The cybernetic duck falls in turn, with Ruby looking pensive. "Well, we did our part. A shame it has to end so soon.""Well, I'll see if we can do ours," Ayah says. " Sparkles, now that they're closer... bring the cold, please." The dino shuffles over and lets out a cute attempt at a roar, before breathing out a line of cold and snow at the eggs. The enthusiasm from the creature means that it almost misses its target, but manages to correct itself at the last moment. The chill blast passes over all of the eggs, leaving them motionless. "Is it... over?" Ayah asks. "Looks like it," Ruby replies, giving a nod. "Nice work, there. I was really worried at the start... man, that was close. Looks like I'm going to need to step up my game a bit, if this is what we're going to be up against for this, eh, Ev?" The only real response is a distracted "Yeah, sure," as the green-haired girl looks at her Pokéball. "Oh, good job Sparkles," Ayah says, moving to embrace the fossil as it trundles back, "That usually doesn't happen. I'm proud of you." She looks up at the three guys. "Thanks for the battle, it was a great start."
Porygon Faints from barrage. Exeggcute takes 43 damage and 3 injuries from Powder Snow.
Each of you gains 2 TXP and 65 EXP for this battle.

Kai gives a very weak grin at the girls that won the fight. He wasn't really as disappointed he lost, more than worried about how hurt Keahi was. He had returned her immediately when she went down and had been pacing since she had gone down. Finally, now that it was over he was eager to head to the Center as fast as possible. "Y-yeah, you girls really pack a punch, I'm really worried about Keahi so uh... I'm probably gonna run on ahead, sorry I wasn't much of a challenge!"
Kai goes to run off toward the Center, dead set on getting Keahi attention as fast as he possibly can. His smile being replaced with worry as he turns from the groups and goes off.

"Yer welcome Miss Ayah, I'd be much obliged for a rematch any time. I learned plenty from this too. You did great Six. Not many Pokemon could've come out with two knockouts with them odds, have a rest." Theodore recalled his Pokemon. "Evelyn, Ruby, it were a pleasure." With a pinch and a gentle tug down on the brim of his hat, Theodore started off towards the Pokemon center. It took a great deal of concentration to maintain his footing, but he manages it.
There was no sense in bragging. Grace in winning as well as losing. His posture slackened, and his eyes lost that sharp look as his hands found his pockets. What a day, what -a day-! Got a mega stone and had his first real battle with the boys. It was a loss, but a friendly one at least. To a cute girl no less! He felt his ears burn at the thought, his smile nearly reaching them, and then, finally, he tripped.

Cole walks up to Evelyn with his hand held out once more, the self confident smirk back on his face after a few moments of shock at how quickly Habenero had fallen "We'll have to battle again sometime, maybe next time you can show me those skills you were talking about. I think we both know how this would have went in a one on one." He winks, knowing deep down he only lost because he hadn't attacked the same target as Kai. It wasn't because Habenero was weak, it was him who made a poor decision. But poor decisions were to be learned from "I'll tell you what. Let's meet up again in Petalburg in four days. We can battle again after getting our first badges and we'll see if today was just a fluke, on both our parts?"
He looked back towards the other two and called over his shoulder "Does that sound ok to you both? Meeting back up with the girls in Petalburg in four days?"
By the time he looked back, they were both gone, and he winced to himself, before turning back to the green haired girl "Alright, executive decision. I'll see you there. Looking forward to it Miss Mitsuru"

"Whoops, need a hand there?" comes a voice from above Theodore. It seems he isn't quite as alone as he thought. "Careful, don't want to need you patched up along with our Pokémon." It looks like Ayah and Ruby had the same idea as him and Kai (though the latter'd run on ahead) to heal at the Center.
Evelyn had held back some, to talk with Cole. "We'll be there. Although," she returns the smirk, "that seems like an awful long time to get to Petalburg, given how close it is. I bet we'll have the Gym done by then. And I assure you, today was a fluke. Maddie won't go down so fast next time." She begins to walk off.
It's not that far to the Center, and soon, everyone's there. The attendant looks a little bit surprised at the sudden influx of people, given how he was just busy reading a book behind the counter, but soon everyone's Pokémon are beginning to be taken care of. There's a Mart next door for stocking up on common items, some food in the back (not great food, mind you), and places to rest. Seems everyone'll be here for a little bit after the beating, so it'll give some time to talk if people want, or just rest alone until the 'mon are all healed.

Kai gives a sigh of relief, taking a seat as he does, happy and relieved that Keahi was in good hands now. With time to think and breath, the disappointment of losing the battle finally hit him. He glanced around the Center now that he had no worries and saw everyone else. After a moment of thinking to himself on the beach, he waved at his teammates and called them over.
"Hey, Wanna talk guys? We kinda rushed off and didn't get a chance before the girls beat us to a pulp!" He gave the two a sheepish grin as he called them, trying to play off that the loss bothered him by acting like it was no big deal.

After handing over his Quilava to be healed, Cole headed back towards Kai and Theodore, though he kept looking over at the girls with a look of determination. "Well yeah, I guess we did. We know where each other are from, but that's about it."
He leaned back in a chair, almost tipping before catching himself, and placed his arms behind his head "So why did you both sign up for this? What's your endgoal?"

"Thanks Miss Ruby." Theodore offered sheepishly, dusting off his vest and straightening his collar. "Not uh... Not the best at keeping my feet under me." He admitted with a great deal of embarrassment, accompanying her and Ayah the rest of the way to the center without tripping again. It was an awful humbling thing, but it happened so often he was used to it by now. Once in the center, Kai was excitedly flagging his attention. He gave Ruby and Ayah both a polite nod and a shy smile, the scent of cactus flowers much more noticeable indoors. "Thanks for the battle ladies, be seeing you."
Magnificent Six being tended by the nurse, Theodore too wandered over to Kai and Cole. He was pretty ambivalent to the whole thing, loss was a part of growth, there was no sense in crying about it. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked Kai with a great deal of uncertainty before Cole replied. "Oh, that. Never get nowhere without taking chances." He replies vaguely and shrugs his shoulders.

"Traveling and becoming an adult is a bit of an Alolan tradition, typically we do it when we're 11, but when I moved here I found out you guys only let that happen a little later" Kai scratches the back of his head and chuckles a bit as he explains that. "I was a little disappointed that I couldn't start my journey right away, and the minute I heard about this... well it was the perfect excuse to get started."
"That's about it, though I admit, getting closer to Keahi and making the most of our friendship does sound really cool... I wonder what Kiawe would think?" Kai grinned to himself as he thought about Kiawe's face when he showed off what he and Keahi will do, having a bit of a daydream in the middle of talking.

Cole looked a little confused and nodded along "Got it, so you're both here just for the journey. Well I can get behind that I guess."
He snapped his fingers as he remembered something "Oh by the way, I made us a little date with the girls from earlier. We're gonna meet them in Petalburg in four days for anther battle, preferably after we get our first gym badge! I couldn't just NOT challenge them again, not after we almost won. We just need to work together a bit more I think. So yeah, I hope that's alright with the both of you." He chuckled nervously as he looked at his new companions.

"Maybe next time ask before you go roping me into anything, specially the path we're taking. I got a thing against being voluntold." Theodore's resting expression was now a deepening frown as he gave Cole a very long stare, the sort that was intended to make the receiving party very uncomfortable. He broke it off before too long. "They are mighty nice though." He admitted in an upbeat, thoughtful tone.

Kai shook himself out of his daydream as he realized something was said. He barely caught the word voluntold..? Besides being confused over the word, he gave a confused glance to Cole, wondering if he knew what voluntold meant. Deciding that maybe that was rude to ask right now, he focused on what he thought the conversation was about. "Uh, yeah, I guess they're nice..."
He scratched the back of his head as he thought about them, his opinion being a bit mixed, especially at the moment...as well as the impression they left him with. "I don't really think they really noticed me all that much? I don't think any of them talked directly to me once the whole time we were talking...

Cole raised an eyebrow at Theo, his smirk back in full "Alright, I'll make sure not to set up any more chances for you to get close to cute girls. It'll be all business from here on out." He chuckled and then looked over at Kai "Huh did they not? I was kinda just caught up with that green haired chick Evelyn, so I didn't notice. Nothing gets me more fired up than someone who thinks that their name should carry more weight than their actions. So what if her dad is one of the Elite Four, it doesn't mean jack on the battlefield" His voice had raised as he spoke and he continued to get more and more fired up before shaking his head "But yeah, I guess I hadn't noticed them not talking to you. I don't think the red head spoke to any of us though."
"Anyways, I'll make it up to you by making breakfast and dinner every day we're on the road between here and Petalburg, deal?"

"It helps if you speak up, and project." Theodore coached Kai, before stretching with a grunt. "I don't need nobody's help getting the girl, Ayah and I got along great, an Ruby even helped me up. Once Six is cleared to go, we should mosey. I've been sitting around way too long today, getting antsy. Hours in the lab, now again here." He shakes his head after the quip. "Four days ain't much time to change an outcome."

Kai raises an eyebrow at Theo, before grinning mischievously before practically yelling, "I don't think my volume is an issue!" He gave himself a chuckle after, scratching the back of his head sheepishly as he knows he attracted some stares from that. Oh well, it's worth it to make a joke!
After chuckling for maybe a moment to long, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something. "Oh yeah! You asked what foods Keahi likes! Tofu is a big thing she likes, I think mom said it's astrin... Astringent? Something like that~"

"Hmm I don't think I've ever actually made Tofu before, but I'm sure I can figure it out. I'm mostly used to making really hot things, and sweets." Cole said after wincing a little as Kai yelled out. Maybe randomly yelling was a thing they did in Alola, he wasn't sure but he sure wasn't going to ask.
"Anyways, when I grab some more cash for higher quality ingredients, I'll make a special meal for all of us and our Pokemon! It should boost our morale and give us a bit more of an edge the next time we battle." He craned his neck to look over towards the counter "Speaking of the next time we battle, how much longer until they're done I wonder. Theo isn't the only one who wants to go, I'm itching to get on the road too"

Theodore gently dug his index finger in his ear and gave Kai a sideways look. "....Yeah. You're right. Gotta have more presence, less volume." He tugged the brim of his hat down and reclined in the waiting chair. "Wake me when our boys are good to go."

The raised volume gets a Look from the attendant, but he doesn't actually say anything since they seem to quiet down after, at least not until their Pokémon are healed.
The instant that the 'mon are healed, Evelyn immediately heads for the road, basically dragging the others along. It seems that she wants to be first to Petalburg. Big surprise.
Once the group's all ready to leave themselves, the route to Oldale awaits. The path itself is fairly large, but away from the road it swiftly becomes tall wild grasses, soon turning into light forests. Sticking to the path probably would be safer (and swifter), but going deeper into the wilderness would be more likely to encounter wild Pokémon.

"Alright! Time for some adventure guys! We have like four days to burn so.... Hunt for some Pokemon?" Kai grinned as he stretched, making a popping sound once as he overextends on his knuckles a bit to much, shaking his hands afterwards before stretching his legs a bit.
"I have a preference for Fire types myself, how about you guys?" Kai looks back at the group now, ready to set forth honestly , but wanting to be considerate of what others want.

Before they had even made it out of the city Cole chuckled as he watched Evelyn drag her group off at full speed. He didn't need to beat here there, not since he would beat her once he got there. The rematch would be different.
Once they hit the road, Cole cocked his head as Kai spoke and then let out a momentary laugh "I'm also a specialist in Fire types. When I was in school they told us it was best to pick something to focus on in our training. I noticed Habenero was especially fiery and worked on stoking his flames. But I'll train just about anything really. You never know what you're going to face after all."
As they walked, he let his gaze wander to the tree tops and the sky. If Evelyn was going to keep facing him, maybe picking up something strong against that Riolu wouldn't be the worst idea....
