely confused, she stares at Kyrie blinking before back to Sparkers confusion playing on her face while the rest of her attire screams 'Street Urchin'

One more life ruined, Who knows how many more to go.

Hi, Ammy! What've you been up to?

-meanwhile, Kyrie pats Sparkers-

Erm, yeah. Sorry bout that.

Phenac City

- Nods -

All right, then. We'll try to meet up tomorrow and head to Agate Village to purify her.

Last post for tonight.

Phenac City

' <It's ok. I like our evenings together. But we have to be careful. If either side hears tell of this then we'll both be toast.>

He tries (and fails) to protect himself from the rain by hiding behind her.

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Phenac City

-Herbert instinctively moves to hold Duke back, but stops himself and sighs.-

Herbert: ...Fine. If you ask me politely, then I'll take you to see her. I'll be keeping a close eye on the both of you, however.

Prof. Mesquite: Oh, Dune explained some of the more outlandish things the other day. And your effects are in the bin over there.

-She points to a white container on the other side of the room.-

Dune: What can I say? I accidentally let slip that Galvani is a girl.

Prof. Mesquite: He's terrible at keeping secrets, sometimes.

Selene: <We had to get your clothes off. They were drench and cold from the rain.>

-Kyrie grins-

It's okay, you know! It's only a little rain!

-she pulls out a blue and white umbrella and covers them both-

Phenac City

Duke lets out a small growl

"<... Can I please go see her and get out of the rain?>" he asked, seemingly restraining himself from attacking Herbert out of sheer annoyance.

Phenac City

Tec finally speaks up. “Uh what are you talking about?” she asks unable to understand Sparkers. Mint on the other hand has clued in and looks up at her trainer shaking her head. Stutter just sits on Tec's head blinking.

One more life ruined, Who knows how many more to go.

Phenac City

Sparkers grins as he gets under the umbrella.

<Well yeah but you're a human. Oh, I'd cover yourself for a second…>

He begins to shake himself off, spraying water everywhere.

Sparkers looks down at Mint.

<Oh. Hello again.>

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Phenac City

-Herbert gives a small sigh.-

Herbert: Duke, calm down, please. I'm not going to take you to her when you're acting like this. Arceus knows that's the last thing she needs right now...

-Kyrie doesn't move quickly enough, getting rather wet-

-she giggles happily-

It's fine!

Phenac City

Duke pretty much stops for a few minutes before taking a deep breath.

"<... Just let me get out of the rain already.>" he said, calmer, but still annoyed.

Phenac City

<Nice to see you again.> the now rather soaked Rattata says with a smile on her face. Tec on the other hand is still rather perplexed and looks between Kyrie and Sparkers unsure of herself.

One more life ruined, Who knows how many more to go.

Phenac City

-Herbert sighs again. For a second, he considers haranguing Duke about his manners again, but decides against it.-

Herbert: There's no point in holding him back any further, or he's just going to hate me even more... it's her he wants to see, not me. He just wants me out of his life... just like he always did...

-Wordlessly, he starts heading back towards the Center.-

Sparkers takes the Rattata and places him on his head, underneath the umbrella to keep him dry.

<Not a word about this, ok? This'll be our little secret.>

He looks back to Kyrie.

<Sorry, Anyways, where to tonight? I managed to bum a few bucks off of Tesse. She's been makin' a lot off her pictures so she was fine with it.>

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

-Kyrie thinks-

I dunno. What do you like to do when you're not seeking justice and such?

Phenac City

<Honestly? Sleepin' and eatin'. I think there's a restaurant somewhere that makes good steaks. Tesse, Sam and I found it after we fought a Heatran.>

Phenac Pokémon Center

Duke follows Herbert inside and they're instantly seen by Lyuri inside.

"... You know, standing in the rain like that is going to give a cold to both of you." said Lyuri, raising an eyebrow, she then looks at Duke "Uh... Hey Duke..." she said, rather insecure

Duke just stares at her for a few seconds

"<... There's some things I want to ask you about.>" said Duke.

"W-Well then... Ask away." said Lyuri, not very confident.

Hmm! I don't mind steak, but I doubt a few bucks could cover that.

I could foot the bill, of course, but you said you had some...

Phenac City

Sparkers thinks for a bit.

<I'll pay for you, you'll pay for me. Deal?>

He starts to lead her to the restaurant, probably taking Tec and Mint with them.

GIVE ME YOUR FACE

Phenac City

Tec smiles at the interaction between Sparkers and Mint before nodding her head “I'll be at the Pokémon Center when you decide to track me back down Mint...” she nods her head before wandering off with Stutter still sitting on her head.

Mint nods her head. <I won't tell a soul, unless it's a life or death situation for either of you.> she states.

-Herbert slumps down in a chair next to Duke and Lyuri. He does his best to look surly and aggressive, but it's quite obvious that his heart isn't in it.-

Herbert: Make it quick, you two. Remember, I'm doing this for his sake, not for yours.
