ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-Joseph wanders over to Sarah-

Oooh! Is he new?~

Hello you two.

-nodding at Diane- I'm glad someone appreciates the height of sartorial elegance.

Though I have request for Galvani and Skye. Would you two accompany me to an optometrist? I need to get my prescription checked and I'd also like for Galvani to get her eyes examined as a human.

Sam and company exist.

Phenac

(Alex notices Joseph. Joseph is promptly fixed with the sort of stare that would make Flutershy jealous.)

Phenac City

Istanbul/Constantinople turn around to briefly address Sveval.

Istanbul/Constantinople: <You know, he can't understand you>

Lawrence, however, stops anyway.

Lawrence: Tch. So easily agitated. -Pulls out his cigarette case once again- I've always pondered if it was a species thing with the Torchic line. Considering how Montu acts. Then again, biology has never been my forte.

Lawrence lights his cigarette and reclines on a nearby bench. Keeping a close eye on his dragons.

-Joseph jumps-

Eeep! Erm, I mean, sorry!

-he hides behind Sarah-

Phenac City

-Galvani blinks, not having expected that to be his reasoning.-

Galvani: <Oh, um... I guess?>

Phenac City

-Sarah giggles again and pulls Alex back up-

Sarah: I take it you're a fan of her?

-She looks over at Joseph-

Sarah: Yup, he's new. And from the looks of it, he already has a reason to stick around with us.

Diane: Oh, sure.

Skye: You could get your eyes checked as well... wearing Eskay's glasses all the time can't possibly be good for your eyesight...

Diane: Hey, they've worked for a year, they can't be that bad.

"Aha, that is but Mento, the bounciest of our little group," he chuckled. "Here is my son Sammy, and this is Twif," Solomon presented, taking out Twif's ball and releasing the Torterra from within, who grunted when he appeared.

The Litwick stood eerily to the left of Solomon, and just behind him, constantly staring...

Why did he glare at me like that? Meep!

Phenac

(But Alex is no longer listening.)

Alex: (turns to party) Come on. We're going ghostbusting.

(With that, Alex and co. depart the scene. Svavel bats away Lawrence's hand as he leaves. The other two 'mons wave to the others. But Alex himself is focused on only one thing, on the reason he came here in the first place:)

(Ivy's ghost.)

Night night.

-Nods at Skye and Galvani- Thank you. I found a place where walk-ins are welcome, though I made myself an appointment. It's this way.

-Ren walks slowly towards the optometrist. The one of the three ladies behind him might point out how Ren doesn't have a cane.-

Relic Forest

Duke takes a deep breath before talking.

"<Well then, I can sympathize with how you want to become stronger yourself and of course I respect just how much effort you put into helping your friends in times of need and the way you're frequently sarcastic I find rather amusing sometimes. You're quite stubborn and narrow-minded and, well, let's be honest, you can be rather unpleasant to be around sometimes. Also, you're quite frail even compared to most humans around your age, I've been raised to be strong since I was a kid so I have a slight dislike for weak people or mons, it's hardly something that I'd use to judge someone though, otherwise I'd dislike most humans out there, just a minor peeve of mine. All in all, I think you're a good person and I have a good deal of respect for you as well, you're a bit hard to deal with sometimes, but I think the same applies to Lyuri sometimes so don't take that too badly.>" explained Duke, being as open and honest as he could "<I... Think that's about it. At least nothing else comes into mind.>"

Phenac

Seishirou: <...Curse?>

Fuuma: <What kind of curse?>

Phenac City

Jason grinned,

"Quite the team youve got there!" Jason pulled his wand from thin air and spun it around, causing his Zoroark, Mana, to spout from the end. She turned to her trainer.

<Is there something wrong?> she questioned.

Phenac City

Galvani: <Oh, uh, alright. Wait a minute...>

-Galvani counts the number of sounds in Ren's step. One, two. One, two. There wasn't the normal *clack* of a cane anymore. Note that she did all of this while all she had to do was look and plainly see that Ren was not using a cane. She just felt like doing it the hard way.-

Galvani: <Did...>

-Galvani looks Ren up and down as she follows.-

Galvani: <Did... you get a cybernetic leg?>

Phenac City

Sarah: -sweatdrop- Erm, "ghostbusting" isn't a good word for it, I don't think...

Diane: All righty then!

Skye: -sweatdrops at Galvani's conclusion-

Relic Forest

-A somewhat relieved look starts to show through Herbert's ragged demeanour as he gives a small, weak smile, though he cocks an eyebrow at Duke nonetheless.-

Herbert: ...Good to hear. But even if you do view both of us in the same sort of light, that still doesn't explain why you trusted her at the drop of a hat but not me. Especially considering that she... urgh, who am I kidding, we both made things worse for you, in our own ways. Still. Point stands.

No, actually it was a swallowing half a bottle of divine medicine. Apparently, doing that healed the damaged muscles and bones in my leg though the scarring is still there. You should ask Dune for the full account, I was out cold at the time.

Phenac City

Galvani: <Oh.>

-Galvani seems disappointed that Ren did not, in fact, have a cybernetic leg.-

Phenac City

Diane: Aww, darn. Cyberlegs are cooler.

Skye: -sweatdrop x2-

Ren: No, Galvani. If it I had a cybernetic leg, you wouldn't let you put a rocket launcher in it. But yes they are cooler.

Relic Forest

"<Please do keep in mind that while we are good friends, I've been with Lyuri for entire years while we know each other for less than one. Once Lyuri unmasked herself and she broke down, I felt pity for her and a very small portion of my memories came into mind, I felt the urge to help her, I couldn't stand seeing her that way... And then you attacked her, I understand why you did that, but that didn't cause a very good impression I guess. It was more of a case of really bad timing.>" said Duke, with a sigh "<Me being much closer to Lyuri due to all the time we spent together and also the fact that we are dating probably made me recall her first than you. So I was able to trust her more easily.>"

Phenac City

Galvani: <But it'd be sooooo coooool!>

-Galvani appears to be in a lack-of-cybernetic-leg induced lamentation.-

Relic Forest

-Herbert harrumphs, evidently not happy with the explanation even if he is unable to fault it from a logical standpoint.-

Herbert: ...I guess you still want to see her again, huh. Even after all the shit she did. Fair enough. You're your own mon now, after all... I can't say I agree or even approve, but I'm not going to stop you, either.
