Zach grins, leaning on the counter and mock-whispering to the girls. "So when she's DONE conquering the entire league, Adri wants to be a pokemon professor. I think she'll have no problems, what do you guys think?"

"Oh,shush, you" said a slightly flustered and embarrassed Adri. "It's not like opening a restaurant and making the best in the region is any less ambitious"

"My, ambitious youngsters these days. Well I'm sure you can do it." The lady responds. The girls seem flabbergasted at the idea of all of that.

Adri giggled at the girls's gawking faces.
"Come on, don't be shy! you can take a look at my drawings if you want. I'm almost done with Molly here. Only a couple details around the ears and I'll be able to sign and call it finished"

As Adri finishes Molly the girls gather around the woman looking through the sketchpad. After a bit longer she finishes, returning a freshly groomed Molly and Molly's picture and receiving her sketchbook back. "You are quite the talented artist." The lady says as she fishes the payment out of her purse. "Did you really see ALL of those Pokémon?" Lily asks.

Zach grinned, rubbing the back of his head, a bit shy at the woman's vote of confidence. "Thanks! I still have a lot of work to do though... Cass is still a Cyndaquil, and I think I need her to be a Typhlosion to keep up with demand, as well as evolving my Combee into a Vespiquen so she can have her own following... There's still a LOT of work I have to do. Plus I still need to buy a new knife." He looks at his current knife, frowning. It was a wonderful, beautiful knife, but it was starting to get worn. Maybe he'd have to invest in a sharpener soon?

Adri gave a warm smile.
"Thank you! I try my best"
She then turned to Lily.
"Indeed I have. I both of my parents have pokemon of their own, and we've been travelling for a week and a half or so. I try to draw when I can, but it's been hectic"
She suddenly had an idea.
"So-" she said. "-Want to meet some of my pokemon?"

Lily's eyes light up. "More of your Pokémon? Are they as cute as the fluffy black one?" she indicates Aeron, who is still watching them from under the table.

Adri giggled.
"Some of them are. Tyrell, Ily, where are you?" she says and soon enough Tyrell flies in from one of the support beams that hold the stand's tent. Ilyanna pokes her head from under the table drowsily and baahs before walking to stand beside her trainer. Adri then releases Geoff, Cormag and Taima (the Rotom) from their pokeballs.
"These are six of my pokemon: Aeron is the Zorua here; Tyrell is the Nobat with a fondness for my head; Ilyanna is the Mareep, which I wouldn't hug since she stores her electricity in her wool; Geoff is a Togetic, the evolved form of Togepi; Cormag is the Abra and Taima is my new Rotom" she listed off.

Zach, noticing Adri's showing off, releases most of his current party as well. Cass hops up on the counter from under his wok, letting the metal cool. Liz lazily float nearby, looking a bit sleepy, as if she'd been napping before this. Frisk pops out on the ground nearby, playing with Evelyn, who'd run up and circled him a few times, curious about her new friend! Nat keeps her distance, ever the cool one, and sits at attention, her eyes roaming over all the pokemon and the new humans.
"These are five of mine. You've all met Cass, who helps me with my cooking." The cyndaquil lets out a yawn, settling down for a bit of a break. "The hermit is Frisk, one of my best fighters, and Evelyn, the Eevee, is my contest pokemon. Nat, the houndour, is a pokemon I met recently, and she's also going to be on my league team. Last but not least is Liz, who makes honey and will be instrumental in the creation of my shop!" The pokemon all make happy greeting noises, save for Nat, who just sits there stoically. Too cool to be friendly and all that.

Adri notices that several of the other store owners appear to be throwing glares in their direction, and in the direction of the now rather full thoroughfare. The girls are excitedly looking over the Pokémon though. Brook gives Nat a nod of stoic approval. Lily is hunkering down to try and pet Evelyn. Anita is holding her arm out toward Tyrell, beckoningly. Taima seems to be scanning he place for something...

Adri looked at Taima and made a decision.
"Tyrell, darling, Dan is not around so you can relax a bit. Go play with Anita a bit, okay?" she said, and the Noibat hesitantly took flight to hover in front of Anita in curiosity.
She then turned to Taima and pulled out her pokedex and one of her hairdryers.
"As for you... I don't really have a vessel for you at the time, if that's what you're looking for. I can offer my pokedex or a hairdryer. Your choice" she said, dead serious.
Aeron, Ilyanna and Geoff both moved to stand around their trainer in case the Rotom tried anything. Cormag stayed slowly levitating at the stand counter.

Taima looks disinterestedly at those options, then spots a barbecue stand and starts floating off towards it, with some speed.

Adri quickly triggered Taima's pokeball and recalled it.
"I'm gonna have to have a talk with Taima about acceptable vessels and property sometime soon, I guess" she said "Anyways, I should go back to manning my stand"

Zach grins, watching his pokemon interact with people and each other. Nat seems pleased that her stoicness was noticed, and returns the nod, rather subtly. Evelyn not only allows Lily to pet her, but pounces up, practically leaping into her arms! Frisk is a little saddened by this, until Zach leans down to give the little bug some affection. "I think it'll be a while before you can jump into people's arms, buddy. I'll carry you around, if you'd like though." He grins down at his pokemon, happy that Frisk didn't seem too upset by yesterday. He'd really startled the little bug, and he needed to make amends for that. Maybe a bath or something? Did rock types even like baths? This might be harder than he initially thought.

"How do you even look after all of these?" Anita asks, having been quieter the last while.

Adri gave the girl a sweet smile.
"Really good time management. I'd say I have it the hardest since I have around fifteen pokemon training every day, with a fair amount of extras. It's all about keeping a well-organized schedule and making the most of your time, really"

Zach thinks for a moment, giving Cass a scritch behind the ear. "Bonding time while we are on the road, some training, but I can't look after all of them all the time, which is why I want to get my shop set up sooner rather than later. No silly 'Six Pokemon Limit' to worry about if it's in my own home... Oh, I suppose I'll have to get a ranch license too, for the Miltanks and the Combee sections." He nodded, making a mental note to look into that process when he had time.
"Are you guys hungry? I could whip you up a quick something to eat and you could play with one of my pokemon while you eat or after. There's a nice little picnic spot not too far away, and Adri and I could keep an eye on you guys." He grins, glad to be having the conversation. He's never talked to anyone his own age for this long except Adri and Danny! Conner was a good guy, but Zach wasn't always sure how to approach him. And Celeste was still pretty new so they hadn't had much time to actually sit down and talk. Would she even be coming with them? He'd have to make sure the group asked her...

"Well I have to be home for dinner soon" Anita says "Yeah me too." Lily follows "Me three." Brook finishes. "Maybe on the weekend? We're more free then." Anita asks

Adri nodded.
"Sure! Here, take my number. If we're still here Saturday I'll text you three and we can meet up"
That gave Adri an idea. She filed for Lucio's contact and quickly typed down a text.
'Hey, at what time do you have your contest? I'd love to go watch it'
