Shalour City
Pakhet: -Sads as her cookie bag is slashed open- <Three Colon>
Montu looks down at Tungvikt and punches his open palm.
Montu: <You want to fight the "Tequila Mockingbird" now, do you punk?>
Pakhet notices the strife building between the two fighter birds and quickly telepor's in-between the two.
Pakhet: <NOOO FIGHTING~>
Montu: Aww :(
Meanwhile, Pippi giggles at Crowley.
Pippi: Well what do ya' know? I'm a fashion designer by trade, so while your work may be a bit.. exuberant (at least this side of Mardi Gras) I can acknowledge good craftsmanship when I see it~
Meanwhile, Pippi's Whimsicott has climbed her way onto Crowley's unoccupied shoulder.
Patsy: <Oooh~ Swanky!>
Fool and her companion do come across Tagg along their walk.
Fool: Is that you Tagg? Well I'll be, Fancy seeing you here dear~
Man: Oh? You know this man Mademoiselle Solana?
Fool: Oh, I best properly introduce you two. Tagg, this is the friend I mentioned back in Lumiose, Constantin Perilloux. He was my guide back when I first came to Kalos around a year ago.
Constantin, this is my boyfriend. You may call him Tagg~
Constantin raises both of his eyebrows in surprise.
Braviary: <Huh. What a coinkidink.>
Rotom-W: -From the top of the Braviary's Head- < It seems that this day has taken an interesting turn of events...
...Weeeeeessssleeeeey>

-Samantha nods-
Keep in mind that while you can call me Sammy, I won't call you Herbie.
Mort: <Well...Miss Margaret was teaching me how to read, and I went into the library and found these...I think they're comic books, but all the characters have big shiny eyes. Anyway, that's what they call people they look up to.>
Why do I get the feeling this isn't going to go too well?
-Goes for a handshake-
Nice to meet you.
Aaron: -To the Braviary and Wash Rotom duo- <Wait, where do you know my trainer from?>
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Shalour
Sparkers ponders for a minute.
<Marin, my last trainer emphasised trust and faith over everythin'. If you have faith in them they will reciprocate. They won't just trust you on principle. They need a reason to.>
He gives her a comforting nuzzle.
<I could talk to them if you like. Hell they could have a playdate with my team!>
GIVE ME YOUR FACEShalour City
-Herbert goes slightly red.-
Herbert: ...Right, yeah, that might have been expecting a little too much. Probably worth waiting for you to start using contractions on a regular basis before expecting that kind of intimacy. Uh, wait, no, there's got to be a less suggestive word for that concept... familiarity! That's it.
-Bishop blinks at Mort and tilts his head, but then gives a small smile.-
Bishop: <...Ah, I see. I think.>
-He chuckles slightly.-
Bishop: <Not that I mind, of course. It's quite flattering, in a way. I was just unfamiliar with what the term of address actually meant.>

Good thinking. I'll be right back.
-Morgan enters the town Pokemon Center and finds a stall to change in.-
-About 10 minutes later she comes back out. She's wearing denim overalls and sneakers. Her long red hair is tied into Girlish Pigtails and covered with a pink cap.-
So, where to next?
Shalour City
Rotom-W: < We don't know anything about your trainer outside of the fact he's the boyfriend of our Trainer's unrequited cruuush. Weeeeesleeeeey.>
Braviary: <He calls everyone Wesley. I don't know why.>
Constantin shakes Taggs hand.
Constantin: Pleasure to meet your, erm, Monsieur Tagg. I must say, you're a pretty lucky man to have Mademoiselle Solana here as a partner. How ever did you two meet?
Rotom-W: < Implication: He is totally out of her leeeaaauge.>
Braviary: <Washington, you don't need to go Captain Obvious on us.>
Rotom-W Washington: < But that is how I roll, Lafayette, or should I say Weeeesleeeey.>
Braviary Lafayette: <I seriously don't know where you picked that up from.>

Tungvikt: <SHUT UP, BABY FIRE FOX! FIGHTING IS GOOD FOR SOUL!>
(Svavel edges away slowly.)
Crowley: Aha, so we're kindred spirits? (claps hands) Splendid, absolutely splendid!
(Dali gives Patsy a look so apathetic and detached, it wraps around the emotion scale to become intensely creepy.)
Tastes better on the way back down.Shalour City
Herbert: Well, you know, back when we first met you were saying things like "not that I would be opposed" rather that "not that I'd be opposed" like a normal person would. Um, not that I've been replaying our first meeting in my head or anything...
-He glances around, trying to find something which he can switch the subject to.-
Herbert: So, uh... how have you been in the eighteen hours or so it's been since we last bumped into each other?
Bishop: <I've been keeping fairly well. The last few days have been rather quiet, save for the surprise revelation that my trainer has managed to start dating again. How about you?>

Route 12
Valorie seemed to consider the offer. Have her pokemon help her train her pokemon..? What an awkward concept. She nodded in approval however. How bad could it be?
"That sounds nice~ Let's give it a try, I guess!" she replied, smiling knowingly at Sparkers. She reached into her satchel and produced her remaining pokeballs.
<...What's a 'play date'?> Dragonite asked curiously. Shu's ghostly voice couldn't restrain a quiet chuckle, but he declined to comment.
"It's just another word for having fun." she explained as she began releasing her pokemon. Dragonite just sort of puzzled over what just happened. Had Valorie just responded to a question she'd meant to ask Sparkers?
Haxorus, Flygon, Rex the tyrantrum, Eelektross and Mamoswine emerged. Valorie finally very hesitantly produced Charizard's ball, swallowing her angst and releasing the pseudo dragon. A sandstorm seemed to erupt in the immediate area out of the blue around them as Flygon eagerly flapped her wings at extremely fast speed. Most of Valorie's pokemon groaned in protest of the sudden and violent change of weather, Valorie herself trying desperately to shield her face.
"Flygon—No—Flygon!" she called out irritably.

Jessica quirked a brow at Morgan's choice of fashion in an amused manner. "...Well if you ain't the cutest thing." she light heartedly teased. "We'll 'ave ta' get you a hat somewhere! I reckon headin' east. You ready?" she asked, her tone encouraging.
I dropped out of school to become a pokemon master, but then they pulled me right back in to get my doctorate!Shalour City
Herbert: Erm, well, I... I was expecting to get totally rejected, kind of desperate, and can't say that I'm particularly picky. Not that I'm saying you aren't pretty or anything, of course - you are, in your own kind of way, it's just that it wasn't really the first thing on my mind at the time and... hey, do you reckon we could restart this conversation from a less awkward point?
-By this point his cheeks are a particularly vivid share of red. Meanwhile, Bishop gives Mort a rather curious look.-
Bishop: <Really? I seem to recall that he was seeing someone last time we met... perhaps I'm just misremembering, though.>
Shalour
Before the two fighting birds can duke it out. Pakhet brings out her wand and uses her telekenetic powers to pry the two away from each-other.
Pakhet: <Urgh, fighting type mons. Always so cocksure and violent.>
Patsy is oblivious to the Ninjasks' unnerving stares
Pippi: -Smiling- I guess we are cher.
Cleo: -Looking at the time- Hate to break up the atmosphere Pip, but Larry will be back in around 10 from his daytrip to Lumiose. We should head back to the hotel.
Pippi: Aww really? But I wanted to find out more of this guy's style! It's kooky, but so fascinating~
Cleo: -Shrugs- Talk all you like, just be wary of the time.
Pippi: -Rolling her eyes- 'Kay then, cher.
I'm having to learn to pay the priceTower of Mastery, Sunset
Cebu crawls her way towards the Tower, her leg bleeding furiously.
"Gotta get to the Tower... I'll be safe there..."
"Oh, sweet Celeste... You'll never be safe."
The moon, waxing gibbous in the sky, gently floats into position above the tower, coating the sandy path in a sickly light. A long shadow reaches towards Cebu, sickeningly familiar.
"Now, sister dearest... We really must catch up."

Wakka-wakka-wakka-wakka~Shalour City
Herbert: Uh... how about back to when we were talking about towers? Towers can't really be awkward, since, y'know, they're inanimate objects and all. Let me know if anything I say doesn't make sense, by the way, since I'm pretty sure that last sentence was just gibberish.
-Bishop taps his chin with a claw.-
Bishop: <I... can't actually recall. Clearly I'm getting forgetful in my old age. Regardless, I suppose it is largely irrelevant in the end. Relationships come and go, after all. The important thing is that we enjoy them whilst they last.>

-Herbert scratches the back of his neck and glances down at his feet.-
Herbert: Er... well, thing is, I used to have a friend named Sam. He and I were... pretty close. Um, not in that way, mind you, in case you're getting any ideas. Still, it'd feel kind of weird calling you "Sam", so... "Sammy" it is, I suppose.
-He looks back up at Samantha.-
Herbert: Incidentally, there are only two people who are allowed to call me "Herby". "Herbie" is alright, though - yes, there's a difference - and I got used to "Lucy" a long time ago.
-Bishop raises an eyebrow equivalent curiously at Mort.-
Bishop: <...Is there a reason why you keep calling me that, out of curiosity?>
