Lumiose City, Pokemon Center
Center Nurse: Hmhm, looks like your paperwork checks out. Now, do you have any pre-existing pokemon to declare as part of your team for this challenge?
Me: -Shakes his head- Nope, starting fresh.
Center Nurse: Well then, just pop on down to the Lab and they should have the starter selection ready for you.
Me: Thank you madame. -Takes his old Unova Trainer card and his new Kalos one off the counter and heads for the door-
Center Nurse: No problem, we hope to see you again soon!

Me: Well, time to get this challenge started...

Ellen: I've been to hell and back. I'd say that counts for something.
-She looks the other way at the ghostly figure-
Ellen: Nice to see you again, Des.

"Studying new Pokémon and the new Fairy type." said Hikari, adjusting her glasses.
Aquacorde
Maggie: "Hm... Like you can heal your Pokemon and sleep there, or just heal your Pokemon?"

-Crewe glances over at him, raising an eyebrow-
You'd think this would be way more fun considering how often people go on cruises and stuff.

"Heh. I guess so. Fun times for all, eh?"
He smiles a bit.
<Lilac: "Hey boss, the people are moving around now."
"Oh?"
<Lilac: "Yeah. They're starting to spread out.">
"Really? Damnation. Excuse me, but I must depart. It has been a pleasure."
He steps back into some shadows, and vanishes.
Route 4
Rawst:I see. Well, I guess that makes sense, since you're with PEFE.
Lumiose City - Outside
Valorie responded with an uninspired. "I guess..!" before quickly continuing. "I was actually thinking it looks more... old, like it's been around for a long time." she mused out loud.

Wobble, wobble, click!
Jim: Alright! Now, what is this...?
-he sends her out-
Flabebe: ...
Jim: ...okay. That's not...creepy. Not at all.
-he sizes her up-
Well, you're orange. How about I call you Marigold?
Marigold: <I...am grateful...grapefruit.>
Joseph: ...alrighty then!
Another green world.Boat to Kalos
Herbert: Yeah, I know. Still, it beats going by plane. At least we get some fresh air on a boat.
-He looks back over the sea.-
Herbert: ...You'd laugh at me if I told you that I can't swim, right?

Sparkers puts his nose to air. He seems to pick up a scent so he decides to follow it, taking Val with him.
<Could it be….>
He encounters Pent.
<Pent! Good to see you!>

Jacob: -Looks at his holo-caster-
I'm not sure whether to feel like you're annoyed or impassive about it, so I'm just going to go ahead and take that as an "Okay then".
From: Jacob
-To Rawst- "Yeah, and I'm helping! I'm taking the League Challenge here with only Fairies to help assess the various species and their battle capabilities! Also because I'd like to join PEFE."
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."I'm On A Boat!
-Crewe snickers-
Absolutely. What, you can buy a small country, but couldn't afford swim lessons?
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Aquacorde
-To Maggie-
I've got no idea to be honest.
Aaron: <There doesn't exactly seem to be a lot to do here.>

-Herbert shrugs at Crewe.-
Herbert: Hey, I'm not that rich. Old money only lasts for so long, after all. And swimming lessons seemed kind of unnecessary when a quick dip in a paddling pool is a good recipe for hypothermia in Sinnoh for most of the year. It seems like a much more useful skill now that there's nothing but water for miles in every direction, of course.

-Pettings ensue-
How are things?

-elsewhere on the Route, a Ralts waddles over-
<Hey, mister! Do you wanna fight?>
Jim: ...what did she say, Joe?
Joseph: She asked if you wanted to fight. You might want to catch her, though...
Jim: If you say so...
-he tosses a Pokeball. The Ralts bursts out immediately-
Ralts: <Nuh uh! You gotta try harder!>
-Jim does. Twenty balls later...-
-Ralts was caught!-
-he sends her out-
Erm. So, you're a Ralts? I...think you're a Fairy now? I'm not sure.
Ralts: <Yep! But that'll change once I become a strong Gallade!>
Joseph: Erm...about that...

Maggie: "Hm... Then should we try heading to the next town or something? As far as I know, you, DS, and I are the only ones here."

He gestures to the little girl on his back.
<This is my new trainer, Valorie.>

Valorie just sort of looks down at Pent from her seat riding atop Sparkers, offering an awkward wave. Was she the only one who didn't understand Pokemon..?

Bah. Heated pools are a thing.
-she looks at the ocean thoughtfully-
Hm... Would throwing you overboard count as a swimming lesson?

"You two are going to be such a great team for this." said Sakura, to Jacob and Hikari
"Well, it's good to have an assistant!" said Hikari
Teishi was still sleeping.

-To DS-
It's likely.
-To Maggie-
No, but there's a building here that serves the same purpose.

You're like the third (I'm counting Crewe by proxy) person who's asked me that question in the past month. Well, the PEFE can always use another researcher.
