Parfum

Caliburn and Colt wolf-whistled in perfect unison. “Fancy,” Colt summarized. “But is there substance to this place?” He asked, approaching but not touching the statues.

Molloy Residence

Sholto notes the annoyance and gets out a piece of paper.

Sholto: "Yup, I got a warrant."

Parfum Palace

Yunwa looks at Colt.

Yunwa: "Substance? What do you mean by that?"

Parfum

"I mean, is there a reason this place exists or is it mostly just an opportunity for the place's owners to rub in how much richer they are than others?" He reasoned, sizing up the statues.

Northern Driftveil -> Towards The Clay Cave:

"Good, because I'm not turning back for anything until we're done exploring this cave," Mark bluntly told Hajime. After several minutes of not having anything to say as he slowly made his way toward the Clay Cave Entrance, Mark would eventually ask, "Just out of curiosity, what are you planning to do after we're done dealing with all these pokemon swarms?"

Bowling Alley

-Jessica swings back, runs, and rolls the ball.-

Jessica: "And...another strike for me! That's a [turkey]!"

Shaun: "I thought you've never been bowling?"

Jessica: "I haven't."

-Shaun headdesks the table.-

Isbrand: "Watch the pizza."

-She slides her plate away.-

Kaiiseii: "Don't get too cocky, mama, I have two strikes too."

Shaun: "Seriously what did I contribute to you?"

Isbrand: "His twink physique."

Shaun: "Hey I don't have a twink physique."

Jessica: "No, you have the physique of a twink who lifts. Kaiiseii got the twink physique and Issy got the "lifts" part."

Isbrand: "And no, there is not a third kid who got your pudge, mother."

-Jessica crosses her arms and makes this face.-

Kaiiseii: "Strike!"

-Shaun just...slides down his seat.-

Clay Tunnel

Hajime: "Hm... Maybe head to Lumiose. It sounds nice and apparently some of the team are there."

Parfum Palace

Yunwa: "I dunno. I like looking at it, though."

A short distance away, when the bridge meets some grass, there's a Sentret looking around. He has teal fur that looks like it was dyed.

Lumiose

-a Magmortar and a Gallade with a slightly awkward gait are walking down the street, and may be approached-

Liberty: <Well, gee, I mean you know, that's a tall order, ol' buddy.>

Hale: <Howso.>

Liberty: <We haven't exactly "trained" hard in at least a few years. And what would she think, you know?>

Hale: <ThattobetterassistinJ-Teamendeavorsthataffectus.Whicharebecomingmorecommon.Ourteamshouldbestronger.Simple.>

Liberty: -makes a noncommittal noise as he coughs out some smoke- <Always so sure of yourself, Hale. Heh...>

Hale: <Wesharedheadspaceforoveradecade.IknowhowChannahthinks.Ifnothingelse.>

"Sure, it's pretty, but-"

Mindscape

"Do you really need to hold onto a single standard for beauty?" Ambition spat at the picture of the horizon from Skyarrow Bridge being the one thing associated with beauty.

Parfum

"Th- this is fine. A little overly grandiose, but still pleasing."

Caliburn, lacking standards for beauty, just looked around and soon saw the teal Sentret. He approached it behind his trainer's back.

Lumiose City

Lucas is currently walking down Lumiose streets, apparently in an heated debate with his rotom, who is currently possessing his Pokedex.

Rotor <- what do you mean you won't let me plug into Lumiose tower to charge.->

Lucas- Don't try to pull that one on me, you know very well that I know that you'll try to possess anything you can get your mind into an an attempt for more power.

Rotor spots the two Mon's talking to each other

Rotor<- What's wrong with a little optimization of technology, I mean if you humans could use it correctly i wouldn't be trying to use it better. look I'll ask them what they think->

Rotor approaches them with Lucas following behind.

Rotor<- you two, quick question which would be better for Optimizing the world, Humans, or us Pokemon?->

Lumiose

Hale: -instantly- <Toovague.Define'optimize'.>

Liberty: <Hmmm? I'd say humans.> -waves an arm at the city surrounding them- <I could never build all that!>

Lumiose

Rotor<- well Optimizing is the art of making the best use of whatever resources one would have for the moment. I believe that i could do it better than humans. As for you, i suppose your right, no pokemon i know of would be able to make this. Still ask yourself is this really the best use of resources?->

Lucas is currently waiting on Rotor.

Lumiose

Hale: <Stilltoovague.Inanycase.IdisagreewiththenotionthatPokémonexistforoptimizationofanythingbuttheartofwar.> -shrugs- <Wearemadeforbattling.>

Liberty: <Eh, what do I know, I guess humans wouldn't be as successful without us! What's this for, anyhoo? Are we being interviewed? 'Cause I don't do television appearances without makeup. Cameras make it look like I put on twenty pounds, you see.>

Lumiose

Rotor sinks down a bit, clearly disappointed that they didn't agree with him.

Rotor<- No, i was trying to prove a point to that guy over there. I guess that not everyone shares the same brilliant mindset as I do.->

Lucas- So they disagreed with you?

Rotor looked at his trainer

Rotor<-Sadly they did. However one of them did admit that your kind would not have gotten things done like this if it weren't for us. So I take that as a win for me.->

Lucas just groaned at this,

Lumiose

Liberty: <But of course! Teamwork is wonderful! Usually.>

-Channah walks over-

Channah: Uh, whatcha guys doin?

Hale: <Apparentlybeingusedtosettleanargument.>

Channah: Great. -blinks at Rotor and Lucas- You picked some bad mons to defer to, then. Who uh, are you guys?

Lumiose

Lucas and Rotor looked Channah.

Lucas- I'm Luke, and this is-

Rotor<- And I'm Rotor, the smartest Rotom you'll ever meet!->

Lumiose

Channah: Er. Okay. I'm Channah, this is Liberty -points to the Magmortar- and Hale. -points to the Gallade- Uh... Hey, you haven't seen any Blazikens around, have you?

Lumiose

Lucas- No i haven't, why do you ask?

Lumiose

Channah: Eh. Friend's Pokémon was stolen by some dumbass.

Liberty: -shakes his head- <The wealthy these days.>

Channah: Someone really wants an ass-kicking I guess. -snorts- Anyway. Uh. Yeah. Might wanna keep your Pokémon away from, like, rich people around here.

The Memory Vault

The Scribe: It should slow more than bullets. I should slow anything moving fast enough respective to you.

The Lorekeeper: Except the ground. Doesn't work on that.

-The lift's doors open up again.-

The Lorekeeper: For...

-He glances at Renard.-

The Lorekeeper: Everyone's sake, we will not bother giving the Frozen King a visit on the way down. But that does mean this is the last stop before we hit the Criminal's domain. Well, you hit the Criminal's domain. I'm not that good in a fight, so I'll stay up here. I can talk to anyone anywhere in this mind, after all.

-The Scribe rolls his eyes, as if that one fact has caused a great deal of irritation in the past.-

Lumiose

Lucas- Well, maybe we can help you find your friends Pokemon. Partly because people who steal pokemon normally should be stopped before they get too many pokemon, and Partly because that well the right thing to do is to help.

Lumiose

Channah: Um. Those are good reasons, yeah...

Hale: -looks skeptically at Lucas- <Justwhatweneed.>

Channah: Don't you uh, have a League to challenge or something, though?

Lumiose

Lucas shrugs his shoulders.

Lucas- Actually, yeah but it can wait, it's not like they're going anywhere. But if you don't want me to help, I'll just continue on my way, it's your choice really.

Ren: -knowingly, to the Genre Savvy Lorekeeper- You say that like you've already checked on him as soon we reported Dune missing.

-Ren stops before boarding the lift.-

Ren: Might as well go ahead and set my weapons and armor. The more the rest of these guys know what I can do, the better. Wand.

-Ren disperses the Psycho Rod, then swings his right arm, the Lavis Cannon appearing again as he calls out the weapon type.-

Rod.

-Holding the Lavis Cannon vertically, the Psycho Wand replaces the Lavis Cannon.-

Katana.

-Holding the Psycho Wand horizontally in both hands it reforms into the Dio Sigalga V2◊ before...-

Bullet Bow.

-... Reforming into the Crater Dart◊ as Ren takes a drawing stance until...-

Talis.

-... It reforms into the Ray Talis◊ as Ren crosses his left arm over his chest before finally...-

Gunslash.

-Ren makes a diagonal slicing motion with his right arm as the Ray Talis disperses from Ren's left hand and reforms as the Sarharling V2◊ in his right hand.-

-As the gunslash disperses, the green portions of Ren's armor change color as he calls out elements, granting him defensive typing.-

Diga.

-The green changes to an earthy-brown, granting Ren's armor Ground/Rock-typing-

Grants.

-The brown changes to white, grating the armor Normal/Fairy properties.-

Megid.

-The white changes to a deep purple, granting the tux Dark/Psychic properties.-

And Foie.

-The purple changes to a vibrant red, granting the suit Fire-type properties.-

Default.

-The red changes back to the green and the Lavis Cannon once again appears in Ren's hand as he boards the lift before turning to face the aspects.-

Ren: -to Scribe and Lorekeeper- Good lucking holding down the fort and thanks for your help.

Lumiose

Channah: Right, well -

Liberty: <Aw, he seems like a good kid! What harm would it do?>

Channah: Eh. Okay, sure. You can uh... help me out if I need to do anything specific. Which I doubt, but whatever. And the longer you stay away from the League, the better, really.

Lumiose

He appears a genuinely confused.

Lucas- Why should I stay away from the league? Is something wrong?
