He shakes his head. "Honestly, I'm used to people jostling me when I randomly stop in the middle of a hall or something. Being poked in the cheek is out of the ordinary, so it startled me. That's what I get though." He moves out of the way. "Sorry if I was blocking your path or anything, Miss."

"Blocking my path to..." Yue suddenly remembers where she was going. "That's right! I was on the way to the infirmary to heal my Pokemon! Ugh...Why does healing have to be so expensive there..."

"Well, the Healers need to be able to purchase the resources they need to heal your Pokemon somehow, don't they? Those resources don't just grow on trees, after all."

"Er, not entirely, no. The plants and other remedies needed for healing grow in many different places in the wild, and depending on the needs of a particular group, say The Adventurer's Guild, simply cultivating the plants in-house may not be enough. I can understand the pains of being tight on money, but isn't it worth it to make sure your poke-friends are happy and healthy as often as is possible?"

"It is, but it makes it harder to get Apricorns to get new friends is all...I wonder how they make apricorns anyways..."

"They grow them, of course. An Apricorn is a plant seed. They grow on trees. I've heard that masters of the art of making Apricorn Balls can make extra special ones from different colored Apricorns, but I've only ever seen the generic kind you see in stores. As for the cost of them making it 'difficult to get new friends', doesn't that just make it all the more special when you do make a new Pokemon friend? Additionally, you can always befriend Wild Pokemon without capturing them, and then visit on occasion."

"Hmmm...Alex-nii-chan can grow stuff so I could ask him about that..." Yue mutters to herself before returning her attention to the guy. "Do you know anyone who can teach me how to make Apricorn Balls from Apricorns?"

He thinks for a minute. "Hmmm. Can't say that I do, no. Sorry. I mostly just study Spinda. My sisters all battle and raise Eevee, yet they think I'm the weird one. What is so fascinating about Eevee anyway? Okay, they can turn into a bunch of different things depending on how they're raised, but Spinda.. Spinda are just so much more amazing!" He goes on for several minutes about what he feels are fascinating anecdotes and bits of info about Spinda. Their spot patterns, how each moves just a little bit differently than another, etc.

Yue looks at him blankly throughout the entire speech, processing what's she heard. Then she grabs his shoulders. "Did you say...that your sisters raise Eevees?! Can you please, please, pleeeeassse introduce me to them?!" Yue says, staring straight into his eyes.

He takes a moment to wait for the message to sink in, then sighs. "I suppose I could...everyone always wants the eevees." He jots down an address. "Meet me here two days from now and I'll introduce you. Just you though. Nobody else. It's going to be difficult enough to convince them to meet anyone personally."

"Okay! Thank you, Mister!" Yue says, hugging the guy then running off to the infirmary. She pays 200 to bring her Pokemon up to full health before heading to the cafeteria to look for the others.

Yue looks at him and blinks. "No, I do not believe so...The only strange phenomena I am currently experiencing is an extraordinary sense of serenity."
Yue blinked, somewhat surprised at the her chose of words. "Oh my, it would appear that my vocabulary has been affected as well." She said, considering what the cause could be.

"Well, that's..er.. something." Eric remarks. "If you're not physically injured, and feel no different sans this 'extraordinary sense of serenity', then mayhaps we should get you back to the Guild and someone with more occult knowledge than I. There seems naught more I can do for you besides that."
The Espeon glances at Eric briefly, and he glares at it. "No, dropping her on her head again is not a smart idea!" He proclaims to the Sun Pokemon. "And was it truly necessary to do so in the first place?" The Espeon's eyes seem to shimmer with mirth even as Eric heaves an exasperated sigh. Apparently, it isn't ashamed of its actions or something. "If you're ready, Yue, let's depart. Espeon won't truly harm us, but that won't stop it from driving me mad with my sister's dry sense of humor."
As you walk back, Eric comments that while he doesn't feel this sudden change in Yue's personality is necessarily a bad thing, the fact it came unbidden and from sources unknown (not to mention what happened shortly before that) means it should still be investigated by those knowledgeable in such things.

"Now, now, I am certain that is nothing worth such disconcert, but if you believe it is best to confer with someone with greater expertise, then who am I to say otherwise? I must say I am quite disheartened that I was unable to so much as lay eyes on an Eevee as I had intended, but there is always tomorrow yes?" Yue said, put her hand on her cheek and sighing. If she were wearing a proper dress instead of the stealth uniform she current wore, she would most likely look like the very definition of a gentle young noblewoman.

Eric shrugs. "It's my fault for forgetting I had invited you. Had I been there to vouch for you, perhaps we could have avoided the whole incident." He begins. "Which I do apologize for, by the way. It may not be my Pokemon, but 'twas I who sent you there in the first place. Perhaps I merely assumed that one or more of my sisters may be at home to investigate the 'Espeon Alarm' as we've come to call it. Alas, such seems not to have been the case." He escorts Yue back to the infirmary, where her friends still lie (mostly) unconscious.
Brooke seems to have only recently awoken, and looks quite confused. Eric suggests Yue stay here while he seeks out one of the staff here.

(Insert Yue's ramblings here.)
Before Yue can get much past her introduction, the man holds up a hand to stop her. "Did you say your name was Yue? How strange... and you claim that your 'father' kept you in chains? Was your 'father's' name Augustus, by chance?"

"How did you know that? Are you psychic? I've never met a human psychic before! What am I thinking about right now?" Yue thinks about raindow colored Petilils.

He chuckles a bit. "No, I am not psychic. That man was also not your real father. I am. My name is Shinobi Ravenbrandt." A voice whispers in Yue's ear, telling her that his name is actually just 'Steve'. Ignoring this, 'Shinobi' continues his introductions, revealing Mystery Girl #1 is named Tue, and Mystery Girl #2 (who is mysteriously right beside Yue now) is named Nue.

"Eh...?" Yue tilts her head, unable to process this information at first. After about ten seconds, the revealation finally sinks in, causing Yue to fling herself at Shinobi and wrap her arms around him. "Daddy!" She shouts, burying her face into his chest.
