Once the first round seems to have wrapped up, everyone is healed up and the pairings for the next round are placed. Nori and Yue are facing people they don't know, but it looks like Svetlana and Stella have a face-off, and Melissa and Gwen have one as well! It was going to happen eventually!

Hmm-hmm-hmm! Stella wandered around and watched the battles that were still ongoing. She tried to soak in as much as possible. And who knew? Maybe she'd spot someone she would face later in the ladder! Or just something really cool. Either would be good.

Gwen came rolling up at some point, and parked near the wheelchair loving weirdo. "Yo, Stella! How's it going? You still in this tournament?"

Mm! Stella nodded vigorously at Gwen's question and smiled. Then she tilted her head to the side and briefly pointed at Gwen. Was she also doing well?

Gwen was half happy, and half worried. It was nice for Stella to be doing well, but she did have direct counters to Gwen’s pokes. Might as well see what she can do...”Awesome! I beat Melissa not too long ago. So far so good, eh? Hmm, tell you what: we face each other in the tourney, if you let me win, you can ride in my chair some more! How about it?” She wasn’t manipulating Stella, it was more of making a deal. And, she didn’t expect for her to take it.

Hmm. Stella frowned a little. That sounded awfully suspicious really. But Gwen wasn't usually a suspicious person was she? No? Hmm. No she had been nice. The wheels inside Stella's head spun a bit faster, trying to piece together what was happening. Aha! It was probably one of those "jokes" she had heard about. Yeah that sounded right!
"Hah." she beamed, happy to have such a bonding experience. She tried herself at making a wink and adding a sly "Maybe?"
So! Now that they were officially friends what should they do? Oh right! Go around and see the other pokémon matches of course. Who knew - maybe they could gain an edge in their next one somehow? Mm! She wandered up next to the chair and gestured towards the handle and pointed to herself. "Look around?"

Gwen raised an eyebrow. She wasn't sure if she was playing along, or Stella was imitating what she had seen before. There was the option of offering a ride in her electric chair, but that was expensive! A joy ride in that made Gwen sweat. She then nodded to Stella. "Hehe. Yeah. Sure. It's always good to scout the competition. Let's rock 'n' roll."

"Mm-hmm-mh!" Stella hummed some odd tune as she rolled the chair around. She didn't see any rocks around, but she'd be sure to roll over them too as per the request.
Wonder how the others held up? That nice guy with the cool bag? And the weird science gal. Oh wait she was Melissa wasn't she? Hmm. Oh well! While they rolled around Stella thought that they might as well speculate a little. She gathered her thoughts and put them all together in the right order and shared - "What do you think is in the egg?"

Gwen taps her chin, closes her eyes, and leans her head back in thought. This question ran through her mind quite a bit. "Man oh man...What could it be?...Most likely something super rare. All this trouble for a baby pokemon, so it has to be something important. Maybe a newborn legendary pokemon!?" Gwen was giddy with anticipation of what kind of mon was in it.

"Mm!" Stella mm-ed in agreement. It was probably something cool. Hmm. Or was it? Maybe it was just a "joke"? She thought a bit more on it and that would actually seem kinda funny. A bit at least! "What if-" she paused and grinned to herself. Then after a deep breath she finished "-it's a Rattata?"

Gwen flashes a deadpan look back at Stella. "Ugh...Please, I don't wanna think about that..." The thought of something like that would lead to an aneurysm. Well...It wasn't like she couldn't mold it into a champion. "You're quite the comedian, Stella.", she says in a flat tone.

Fresh from her second battle, Yue runs up to Gwen and hugs her from behind. "Hello!"

!!! Stella was just about to soak up the praise when something big, warm and soft tried to squish her from behind. Oh no! What was this?! She wanted to flail her arms. But she couldn't betray her friend and let go of the chair. Oh-oh-oh!

Yue lets go of Stella, slides in between her legs, and pops up inbetween the two to hug Gwen from behind while Stella continues to hold onto the chair. "Tis so nice to see a pair of friendly faces! I hast had quite the rude opponent just now. Not only dist she not introduce herself, she hadst the gall to tell me I didst not belong here!"

"Huh!?" Gwen is initially startled by the hug. She didn't get a lot of those, and this "mass" couldn't be coming from Stella. Gwen was a bit perplexed as this was probably the softness thing she ever laid her head on....She rocked head back and forth...."Uhhh..."... OH!! Could this be-!?!? She looked up, and sure enough it was Yue. "Ahh. Haha. It is you, Yue. Hey there." Gwen had a bit of blush on her cheeks, but this girl seemed to just toss her luggage around without a care. No need to complain though..."How's your tournament run going? Huh? Somebody messin' with ya? Wouldn't be surprised if there were some jerks out here."

Well. She really wasn't sure how this happened at all. It seemed implausible, almost impossible, but yet here they were. Especially; here Yue were. Stella tried to figure it all out for a moment before quickly giving up with a small shrug. She took a step back while still holding on to the chair with one hand (just in case!) to give everyone a tinsy bit of space. "Mm!" She made some general agreeable noise. Yes there were probably jerks out there. Yes it was nice with friendly faces. Yeah to pretty much everything.

Yue hugs Gwen a bit tighter. "I suppose so. However, this one didst seem like she hast been told things about me. She never said who twas other than the fact that twas a female, but I hast mine suspicions..." She says, her tone sounding rather downtrodden. "My apologies for the sudden contact, but I didst need someone to hug to make me feel better. In fact, while we art on the subject of hugging, wouldst anyone care to share a bed tonight? I hast a bad habit of latching onto the nearest living creature in mine sleep and Bubbles is weary of nearly being suffocated each night."

Gwen raised an eyebrow at Yue's comments. Was she so important that people were holding grudges? Weird. She also blushes as she is pulled in tighter. This was like heaven, she would admit that. "Ahh don't let all that bring you down. Let them be miserable. You just gotta- Huh!? What now!?" Gwen's eyes went wide at Yue's offer. This girl needed a lesson in shame.....Although her offering herself openly might lead to unintended shenanigans, and Gwen could look out for her....Yeah, why not!? "Yeah, why not!?" she blurted out...."I mean....Uh. I'll take you up on that. Some girl time together to talk it out will do ya some good. Hehehe..." Gwen felt a little weird, but when was the time she got to lay with someone else....Never, but Yue seemed nice enough. "I don't move around much, but I can give a pretty good night snuggle." Wow she sounded a bit lame saying stuff.

"Ah, miss von Ravenbrandt. I see you've become acquainted with my new rival." The Doctor approaches, surveying the odd tableau with a raised eyebrow. "I take it you've made good on your earlier intentions, then?"
