The Flareon gives Whoopie a betrayed look, dripping and sopping, before laying down with it's paws over it's muzzle, laying still, large reddish brown eyes closed. The Vaporeon weathers both attacks with little difficulty, and turns its spray on Hope. FZ3LbvuF1d20 Water Gun Vs. Hope 2d6+21 Water Special 2d6+8 Critical

It seems for a moment like Hope might be able to weather the storm, but, it is not to be, unfortunately. The insect falls, whom Thel hastily recalls. Well... it's all up to the others now. He did what he could...

Gasp! How horrifyingly powerful! That waterblast was strong, too strong for bugs! But no fear entered Muku's heart. Goldsire had this. "Alright Woopie!

Omega looks at Thel and shrugs " Muku, Kursz, and Omega went to the burned tower last night and saw Thel and Em at the top of the other tower. We didn't say anything because you looked like you were busy" Turning his attention back to the fight, he points once more at the Vaporeon " Pup, show them YOUR power of water!" Which causes the Dewpider to stumbled forward and almost trip as it bashes its bubbled head into the Vaporeon. Pup uses Bubble as a melee move because Aqua Bubble.

"Ah, oh..." Thel replies to Omega, flushing a little. He's not quite sure of exactly how to respond to that. Because that was a private moment... some parts more private than others. So, he supposes that he'll just assume that Omega means the looking out over the town and talking. That'll make him feel better. Probably.

The continuous barrage of attacks seems to be too much for the Vaporeon and to Omega and Muku's horror it completely liquifies under the assault... before reforming in a slumped position a moment later. Ophelia casts a sideways glance at the Vaporeon's trainer who smiles and rolls her eyes a little. "Well done, this was a big step to take in a day." She offered with a genuine smile, as the other girls recalled their Pokemon and went back to their duties. Reverently sliding out of Omega's coat, she folded it before offering it to him.
"I hand washed it, to get the road dirt and grass stains from the leather. A garment that is well cared for lasts much longer." She also hands each trainer a small wad of paper bills, bound by a pale stretchy band. "A Kimono is meant for entertaining, and for women of poise. It would not serve you well for fighting, running, climbing, or flying." A small sad smile accompanies the statement. "If you still desire them, I will see it done. Please join us for lunch."
Omega, Muku, and Thel receive 3,000 PYEN each, a Hearty Meal buff for the day, and 1 Milestone for winning their first trainer battle.
Your Pokemon receive 200 Pxp to split between them, with a maximum level of 15.

"Thank you," Thel says, carefully pocketing everything. The food was great, and it filled him up (still such a surprising thing), but there was still something niggling at him. Hope wasn't able to enjoy any of this.
"So, uh," he ventures, still a little afraid of speaking out of turn, "really, I didn't do much. Hope was the one who really pushed herself, I'm not that good at the whole 'Training' bit, especially compared to these two." He gestures to Omega and Muku. "And I feel bad just enjoying all of this while she has to heal... is there anything that you might be able suggest to make it up to her, since she really was the one who put in all the effort?"

With a flourish, Omega puts on the jacket that was presented to him. He almost frowned as the dirt and grime he had worked so hard to get onto it were gone. But maybe Ophelia had a point. He moved his upper half down in a show of respect, at least he thinks thats how it works, showing the back of your neck in a sign of trust, or something like that.
"Wait winning gets us our things back, more things, and food?" Omega says with wide eyes "Why is everyone not a Challenger. Getting things for fighting and being strong, but not having to risk your life. It's like paradise"
He looked at Thel and Muku with a wide grin "We could handle them, I'm sure we will be able to handle Morty as well. We can become licensed. I believe in us"

"Muku doesn't really want your clothes anymore. Muku thinks that sometimes Muku just speaks, but Muku doesn't really think about thinking, she really just sort of says it right out, because if it's on your mind then why hide it, you may as well just say it and let it exist in the air and eventually trail off into nothing, like a warm spring breeze." She says, punctuating her rant with a curt nod. Most of what she had just said was pointless, but it made her feel involved and that was the important part. She pauses to stuff her face a little bit before continuing.
"Muku… Is happy with how we did in this battle. Oh! And the old tower too. This is all so very hard to get used to, but bit by bit Muku think's she's getting an understanding on how things work. So, so. Even when we do Battle Morty, Muku thinks it's going to be ok because... Because it's going to be O.K because Muku said so!"

"Oh, you mean poffins? It's a sort of sponge cake made out of Pokeblocks, they are made with berries. I can get you one for each of your Pokemon if you'd like, but we only have Beauty Poffins, if that's alright." The older woman offers, giving Thel a small nod.
"Things only get harder Omega, this was just a battle for fun. I've been told deeper into the league, more trainers are like you, fiercely competitive and thirsty for victory. Winning does come with rewards, but she was only required to give you back your coat. Everything else was just them being nice." Em explained softly to the boy. (Intuition Check if you would like.)
"That you had fun, and feel more confident is the most important part Muku, I wish you luck and..." A pause as she seemed to search for something poignant. "And a strong tailwind at your back."

"Oh, those sound delicious... I'm sure that they'd love those," Thel says. "But... I'd feel bad asking for more than you've already given. I am curious, though, you say 'Beauty' Poffins? Are there other kinds? I mean, Hope and Serenity are plenty lovely, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind being given treats for beautiful Pokémon."
He looks at Em. "I think what you've said will only drive him forwards more. I, on the other hand... don't know how well I'd fare against people like that." He does give Em a questioning glance at how she's acting, but he doesn't want to push her. Especially not in front of many other people.

A tailwind against your back. Muku's soft, amused expression quickly gives way to a tight bemused one. Other birds said that on rare, rare occasions. She could only think of a handful of times where someone would say something like that. Those words were said before battle, when the flock was splitting because it was too big, and when someone was... Ready. Eyes full of thought, she looks at Em carefully to glean any sort of intent from her eyes.
She was staying here, wasn't she? Muku didn't know that for certain, but she was here all yesterday and even now she seemed like she was trying to understand these humans here a little better. Maybe that's what Em needed to do. Her own battle, her own split, her own first step in taking a moment to realize her destiny. Muku's head didn't hurt. This was something she understood innately.
"Muku hopes you find what you're looking for..." She replies quietly after a long delay. Muku gets up from the small floor table. It was suddenly a little cramped in here. She felt like she needed to stretch her legs or go fly for a bit. Which is to say, she needed to take a walk. But she lingered for now on the periphery, watching some of the performing dancers in lieu of any real physical action herself.

"If things weren't harder, then it wouldn't be fun to do them." Omega says matter of factly "I don't know why you're fidgiting, is there something in my teeth?" He says as he picks at his teeth before he thought about it more "Or are you lying to me about something?" He cocks his head as he looks at her as it sinks in.
Listening as Muku and Thel speak, Omega feels odd and decides to say something strange too "We are....we are all a pack. Even if we go different ways and meet other people and become different things. Even if Em becomes a Kimono Girl and Omega becomes a Challenger. It doesn't matter. We all come from the same place and so we are all a pack. A Family. And even if I'm stubborn and rough sometimes, I trust every one of you and would not lie to you. Please do not lie to me either"
He awkwardly went back to poking at his food "Also don't make me talk like this again. I feel like Thel and I don't like it"

"Hey!" Thel protests. "I'm not that bad..." he glances at Em, "am I?" He doesn't see anything wrong with being how he is... but, it does make him wonder a little bit if there was. He probably wouldn't see it, would he? ...then again, he reflects, this is Omega. The 'mon's probably allergic to properly thinking of others.

Em broke eye contact with Omega, Muku, and Thel. She kept her eyes on her hands, folded at her waist. On her feet. Anywhere but on their faces. She couldn't bear the looks of betrayal or the words she knew would come from Thel. "The money she gave you... the meal... those were all from my earnings over the last day or so. While you three were out getting stronger... I was working. I wanted to be able to help somehow, and... I think I can be comfortable here. W-With the Kimono Girls. Maybe I'll learn a little about battling, maybe I won't. I just... I didn't want an empty goodbye. I'm sorry." With that she leaned forward at the waist, as she had seen her employers do, showing Omega her neck.

"...Em." Thel says at last, a look of shock crossing his face. "I... I know that you know that I would tell you that you shouldn't do that. That you should keep things for yourself. So, I won't say that. I know that it means a lot to you to be able to help others. To show kindness." He puts an arm on her shoulder. "I don't want you to feel that you have to do things for me, but... I won't get after you if that's how you choose to do things. You're kind, you're generous, and I don't want you to give up on anything for yourself on account of me. But... if that's something that makes you happy, or that you want to do, I won't stop you."
"I just... I wish that you'd told us that up front. But, I understand why you didn't." He shakes his head, trying to blink back tears.. "It's because of me. I'm sorry. I know that our upbringings were different. That my expectations of how things are done, that they've hurt you. But... just know, that whatever you choose to do, I'll be fine with it. As long as it's what makes you happy. This all... it means a lot to me. And I know that you didn't do it because you felt you had to." He clasps both of her hands in his own. "Just know, Em... even without all of this, you have been the greatest help in the world, okay? Your words and actions over the last few days, they will be close to my heart wherever I go on this journey. The kindness that you have shown. It's a great help to help me in trying to find my own place in the world. Don't feel that you have to do any more than that."

Muku just sort of shuffled awkwardly. D-did Thel not give Em flowers? This was just maybe repayment for that, and maybe other things, but Muku didn't really know how to process these sorts of emotions and edged further away from the weird couple. Nope. None of that. All of this emotion made her feel like Kursz. Small, but kind of big. But not really so much big. More small.
M-maybe they were going to make an egg? I mean, it wasn't likely with all these people around, but Muku had been surprised before and was certain it could happen again.

Omega was going to say something, but then Thel started talking, and then Thel kept talking, and then Thel started leaking from the eyes. The once wolf took a step backwards. Why was Thel leaking.....Em was staying safe in a den where should would be kept safe by Ophelia and the Kimono Girls and Morty was also nearby to protect them? This seemed much safer than her coming on the road with them. And she shared her spoils! This was win after win, for all of them.
But Thel kept leaking, and Omega kept stepping backwards until he reached the exit. He had just wanted to fight. He didn't know how to deal with someone who has water escaping from their eyes.

"They don't hurt me Thel, it's more that I didn't want you to feel like you owed me anything. That you didn't deserve help, or support." She brushed a palm along his bangs and looked into his eyes. "You are more then just some... pawn, meant to sacrifice everything for the women in your life. Omega understands that in some ways, gender has no bearing on who and what we choose to be. I'll stay here, where I can be safe. I'll study hard, and listen well." She fell silent for a moment, pulling him into a hug. "Find your goal, what fills you with happiness. Till then, keep those three safe, okay?"
Omega and Muku slip away from the Dance Theatre, money in hand. The PokeMart with it's things for acquisition sits nearby, blue roof quaint and tempting. Chock full of things to have, without wrongfully taking them! At least now that there is money. Kursz smells strongly of food, and eats something from out of the pouches on his hoodie as Muku sidles up. "They're probably going to make eggs. Dad leaked like that when he and Mom made me. I guess he was really scared, but Mom was pretty scary." He offered, staring off into space, conversation giving way to chewing.

Thel holds Em tight. "I... I'll do my best, there. I'm trying to work towards doing things that I want to, instead of that I feel I have to. But... I want to make you happy. Because you make me happy. I've found my something that fills me with happiness already." He squeezes her, before letting go. "But I know I haven't found a place where I feel like I belong yet. Not like you and here. I'll search for that. I'll find my place in the world. But... I'll make sure to come back here, if you still want me around." He smiles at her. "I'll do what I can to keep them safe, too. I... have a feeling they'll do better by themselves than I'd be able to, though, judging by today. But, I'll try my best to help."
