Courmarine City
Dratini!Valorie totally squeals as she realizes she is being chased and not exactly winning her little race. Cue Scooby Doo sound effects.
After several moments of trying to dodge the other she totally realizes that there are people eyeing her speculatively and finally just... freezes in her tracks. She was surrounded by humans.
Y'know, maybe fleeing through the town was an awful idea!
She turned and swallowed every ounce of muscle telling her this was an awful idea. She was a mighty dragon! Surely this couldn't go wrong! Valorie flung herself back at the eevee and used... struggle!

Tagg is blipped into Fool's room.
However, Fool herself is not awake. In fact, she and her Meowstic are dead asleep. Though judging by the tear stains on bed, on Sonny Jim's fur and down her cheeks it's quite obvious that she cried herself to sleep tonight.

Dratini!Valorie just sort of stopped flailing, twisting back upright and peering at Gygax. Was he not trying to hurt her?
<...I don't really want to fight!> she replied light-heartedly. <See—I'm actually a person... I mean a human.> she went onto explain rather awkwardly. <This is actually a really weird story...> she added after a moment, quirking a brow as she did so.

Dratini!Valorie became slightly flustered. <...I'm not—> she started somewhat hesitantly before being interrupted by a human voice. The tiny dratini looked up.
<O-Oh... you can understand me?> she asked, somewhat puzzled. Well that was convenient! <Well... Yeah... I was—I am—Sort of?> she started trying to explain rather poorly.

Dratini!Valorie backed up slightly as Pent sat down, only to slither on down next to him and curl into a little ball. It was the most comfortable thing she could do.
"Well... My name was Valorie—Valorie Ryder. I was a girl, and a pokemon trainer, and..." she began, suddenly realizing it was more difficult to answer the question than she'd originally thought.

Dratini!Valorie lazily laid head head upon her own tail, fin ears twitching subtly at distant noises. Hopefully anyone nearby would assume she was with Pent and leave her alone.
<Well... I don't actually know.> she replied, not entirely thrilled with her explanation. <It just... started happening one day and I can't control it.> she went on.

Dratini!Valorie picked up her head slightly as she is pet, peering at Pent searchingly for a long moment. It certainly felt weird, but not bad! She shifted a bit closer to Pent.
"T-Thanks... Have we met before?" she asked, an itching feeling in the back of her head telling her they had.

Dratini!Valorie seemed to consider this for a moment. "Yeah... I know what you mean. Sometimes people try to catch me when I'm like this, so I've just kind of been hiding when it happens." she mused out loud.
"...Why'd I have to turn into such a rare pokemon?" she bemoaned lamely.

Dratini!Valorie peered up at Pent searchingly. We? Who was... we? Such an odd jump in his train of thought! "...Really?" she asked, her tone surprised. "You'll help me?" she continued, trying to gauge his motive. The last random human she'd run into had offered her no comfort.

The door to a familiar house flings open as the shadow figure of Constantin enters his home. He turns on the light low and hangs his jacket up on the coat-rack, before leaning against the wall, pinching the bridge of his nose with a smirk.
Soon, Constantin breaks into downright sadistic chuckling and laughter. His Pokemon shudder and cower as his laughter echoes through the halls.
Lafayette: <Oh no...>
Washington: < I wonder what poor soul Wesley was playing mind games with this time...>
Constantin continues laughing as he walks down the hall, before calming down as he sits down on the couch by the fireplace.
Constantin: Monsieur Tagg has such a fractured psyche~ Such a delicate mind~ I wonder how long it will take to break him~ Kahina!
Constantin snaps his fingers. A Medicham comes running in holding a coffee pot and a mug.
Constantin: -Pouring himself a cup of coffee- Thank you for your kindness, Kahina.
Kahina: ....
Constantin places the coffee pot on the table and takes a sip of his coffee. Intently watching the flickering of the fire in the fireplace.
Constantin: BAH! He's weak, I can't stand weakness. At the very least, he'll be a fun plaything. But the most important thing is is that, most likely, Solana will be free for the taking~
Constantin giggles, this time his voice is not laced with sadistic glee as his previous tone.
Constantin: Oh happy day when she'll be curling up in my arms, whispering that she loves me~ Him nowhere in sight~ A picture perfect dream if there ever was one.

Dratini!Valorie is pulled into the other's lap and hugged! If she could've blushed, she probably would've. Instead she wriggled around a bit and just sort of wrapped around the offending arms in an idle attempt at hugging back, content to lazily lay there in Pent's grasp.
<It... It's nice that someone understands me.> she replied rather quietly, quite pleased with the sentiment. It was like this was karma for Crewe's reaction or something. She decidedly liked this boy.

Tower of Mastery
Constantin raises one hand and effortlessly holds Kamella in place, before flinging her away with much force.
Constantin: You're Pokemon should be more disciplined than that Monsieur Tagg. It seems you lack the skills to be a proper trainer like just you lack the skills to be a proper partner. Such is life.
Constantin continues on his way.
