☆ ☆【The battle was really starting to heat up now… At least two Pokemon on Roxas’ team were down already, while Bastien’s only casualty thus far was Sawa after that brutal takedown from Cypher. Bastien spoke up, telling the blonde that her team was really giving him problems with so many powerful moves and status afflictions as he sent out Suite against Zelda. Roxas responded in kind, saying that he was still hanging on despite the problems her team was causing for him, and that it was kind of annoying. Chrysa couldn’t help but smirk a little, noticing that Roxas didn’t seem the least bit annoyed despite her commentary. Amaterasu gave a small smile towards Rave, flattening her ears a little as the Noibat thanked her for the confidence, but she hadn’t done as well as she had hoped in that battle. She had barely gotten in her Supersonic before Bita knocked her out with Rollout, and even then it didn’t matter because Bastien had switched out the confused Chespin and sent out his Jigglypuff instead. Nonetheless, the battle commenced as Bastien commanded Suite to do what she did best. Thank Arceus that Chrysa had reacted in time, having gotten a sense well ahead of it that Suite was going to sing or something. Thankfully it wasn’t as loud as it could have been, otherwise just about everyone around them would’ve dropped where they stood and been snoozing in the middle of the street. Even Roxas started to look a bit on the drowsy side from the effects of Suite’s song. Amaterasu felt her eyelids start to grow heavy, as did Regina and Ryouichi as they tried to fight off the effects of the fatigue that had suddenly come over them. Uncovering her ears, Chrysa watched as Suite then delivered a devastating Mega Kick to the sleeping Fennekin, the impact of the blow enough to jar everyone else from their slight drowsiness. Amaterasu blinked, shaking her head as she wondered why she had felt so fatigued a moment ago, but turned her attention back towards the battle and flinched as Suite smashed Zelda with a Mega Kick. Rave grimaced and looked away, saying that Roxas was going to be mad if they lost, since she was apparently one of those types who didn’t like looking weak in front of everyone. Ammy looked towards her sadly, flattening her ears again.” I’m sorry Rave…”the Fennekin growled softly in an apologetic tone, though she tried to change the subject by asking Rave if she had battled a lot before this one. She listened as the Noibat explained that she hadn’t battled that much at all, aside from a bit of training back in Santalune Forest. Rave didn’t understand why Roxas was so confident in them, and that she had made the decision to take on a random stranger when she hadn’t even trained most of her team that much. The Noibat did have a point, it was becoming clear that Roxas may have gotten in a bit over her head, since she apparently hadn’t counted on Bastien’s team being so strong. Still, it wasn’t like there was much that could be done, Bastien clearly wasn’t going to hold back anytime soon, and Roxas was determined to hang on until the end from the looks of it. She nodded slightly as Rave went on to say that she really felt bad for disappointing Roxas, but she supposed that it wasn’t any real surprise since Cypher was the only real weapon they had.” Well… If you ask me, battling isn’t all about winning and trying to be better than your opponent… It’s a learning experience, if you do good, then that’s great, if you mess up, you learn from those mistakes and use them as a means to improve yourself and your team,”the Fennekin spoke up, trying to conjure up some sort of wisdom or something to help ease atmosphere a little,” I guess I can understand Roxas somewhat, losing isn’t exactly the best feeling in the world, but I’ll admit that you guys are really putting up quite the fight against Bastien’s team.”The Fennekin gave a soft smile, clearly trying to remain optimistic in spite of the circumstances presented to them as she pressed closer to Rave.” I know you’ll grow stronger someday, Rave~”she offered with a smile, gently patting Rave’s shoulder with her tail in a comforting gesture. Chrysa kept a close eye on the battle, chuckling softly as she shot a half-joking but somewhat serious comment towards Bastien about a bit of forewarning next time he decided to have Suite use Sing. She smiled amiably, flashing him a thumbs up as he apologized as her way of saying that it was all good. Glancing down towards the Noibat and Amaterasu in her lap, Chrysa gave a soft smile as she gently rubbed the neon-colored Noibat’s head with one hand and stroked her Fennekin’s fur with the other. The poor Noibat seemed to be sulking, likely because she felt that she had disappointed her trainer since she hadn’t been able to put up much of a fight against Bita, though Ammy was trying her best to provide a source of comfort for the little bat-like Pokemon. Turning her attention back towards the battle, Roxas seemed to be getting desperate as she tried to get Zelda to wake up, but to no avail. The Fennekin clearly wasn’t going to be waking up anytime soon. With no other option to turn to, Roxas was forced to switch Zelda out with Cypher, a move that Bastien had clearly been anticipating as he returned Suite. He then sent out Chatta to take her place, though the green-haired boy was quite surprised to find that his Scatterbug had seemingly evolved overnight into a Spewpa. Chrysa was quite surprised as well, though she frowned slightly when she noticed how nervous Chatta was, what with being surrounded by so many people. She couldn’t blame the little guy with how timid he was, though Bass was doing his best to prepare the Bug-type for battle as some people in the crowd began cheering on Roxas and Cypher. With Cypher now out on the field, the execution of Bastien’s new strategy could either win him the battle or cause the tables to be turned on him, considering that the Porygon Z was the most formidable of Roxas’ team. Yeesh, the redhead certainly hadn’t expected for the fight to be this intense, but she was almost on the edge of her seat in anticipation of how this would play out. It was clear that neither Bastien nor Roxas were going to back down anytime soon, both of them continuously competing in an epic battle of attrition to see who was going to cave first. It was almost like the times that Chrysa would watch her grandmother battle someone who thought it was a good idea to challenge the old woman. Irene was never one to hold back when it came to Pokemon battles, and she and her team would fight so hard and so relentlessly that they seemed almost merciless. Then again, Chrysa guessed that it was to be expected for the most part, her grandmother had told her many stories about how she had earned the title of Kalos Champion many moons ago. Still, even though Bastien was clearly winning overall, Roxas could easily turn things in her favor now that Cypher was back on the field if she played the right cards. Amaterasu had turned her attention back to the battlefield when she had heard Chatta’s name called out, the Fennekin smiling despite the look of shock and confusion when she saw that her Scatterbug friend now looked quite different from when she’d last seen him. Chatta was clearly quite nervous and feeling pressured, the Spewpa looking towards Amaterasu and Spice for support as he stood on the battlefield across from Cypher. Spice nodded towards Chatta, and Ammy flashed him a wide smile as she waved her tail at him.” You can do it, Chatta! I believe in you~”she cheered happily, wanting to provide whatever moral support for her friend that she was capable of.】☆ ☆

Roxas was a bit torn. On the one hand, she wanted a good battle so that she didn't get bored, but on the other hand, she was losing. She was losing quickly. Cypher was the only member on her team that had stuck it out for more than two rounds thus far, and that was embarrassing. Even if she somehow won this battle, she would still feel humiliated, because Bastien clearly had the better team here, he was better rounded, and he knew it judging by how determined he'd sounded when he insisted that he wasn't going to lose. Roxas held the sleeping Fennekin in her arms, unable to bear watching her little princess go down so harshly as the others had. She may as well have been counted out for the rest of the battle. Siren was out, so was Rave, that left Cypher and Aero, whom she hadn't even met officially, so he certainly wasn't battle ready. Dammit dammit DAMMIT....! Roxas' jaw clenched. She had gotten too far in over her head now. She should have just left Bastien alone, she should have trained her team more before challenging some random stranger.
Bastien unsurprisingly swapped out Suite, Roxas half expected that, but his next pokemon of choice was a Spewpa named Chatta. Rave gave Ammy a small smile for her encouragement, her words far wiser than her years. "Thanks Ammy... You're the best friend a Noibat could have~" Rave grinned, looking far more chipper now than she had earlier. The Noibat's attention was drawn back to the battle however as Bastien announced Chatta's name and send the Spewpa into battle. So this was Chatta huh? Rave cocked her head to one side curiously. The poor little guy looked awfully nervous, though she would be pretty scared too if she were facing Cypher. As Chatta glanced around, hopeful for encouragement other than from his trainer and teammates, Ammay called out her encouragement, and Rave gave a friendly smile, not wanting to root for him openly, since he was faceing her own team, but she didn't want to discourage him either, so a small smile was probably safe.
Cypher scanned the opponent before it, sending information to Roxas' pokedex to display on her headset. Chatta was a Spewpa, the evolved form of a Scatterbug. Roxas wasn't sure what Bass was planning, but she would try to just power through and go with the flow, which was honestly what she did best. "Alright Cypher, you know the drill. Zap Canon!" Roxas nodded. Cypher whirred, charging up another bolt of electrical energy and sending it flying towards Chatta. Hopefully this one could succumb to it's paralysis. "If you aren't going to lose, that's fine, but we sure as hell wont go down without a fight!" Roxas growled, standing her ground. So she had to rely on her glass cannon, Cypher was a damn good glass canon at least.
Roxas blinked in slight surprise as a murmur went up with people starting to chant for Cypher. She was losing, and all of her pokemon with the exception of Cypher had done horribly, why were people chanting for her? Well she supposed all crowds always cheered for the underdog. "Heh... You hear that Cypher? Looks like the crowd's on your side, so don't disappoint them okay?" Roxas grinned somewhat. Here she had found Cypher in a trash heap, but now it was the star of this battle. This scene gave new meaning to the phrase "one person's trash is another's treasure", and little did Roxas know that another robot was watching the battle quietly.

In a way, the crowd's cheering was nice motivation. They wanted the underdog to win... While Bastien had no problem with that, seeing as he also loved seeing big turnaround victories, this situation was different. For once, he wasn't the underdog. In fact, if Chatta pulled through and managed to slow down Cypher so that it couldn't get momentum, then his victory would be almost absolute. Bastien had to admit... That felt good. A small sense of pride began to swell in his chest; he'd pushed a tough trainer this far with his Pokemon. Underdog or not, Roxas was Bastien's smartest and strongest opponent yet. "So that's how it is, huh?" A wry smirk worked its way onto the green-haired trainer's face. "Give it everything you've got then!" Operation De-Cypher was about to commence!
"So that was today's prize, huh York? They have prizes every day if you go and sing?"
"Yeah. You didn't know that? Anyway, here's your cut. I'll be keeping the Trubbish--"
From behind the crowd, a familiar white-haired boy and his friends took notice of the ongoing battle. York had finished his business with the younger kids and was on his way to eat something... But upon realizing that Bastien was one of the people competing, the boy stopped and watched quietly.
"A-ah, hey, give us our cut! You promised!"
...Meanwhile, Chatta wasn't too pleased with the crowd. It seemed like they were all actively rooting against him. While this wasn't technically the case, the Spewpa couldn't help but take it personally. "I-I knew it. I'm no good. Even if I was stronger, they probably still wouldn't cheer for me..." Chatta hung his head, but a voice from behind him came as a surprise. It was Ammy! The Noibat next to her even smiled, regardless of her being unfamiliar. And not only that, but after Spice's nod, the Azurill began to shout.
"Don't even start with that crap, you little nerd!"
The words startled Chatta; eyes wide, he looked at his friend, wondering if he'd just gotten himself into trouble.
"Don't beat yourself up, that's their job! Just do the best you can!" Spice continued from Bastien's arms, doing her best to rouse up her friend's spirits. "Everyone on the team is out there with you. It doesn't matter if you're not strong enough to take that thing down! You've got a super secret talent that no one else has. Right?"
Chatta had to think about that. "A super secret talent... My super secret talent is..." Tilting his head a little, the Spewpa thought for a moment before turning back to Spice. "Is it choreography?"
"F-FIGURE IT OUT, STUPID!" Obviously, that was the wrong answer. "Sheesh, what even is that?" The Azurill sunk lower into Bastien's arms, sticking out her lip in a pouty manner. Chatta would figure it out... He'd have to if they wanted to win.
Speaking of which, the battle was already resuming. Cypher let loose another powerful bolt from its Zap Cannon at its trainer's command. Bastien, having expected this, took a defensive stance back and called to his Pokemon. "Chatta, brace yourself!" The Spewpa nodded nervously and did as he was told, curling up a little... But such a powerful attack easily made it through his guard. Chatta yelped, rolling back from the force of Cypher's attack. "Chatta!" Both Bastien and Spice feared for Chatta's safety, yelling to him as he quivered on the ground.
"D-did I... Lose?" Quietly and carefully, Chatta opened one eye. It seemed he was still conscious! Unable to determine if that was a good or a bad thing, he shuffled back upright and shook himself off. His fur shroud apparently managed to ward off some of the electricity; it was a little silly, actually, considering how it was now standing up on end. The Spewpa looked more like a puffball than a bullet-shaped bug. "Gwahhh! T-that hurt!" Cypher was right there across from him... Shaking himself, Chatta smoothed down his fur, causing a few colorful bits to flake off of him. "But... I'm okay... S-somehow."
Bastien was more than pleased. Grinning widely in astonishment, the young man did a little fist-pump in celebration. Spice was busily cheering in his other arm, sticking her tongue out at Cypher to mock it. "Yosha! Chatta, it's your turn. Let's knit Cypher a nice lil' sweater!" It was then that Chatta realized the talent that Spice was talking about. With his abilities, he could render Cypher almost immobile! Eyes glinting in realization, the tiny bug Pokemon shuffled forward. There was no time to waste if he was going to do his part!
"I'm not as strong as the others, or as fast..." Panting as he sped up, Chatta shot a bundle of thin wiry strings from underneath his shroud. The strings were sticky to the touch, and they were quite long... Long enough to reach Cypher where it was and wrap around the PorygonZ several times. "And I'm not the coolest looking Pokemon around, either... B-but my friends are counting on me! I need to do my part, or I'll never be able to forgive myself!" The faster Chatta ran circles around Cypher, the tighter his strings got. Bundles upon bundles began constricting the PorygonZ's movement, and with how sticky they all were, it would be a while before Cypher would be getting them off. "S-so forgive me, Mister Robot-thing, but I-I need you to hold still!" With Cypher sufficiently covered in his string, Chatta broke the connection with a twirl.
"Good! Amazing, Chatta! Follow up with Stun Spore, quick!" It actually worked. Bastien was hardly able to contain his excitement, an overflowing feeling of joy building up in him. Chatta seemed to take notice of the happiness in Bastien's voice, then; it warmed his tiny little bug heart. The encouragement brought the Spewpa enough motivation to move once again through the pain of his injuries, shaking his body frantically to release a cloud of powder. He intended to hinder Cypher's movement even more. This way, the others would have a fighting chance against Roxas' extremely powerful ace Pokemon.

☆ ☆【From the looks of it, Bastien clearly had the upper hand over his blonde-haired opponent, Chrysa wasn’t even certain of how trained Roxas’ team was at this point but she already had about three Pokemon down now. Having withdrawn Zelda after the Fennekin had been put to sleep and then smacked right in the face with a Mega Kick courtesy of Suite, Roxas quickly switched in Cypher once more. By far, it seemed like the Porygon 2 had been the only Pokemon on Roxas’ team that had dealt significant damage to Bastien’s, even though the only casualty on his side so far was Sawa after that brutal Zap Cannon-Psybeam combo. She could’ve sworn that she’d seen an inkling of uncertainty behind Roxas’ seemingly perpetual smug look, it was possible that she was starting to regret challenging Bastien in the first place since his team clearly had a fair upper hand above hers. Still, it looked like both sides were willing to keep going on until the end, and Chrysa couldn’t help but grin a bit at that. This was almost like watching one of those competitive battles that she liked watching on Hoenn’s battling network, and even if it wasn’t as impressive as those kind of matches, it was still quite intense! With Cypher now out, Bastien went for a new change in strategy as he sent out Chatta, who had managed to evolve into a Spewpa somewhere along the way. Amaterasu’s smile widened as Rave seemed to appreciate the Fennekin’s encouragement, the little fire fox trying to remain optimistic as always. She felt glad that her attempt at giving some words of wisdom helped somewhat, smiling and wagging her tail as Rave thanked her and said that she was the best friend a Noibat could have.” No problem, Rave~ Just doing my job as any good friend would do~”she responded back cheerfully with a toothy grin. Her attention went back towards the battle when she heard Chatta’s name called out by his trainer, the Fennekin quite surprised at first that the little Scatterbug she had met the other day had evolved into a fuzzy-looking thing called a Spewpa. The little guy sure seemed nervous, likely from the pressure of the crowd around them that was cheering on Cypher, and the fact that the Porygon Z was quite an intimidating opponent to go up against despite his quirky looks and behavior. As Chatta started looking around at the others gathered around for encouragement, Amaterasu happily cheered for him, even Rave offered a small smile of encouragement for him. Not that the Fennekin could blame her Noibat friend, knowing that it wouldn’t be the best idea to root for the team that were your opponents. Sure enough, even Spice began to offer a bit of pep talk to the Spewpa as she mentioned something about a ‘super secret talent’. Chatta seemed a bit uncertain about how to answer that statement, but there wasn’t much time to think about it as Roxas ordered Cypher to use Zap Cannon once again, stating that if Bastien wasn’t going to lose, she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. Bastien called out for Chatta to brace himself, and Chrysa felt herself wince a bit as the Spewpa was struck head-on with a beam of pure electricity. Ammy’s ears went up in alarm as the force of the strike sent Chatta rolling, worry in her eyes as Bastien and Spice yelled to him out of fear for his safety. As powerful as that Zap Cannon was, Chatta was thankfully still standing much to the relief of Bastien, Spice, and Amaterasu, though the paralysis that the attack had inflicted could be troublesome for the little guy. Nonetheless, the Fennekin smiled, wagging her tail and watched as Bastien ordered Chatta to knit Cypher a ‘nice little sweater’. Wasting no time, Chatta shuffled forwards towards the Porygon Z, running in circles around it while wrapping it with sticky webbing. Chrysa’s eyes glinted as realization dawned on her as to what Bastien was doing, he had sent out Chatta so that the Spewpa could attempt to slow down Cypher and allow his other Pokemon to stand a better chance against it. Well from the looks of it, it was working as Chatta finished restricting the Porygon Z’s movements with String Shot as he broke away and twirled back to his position. ” Heh, not bad! The little guy’s got some fancy footwork goin’ on there~” Chrysa commented with a grin, smile widening as Bastien praised the Spewpa’s handiwork and ordered Chatta to use Stun Spore next. With a combination of lowered speed and paralysis, Bastien could have an ace in the hole at this point. Chrysa couldn’t help but feel proud and happy for her friend, especially after hearing how excited he was that his plan was working. It seemed that the Bastien’s eagerness was helping to motivate Chatta as well, the little bug gathering the strength to fight off the worst of his paralysis and move towards Cypher again, firing off a burst of powder at the Porygon Z to paralyze it. At this rate, the battle would likely start winding to a close, unless Roxas had more Pokemon up her sleeve. Amaterasu’s eyes sparkled as she watched Chatta’s amazing display of skills, the Fennekin yipping happily as she bounced in her seat and wagged her tail.” You’re doing fabulous, Chatta~ Great job!”she cheered on, feeling happy that she was getting to see her friend in action. Despite that hard-hitting Zap Cannon attack, Chatta was still going on quite strongly and doing what he did best for the sake of his team. It was really quite impressive if she thought so herself, though his primary worry now would likely be if Cypher could break through its paralysis and fire off another attack. Even if he ended up fainting, at least his sacrifice wouldn’t be in vain, what he had done would be of immense help to the rest of his team.】☆ ☆

Roxas watched Chatta intently, the little bug seeming to have no confidence whatsoever, especially now that the crowd was rooting for Cypher, but the squeaky little Azurill quickly began to talk him back up again. Or... Well sort of. The Spewpa couldn't quite figure out what Spice meant by his 'super secret talent' and Spice seemed to give up, telling the Spewpa to just figure it out. The little exchange was amusing to say the least, but the time for pep talk was over, and even though Roxas was a bit reluctant to, Chatta needed to be taken out, so she commanded Cypher to use his Zap Cannon.
Chatta was knocked back in spite of Bastien's warning to brace himself, the little bug unable to defend himself against such a powerful attack. Chatta remained still, his fur sticking out in all directions, and Roxas briefly wondered if she'd killed the poor thing, but Chatta soon peeked out, opening a careful eye as he looked around, asking if he'd lost. Roxas gave a quiet chuckle, the Spewpa was quite durable, she would give him that, but surely he wouldn't last another round. Roxas prepared herself for whatever Chatta was going to throw. What was Baa planning? Why this little guy? She would soon find out as Bastien celebrated his minor victory in that Chatta had somehow survived the hit, and then moving on with his plan. He ordered the Spewpa to make Cypher a sweater, the Scatterbug seeming to finally sense his purpose, or the "secret weapon" that Spice had mentioned earlier.
With newfound confidence, the Spewpa bravely shuffled up to Cypher and shot out several sticky strings from beneath his fur, running in circles around the robot as he gave an oddly inspiring little speech. He demeaned himself, claiming that while he knew he wasn't as strong or fast as his teammates, he had his part to play too, and if he didn't at least try to help out his friends, he could never forgive himself. Roxas made no move to try and stop the bug, thus neither did Cypher, sitting perfectly still as the Spewpa had asked and watching the bug curiously as he worked with wide golden eyes. The bug finished his work, leaving Cypher rendered practically immobile, and thus Bass took the opportunity to follow up with a Stun Spore to seal the deal.
The little bug was just so happy to be of use, to benefit his team somehow, that was all the motivation he needed to keep moving in spite of the injuries and Paralysis that Cypher had inflicted. Roxas had never really known that feeling. She'd always worked alone, and been content to do it. She could never really rely on anyone but herself since she'd never really gotten along with anyone else. She'd only really known abandonment, and chose to prevent anyone from casting her out ever again by shutting everyone else out first. So, it was odd to see the opposite from Chatta, he knew his flaws and he accepted them, and yet in spite of possibly being the weakest member on his team, he was still so eager to help them. ".....Cypher, can you move at all? Roxas asked the robot. Cypher wobbled stiffly in the air to turn and glance at Roxas since it couldn't move it's neck. "I'm afraid not master Roxas. The strings restrict movement and the pollen is freezing up my joints.... I calculate a high probability that this is checkmate for us, metaphorically speaking of course." Roxas nodded gravely. She had felt it too several turns ago, they were unprepared and slowly being cornered into this very position, the forbidding feeling of a loss creeping up on them. Now Cypher was rendered immobile and likely Bas had a pokemon in mind that would soon come out to finish them off, perhaps Bita again or another pokemon she hadn't seen.
Roxas didn't like admitting defeat, but there wasn't much more they could do here, Cypher couldn't even put up a fight in his current state, and when he went down, that only left a sleeping Zelda and Aero, whom Roxas hadn only just caught not too long ago. "....Zeta then." Roxas said quietly, looking away reluctantly. "....Pardon?" Roxas gave Cypher a hard look that accused 'you heard me', and after staring at Roxas for a moment in what could have been taken as disbelief, the robot wobbled back to face it's opponent. "Critical system failure.... Hard drive shutting do0Oownnn......." Cypher fell to the ground with a loud CLANG, and Roxas returned Zelda to her pokeball so she could move forward and collect Cypher, tearing the sticky string away from it's body. "Smart move there, clogging up Cypher's filter with pollen and string." Roxas commended Bass and Chatta quietly. "You win, I'm done. Zelda wouldn't take much more to defeat and I don't have any other pokemon." That wasn't a complete lie, she may as well not have any other Pokemon; Aero wasn't going to stand a chance here. Once Cypher was cleaned up, Roxas returned him to his pokemball as well and whistled for Rave, who happily came fluttering over to perch on her shoulder.
"I figure since you've won, you should know the name of your challenger. My name is Roxas Noskovi." The crowd began to murmur excitedly. "That's Roxas?! Like.... THE Roxas Noskovi?!" These were Lumiose folk, of course they would know her name well. Roxas chuckled quietly to herself. "I just bought her latest album the other day! The one she made for that last Pokestar Film, what was it called, Timegate Travelers?! So cool! Think I could get her to autograph it...?""No wonder Cypher was so amazing.... I'd expect nothing less from a master programmer." Jeez, these people had nothing better to do with their lives than obsess over someone semi famous. Roxas sighed, deciding she'd better book it while she still could. "Hey, maybe I'll see you around again sometime. I want a rematch when I've trained the rest of my team, you hear?" She smirked, and with that, she made for the pokemon center so she could escape the crowd while she could and get her pokemon healed.
As she walked however, Roxas got the odd feeling that she was being followed. "Look, I don't do autographs or pictures, sorry, I'd rather just be left al--" She turned to look at what she presumed to be a fanatic fan pursuing her, but instead found a Golett. Roxas blinked in surprise. "Woah....." She couldn't help but feel giddy at the sight of another robotic pokemon in spite of the rather dirty condition it was in. The automaton stared up at her with it's somewhat sorrowful and glowing empty eyes, and when Roxas took a step away, it took a step closer, somewhat mimicking her movements as if to make a point of saying it planned to remain with her. Roxas took a few quick steps away, but the Golett followed once again, stopping at the same distance and looking up at her. Roxas looked intrigued. "Oh aright, you can stick around I suppose." Roxas smiled, turning back towards the Pokemon center. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up." The Golett made a short noise that seemed to exude happiness, quickly and eagerly following after her.

This was it. This was Bastien's big chance to seal the deal... But why did Roxas and Cypher seem so hesitant? He'd at least expected some sort of dramatic gasping or 'it can't be' to follow Chatta's attack, but Roxas was more than level-headed about it. The real shock came next when Cypher quite suddenly collapsed to the ground. Bastien eyed the PorygonZ, mouth slightly agape. Chatta and Spice appeared just as surprised. The Spewpa's hindrances had been enough to shut down Cypher... It seemed unbelievable. "Clogging up--" Feigning knowledge at what Roxas said about Cypher's filter, Bastien blushed and scratched his nose with a broad grin. "Y-yeah, well, of course! That was my plan right from the get-go, ha!" An obvious boast. Bastien really had no idea why... Deep down, though, he was proud. Proud of both himself and his Pokemon's excellent performances in the battle. Spice jumped for joy, leaping out of Bastien's arms and hopping over to Chatta. Chatta, still not quite understanding what was happening, looked dazed and confused.
Cutting through the crowd then, York approached his rival alongside his two younger flunkies. Glancing over at Roxas, he scoffed and gave Bastien no chance to react before slugging him in the arm. "You dumbass, why'd you go picking a fight with a celebrity?"
"H-huh? But--" It was clicking now. Bastien had just fought- and beaten- Roxas Noskovi, a highly skilled musician and hacker known for her work there in Lumiose, if not all across Kalos. Funny, Bastien had heard a lot about her and remembered seeing her on a poster or two before, but she seemed much more... Intimidating in person. Nodding meekly at Roxas as she declared that she wanted a rematch later on, Bastien kept himself as composed as he could. Now he looked even dumber! "O-of course! I'll look forward to it, Ms. Noskovi! Thank you for the battle!" He bowed his head like a dippy bird again, only to rise back up and find that she was gone. Now that things were taken care of and the crowd had mostly dispersed, Bastien turned to York and furrowed his brow. "And where'd you come from, anyway? How long were you watching?"
"Not long, no worries, Bassey. Your tactics though? Super annoying." Grinning as he shrugged his shoulders, York turned to his flunkies and split up some money for the two of them before shooing them away. "Go on, I'll catch up! This is a private moment between rivals!"
"Thanks, York!"
"Anyway, I got here right about the time your Spewpa started wrapping things up. Roxas obviously went easy on you!"
Bastien had thought the same thing, but a victory was a victory. Spice and Chatta looked up at York with curiosity, wondering who he was. It did seem odd to see him being so charitable, especially with money. "Yeaaah, I know. But I did better than you would have! Remember that we wiped the floor with you in--"
A swift hand shot in front of Bastien's face, urging him to stop. York used his other hand to hide his apparent shame, slapping his forehead as he turned away. "Don't!! Don't say it... I've got that memory locked away nice and deep." Clearing his throat, the outspoken white-haired boy retrieved a Pokeball from his bag. "Oh, but you should stop by the arcade and check the scores later. I snagged today's prize again. You've been slacking! Your name's almost at the bottom of the list! What, you gonna quit singing to hang out with girls all day?" It seemed he had taken notice of Chrysa; glancing at her with an accusing smirk, York nudged Bastien's shoulder. "Not that I blame ya. Here, I'm feelin extra generous today. You can have this sucky Pokemon that I got. Tomorrow's prize is sure to be better, though, so you'd best get in there and do your best. Otherwise I'm gonna keep winning until I'm famous like Roxas!" Striking a pose, York tossed the Pokeball to Bastien.
Bastien, who'd been unable to speak while York was blabbing his ears off, Frowned in a confused manner. "W-what's with you? Why do you want me to do karaoke with you so much?" York certainly was competitive... Although he was a jerk most of the time, he seemed to like nothing more than to rope Bastien into absurd scenarios and competitions just so he could beat him. Of course, often times this backfired, as Bastien was a pretty good singer and battler- and knitter, and baseball player, and cook, et cetera- and this was getting kind of old. "Is this a prank? Is glitter gonna pop out of it when I open this, or something?"
"Noooo, stupid, no! It's a gift! From rival to rival! I figure you could appreciate the hidden beauty in a trashy Pokemon like that thing. Or maybe not... I don't really care. I just don't want it!" Waving his arm in dismissal, York turned and began to leave. "That's the only handout you're getting. Sayonara, you filthy French Weeaboo!"
...Honestly, Bastien wasn't sure what to say in response to that. He instead turned to Chrysa and shrugged, deciding to toss out the ball and see what was inside. Lo and behold, York's trash statement wasn't far from the mark. It was a Trubbish, and it looked kind of... Dopey. It also appeared to be holding both a Lucky Egg and another Heartscale. Sheesh, why were those things popping up so frequently!? Sighing, the green-haired trainer retrieved the egg from his new Pokemon and let it keep the scale. He then looked off in the direction that York went before looking back at the Trubbish. "Well, I can't name you after a flavor or food or taste. That'd just be insulting." Bastien thought hard before grinning, rubbing his chin in a devious fashion. "I've got it!" He snapped his fingers and pointed at the Trubbish, who responded by releasing a tiny burp. "I'll name you... York Junior!" Spice almost immediately made a 'pffft' sound and began laughing uncontrollably, while Chatta was still busy looking around... The poor Spewpa still didn't know what was happening.
But, it was time to move on. Recalling Chatta and York Jr. back to their balls, Bastien scooped up Spice and turned to Chrysa. "Sorry about all that. That was York... Don't let him fool you, he can be a way bigger jerk than what we just saw. I think he was being nicer because you were here... That's a relief." He looked around, wondering what they should do next. "A-anyways, did you still wanna look around Lumiose a little? I promise I won't wander off again!" Arceus knew that the boy didn't want to repeat that same scenario all over again with a different stranger.

Entering the pokemon center, Roxas returned Rave to her pokeball so she could give Nurse Joy her wounded team and start restoring their health, in the meantime, she sat down in the main hall with an oil cloth and a special cleaning solution she usually wiped Cypher down with to try and wipe the grime off of Gamma. "I'm gonna wipe you down with this special oil okay? Water will just make you rust, and we don't want that." Roxas stated simply, spraying some of the solution into her oilcloth and working away at the automaton's joints. "Can you talk at all? I've got a communicator on me, so if you spoke in pokespeak, I'd still know what you were saying you know." Roxas glanced at the Golett briefly, but it sat perfectly still as Roxas wiped it down. "Guess I have to take that as a no then huh?" Roxas mused. The Golett shifted, glancing up at her, but remaining silent. "Hm.... Too bad, I'd like to know why you're covered in grime." She hoped this wasn't another Cypher case, an abandoned robot due to being incapable of speech, but this one seemed drawn to her somehow.
Roxas finished wiping the age encrusted dust out of the Golett's joints and stood. "Alright, go ahead and spin your arms around a bit, they should be able to move easier now. I'm gonna rinse this cloth off so we can work on the rest of you, so stay put." Roxas suggested, moving to the bathroom to use the sink. The Golett followed her though, swinging it's arms happily like a child. "Tch, look I said stay put, I'll be right...." Roxas sighed, figuring it couldn't really hurt. Plus the Golett was pretty cute, the way it seemed to admire her. Was she somehow famous among pokemon too? "Alright fine." She rinsed and dried her oilcloth then led Gamma back out to the waiting area of the center before wiping the rest of him down.
Her work finished, Roxas stood once again, admiring her work briefly before moving to the center's PC to check her mail. She was expecting a payment from a recent deal she had done, and sure enough, she had a few new notes, some of the newer ones were requests, for music, for her programming skills, all job offers, she would look at them later, for now her eye was set on the payment she was expecting. A small grin came on her face as she transferred the cash into her account, but it looked like her endeavors were also being rewarded with some rare goods. Out of the PC they went, materializing into a small container. One gift was a small egg shaped stone, she'd heard of these, they were called Lucky Eggs, and helped pokemon train faster. Well good, she would need that if she wanted to get stronger for her rematch with Bastien. The other two items were blue grey discs that Roxas immediately recognized, being a master programmer, she knew the ID code and color for every technical machine disc, the blue one was a TM #14, and it contained the secrets to the Ice type attack Blizzard, where as the grey was for the TM #27, Return. Grinning, Roxas moved to check in with Nurse Joy, Gamma following her close behind.
Her pokemon were healed, which was a relief, she thanked Nurse Joy and immediately released Siren, who quivered in Roxas' presence, curling up on herself and keeping her head low, her long ears flat. "Oh.... Oh it's time for my punishment now isn't it...... I'm so sorry! P-please be merciful with me, I-I didn't mean to faint so quickly! I'm so sorr-" Roxas stopped her. "Siren, you know I wouldn't lay a finger against you, now where the hell is this talk of punishment coming from?" Roxas demanded, but Siren kept her head hung low, shifting hesitantly. Sighing, Roxas lowered herself and stroked Siren's head. "Did you have another trainer before me...?" Siren hesitated and nodded softly. "Y-yes... Um, well, I suppose maybe not... No, what I-I mean is yes, I was captured as a Feabas and so that would make him my trainer so.... B-but... He wasn't a very nice trainer.... S-so...yeah..." She squeaked, her voice growing quieter and quieter as she went on. Roxas frowned. "I don't know what kind of stupid pathetic waste of a trainer beats up their pokemon, but I want you to forget them. They aren't worth your time. You're with me now, okay? Things are going to be a lot different from here on out. Now here, take this." She handed Siren the blue disc, and the water type looked it over curiously. "O-oh.... For me? A-are you sure...? m-maybe you should give it to a pokemon more qualified.... -I mean, I wouldn't want you to waste it o-or--"
Roxas sighed, cutting her off. "Siren, do something for me." The Milotic quit babbling and looked up at her trainer expectantly. "Straighten up." She commanded, and Siren looked at her curiously. "W-what do you mean exactly...?""You're making yourself look as small and meek as possible, it's not befitting of a majestic pokemon like yourself, so sit up, tall as you can, raise your head high." Roxas demonstrated using herself as an example, and Siren got what Roxas was asking finally, straightening herself and sitting tall. "Better, now look me in the eye. Eye contact is important when engaging in conversation." Roxas insisted, and though Siren wasn't sure what all of this was about, she did as she was told, looking directly at Roxas rather than off to the side as she normally did. "L-like this...?" Roxas nodded. "You were a bit hesitant at first, but that's okay, we'll practice." Siren nodded. "R-right, sorry..." Roxas sighed again. "And that's another thing, quit apologizing for everything you do. It's unnecessary. It isn't your job to please people, you need to be proud of who you are, stand up for the things you believe in." Roxas asserted with a confident grin, and Siren's eyes sparkled with admiration. "R-right....! I will.... Um.... I'll work on that...." The Milotic nodded.
"Now, er, I need you to lower yourself again a little so I can place this disk on your forehead. Heh." Roxas chuckled. "O-oh, right right." Siren chuckled nervously and lowered her head a little, at least enough to where Roxas could reach again. "Now, say; 'Thank you for this gift Roxas, I shall use it to the best of my abilities.' Then when we go out and wallop some wild pokemon, actually keep that promise." Roxas grinned, placing the disc on Sirens head. Siren had to giggle a little, she felt rather ridiculous doing all of this, but she smiled anyways and spoke up once again to repeat the words Roxas had instructed her to say. "Thank you for this gift Roxas, I shall use it to the best of my abilities." Siren smiled sweetly, making Roxas blush a little. "H-hey come off it, no using cute charm on your trainer, save it for our future battles." Roxas grumbled stubbornly, gently pushing Siren away. "O-oh.... I'm s-- I mean.... I wasn't aware it worked on trainers...." Roxas puffed up. "I-it doesn't! I was making a joke!" Huffing, Roxas retrieved the rest of her pokemon, clipping them onto her belt.
Next she released Cypher, waving the grey TM temptingly. "Hey Cy, wanna learn a new trick?" Roxas said temptingly. "Oh yes! I would very much like to learn something new! It has been a while since we've last updated my programming." Cypher practically sang and willingly touched the disk to learn the new move.

☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
☆ ☆【This looked like it was going to be an absolute checkmate for Bastien, Chatta having sufficiently slowed down the Porygon Z with a combination of String Shot and Stun Spore. However, Chrysa couldn’t help but notice that Roxas and Cypher seemed rather hesitant, as if they knew that the battle was more or less over for them at this point. Finally, Roxas looked away and spoke a quiet command, Cypher seeming to look back towards its trainer in a way that said ‘Are you serious?’ However, the Porygon Z, knowing better than to argue with its trainer, suddenly collapsed onto the ground and shut itself down much to Chrysa and Bastien’s surprise, signaling that Roxas was waving the white flag and ending the battle. The blonde woman returned her sleeping Fennekin to her ball and helped free Cypher from Chatta’s webbing, commenting on how it was a smart move on Bastien’s part to have Chatta clog up the Porygon Z’s filter with pollen and string and that she was done, since her strongest Pokemon was more or less finished and she had no other usable Pokemon to battle with. Once Roxas had cleaned up and returned Cypher to his Pokeball, she whistled for her Noibat, who fluttered up from Chrysa’s lap and went over to perch on the woman’s shoulder. Chrysa listened as the blonde woman spoke once again, saying that since Bastien had bested her in battle, he should at least know her name before introducing herself as Roxas Noskovi. This made the crowd stir with gossip and talk about how Roxas was apparently some sort of celebrity, as well as a master programmer. Truth be told, the redhead had absolutely no idea that the woman was so famous around here, then again it was likely that Roxas’ work had not yet made it as far as Hoenn since it seemed she was so well-known here in Kalos. Nonetheless, she smiled widely as she approached her green-haired friend, feeling glad that Bastien had done well in his battle against her, though it didn’t last for long as a certain spiky-haired youth came cutting through the crowd towards them with two younger kids at his side. Pale skin, white hair… Chrysa’s eyebrows arched in recognition as she realized it had been the guy she had gotten a brief glimpse of earlier, but seeing him up close now she could confirm that it was indeed the infamous York that Bastien had told her so much about. Not even five seconds after approaching them, York punched Bastien in the arm and chastised him for picking a fight with a celebrity. After a moment, Bass seemed to realize everything that had happened, and nodded towards Roxas as she commented about wanting a rematch with him someday. Chrysa couldn’t help but grin a bit at that, even though she had been outmatched in the end, Roxas certainly seemed like an interesting individual… Perhaps she could have a shot at battling against her sometime, Chrysa was always fond of a challenge… and she still had that sparring match with Bass that they might get around to sometime. Soon enough, Roxas left, likely heading to the Pokemon Center to heal up since her Pokemon had taken quite a beating in that match. With that taken care of and the crowd starting to break up, Chrysa turned her attention towards Bastien and York as she listened to the exchange between them. Apparently York had come by to watch the match just as Chatta had been wrapping things up, the pale-skinned male shooing away the two kids accompanying him after giving them each some money. Amaterasu seemed a bit sad that Rave had to go for now, but seemed rather curious about York as she glanced up at him inquisitively with scarlet eyes. Ryouichi sized the guy up, not having said much of anything for a while now as he silently watched. The Froakie had always prided himself as a good judge of character, and he felt that as of right now he didn’t exactly like York all that much. There was something about the guy that just irked him, maybe it was just the fact that he didn’t know when to just shut his mouth, or maybe it was the aura he was getting off of him… Regina, on the other hand, was preoccupied with other matters as she noticed a small bag of some sort lying in the street close by. The Mega Lopunny picked it up carefully and examined it, unsure of who it had belonged to and why it was just in the middle of the walkway like that. Still, it seemed that no one else had come forth to claim it… perhaps checking what was inside wouldn’t hurt, right? Chrysa glanced back and forth between Bastien and York, listening as the guy told Bastien to stop by the arcade later on and check the scores, saying that he had been slacking and that his name was almost at the bottom of the list. As he asked if the green-haired boy was going to quit singing to hang out with girls all day, the redhead tensed up when she noticed York looking at her with an accusing smirk on his face. Nonetheless, York handed a Pokeball over to Bastien, saying that he could have the ‘sucky Pokemon’ that he’d won today, and that the green-haired young man should get in on the next prize tomorrow or else York would keep winning until he was famous like Roxas. Bastien seemed suspicious of the Pokeball, not that Chrysa could blame him, though York assured in his own way that it wasn’t a prank, giving the Pokemon away as a gift since he didn’t want it himself. Chrysa rolled her eyes a bit, feeling somewhat glad when York finally left, he could’ve very well talked himself to death at this point with how he kept going on and on. Casting a glance towards Bastien, she gave a slight shrug as he tossed the Pokeball York had given him, revealing the Pokemon inside to be a Trubbish. Well, York certainly hadn’t been that far from the mark when he had mentioned ‘trashy Pokemon’… still, Chrysa couldn’t help but giggle and smile at the dopey expression on the trash Pokemon’s face. It was actually rather cute, to be honest, and Trubbish wasn’t all that bad of a Pokemon, she couldn’t see why York wouldn’t want it himself. She was about to comment on it, but was stopped before she could even open her mouth when Regina nudged her lightly with an elbow. ” Hm? What do you have there, Gigi?” the redhead asked, turning around and noticing the Mega Lopunny was holding something. Regina smiled sweetly to her, handing over a small blue egg that Chrysa recognized as a Lucky Egg, a Heart Scale, and three small blue candies that were clearly Rare Candies. ” Ah, thank you!” the redhead said gratefully with a smile, tucking the items away into her bag. She had no idea of where Regina kept finding these kinds of things, but she supposed she wouldn’t question it for now… these items could come in handy, especially since they would be training up to fight Grant soon. She looked back towards Bastien as he recalled Chatta and his new Trubbish, whom he had fittingly named York Jr., to their balls and picked up Spice, nodding as he apologized for all of what had happened. ” Yeah, I can certainly say that your description of him wasn’t that far off,” she commented with a soft chuckle as he said that that was indeed York, cementing her suspicions well and good. Bastien warned her to not let the guy fool her, since York could be a larger jerk than how he had been to them just now. She quirked an eyebrow slightly at his comment that York had probably been nicer because she had been around, likely the guy didn’t want to make an absolute a** out of himself in front of the ladies, or something like that... ” A good thing too, otherwise I just might’ve had to take some pretty drastic measures,” she remarked, feeling quite relieved as well, ” Still, if that was him being ‘nice’, I don’t think I’d wanna know how he is when he goes into Full Jerk Mode…” Still, with the battle finished up now, that just left them with the question of what they were to do now. Bastien asked if she still wanted to look around Lumiose a little, promising hastily that he wouldn’t wander off again like he had when they’d encountered Roxas. Chrysa chuckled softly at that, gently patting his arm in a playful manner. ” Heh, I’ll hold ya to that promise, Bass, ya already caused enough trouble today with that whole Roxas encounter~” she said lightly, only joking for the most part. Arceus forbid that they have another scenario like that… A thoughtful expression on her face, Chrysa glanced around them before smiling towards Bastien. ” In any case, I wouldn’t mind sticking around in Lumiose for a bit longer~ Maybe I’ll get one of those Holo Casters for repurposing later on, but it’s not necessarily a priority right now,” she responded, feeling that it wouldn’t hurt to stay here for a bit, ” We should start heading out towards Camphrier soon though, we’ve got plenty of training to do if we’re going to be battling against Grant next!” A thought crossed her mind in that moment, and she gave a nod towards the green-haired young man. ” But first things first, we should probably get to a Center so ya can heal up your Pokemon, Sawa and Chatta really took quite a beating in that fight,” she stated, giving him a small smile, ” We’d want everyone to be healed up and in top shape by the time we’re ready to head out to the next town, right?” It was the best idea to do while they were still going to be around here for the time being, and there was no telling how long it would be until they got to Camphrier Town once they left the city. ” Well, unless there’s anything else ya need to check on before we leave, like that arcade place that York mentioned, maybe?” she asked as she tilted her head towards him curiously, flashing him a cheeky grin, ” Go on and lead the way then, great and almighty Tour Guide~ I’ll be right behind ya~” Knowing full well that Bastien knew this place better than she did, and since he was her tour guide in a sense, it would only make sense that he take the lead. She would prefer to not get lost again after what had happened back in Santalune Forest, and Arceus knew that Lumiose City would be even more difficult to find her way through if that happened.】☆ ☆

It was good to hear that someone agreed with his view on York. Not that it was hard to take notice of his jerky attitude or anything, but he had a way of weaseling his way into friendships with people somehow... Bastien had to admit, he wasn't completely unlikeable, but his not-so-friendly rival had some serious attitude problems. "Yeah... It's not pretty. He can get kind of violent, but..." Perhaps it was best not to bring up how York had kicked and belittled several of his Pokemon during their battle. "N-nevermind. Hey, speaking of Roxas, I wonder if she went to the Pokecenter nearby?" Boy, that'd be awkward. Chrysa had a point though; Sawa and Chatta needed healing. Plus it may have been a good idea to shop around a little for neat stuff! "But yeah, that's a good idea. I hope she won't think we're following her around, or anything--" Quite suddenly, Bastien's words were cut off by the sound of a gasp from not too far away. There was a commotion going on... Again. Wondering if York was causing trouble, Bastien looked over, but only found a Skitty running towards them.
"Aaaaaah, I nyew I saw a shiny stone over here!" Deftly, the Skitty made a sharp right and leapt onto the sidewalk railway before kicking off of that and flying straight towards Bastien! "Prepare yourself, human! I nyeed that stone! It is my destinyaw--"
"Can it, fleabag!" In an instant, the Skitty's dramatic shenanigans were squelched by Spice. Bastien's Pokemon hopped from his arms and did a little spin, smacking its tail down right on the Skitty's head. The poor cat's eyes and lips bulged out comically as Spice's attack connected, sending it down to the ground in a single hit.
Bastien couldn't understand anything they were saying, only hearing the two of them cry at each other. Before he knew it, though, the conflict was over, and he had to give the Skitty credit... It was kind of cute. Clutching at his necklace underneath his shirt, the trainer figured that it was what attracted this little assault. It sure would have been nice to have his own little translator like the one Roxas invented; he wondered when she was going to try and mass produce them. But, for the moment, Bastien shrugged to Chrysa and knelt down with an empty Pokeball, gently tapping it to the Skitty's head. The kitty cat twitched a bit, eyes spinning as it out a little 'nyehhh'. It didn't take long for the click of success to follow, just as Bastien had thought. It didn't seem to belong to anyone considering no one rushed up to claim it... And the looks of relief from the crowd just ahead reaffirmed that. "Sheeeesh, I need to slow down on catching Pokemon. But they're all so awesome! I just wanna catch 'em all, or something!"
Pausing for a moment, Bastien glanced at Chrysa before scratching his head. "A-anyways! Let's head on down this street here. There's a Center real close. Then we can pick up a Holo Caster for you if you want, since there's an electronics store just across the block! O-oh, and I dunno about the arcade right now. That's all the way across the city... I'll take you there next time we're here, if you wanna! They've got a bunch of cool VR games and stuff you can play with your Pokemon, and of course there's the huge karaoke machine... B-but I'm getting ahead of myself again. My bad." He gave Chrysa and her Pokemon a great big smile before nodding and briskly moving down the street, trying to avoid any formations of pedestrians so that he wouldn't fall face-first into anyone's business again. "Heh. Just leave it to me!"
Just as Bastien had said, the Center wasn't far. He led them to it with no problems. Stepping inside, Bastien quickly went to the counter and requested that his Pokemon- aside from Spice, who remained perched on his shoulder- be healed. He hadn't looked before, but one glance to his side and... Yep. Sure enough, there was Roxas, tending to her own Pokemon. The green-haired boy kept quiet until his own Pokemon were fully healed, took them and thanked the nurse, then turned towards Roxas with a serious expression. Perhaps she hadn't noticed him... Gulping, he walked over to the semi-celebrity. "Yo," Bastien said while giving a small salute. Roxas had Siren, Cypher, and an unknown Golett out at the moment, and he smiled apologetically to them all. "I... Apologize for what happened, and for being disrespectful. E-even though I already did say sorry, but..." Perhaps it'd help if Sawa apologized, as well. His unintentional disrespect sort of helped set the generally unpleasant mood of their battle. Retrieving Sawa's Pokeball from his ever-growing collection, Bastien tossed it out gently and nodded. When Sawa was out, the Tyrogue looked around, frowning seriously when he took notice of Roxas and her team. Bastien nudged him a little, stiffening up to prepare for a bow. Sawa knowingly did the same... In truth, he did feel a little bad. He hadn't expected such a meek opponent. Both of them bowed deeply, each speaking in unison:
"We're sorry!"
Because of the dramatic bowing motion, Spice, who'd been dozing off on Bastien's shoulder, found herself flung to the ground in the midst of it. "BwoooaaAAAH--" The Azurill hit the ground with a conk, scrambling to try and rebalance herself. Bastien took notice of this, unfortunately, and stifled a laugh... Just barely, though. His cheeks were puffed out in his bowed position and he was clearly snickering with his head down. "There's this thing called gravity, you turd! Don't do weird crap when I'm tryna sleep-- Oh. Ohhh. Ohhhhh, buttknuckles, not again." Azurill then saw their enemies, and she warily hopped back a little.
TURN 1 A wild Skitty appeared! Spice used Knock Off! Skitty took 130 damage and fainted! (-10/120)
TURN 2 Bastien used a Pokeball! Success! Skitty was caught! Spice gained 5 EXP!

I'm Carmen Sandiego, guess where I am! : South Lumiose City~ The more the merrier~ : My Pokemon, Bastien, Roxas~ What is this sudden emotion I'm experiencing? : Eager~ Let's see here... What to think about this... :' She’s really quite something, I’ll admit that much!' Team Out of Ball: Counters: Movement: 17/3 Wild Pokemon: 24/5 NPC Trainer: 32/15 Item Quest: Eviolite: 20/30 Heart Scale: 2/10 Big Mushroom: 5/30 (On hold) Level 5 Miltank (Horoscope ; In Daycare) Level 5 Electrike (St. Patrick’s Day ; In Daycare) Want to know more about Chrysa? Check out her profile page!
☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
☆ ☆【Chrysa was considerably relieved when York took his leave, wondering what all of that had been about. She was quite curious as to whether or not Bastien had some sort of relationship between him and York before they became rivals, perhaps old classmates or childhood friends? Still, it was likely for the better that he hadn’t been as much of a jerk then as he could have, Bastien seemed to agree well enough on that. A slight frown crossed her face as he said that it certainly wasn’t pretty when York acted like a true jerk, and that he could get pretty violent too. Goodness, he certainly sounded like a handful… she wasn’t even certain of how Bastien could handle someone like that. She tilted her head slightly when it seemed like he was going to say something more, but he quickly dismissed it and wondered if Roxas had perhaps gone to the Pokemon Center nearby when she had left not too long ago. ” Maybe, who knows, we just might see her again~” the redhead suggested with a grin. Celebrity or not, she had to admit that Roxas was an interesting person… even if she was a bit of a punk. Still, Bastien’s Pokemon really needed healing, primarily Sawa, who had fainted, and Chatta, who was likely still paralyzed and had taken quite a bit of damage from Cypher’s Zap Cannon. Chrysa nodded as Bastien agreed, saying that he hoped Roxas wouldn’t think that they were following her or anything. ” Ah, well, that’s part of being a celebrity and whatnot, ya can expect to have quite a following wherever ya go,” the redhead commented with a chuckle, though she paused as she noticed Bastien looking over elsewhere. Following his gaze, she saw the Skitty running their way. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but suddenly the little pink cat Pokemon turned sharply, jumped onto and kicked off the sidewalk railing and flew towards Bastien! Chrysa was about to shout for him to duck or something before he got tackled, but Spice was quick to react as she jumped out from Bastien’s arms and smacked the Skitty down. Not expecting the strike, the Skitty’s eyes seemed to bulge out like some kind of cartoon character before it fell to the ground, still it was rather odd that the little cat would come running up to them and nearly assault Bastien out of the blue like that. Come to think of it, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to have a translator type device like the one Roxas had, she had mentioned that she would be looking to have them mass-produced, right? Chrysa looked to Bastien, giving a small shrug and watching him approach the Skitty and tap it on the head with a Pokeball to capture it. She chuckled at Bastien’s comment about slowing down since he was catching so many Pokemon at once, but he couldn’t help it because they were all so awesome. ” Heh, well for trainers, there’s no such thing as having too many Pokemon~ At least, that’s what Grandmama always told me,” she said with a giggle, ” Still, ya might wanna save up some room on that team of yours~” Nonetheless, with the Skitty situation taken care of, Chrysa nodded as Bastien said that there was a PokeCenter just down the street from where they were, and they could swing by the electronics store across the block and pick up a Holo Caster for her afterwards. ” Sounds like a plan~” she agreed with a nod and a smile, listening as he went on. He explained that the arcade would wait for another time, since it was all the way on the other side of the city, and that there was all sorts of things to do there like virtual reality games and karaoke. Well, York had mentioned something about singing earlier, Chrysa had no idea that Bastien even did karaoke up until now. Though she had to admit that it would be quite interesting to see… ” Yeah, the arcade sounds good for later~ Sounds like a blast!” she said with a wide grin. She had never been to such a place before, since Mossdeep didn’t exactly have an arcade of its own from what she remembered. She didn’t even really play a lot of video games anyways, most of the time she had spent at home were helping her grandma to care for the Pokemon in rehabilitation, research, or building. Still, the arcade in Lumiose sounded like it would definitely be worth checking out later on. For now, though, they needed to get to the Pokemon Center, Chrysa gladly following along with Bastien as he led the way down the street. This time, they took care in avoiding large gatherings of pedestrians so that they wouldn’t wind up in another situation like before. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for them to reach the Center, thankfully without any hassles. Rolling inside the building after her green-haired friend, Chrysa immediately noticed Roxas and her Pokemon standing off to the side while Bastien got his Pokemon healed up. Seemed she had picked up a new addition to her team, a Golett from the looks of it, and Siren and Cypher were also present as well. Amaterasu seemed rather disappointed that Rave wasn’t among them, but she hoped that she would get to see her new friend again soon. Sure enough, Bastien noticed the semi-celebrity nearby too, and approached her once he got his Pokemon back. Chrysa followed along, giving a small smile as Bastien greeted them and gave an apologetic smile. He apologized for what had happened and for being disrespectful, even though he had already said sorry. The redhead watched as he sent out Sawa as well, the Tyrogue frowning when he noticed Roxas and her team in front of them. However, Bastien urged him to apologize, and they both bowed deeply in unison as they did so. However, Bastien’s bow caused Spice, who had been resting on his shoulder, to tumble down from her perch to the ground. As bad as she felt for the Azurill for taking the sudden tumble, Chrysa couldn’t help but find the display amusing as she held a hand over her mouth and stifled a giggle. Bastien was trying to contain his laughter too, though he didn’t seem to do it very well since she could tell he was clearly chuckling with his head down. Spice started to spout off at Bastien for disturbing her nap, when she noticed Roxas and her team and hopped back a little.” It’s okay, Spice Senpai! They don’t look like they wanna fight right now,”Amaterasu yipped, wagging her tail a little as she tried to assure her Azurill friend/teacher that there was no need to be so wary,” At least, I think so…”Chrysa turned her attention towards Roxas, flashing her a small smile. ” So, no hard feelings, right?” she asked, hoping that the blonde woman wasn’t too sore about what all had happened back there. Her golden gaze looked between Roxas and her team, her smile growing a bit wider. ” Though I gotta admit, ya really got an interesting battle style there, Roxas, ‘specially with all those move combinations ya programmed into your Porygon Z,” she added with a nod. Even if Roxas’ Pokemon hadn’t exactly been prepared to face off against Bastien’s team, they certainly has some potential in them. ” Perhaps sometime ya n’ I can have a battle ourselves, I’m always game for a challenge~” Chrysa commented with a nod and a soft chuckle. She had remembered hearing that Roxas was also a master programmer or something, which would explain how she had been able to configure her Porygon Z’s programming as well as make that device that translated Pokespeak. While Chrysa herself was fascinated with technology, it was more of the aspect of the mechanics and the underlying structure of it. Programming, on the other hand, was not something that she had researched into that much, though she had heard that programmers were able to do some pretty neat stuff with the coding they played around with. Case and point, Chrysa did hold some degree of respect for Roxas, anyone who knew their way around technology as well as she did was certainly an ace in her book.】☆ ☆

Roxas honestly hadn't noticed Bass and Chrysa enter the pokemon center. People had been coming and going since she'd gotten there, but she was more focused on repairing her new little Golett, giving confidence tips to Siren, and now she was adjusting Cypher's moveset with the new nifty little gifts she'd gotten for her last job. However, it was kind of hard to ignore when Bass approached her directly, her green eyes flicking over to look over the boy as he came closer, attempting to act casual and failing miserably. He was clearly nervous, giving her a stiff salute as he greeted her. "Hey, y'know when I said I wanted a rematch later, I didn't mean two seconds later." Roxas busied herself with Gamma, there were a few spots she'd missed when wiping him down and she got to them now. "Heh, so what are you here for anyways? Come on, spit it out. Relax kid, I don't bite. Hard." Roxas flashed him a brief smirk before refocusing on Gamma. Soon te green haired boy continued, apologizing for his behavior earlier, and Roxas quirked a brow in curiosity. He even got his Tyrogue in on the little act, both of them bowing and apologizing in coordination.
This of course startled the Azurill on his shoulder, causing her to fall flat on her face and soon become acutely aware of Roxas' presence. "Buttknuckles? That's an interesting choice of words." Roxas chuckled with amusement and paused from her cleaning. As Ammy reassured Spice that she didn't think Roxas wanted to fight at the moment, flashing a small smile the blonde's way, Roxas nodded lightly and wiped her hands off with the oilcloth as she turned her attention back to Bass and his Tyrogue, looking them over thoughtfully for a moment before speaking again. "...You know I was never really angry about your little face-plant right?" Roxas pointed out matter of factly. "To be honest I was just looking for a battle, I pushed your buttons 'cause you were actin' kind of pathetic." Roxas mused. "You weren't being disrespectful, you stood up for yourself. I like that, so don't go ruining it with all this celebrity respect crap. I don't get special foot stomping rights just cause people know me." She insisted.
"That being said, I appreciate the effort, but I don't know what you're apologizing to me for. If anything, the two of you should apologize to her." Roxas jerked her head to indicate Siren, who had been practicing her confident pose, up until Roxas put her in the spotlight, and then she immediately shrank down on herself once again. "N-no, r-really it's okay, all is forgiven. I'm good as n-new... P-please don't look at me...." Siren's tail came up and spread out into it's fan-like structure so the Milotic could hide herself behind it. Roxas sighed, seeing her hard work on building Siren up reduced to rubble, but she supposed she couldn't expect Siren to change overnight, it was something they'd have to work on.
"But to be honest, I don't blame you for going all out. It was nice. Haven't had a battle quite like that in a long time." Roxas chuckled, glancing to Chrysa as she asked to make sure there were no hard feelings. "Heh, no. No hard feelings..... Well maybe a few, I can't say for sure." Roxas grinned slyly. She was joking of course, but she would leave it ambiguous just to mess with them a bit. Chrysa however complimented her fighting style, particularly her synchronization with Cypher. "Mm. You aren't from around here are you ginger?" Roxas still hadn't gotten Chrysa's name and she was no longer their referee, so by default she was now Ginger. "Sorry, I'm a bit on the blunt side. Thanks for the compliment." Roxas nodded, "But you see, what got my fame started in these parts was my battles with Cypher in the different restaurants around Lumiose. I served people their food and gave a quick battle while it cooled. Everyone and their Snubbull seems to know my whole life story around here, so the fact that you don't gave it away. No offense. It's actually kind of refreshing." Roxas explained. "Anyways, point is I'd love to battle you sometime, but I think the rest of my team needs some more work first. As for whether or not your match or Bassy's rematch comes first well.... I'll let you have your little lover's quarrel over that. Should be entertaining to watch." Roxas couldn't help but grin slyly and turn back to Gamma. "Alright, you're all set Gamma." The Golett shifted slightly to look up at her endearingly, but still not so much as a beep from it's mouth. Huh...

Roxas didn't seem too upset about what happened, thankfully. In fact, she seemed quite easygoing. Bastien had only caught a brief glimpse of that side of her, when they weren't so engrossed in the battle beforehand. The green-haired boy stood up straight again, tucking his father's shoddily-repaired necklace back underneath his shirt before scratching at his nose. "Heheh, I'm not here to get bitten, I can tell you that. So I guess I'm in luck."Grinning, Bastien caught that Roxas could still understand what his Pokemon were saying. Something about... Buttknuckles? Nevermind that, though, the important part was the translator itself, not what was being translated. Just as he was about to ask Roxas if he might be able to borrow it at some point, the blonde pointed out that she wasn't actually mad about the incident in the first place. It was made clear that Roxas was just itching for a fight. Her insults were just used as gas to get the fire started... Quite frankly, it made Bastien feel a little worse about it all. "It wasn't... Ms. Noskovi, no, it wasn't because you're well-known and talented, or anything like that. I'd show you the same respect that I'd show anyone. That's how I was raised, and--"
He paused. Roxas had a good point. They'd been so worked up, that they hadn't considered the level of battle experience that Roxas and her team actually had. Siren's size didn't mesh well with her personality, that much was certain. Looking to the floor as his lips curled into a guilty frown, Bastien recalled how easily the Milotic had been beaten. It was his code, and his father's code, to be extremely respectful to others until they wronged you. When that happened, there was no room for mercy. Yet... Now that everything was a little clearer, this sort of made Bastien look like the bad guy in this situation.
Spice seemed to understand now that they weren't about to throw down again. Ammy assured her, but her assurance seemed a little flimsy... "Y-you can't just tack on 'I think so' at the end...! You're givin' a girl a heart attack!" She bounced up and down a little, looking rather panicked for a moment, but all it took was a deep breath for her to regain her composure. "I-I mean, right. That's right, there's no need to be worried!" Nodding, Spice looked up at Bastien and decided to hop back into his arms while she had the chance.
Sawa, more importantly, felt both disgraced by his defeat and dishonorable due his poor treatment of Siren. Gulping, the Tyrogue ventured a few steps closer to his serpentine opponent. She was hiding herself... Sawa was no good with girls, and them being shy made things even harder. He searched deep inside of his mind for something insightful and encouraging to tell her, and when he had it...
"Ice cream sandwiches."
No, that wasn't quite right.
"Ate the whole tuna. Took 'em up and just tied all of their shoes in a bundle. Fifty-seven of the overall percentage of laundromats choose beefy waffles as the captain for the softball team--"
Ahhhh, Sawa's mushmouth was returning. A bright blush appeared on the Tyrogue's face as he quickly slapped a hand over his mouth, turning away. He strode all the way to the other side of the Center, sitting down and mindlessly grabbing one of the magazines from a rack to hide his own face. Every so often, though, his eyes darted up from behind the magazine, cautiously watching for any movement in either Regina or Siren... Those two were dangerous to him.
Bastien didn't need a translation for that. Disappointed in his not-so-eloquent Pokemon, he wiped a single bead of sweat from his forehead before turning his attention back to Roxas with a befuddled look. "He's a real hit with the ladies. A-anyway, yeah. That was a good fight!" As Roxas turned to address Chrysa then, Bastien took the time to manage his team a little. He pulled his Pokedex out, navigating the menus a little while lowering his shoulder to allow Spice to perch herself... But strangely, she was nowhere to be found. Oh well; Spice wouldn't be too hard to find again in just a moment. Bastien decided that two Water-types were dangerous, and so he switched out Bao for Cotton. That left Bao, York Junior, and his new Skitty Shine out of his team. That was when it hit him that he could easily transfer them to the Pokemon Daycare right from his Dex. Technology sure was nifty!
With that out of the way, Bassey went to open up the flap on his messenger bag... Only to find that it was already up. His face grew pale and an expression of horror darkened his features... Inside, a fat little mouse was stuffing its face with chocolate. "Man, these things are freakin' good..."
"S-SPICE!" As he often did when he was panicking, Bastien began hopping from foot to foot, plucking Spice from his bag and looking in at the chocolatey mess she'd left. "M-m-my snacks!" Bastien had specifically chosen a combination of high-protein snacks like jerky alongside very unhealthy junk food like chocolate in order to try and bulk up a little. Somehow he'd managed to save the very last of his chocolates, but... Everything else was gone. He looked like he was about to cry holding Spice up in the air.
"Hic-"
Suddenly, though, a hiccup from Spice seemed to trigger something. It burped up a tiny purple stone first... Gross to say the least, but then Spice's body became enveloped in a bright light. Bastien raised his other hand to shield his eyes, but before he knew it, the light was gone. And not only that... Spice was a lot heavier!
"Oh, geez, stick a fork in me. I'm donions."
Through the power of disgusting food abuse, Spice has evolved into Marill! Bastien lost 4 Sweet Hearts, but got an Eviolite!
This day was already shaping up to be quite eventful. Bastien was happy that Spice had evolved so quickly, but he was still mad that all of his snacks got eaten in the process. "Mmmmmm, I'll let it slide this time..." He gave Spice the stink-eye, who chuckled nervously in response. "But it's back in the ball for you, y'little binge eater!" Spice seemed to have no problems with that; she looked like she was about to pass out after indulging in a holiday dinner. Bastien recalled her into her ball before requesting some napkins from the nurse at the counter, doing his best to clean out his bag a little.

I'm Carmen Sandiego, guess where I am! : South Lumiose City~ The more the merrier~ : My Pokemon, Bastien, Roxas~ What is this sudden emotion I'm experiencing? : Eager~ Let's see here... What to think about this... :' She’s really quite something, I’ll admit that much!' Team Out of Ball: Counters: Movement: 18/3 Wild Pokemon: 25/5 NPC Trainer: 33/15 Item Quest: Eviolite: 21/30 Heart Scale: 3/10 Big Mushroom: 5/30 (On hold) Level 5 Miltank (Horoscope ; In Daycare) Level 5 Electrike (St. Patrick’s Day ; In Daycare) Want to know more about Chrysa? Check out her profile page!
☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
☆ ☆【It seemed that Roxas hadn’t noticed the two of them enter the Pokemon Center, though Chrysa could see that she was rather preoccupied at the moment with her Pokemon from the looks of it. After Bastien finished with getting his Pokemon healed up, the two of them approached the semi-celebrity, who glanced over towards them while she was cleaning up her newly acquired Golett. Chrysa watched as Bastien greeted her, though he was trying and clearly failing in his attempt to act casual. Roxas seemed to notice as well, saying that when she had said she wanted a rematch, she hadn’t meant two seconds later before asking what he was here for anyways. Sure enough, Bastien went on to apologize, getting Sawa involved as well since the Tyrogue’s battle behavior could’ve been a bit better than it had as they both bowed. Of course, the sudden motion caused Spice, who had dozed off on Bastien’s shoulder, to fall flat on her face onto the floor much to Bastien and Chrysa’s amusement. The redhead covered her mouth with a hand to stifle her giggles, though the green-haired young man could clearly be seen snickering from his bowed position. The Azurill started spouting off into a rant towards Bastien, before noticing Roxas and her team right in front of them and bounced back a bit with a wary look in her eyes. Chrysa couldn’t help but grin widely as Roxas made a remark on Spice’s choice of words, buttknuckles for example. Amaterasu quickly tried to dispel the Azurill’s suspicions, though she wasn’t doing as good a job of it as she had hoped. The Fennekin’s ears flattened a little as Spice told her to not tack on phrases like ‘I think so’ at the end, since she was giving the Azurill a heart attack from panic.” S-Sorry Spice Senpai!”she quickly apologized, bowing to her Azurill teacher. Thankfully, Spice’s panic didn’t last for long as she agreed that there was nothing to worry about, and a nod from Roxas in agreement to Ammy’s statement cemented it well and good. Nevertheless, Chrysa was quite relieved that Roxas wasn’t the least bit angry, in fact, the girl seemed rather casual and laid back about it. She seemed almost like a completely different person than from when she and Bastien had battled, though that trademark smirk that always seemed present on her face was still there. As it turned out, Roxas hadn’t actually been mad at all from the whole mishap when Bastien had face-planted into her chest. She had only been looking for a battle, and had been pushing his buttons to get him riled up. Bastien hadn’t been disrespecting her at all, though she liked the fact that he had asserted himself and told him to not go and ruin it with all of the celebrity respect spiel and whatnot. Bastien tried to explain himself, saying that it wasn’t because of her status as a minor celebrity, and that he was taught to show respect to everyone because he was raised like that. However, Roxas pointed out that if there was anyone that they needed to apologize to, it was Siren because of how she had been treated during the fight. Chrysa supposed that was understandable enough, the Milotic was really quite shy despite her size, likely not having had a lot of battling experience before. If anything, she felt that Siren could’ve at least been given a chance, since she had gone down so easily without even getting an opportunity to try to strike back. Sawa seemed to realize his error as well, and moved closer towards Siren as he tried to apologize or whatever it was he was trying to do. Chrysa couldn’t help but wish that she had some sort of Pokespeech translator device like Roxas, it would certainly be helpful to be able to hear what Pokemon were saying. Regina was watching closely, raising an eyebrow as Sawa said something about ice cream sandwiches. What in the name of Arceus was he talking about? He tried again, but what ended up coming out of his mouth sounded more like a mish-mosh of jumbled words and phrases that made no sense whatsoever. The Mega Lopunny couldn’t help but smile a bit out of amusement, finding it quite endearing that the tough Tyrogue who pegged himself as a martial arts master was fumbling majorly when it came to women. She watched as Sawa blushed hotly and stopped himself from saying more, the Tyrogue turning away and heading off towards the other side of the Pokemon Center and began reading one of the magazines.” Ah, I’m sure that he means well, sweetheart~ As much as he prides himself on being a martial arts guru, he’s got a good head on his shoulders,”Regina assured, looking towards Siren with a sweet smile,” I’m confident that you’ll grow stronger, both physically and mentally, it just takes a bit of time, patience, and nurturing~ Just remember that true beauty lies on the inside, and that fighting alone won’t make you strong. It’s what you’re willing to fight for that makes you strong~”She supposed that she couldn’t blame the Milotic for being as meek and shy as she was, but it was clear that Siren wanted to grow stronger if it meant making her trainer happy. Regina could respect that, the Mega Lopunny glancing over towards Sawa, who was still hiding his face in that magazine.” You know, for a martial arts master, I didn’t think that you were into magazines, Sawa~”she commented in his direction with a small smirk, chuckling softly as Bastien seemed rather disappointed in the Tyrogue’s lack of eloquence. Chrysa smiled a bit at that, she supposed she couldn’t blame Sawa. There were plenty of guys out in the world who more or less had no idea of what to do or say when it came to girls, though maybe he could get over it with time. For now, though, she grinned at Bastien’s comment regarding Sawa and his statement to Roxas about their battle. With that taken care of, Chrysa took her chance to jump into the conversation, asking just to make sure that there were no hard feelings. The redhead chuckled as Roxas grinned slyly in response, saying that there were no hard feelings, though perhaps there were still a few. Being cheeky as usual, though Chrysa didn’t seem to mind Roxas’ sense of humor that much, though she quirked an eyebrow slightly in response. When she went on to compliment the blonde’s fighting style, Roxas went on to ask if she wasn’t from around here. Chrysa grinned widely at being addressed as ‘Ginger’, nodding towards Roxas. ” Heh, ginger, haven’t heard that one in a millennium~ But to answer your question, Blondie, no, I’m not from around here. I’m from the big island a million miles away from here called Mossdeep City, Hoenn region,” she responded with a light laugh, intentionally adding in ‘Blondie’ as a teasing retaliation to Roxas’ calling her ‘Ginger’, ” The name’s Chrysanthemum, by the by, but feel free to call me Chrys or Chrysa for convenience’s sake. Or ya can make up whatever nickname ya want, long as it ain’t anything embarrassing~” She nodded in response as Roxas apologized for being a bit blunt, though she did appreciate the compliment. Roxas went on to explain that she had first gotten her claim to fame with her battles with Cypher in the restaurants around Lumiose, where she served people their food and gave them a quick battle while it cooled. Chrysa quirked her eyebrows in curiosity, admitting that the idea of having a meal while battling sounded quite interesting and unique… perhaps she would stop at one of those restaurants to check it out herself sometime. Nonetheless, she kept listening as the blonde said that pretty much everyone around her knew who she was, and the fact that the redhead didn’t know who the woman was until now was quite obvious. Not that Roxas meant any offense by it, she admitted that it was actually refreshing to meet someone who didn’t know every single detail about her life right off the bat. ” Heh, none taken, just your average foreigner is all I really am,” Chrysa reciprocated with a respectful nod, ” Still, ‘tis a pleasure to meet ya, Roxas~” The blonde went on to state her point that she was definitely up for a battle with her, though the rest of her team aside from Cypher needed quite a bit of training before they would be ready for another tussle. Though whether or not their match would come before or after the rematch she had planned with Bastien, she would let the two of them have their ‘lover’s quarrel’ over it. Chrysa couldn’t help but flush a bit at that, turning away in an attempt to hide her reddening cheeks. ” Y-Yeah, sounds good!” she remarked with a chuckle, turning towards Bastien as he seemed to be undergoing a bit of a dilemma with Spice. It seemed that the Azurill had gotten at the snacks he’d packed in his bag, and had suddenly evolved into a Marill. Bastien still seemed pretty upset, though he said that he would let it slide for now as he returned Spice into her Pokeball and requested some napkins from the nurse to clean up his bag. ” Ah, don’t worry about it too much, Bass~ We can pick up some snacks on our way out if ya’d like~” Chrysa suggested with a small smile, turning to look back towards Roxas, ” Y’know, if you’re looking to head out to Camphrier Town soon, you’re more than welcome to join our little adventuring party here if you’re interested~” She and Bastien had talked about possibly inviting any other trainers they happened to encounter on the way to join their little group here. Of course, Roxas didn’t have to accompany them if she wasn’t interested, but Chrysa felt that it was only fair to send an invitation her way just in case. There was nothing wrong with having more potential friends around to hang out and talk with, right?】☆ ☆

Bass insisted that he wasn't apologizing just because of her status, but Roxas was somewhat doubtful. She didn't really believe in stupid things like how deep down, there was some good in everyone, but Bass did make a convincing argument, so she would get off his case for now. "Alright alright I don't need your life story Bassy boy. Enough with the sappy talk." Roxas waved him off. "And for Arceus' sake please, stop calling me Miss Noskovi. You sound like your aiming to be my secretary or something." Roxas scoffed. "If you wanna call me something, call me Roxas or you can go by my alias; Noiz." Roxas suggested. Bastien's Tyrogue seemed to take to heart her suggestion of an apology to Siren, in spite of the Milotic insisting that all was forgiven. Siren tensed as she noticed Sawa approaching, hoping he wasn't looking to hit her again and bracing herself for the worst, however, he simply said.... Ice cream sandwiches....? Siren peeked out shyly from behind her tail and cocked her head slightly in confusion. Had she heard him right? Roxas blinked in surprise as well. Was that seriously his apology? Was he trying to get his a** kicked? Roxas would gladly pummel the little fighting type herself if he thought he could get away with this, she still had her translator on so it wasn't like she didn't know he wasn't actually apologizing. However, as the Tyrogue went on, her annoyed expression changed to a more confused stupor for the sheer amount nonsense that left Sawa's mouth.
Soon the poor tongue tied fellow stopped the stream of idiotic jabber with a hand over his mouth and promptly turned, walking far away to the other side of the room in embarrassment as he hid his face with a magazine. Bastien apperently didn't need a translation to figure out what had happened, explaining sarcastically that the Tyrogue was a real hit with the ladies. "...Yeah.... Does he have Tourettes or something?" Roxas asked slowly, baffled gaze still staring at Sawa in utter disbelief. Her head was still trying to process all the ridiculousness she'd just heard. She couldn't string together that much nonsense on the fly like that even if she tried. Siren blinked a few times, staring after the Tyrogue as well, as Regina explained that he really meant well. Siren understood, and soon she cracked a small smile, getting a quiet case of the giggles, clearly amused with Sawa's nonsensical statements. She breathed and calmed down, still smiling as Regina addressed her, promising that she would get stronger soon enough with some time, patience, and training. Siren nodded, taking her words to heart, though as Regina mentioned true beauty, the Milotic fidgeted a bit. "Mm.... If that's true...... T-then maybe...." She was muttering to herself mostly, and then she shook her head, redirecting her attention to Regina. "T-thank you...." She said quietly, staring at the floor, then she remembered Roxas's tip about eye contact, she glanced up quickly to meet Regina's gaze, but soon found herself staring at the floor again. It was just too odd, as kind as Regina seemed, she was just so beautiful, Siren didn't know how an ugly thing like her could dare to gaze upon the Mega Lopunny before her.
However, as Regina made a light quip towards the embarrassed Tyrogue, Siren squirmed anxiously. "O-oh.... N-no no, pleas don't tease him... Please, he already feels awful enough..." Siren insisted, her empathetic senses picking up on the Tyrogue's emotions. "I-I mean I know you don't mean anything by it b-but.... Ah... I'm s-sorry...! F-forgive me...." Siren felt embarrassed. She didn't have a right to speak like that to such a strong and wise and beautiful pokemon like her. If Amir were here.... Oh she'd be in so much trouble... Siren slunk away towards Sawa, coiling around his chair and laying her head on the armrest. "M-mind if I join you...? I-I mean, if you don't want to be near me that's f-fine I would understand really I'm n-not the most pleasant pokemon to be around and--gosh there's a lot of aversion coming from you why am I doing this...? W-well I mean, but I was hoping maybe you might let me be here anyways...." Siren said dismally. This wasn't going very well, she was about ready to give up before he even responded and just slink away in shame. "Ohhh dear...." She sighed, slipping her head off the armrest and to the floor. She'd tried at least. That had to be some sort of personal record.
Roxas felt a pang of sympathy, wanting to go and comfort her poor pokemon, but this was a learning experience, a chance for Siren to grow. The Milotic couldn't do that if Roxas went and held her hand, er, fin, the whole way. She turned her attention to Chrysa instead, calling her out on not being from Kalos. Not that it was a bad thing, Roxas wasn't from Kalos either, she was a citizen now though. The red haired girl seemed amused with her derrogitory nickname, firing back at Roxas with a "Blondie" comment. Roxas smirked. "Mossdeep eh? Yeah I've heard of it. Nice space station up there right?" Roxas withheld the fact that she'd hacked into their system once upon a time to get some blueprints. One of her earlier assignments once she'd started up her underground business. Then finally Chrysa gave her introduction, explaining her name was Chrysanthemum. "Gesundheit." Roxas chuckled, poking a bit of fun at the name. "Geez and I thought Noskovi was a mouthful. At least it's my last name and not my first. You have my sympathies flower girl, Chrysa sounds just fine, it's nice to meet you too." Roxas grinned, offering that she hadn't meant any offense by the things she said, she never really did but her jokes were generally at the expense of other people so offense normally was taken, but Roxas was just abrasive like that, partially out of self defense. How else was she going to ward off all her "fans" that wanted to hang out with her for her fame or fortune?
Roxas couldn't help but get a sly grin as Chrysa blushed and turned away at her "lovers quarrel" comment. She didn't get anything out of Bass though unfortunately, who was a little too engrossed in his pokedex at the moment. In fact, he was so engrossed that he didn't notice his Azurill had gotten into his bag and started eating all his snacks. Still, it was amusing to watch Bass find out, his expression of horror was pretty priceless, and Spice had practically put herself in a food coma. Grabbing the chocolate covered mouse, Bass held her to inspect the mess and soon Spice burped up a purple stone. Roxas wrinkled her nose a bit but grinned all the same, it was so nasty and disgusting that it was funny. "You sure that's not a Munchlax in disguise Bassy?" Roxas suggested, however as the little Azurill began to glow and evolve into a Marill, it was pretty obvious that wasn't the case. Cypher quickly rushed forwards to scan the new pokemon and send the information to Roxas' pokedex, then happily whirred around the group via little figure eights.
Chrysa, who seemed rather amused by the display as well, suggested that they could pick up some more snacks before they left before offering Roxas to join them on their journey to Camphrier Town. "Mm yeah, I was gonna head that way next I suppose if we're all going to the same place at the same time it wouldn't hurt to travel together." Roxas shrugged. "When were you guys planning to head out?" She asked curiously. Honestly Roxas hadn't spent much time in Lumiose so she wouldn't mind staying and training a bit before leaving, but Camphrier did have stronger pokemon, so she couldn't complain about heading there right away either. Roxas was pretty flexible.

Roxas seemed to insist on dismissing the matter completely, going so far as to call him 'Bassy boy' and reject his intentions of referring to her as Miss Noskovi. Sheesh, she was so rude! Bastien puffed out his cheeks unwittingly, looking quite fussy about the matter. With his bag mostly clean now, he looked back up to the blonde, tilting his head a little. "Fine, geez!" Snickering as he grinned slyly, Bastien looked away. "You won't hear any more about it from me, Roxie-poo." Drawing no unnecessary attention to his pet name for her, the boy nodded brightly to Chrysa. "Mhm! I'm not too worried. We can always just eat later anyways!" Chrysa then offered Roxas a spot in their group, which was fine by Bastien. It would give him a chance to ask if he could use that translator of hers to speak to Bita. Somehow, he really had to get through to that little Chespin... Something was very obviously wrong.
Having expected the other Pokemon to leave him alone, Sawa jumped a little when Regina addressed him. He peeked over the magazine just a little, nodding. "O-of course I am. I... I love to read up on the latest sports news." Little did the Tyrogue know that he was holding a women's fashion magazine. Everything on the pages appeared as unintelligible scribble to him, but he hoped his guess on the contents had been right... There were no pictures on that particular page, after all. His act went out the window anyway, however, as Siren decided to press things by approaching him. No, no, no! Sawa cringed more and more as she approached, eyes widening as the Milotic coiled around his chair. Finally, when she spoke, it was all over. "D-d-don't mess with me! You're just making fun of me, aren't you?" He put the magazine down, raising his shaky voice just a little.
Bastien, having been meaning to answer Roxas on the subject of Sawa's problem, frowned thoughtfully. "Nuh-uh. My neighbor's Mienfoo turned him down hard when we were younger. Like, really hard. He really hasn't been comfortable around female Pokemon ever since." Walking over to where Sawa and Siren were, Bastien raised a cautious hand. "I-I'm sorry! Sawa isn't feeling well right now, um-" Snapping his fingers, the trainer grinned cheerfully. "Ah! He must be under the effects of your Cute Charm! R-right, Sawa?" Frantically, the Tyrogue nodded his head, wanting nothing more than to get back in his ball and escape all the attention he was getting. "I'm really sorry, but maybe you two can talk later?" With that, Bastien recalled Sawa and gave Siren a sympathetic smile. "It's him, not you. He's not used to dealing with girls-- I mean, other Pokemon outside of battle."
He really hoped that Siren would understand. "Hmmm, well I know we need to stop at that electronics store across the street, but other than that I'm ready to go!" Bastien stretched out his arms and legs before turning towards Roxas and Chrysa. "The sooner we can get to training, the better... After everything else is taken care of, of course. Heh!"
