Celeste looks between the two and blinks a few times. She had never said she wanted to travel with anyone, she was just accompanying them because she felt bad about running into the short one. It was a bit... forward of them as well, they seemed almost desperate, it was a bit unsettling. "Well, um... I'll think about it. I don't even know your names yet, so I think it's a bit early to travel with you all..." She stammers a bit and shifts uncomfortably, not sure how to handle the situation. She turns her music up a tick.

Adri blushed a bit at her social impasse and scratched the back of her head sheepishly.
"Oh! Um, sorry. I totally forgot we hadn't introduced ourselves. I'm Adrianne Mossgrove, and these are my friends Zach and Conner"

Celeste nods politely to each of them as they're introduced, a small smile on her face. "I'm Celeste, nice to meet you all.

"Well it's very nice to meet you, Celeste" absolutely nothing seemed to be able to put a damper on Adri's happiness. Petalite just seemed to fill her with excitement.
She pulled out her pokedex and opened a map of the city.
"So, where are we getting off the tram again?"

The tram shoots over the commercial district, packed with buildings, though only a few very tall ones. It coms to a stop and an automated voice announces "Red Street". Two people move to get off.

"It should be soon. There's a Pokemon Center at the corner of the Commercial, Technical, and Residential Centers, and we're heading straight for it." Celeste glances at Zach for a moment, then turns back to Adri. "How'd he get so injured?"

Adri looked up from her phone, glanced at Zach and then looked back at Celeste.
"We had an ugly run-in with a bunch of feline pokemon. Zach usually fights alongside his pokemon, and he got scratched up reallying bad" she told the other girl.

Celeste nods understandingly. "I have a Purrloin, he's pretty vicious. Not something you want to anger."

Adri grimaced.
"Yeah, it was pretty bad. I'm just glad he'll get some real help. I'm not sure my shoddy bandaging helped at all"
She reached down, picked up Aeron and scratched behind his ear, earning herself a content growl. Tyrell just nuzzled deeper into her hair.
"I might need to visit a trade spot as well. I mean, I have a lot of pokemon to trade or sell off after that trek"
She looked at Celeste.
"I could let you take a peek at my captures if you want"

Adri's mention of her Captues brings Conner out of his reverie "That reminds me Adri, i need to talk to you about that Tauros you captured."

Adri nods at that.
"You want the Tauros? That's fine. I'm sure we can work out something. Maybe some traps, or you helping me out with shopping"
She winks at Celeste.
"My friends get special deals and all" she joked.

Celeste blinks and smiles lightly back. "I see... Not sure I really have anything to offer, but what else do you have that you might trade?"

Zach sits back, listening to the conversation about him before speaking up. "I can get very... passionate at times. This leads me to disregard my own safety, and do what I feel must be done at the time. Adri's been doing a good job patching me up, but I'm not gonna lie, I could really use an aspirin."

Adri gave Zach a stern look.
"You could use half a week of downtime to heal... but you'd probably ether escape the hospital or go mad from boredom by the end of day one. I swear, Zach, sometimes I think you three e joy making me worried" she said in mock frustration, before letting out a small chuckle. "Just take it easy for a while, okay? No grappling with Machamp or anything equally reckless"
She accessed her pokemon list on the pokedex and showed Celeste.
"Anything without a nickname, plus Johan, Johalva and Colm is up for trading, though I rather like both bunnies and would need a nice offer to consider trading them off" she told Celeste.

Zach nodded to Adri, motioning for Liz to come closer, which she did obediently. He gave the curious bug an affectionate rub on the head, chuckling. "Some down time would be nice. I just need to be patched up properly, then I'll explore the city. Find a Showdown... Do some shopping, maybe train my team a bit. Should we rent a hotel room for a few days, or just stay at the Center?"

Celeste looks over the list, her eyes widening a bit. "You catch a lot of pokemon... I wouldn't mind Colm, but there's nothing you have that I really want or need. And I wouldn't have anything in return anyways. Thanks for the offer though."

Adri nodded and smiled.
"Sure thing! And yeah, I do kind of catch a lot of Pokemon... But it's because they're all so interesting! I want to know more about them. There's so many things we don't know about Pokemon... Especially their evolution in the long-term change sense. Here, check this out" she pulled up Irm's pokedex entry "Danny, the friend that traveled with us before, found this Voltorb and three others back when we were at Siennaridge. They seem to be plant-types that have adapted to resemble Apricorns... Or maybe most Voltorb were like this once and they adapted to resemble pokeballs after their creation. The implications of this... and Adri went on gushing about sciences, Pokemon genetics and the like for around two minutes until she finally realized what she was doing and blushed hard with embarrassment.
"Um, I got a little carried away. Sorry about that, I must have bored you by now..." she said to the other girl.

Celeste blink and gives a small smile. "No, no, not at all. I like listening." She holds up her headphone not currently in her ear and waggles it to prove her point.

The buildings outside once more change from low rise shopping to concrete and glass buildings up ahead. The tram comes to a stop once more as the announcer comes back on "West City Labs and Pokécentre". This is your stop. All to the north and west of the stop are fancy yet low rise buildings, and a signpost at the stop points out that "Pine Labs" is in that direction. To the south is one large building, at least two of the faces that you can see showing large Pokémon Center signage. Beyond that is a park which seems to have housing around it, of reasonable size.

Adri motioned towards the door.
"This is our stop, isn't it? Shall we?" she said.
