Luke
Catelynn clapped a jumped up and down a few times "There we go! That's the Luke I wanna see before a battle! I don't know who they are, but you'll show them!"
She started walking towards the Pokecenter once more "Come on Vanilla, we gotta get Gawain all healed up and ready for the next fight! You two are gonna win this thing"
Slowing down a little bit, she moves next to Luke and speaks a little quietly "So, who are the 'they' that got you so worked up? If you don't mind me asking." She turns her head a bit and laughs "Or even if you do, since I just did"

Luke hesitates for a few moments, wondering if he should tell her, before sighing. Might as well. "'They' are my brothers. They... they weren't very nice to me while I was growing up, still aren't, actually... I never really had what you would call a healthy home environment" He sighs, looking downtrodden again, before perking up. "But, that's why I'm travelling now, right? TO keep away from my brothers, and to show them just what I can do!"

Azrael ruffled Aethon's feathers affectionately on the way to the Pokemon Center, trying to dodge the small bird's beak while doing so. He walked in just in time to see a tall trainer with bright pink hair walk away from a younger trainer's outstretched hand. Wow, what a jerk, Azrael thought, watching the rude older boy walk away before looking back to the one with the messy brown hair. He's probably about my age... might be nice to make friends with someone before the tournament ends.
Seeing that Aethon's focus was split by the long table of snack foods, Azrael held up a finger in front of him, "One. You can get one thing, and then come back, okay? Oh, and get me something too." With a renewed grin, he then made his way through the pokecenter crowd to the trainer with the cute yellow mouse Pokemon, "Hey, looks like you ran into a jerk too. What was his problem?"

Jack was sitting down, spacing out and thinking as he drank the bottled water, when the blue haired youth walked up.
"Huh?," he asked, looking up at the Trainer as his brain started to catch up. "Oh. Which one?," he asked with a grin, not entirely sure if the boy meant Ian or Dave...though since he didn't recognize him from the crowd earlier, he decided to wager a guess.
"You mean him, right?," Jack asked, glancing over at Dave. "I'm not really sure. He just likes to be in a bad mood, I think," Jack said. "He's upset because Nuvema Town isn't a big city, but he doesn't want to see what the town has to offer." Jack shrugged. "City people."
"Oh, I'm Jack, by the way, and this is Bolt," he said, gently patting the Pichu on the head. "Are you competing in the tournament too?"

Dave, meanwhile, is busy filling a plate with a small variety of the local food. At least some of it should be good...
He hears some swooshing, and glances over at the red bird flittering over to the table. People should keep a better handle on their Pokémon, and not let them wander around food on their own, he thinks, sighing inwardly. At least Hal doesn't have to eat.

Dave
As Dave continues to fill the plate, not only does the bird Pokemon pick something up in it's beak, it grabs another piece of food in it's talons before turning towards Dave with a quizzical look. At about this time, the little yellow mouse that had belonged to the local ran over as well, looking at the bird with curiosity in its eyes
Azrael and Jack
As Aethon flies over towards the food, landing right near Dave, Bolt takes off after him, as quickly as his little legs could carry him. The Pokemon duo, both grab some food, before looking at each other and Dave.
Luke
Catelynn frowned, the first time Luke had seen her do anything but smile since her loss "That's really sad. Brothers shouldn't treat each other like that. The point of family is to help each other!"
She shook her head "Well. One day, when you're Unova League Champion, they'll understand what you can do! And then you can help me bring all the fun of Contests to everyone here too! I hear that Nimbassa used to do musicals, so I think that's my destination after the Tournament"

Jack looked over as Bolt ran over to the table, chasing the bird and going for more food.
"Hey, no more snacks, Bolt. You've had enough for now," Jack said before returning his gaze to Azrael.

Azrael's head quirked slightly to the side, How many jerks has he run into today? He nodded in agreement with Jack's explanation, "Yeah, I live in Mistralton City, and we have loads of big city people coming through the airport all the time. They don't want to actually check out the city, but they love coming through to let us know exactly how their city is better." He reached out to shake Jack's hand while introducing himself, "Nice to meet you, Jack, I'm Azrael, and that's Aethon over there..."
He trails off as his eyes settle on his Pokemon, and he notes the food held in beak and claws. As Aethon glanced back at him, Azrael held up one finger again and shook his head with a serious expression. He grinned as he turned back to Jack, "Looks like they're having fun. And yes, we're here for the tournament as well. How did your first match go?" As he talked, he noticed the pink-haired trainer looking disapprovingly at Aethon, and narrowed his eyes as he watched him.

Dave shakes his head at the Pokémon just running free over to the food, and takes his plate away to an empty table. Hopefully there would be no more interruptions until Hal's maintenance was complete...

Luke shrugs. "I know, but well... it's my life. I've grown ... kinda used to it. I guess. Nothing to do against it but show them what for, right?"
He grins at her last statement. "You betcha! I'll win it all and then we'll see who's mediocre."
He walks quietly alongside her for a few moments, before saying: "Nimbasa, eh? Pretty cool. I'm probably just gonna go to Striaton. Nearest Gym around here and all. But first, I have a tournament to win!" He grins at her, enthusiastic once more.

"That sounds about right," Jack said with a grin. "Nice to meet you Azrael, and Aethon," he said, shaking Azrael'so hand as he tried to determine just what kind of pokemon Aethon was.
Jack looked over at the two pokemon next. "Yeah," he said with a grin...but they also looked like they might be up to something...
"Our first match went pretty well. Me and Bolt managed to win without too much difficulty. It was actually our first ever real battle, but it went okay. I guess all of our training and preparation really paid off," he said with a grin at Bolt.
"How did your first match go? Did you and Aethon win?," he asked, returning his attention to Azrael.

Luke "Well, maybe I'll stop by Striaton and see if I can run into you" Catelynn says with a wink
The rest of the walk was quick, but quiet, and the duo entered the Pokemon Center with little resistance. Upon entering there were only three trainers within, a tall boy with bright pink hair in the corner by himself, two Pokemon making there way towards him, an orange bird and a yellow mouse. Across the room were two boys around Lukes age in the middle of a conversation, one with messy brown hair and one with bright blue.
Dave
As Dave begins to eat, the two Pokemon seem like they're going to continue to bother him, but the bird ends up flying back to it's trainer with the food, quickly followed by the mouse. It seems he would finally get some peace and quiet.
At that moment, two more trainers walked in, a boy and a girl, about the same age as the other trainers he had met, that is to say younger than him. The pair seem to have just finished a conversation.
Jack and Azrael
Aetheon seemed to grow bored of the other trainer not reacting to him, and decided to fly back to Azrael, quickly followed by Bolt. The two Pokemon dropped their plunder onto their trainers laps, cookies with various frostings. Aethon squawked before pecking at one, and then at Azraels hair, while Bolt pushed it into Jacks hand and then looked at him in anticipation.
As this was happening, two more trainers entered the Center, a boy and a girl about the same age as the duo, though the girl was short enough that she could pass for even younger

Man, it seems like everyone in this town's so young... Dave observes. Maybe I wandered into the 'kiddy' Pokémon Center by mistake. He gives a bit of a smirk at that, even though obviously no one else would know why...
With that thought, he begins to sample, at last, the food on his plate.

Luke smiles at Catelynn. "That'd be nice."
Once they've reached the Pokécenter, he walks over to the counter and hands over Gawain's ball, before walking over to the table filled with food to grab some snacks (totally not going for the sweetest things they had. Nope, not at all. And even if he did, that's purely coincidentally) and a bottle of water. He sits himself a bit off to the side, content to just let the people there be for now, unless they chose to approach him.

Jack sighed as Bolt returned with a frosted cookie...but it couldn't really be helped at this point. He split the cookie in half and handed a half to the Pichu. "Alright, fine, we'll split it...but that's it," he said with a grin.
As he did, he saw the two other trainers enter the center. He'd hoped they would come introduce themselves, more opportunity to get to know people and all, but the boy around his age just went and sat by himself... Maybe the boy aas shy...he certainly looked the type. Jack decided to change that. The more the merrier, after all, right?
"Hold on one second, I'll be right back," Jack said to Azrael, getting up and walking over to where the other boy was sitting.
"Hey there," he said, starting the conversation. "You don't have to sit over here by yourself. Why not come eat with us?," he asked, pointing his thumb over his shoulder back toward Azrael and the pokemon. "Lunch is always better with someone to share it with," he added with a grin. "I'm Jack, by the way," he said, extending a hand toward the boy.

Luke looks up as the brown haired boy approaches him. "Oh, I didn't want to intrude is all... I'd be okay with joining you guys if it's fine with you" he says, getting up and accepting the offered hand, smiling shyly. "I'm Luke. Luke Towers."

"Nice to meet ya Luke," he said, shaking the boy's hand. "Come on. We were just talking about the tournament," Jack said, leading Luke back over to where Bolt, Azrael, and Aethon was. "This is my partner, Bolt," he said, pointing to the yellow mouse, "and this is Azrael and Aethon. They're competing in the tournament too," he said, pointing out the blue haired boy and his feathered friend in turn.
"So are you competing in the tournament? How'd your first match go?," Jack asked eagerly, returning to his seat.

Luke waves at Azreal. "Nice to meet you, Azreal."
He nods at Jack's question. "I am. My first match went pretty well, or at least, I won. Gawain got hurt though, so he's being healed at the moment. How did your matches go?" he asks the both of them.

"That's cool, nice going. Ours went well. Me and Bolt managed to win without too much trouble. And it was our first official battle, too, so I'm pretty excited. I just hope it wasn't beginner's luck," Jack said with a grin.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Where are ya from? I'm a Nuvema Town native," Jack said with a slightly embarrassed look, recalling how the announcer had called him the 'hometown hero'.

"That's great! And hey, it was everyone's first time, right? Can't be beginners luck if we're all beginners," Luke says.
He grins at Jack's question about his hometown. "I'm almost a local. I'm from Accumula Town. I simply walked here this morning."
