Anna walks over, sitting in an unoccupied chair near the couch where you, Adora, and Elizabeth sit. Yuki sits in another chair near the couch. “Buizel. Wasn’t top pick, that was Finneon, and second was Corsola. Guess Finneons are really all the rage!” She laughs. “Happiny. I know, how am I ever gonna to get a badge with that? I don’t know, but I always wanted to work in a Pokemon Center. I’m gonna need an assistant, and I have a feeling they don’t just hand out Happinies whenever anyone asks!” Adora adds. “Aw! Aren’t you a sweetie? Remind me to go on field trips with you.” Anna teases. Both of them laugh. Elizabeth looks around a bit before answering, almost as if she’s looking for a way to avoid talking. “I have an umm..Litwick.” “Is there a story to it, hun?” Adora asks, carefully. You can tell she’s trying hard not to stress Elizabeth out more. “Oh, umm..” Elizabeth blushes. “I wanted someone to read with, and Litwick is also a light.”“Oh? You want me to talk?” Yuki laughs. “I got a Seel. It was my first choice, of course. Why would they give me anything less?” Adora and Anna collectively roll eyes, and you think Anna is struggling to hold in a laugh. So you’re roughly in the same spot as Lyn and Greg right now, so I’m gonna hold off here. After your next reply, I’ll reply less often because the next post will be in a group thread. The main thing is keeping everyone in the same point. Basically feel free to chit-chat with the NPCs or do anything that isn’t major. Basically, don’t beat anyone up. If you have questions about what’s major, feel free to ask in the Skype chat.

As Anna and Adora rolls their eyes, Vess does the same thing, before winking at Anna and slipping into her natural Imperian accent, heightening it a little more for effect while still remaining believable. "Well of course, the school knows well enough that Imperians should always get what they like." She attempts to say it in such a way with both words and expression to make Anna burst into laughter while at the same time hiding from Yuki that she's directly being mocked. Guile for joking subterfuge! Spending an AP because it's not like I have anything else to spend it on. FIBC2Yvr3d6+1 3d6+1

Anna immediately bursts out laughing at your words. It’s like someone just told her an amazing joke and she can’t stop laughing.
Yuki, on the other hand, isn’t amused. She smirks, but you can see she’s annoyed from the look she gives you. “Like you would know anything about that.”

Vess smirks lightly back at Yuki, gaining some mild satisfaction at annoying her. She considers firing back, but decides to leave it for now. She was sure there would be plenty of opportunities for that in the future. Instead, she just winks at Yuki in an attempt to annoy her further and then turns away from her in a manner that suggests talking to Yuki wasn't even worth her time. Instead, she turns to Anna once more. "So, why water types?"

“Been fishing my entire life. I’m from Petram. What else am I supposed to do? Sit around and read books? Bah! That’s boring! Usually when I fish something up, I either eat it or sell it. That’s the fisherman’s grind. I’ve always thought fishes were so cool, and it was a shame I couldn’t hang out with them. There weren’t many trainers in Petram, but there was this one guy Andrew. He helped my study for everything to get here, and he had a Buizel. It was real helpful putting out nets and doing all sorts of stuff. While I still wanted a fish first, I thought a Buizel could be cool to have.” Anna explains. “What about you? Why’d you pick a mini-wrecking ball?”

Vess nods slowly, taking in what the girl had to say. It made sense. As she responded, she no longer bothered to mask her Imperian accent. First impression had already been made, after all. "Makes sense. I'm from Lux, so not exactly used to seeing wild pokemon well, anywhere. Not any interesting ones, anyways. Hadn't even crossed my mind to get one for more practical purposes, to be honest. As for why Ferroseed? Well, if I was a trainer, I certainly wouldn't want to go up against one. Defensive in both areas, hurts you back whenever you hit it up close and physically, great resistances, can attack pretty strongly too? Sounds a bit like a nightmare. I like the thought of being a nightmare to my opponents."

“Innnteresting…” Anna does a really bad impression of an evil scientist.
“I’ve...never really seen many pokemon….” Elizabeth spoke up, but then seems to instantly regret it. Maybe she was trying to connect?

Vess breathes air out through her nose in amusement at Anna's comment. She certainly was an interesting one. Not a bad thing though.
At Elizabeth's comment, Vess smiles lightly at the shy girl. "Guess it's a new thing for both of us then." She reaches to her side and releases Citadel next to Elizabeth to give her a chance to see him. "Come from a big city as well?"

Citadel looks from you to Elizabeth. He looks a bit confused. “Ferro?”
His spikes retract once or twice, still turning from you to Elizabeth.
“Oh...I’ve never seen a real Ferroseed before. Can I...touch him?” She says quietly, seeming to perk up after seeing a Pokemon.
“I’m from um..Floreo.” As she says this, you can see all the light she gained from seeing Citadel drained. She looks ashamed and embarrassed.

Vess looks at Citadel, the corner of her lip curling up in amusement at his seeming confusion. "Citadel, this is Elizabeth. She's a friend. Would you mind if she touches you?" She then turns to Elizabeth again, trying to steer the conversation away from where she's from. "Do you know much about Ferroseed?"

Citadel looks at Elizabeth, then seems to approve. It retracts it’s spikes and rolls towards the girl. “Ferro.”
Elizabeth hesitantly reaches out and pets Citadel. “He feels...different than I expected. He’s much...smoother.”
“Ferroseed, the Thorn Seed Pokémon. Ferroseed absorb minerals from rock by penetrating the walls of caves using their spikes.” Elizabeth says. “I’ve read through the Pokemon database five times. I know a bit about Ferroseed, yes.”

"I'm sure he'd show you his thorns if you'd like, but it might be a little bit painful." As Elizabeth easily rattles off details on Ferroseed, Vess raises her eyebrows in surprise. "Do you have information on every pokemon memorized? If so, that's rather impressive."

“That’s my goal, at least. I know a lot of the information off-hand from my notes, but not as much as I’d like.” Elizabeth explains. She takes out her Pokedex, but it looks much more beat up than your’s. You even see a few scratches. “I hope you don’t mind. I’d just like to take a few notes.” Elizabeth quickly writes down a few things on the screen. It doesn’t take her long before she tucks the thing back into her pocket. If you want to find out more about Elizabeth’s Pokedex, roll Tech ed.

"I don't mind at all. I'll try to show you any pokemon I catch in the future, if you'd like." Vess sits there quietly for a moment, staring at Elizabeth's pokedex curiously, before realizing that she still hadn't gotten any sleep the night before. In fact, this couch felt quite comfortable... Her eyes flutter for a moment, and she begins to fall over on the couch, sleep threatening to take hold. Tech Ed cause why not Z9SQP1UU2d62d6

You don’t think Elizabeth’s Pokedex is the same as the one you got, but other than that, you don’t notice much about it. “I’d like that a lot.” Elizabeth says, smiling. After that comment, you drift off into sleep. Feel free to describe Vess’ dreams if you like, but since they aren’t important to anything right now, I’m not going to. You don’t have to, though. When you wake up, you see someone has covered you with a blanket and set out a cup of tea. The tea is still warm, and you can assume it’s for you. No one is in the living room anymore, but there is a lot of banging coming from down the hallway.

Vess sleeps soundly, the exhaustion of the previous days catching up to her. She slept too deeply for dreams to reach her, not that she had ever had any, anyways. There were no dreams where she came from. Her eyes pry themselves open after some time, glued shut from the sleep in her eyes. Slowly, she raises her body up, the blanket falling down into a pile on her lap. Tired eyes rove the room with only a mild amount of interest. They eventually find the tea and rest on it, blankly staring for a few moment. Tea sounded nice. She should get some tea. Wait... was that tea for her. Sweet. Slowly, she picks the tea up and takes a sip, coughing slightly. Not sweet, bitter. She really should kick her habit of putting too much sugar in things, but that could wait. Holding the tea in her hands, she stands, the blanket catching on one of her shoulders, wrapped around her like a robe. She shuffles over to the kitchen and grumbles her way through several cupboards before she finally finds a bowl of sugar to use. She pours [CENSORED] teaspoons of sugar into her tea and stirs it, the clanking sound of metal spoon on porcelain filling the room. Then, she takes a sip, smiles lightly, and shuffles over to the hallway to see what all the commotion was about, tea in hand and blanket robe still wrapped around herself.

As you get closer, you can hear yelling.
“Citadel! Stop that!” You think it’s Anna’s voice. Another crash accompanies her yell. “Elizabeth! It isn’t working!”
“Raina! Not you too!” Another crash.
As you approach the room, Elizabeth meets you in the hallway. She sighs. You both reach the room at the same time, and it’s quite trashed. You see Anna holding the remains of a tattered bag, and moving it around. She’s trying to dodge both spikes and her Buizel’s claws at the moment. It doesn’t look like the rest of the room is faring as well as she is.
Elizabeth adjusts her glasses and walks into the room. “You.” She sounds louder and more defiant than she did earlier. Citadel stops, and looks at her.
“You can’t just rush in and attack everything. The entire world is not your battleground.” She turns to Anna. “What did you keep in that bag?”
“Fish…” Anna replies sheepishly.
“They think something is threatening them. They smell the fish. Get rid of that bag.”
“But!”
“No buts.”
“Ugh! Fine. I don’t have many bags ya know!” Anna rolls her eyes and walks out of the room, her Buizel following her. Before it can get anywhere, Elizabeth stops it.
“You. I know you wanted to protect Anna, but you need to look around first. You could’ve hurt her in your antics. That goes for you too, Citadel. Just because you both think you’re brave heroes, it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t benefit from a brain.”

As Vess stumbles upon the scene of chaos, she has to take a moment to just stare at it in amusement. This was going to be fun, wasn't it. As Elizabeth scolds both Anna and the two young pokemon in much the same manner, Vess has to do everything she can to prevent herself from bursting out into laughter. Once Elizabeth is done scolding Citadel, Vess slowly crouches down and stares at him for a moment. "Listen to what she had to say, because she's right. Make sure there's an actual enemy to fight before you attempt to fight it, not after." Vess inclines her cup of tea to Citadel in an offer to give him a taste, assuming he can, and then stands back up and looks at Elizabeth with tired eyes. "Thanks for that. You're pretty good with pokemon already, it's impressive."

Citadel grumbles, but seems to understand as he retracts his spikes. As you pour the tea onto Citadel, it absorbs into him. It looks like he likes it because he starts rubbing your leg.
Elizabeth blushes. “It’s nothing...It’s just about respect, I guess. I read about it.”
She sighs. “I was helping Adora with her room, but I guess I’ll have to do my own now..”

Vess looks over the carnage for a moment and nods slowly. It most certainly was a mess. "Give me a second, I'll help." Vess turns around and snaps her fingers as she walks out of the room. "Citadel, come on." She walks back out to the central living area and tosses the blanket onto a couch. Then, she finds a plate and pours the rest of the tea on it so that Citadel can drink it easily, setting it on the floor and motioning to him to have it before walking back to Elizabeth. "So, where do we start?"
