Cole just nods along and walks off towards the Center. Fine. That's about as well as he expected that to go.
He sighed as he rounded a corner. He just didn't get it. Why hadn't they fallen asleep. Why were they able to fight her off when no one else could. And why. WHY. Couldn't she remember it.
This journey was gonna be a weird one...

"What? Naw, I meant the Devon offices or whatever, wasn't just about a scuffle with you girls. Errand will kill some time while our Pokemon recover, but I ain't got two in any shape for a bout today, just one. She's delicate though, wouldn't wanna put her through more after that last bit." Theo chewed on his lip. "Weird, weird day. Ain't never expected the likes of it."

"What?" Ruby asks, confused. "No, uh, the Devon offices aren't here," she corrects, "they're over in Rustboro. Still, like, a two day trip away. If you're concerned about your Pokémon all being rested up, you won't want to travel. Would probably be good to put things off until tomorrow."
"Fiiiine," Evelyn grumbles. "I hate saying it, but, yeah, after today, it's probably a good idea. It has been a weird, weird day. At least it's... well, okay, hopefully the weird stuff's over. We've still got a good half of the day left to go."
"Well, we can just wait here for Cole," Ayah offers, "and then go out and find, like, something fun to do until dinner. Something that doesn't involve battling? Or forests?"
The journey may have been set to be weird, but the walk back to the Center is perfectly ordinary. Cole's able to meet up with the others, seeming to be in conversation about plans for the day.
After some debate, and then some wandering about town, eventually it was settled on bowling after an alley was spotted. It was a good way to take peoples' minds off battling. The balls weren't even Pokéball themed! There was still some competition, though, admittedly, mostly from Evelyn. Probably a bit too much. She does offer to pay for the group eating at a bit better place than Center food afterwards, though.
And, with that, and some time to relax after dinner, the day ends.
Waking up the next morning reveals... things being left exactly the same as when going to sleep. No forest. No crazy(er than normal) people. Just sun, and a bustling city.
"So," Evelyn asks, upon the trio coming downstairs, "ready to finally do this today? Hope you didn't get rusty after that day of rest," she teases.

"I mean we had practice yesterday morning saving the city. Unlike a certain someone who got taken out before the fight even started." Cole says confidently, standing proud even though there are still marks on his neck from where the trees had tried to strangle him.
He had agreed with everyone else to take the pieces to be analyzed instead of to the police, especially because he knew they wouldn't believe him. His encounter with Casimir had soured him on the idea of any authority figure trusting his word. Whatever, their loss.

"...Cole, you and Theo got caught in the vines as well." Kai's fine with the rivalry they have brewing, but he wished it was a bit more civil... That said, Evelyn always seems eager to fight him back. Kai's face twisted in thought for a moment, an idea brewing in his head before he remembered to actually talk about the subject at hand.
"I'm fine with the battle, but I'd like to get a little training in first, we didn't get to do any yesterday, and I don't wanna fall out of routine!"

"Kept my feet." Theodore stated brusquely and tugged his hat down to try to shadow the welling blush on his cheeks. He wasn't the type for uproar or indignation. Turning his attention to Ayah, he holds up two Pokeballs. "Ah know you aren't much fer fightin, but I hope you'll honor me with a rematch ma'am. The last one was somethin special."

"It was just bad luck," Evelyn retorts, "if any of you were standing in my position, it would have been different." "Okay, uh… let's just, move on, shall we?" Ayah asks, looking a little uncomfortable with all the fighting, before turning to Theo. "Well, I said I'd do it. And, it's not that battling isn't fun… it's just when it gets to be the most important thing." "Yeah, save it all for the battle, you two," Ruby says. "Training's a good idea, though. Work up some enthusiasm, and all."The two groups split up for an hour to get some training in, before coming back together at one of the clearly well-used arenas at the back of the Center. "Alright, so, two 'mon apiece this time?" Evelyn asks. "At the very least, it'll be a better showing." She calls out a Ralts onto the battlefield, much like the one Theo had. "You don't need to always be so competitive," Ayah pouts, before releasing a snowy Vulpix at her feet and giving it a pat. "Okay, Snowdrop. I need you to be strong now. I know we've only known each other for a day, but we have a battle now. But, don't worry. I'll still love you no matter what happens.""Guess we're showing off our new acquisitions first," Ruby says. " I won't be the one to break the trend. Let's go, Sylph, show 'em what you've got." She releases a little pink egg-shaped creature - a Happiny - that waves its 'fists' cutely in the air, not really getting the air of 'fighter' across. MapRelease anywhere on the left side of the center line.

Kai looks a bit sheepish as he sends out his own Keokeo. It's always a bit embarrassing to use the same Pokemon as your opponent, especially when they sent their own out first. Plus, the little Alolan fox needed to get some experience fighting, because yesterday showed it wasn't ready for whatever Holly was considered. "C'mon Coronet! Time for your first real battle!" The white fox looked a little perplexed on being summoned into the arena, looking clueless and definitely not ready for a fight at first, but the fox got itself together after it heard Kai encourage it. Coronet: 12

Theodore squinted at Evelyn's Ralts. "Oh, you caught one o'them lil ladies too? They're right shy, but Belle is good company. Aright Fred, ye're gonna be the frontrunner this time." Theodore releases the orange and black dog with it's slightly scruffy appearance and tufts of cream. "I'll try to make a better showing this time, won't do to hang back and let the other two take all the abuse. Saddle up Fred."
(Theodore gives Brutal Orders as a Swift Action, and Binds Trick Shot as a standard. Fred acts on Initiative 4.)

" Guess I won't be the only one not to show off someone new." Cole says while tossing his Pokeball out and releasing Cayanne. The Vulpix looks at its white cousin standing across from her and bristles her fur " Time to show that Hab isn't the only one with heat" Cole gave a Spicy Wrap to both Cayanne and Habenero before the fight. He's going to use Brutal Training as an Orders.
Cayanne acts on Init 12

"'Little ladies?'" Evelyn scoffs, "I'll have you know, Ajax is going to grow up into a big strong Gallade. Just because they may look feminine, doesn't mean they're like Florges or Blissey." She shakes her head, tsking. Coronet and Cayanne are up first.

Kai points at the Happiny, it was the only one in range that didn't resist, so it seemed the proper target. "Stay cautious and focused as you strike, Coronet!"Coronet took a second to register the order, eyes locking onto the Happiny as it crept closer to it, stopping quite a bit away before charging icy energy in it's maw, unleashing the frozen current at the Happiny! ... No it flew quite wide and hit nothing, was Coronet even aiming? Kai Uses Focused Training
Coronet uses Freeze Dry Critical Fail, Misses

" Aww looks like someone wants to be just like daddy" Cole says with a laugh " That's alright. I'll beat you just the same as I'll beat him! Cayanne, melt your cousin over there!" The Vulpix pranced forward before letting off a shot of fire with a bit more accuracy than her teammate had. Though there wasn't too much force behind it.

"You leave my father out of this!" Evelyn says, forcefully. "He is a far better Trainer then you will ever be! Shut them down, Ajax." The Ralts murmurs a little bit, making a little bit of a praying gesture, before a slivery light encompasses it and the girls' other two Pokémon. Cayanne's flames wash over the snowy Vulpix and... it yips a little but otherwise doesn't seem to be terribly fazed. Snow begins to swirl around it, helping to conceal it from view, before a barrage of energy erupts back at the fire fox, causing some damage. Ralts uses Lucky Chant. Coronet misses. Cayenne hits with Ember. It's super effective! Ayah binds Polar Vortex to Snowdrop. Cayanne takes 17 damage from Secret Power.

"Aright Fred, let's get up and cover Cayenne and lay into Ruby's weird... HEY RUBY, WHAT'S YER ROUND THING CALLED?" Theodore yelled across the battlefield. "WAIT A SEC, NE'ERMIND!" He follows up, fumbling with his Pokedex. How did you even get this thing open? Cp1MbX|F1d20-2 Ember Vs. Happiny (Burns on 16+, Crits on 15+) 2d6+29 Fire Special

The Happiny cries a little at the intense flames, but powers through, the Ralts' shimmering energy absorbing the worst of the impact. It seems to absorb the fire into itself, though, and expels it at Coronet... but it goes wide. "Well, that's unfortunate," Ruby comments. "Let me show you how it's done," Evelyn says, "Take out the center one, Ajax. Clearly it's the more powerful of the three there." She says this pointedly at Cole. The Ralts blinks forwards slightly, before unleashing a psychic bolt at the Growlithe, hitting straight on. It's not enough to really slow the dog down, though. Fred hits and Burns with Ember. A critical hit! Happiny spends a charge of Lucky Chant to negate the Critical. Ruby uses Brutal Training. Happiny uses Copycat on Fred. Happiny uses Ember... but it misses. Happiny takes an injury from Burn.
Evelyn Tags Fred, and uses Brutal Training on Ralts. Fred takes 19 damage from Confusion.

Ignoring Evelyn and focusing on the fight, Cole barks out at Cayanne " Dash in a bit closer and let loose on that egg thing! Scramble it and lets make an omelette!" The Vulpix moves deeper into enemy territory before loosing another flame back towards the Happiny. Ember on Happiny

"Coronet, get it together! If you focus we can do amazingly!" Kai hope they did at least. He got a little more enthused after what he saw next. Coronet swiftly danced out of the way of the flames, picking up some speed and getting more into the flow as it gt used to the battle. It kept spinning until it moved where it wanted, lining up and firing off a blast of snow in a line.

The fire and ice barrage the Happiny in turn, knocking it out before it can really even react again. Ayah doesn't seem to know what to do with the two other foxes advancing on hers and Evelyn's Ralts, but Snowdrop appears to know, firing off another barrage of energy at the flaming Vulpix. It seems to be incensed at the Happiny's falling, because it's even more ferocious than the last time, causing its fiery counterpart to fall to the ground. Or maybe it's just trying to one-up Coronet. "Oh, uh..." Ayah says, "Wow. Good job, Snowdrop..."Cayanne hits with Ember. Happiny takes an injury and Faints from Powder Snow. Ayah uses Brutal Training. Cayanne takes 36 damage, 3 injuries, is Paralyzed, and Faints from Secret Power. A Critical Hit!

Theodore finally gets his Dex working and studies the screen for a moment before taking an image of the downed Happiny, scanning it, and listening to the mechanical reply from the device. Nodding, he directed Fred's attention at Snowcone. "Ayah is a credit to her team like always, but we can't leave a pretty fox to be putting out so much hurt, Fred, give'er a Fire Fang!"
