It was with that the group had taken their final group photo they would take with one another for a long time, done. Era looked at the digital display on her camera with a fond look, as she looked through the last couple pictures. They left the Jubilife TV station walking slightly slower than they normally would, after all it would be a long time before they saw Era again. It meant that the boys were slightly more inclined to drag their feet, and she did the same.
It's for that reason when they had arrived at the Pokemon center, there was a long black sedan out front. The window was rolled up in the front seat, the windows tinted preventing one from telling who was driving the car. The back door was open, with Berlitz standing out by it, and somebody in the back seat.
With a sad looking smile she had on her face, the Research assistant said, "Sorry about this guys, but she's got to go now. The TG research group has strict rules, since they want the data to be as accurate as possible."
She motioned for Era to get in the car.
Era nodded, and gave both Ethan and Axel one armed hugs before saying, "Don't forget to send pictures alright? See ya guys."
With that she got into the car, and climbing over her was another girl.

The other girl in the car practically leap out of the vehicle, she landed arms spread for balance before she raised them above her and stood on her toes stretching and taking a deep breath of the city air "Finally! I am back amongst true civilisation" the girl declared proudly before getting interrupted by a voice back in the car reminding her about her luggage.
Apparently she was so eager to get out of the car she had left her bag behind. The bag the girl pulled out of the car was a sturdy black and blue patterned duffel bag that seemed to be crammed full of stuff; what seems to be a part of a pillow and the end of a couple of metal poles were visibly sticking out the back of it.
Fiddling with the strap of her bag to get it comfortable allowed you all to get a good look at the girl. She was shorter than Axel and only just taller than Ethan with a slim frame and had platinum blonde hair that went down past her shoulders. The girl took a moment to straighten out her pink one-piece she was wearing and adjust her glasses "Glad to be meeting you all in the flesh at long last. The names Maria, Maria Poffeta" she introduced herself and immediately thrust her hand forward to shake.

In a flash their little trio had lost 1 member of the team and a new one stood in her place. Axel greeted her with a smile but still kept his cool visage up just in case it worked. "nice to mee'cha, the names Axel, Axel Stream, i look forward to travels." He spoke with sincerity but he still had a bit of sadness that Era had to go. Once introduced Axel shuffled his guitar on his back awkwardly waiting for Ethan to speak. Meeting new people was not a problem for Axel but the circumstances didnt help him relax.

With the silly group photo taken, Ethan smiles as he can imagine Era's smile when whenever she looks at the photo. He hopped it'll be a reminder of their friendship and the times they had together. Perhaps it'll even make her brother laugh at their absurd poses.
Finally reaching the Pokemon Center, Ethan was surprised to see Berlitz waiting by the black sedan. He wasn't expecting to meet her once more so quickly. He could barely see the figuring sitting in the back sit. "Must be Era's replacement. Replacement... I don't really like that word. No one can replace Era, so I shouldn't compare the new person to Era... Hopefully that individual isn't a weirdo." Ethan quickly made his judgement with the word replacement. He was sad to see Era go, and hopped her the best.
Ethan was surprised to see a girl hopped out of the sedan and proudly declare her return to civilization. "Hello Maria, I'm Ethan Stark. It's nice to meet you." Ethan greeted the Maria with a bow of his own while one hand is over his chest. He then straighten his back and shakes Maria's hand all the while giving her a smile.

Can't say either of them look thrilled about this, but at least they aren't openly averse. I can work with this Maria felt relieved that neither of the pair seemed to hold the circumstances against her. "Happy to be with you two as well" Maria responded cheerfully.
Pulling on her strap to shorten it "You guys already sorted out a plan for today?" Maria asked the pair about the day's schedule "We could go visit the trainer school, I wouldn't mind seeing how my old stomping grounds has changed or is a place like the Poketech Company more up your alley?" Ethan looked like a smart kid, maybe that would be worth a visit for him?
"Oh, Oh!" Maria's face lights up as she gets an idea "Or did you wanna battle me, show off our teams and all; no better way to get to know each other in my book" she sounded much more enthused about this idea than the others

"Well, we are deciding places to visit due to a change of plans." Ethan unzips a pocket from his backpack and takes out the pamphlets he had received last night. "You see, before we leave Jubilife City, we are planning on visiting as many places as we can. But I suppose we can always return to Jubilife to check out the rest of the places." He gives the pamphlets to Maria, so she can to look through them.
"Sounds like you're familiar with Jubilife City. Any places you would suggest?" Ethan asked Maria. He doesn't know long she's been away from Jubilife, but it sounds like she's more familiar to the city then he or Axel does. So she could probably know a few hidden gems in the city that a tourist wouldn't know of in the first place. "Well, I'll like to visit the Trainer School eventually, and learn a new skill or two. Though a friendly battle in order to know each other doesn't sound like a bad idea. What do you think Axel? Would you like a battle or have any suggestions?" Ethan agreed about visiting the Trainer school, before turning to ask the tall youth for his opinion.

"Honestly..." Axel began to reply to Ethan's question but too a moment to think. They had been in jubilife for a day and the only things that had happened was the eggs hatching and Era leaving. "... I was so excited about this city when we arrived but everything is so expensive, I'm all up for a fight but I think we should head on towards Oreburg city." Axel shuffled his bag on his back, he had everything he needed to just keep going and he was becoming eager to get into the gym game and more importantly, the contest scene.

"The Trainer school is defiantly a must in my book, there's a class I want to get in on myself." Maria declares before nodding in agreement with Axel "Well your not wrong, but if your confident in your skills the school has plenty of kids who'll get behind a wager for some spare cash" she suggests to Cherry, honestly she could probably afford to do the same herself, but was equally happy blowing her cash on the lessons before moving on.
"As for other suggestions, well guess it depends on what your looking for, but anyways lets worry about all that later since we're all up for this battle. How do we wanna do this? I got four pokemon" Maria shuffled her ball belt around to the front to show she indeed had four pokemon "Although Delphi not long hatched so she's probably not going to be a fair match up against any of your more experienced ones"

"Likewise, we also have a newborn Pokemon each. They happen to hatch early this morning. Counting the newborns, we also have four Pokemon each." Ethan reveals their Pokemon total. He lifts off a part of his vest to show Maria the Pokeballs clipped to the belt around his waist. "A free for all isn't a bad idea. Though we should agree to how many Pokemon we each get to use. And maybe any extra rules for the newborn if we want to include them as well." He said. If he had worn glasses, Ethan would have adjusted them by pushing the bridge of the frame upwards with a finger.

Axel flaps open his jacket reveling his own 4 pokéballs. Nodding to the other two in agreement, Axel motioned to the street. "Well, we have a place to fight, i suggest 1 pokemon each, keep it simple, that ok with you guys?" A 1v1v1 fight was unique in itself, no need to make it more complex with extra pokémon.

"I'm fine with one Pokemon each. Though the question is whatever or not we'll be using the newborn in this battle or not." Ethan nodded in agreement. "Maybe it's just me, but I personally think it's a bit early for Tamama to start battling." Ethan said.

"Hmm, I was sort of looking to ease Delphi into the battle scene but if you feel yours aren't ready I guess we won't" Maria starts before passing to think for a moment "Guess she could watch though..." she muttered to herself fingering what presumably was Delphi's pokeball "Although if we're gonna go just one Pokemon each, how's about we go with our starters?" the excitable girl offered reaching for a different pokeball than the one she has in hand.

"Actually" Axel began, lightbulb going of in his head, "I agree with her Ethan, if there was ever a good time to get the baby's into battles it's now, with other babies. They ain't too strong and they could make new friends through the fight like little rivals." Axel began moving to the impromptu battle area and set his stuff down. "Cmon guys, let's do it" he called out as he got his guitar out and ready. He seemed much more animated than he did moments ago, replacing his sadness at Era's departure with fire for the coming fight. Crouching down he released Melody, "hey girl, you wanna have a little battle with the other kids?"

"Well it's true it'll be easier on them now rather then later." Ethan said after thinking over the suggestion. Axel and Maria's ideas aren't wrong. Ethan was only worried for the newborns. "Guess I'm just worry about their safety like a parent would about a baby." He says, a single hand reaching over for a Pokeball. "Well, I'm not completely against that idea. Let me ask how he feels. If anything, you two can go at it if Tamama's not up for it." Ethan said. He then releases Tamama out and kneels down to pet him. "Hey buddy, our new friends would like to meet you and wondering if you'll like to battle the other kids."

"So sounds like we're gonna be doing it then" Maria said enthusiastically, as she released Delphi from her pokeball "Mornin' girl, these guys are my new teammates and those are" Maria crouches down to give it a pat "Some of their newest pokemon, wanna have your first battle with these guys?" she asked.

As they released their new born pokemon each one took the question differently. Melody looked at her trainer for a moment that looked at the other characters then looked back at her trainer. She slowly nodded, before moving staring at Axel again, and then back at the others. She didn't move or make any movements to get into position. Just looking between the two of them.
Tamatama jumped up and down squirting water out of it's mouth into the air. It stared at Ethan with expectant eyes, as if waiting to hear what he needed to do.
Delphi looked at the other pokemon and stepped forward with a confident stride making a quiet dignified bark as it stepped forward. Looking at it's opponents it sat down, a couple of steps away from Maria, and looked at the other two still talking to their trainers.

"Hmm?" Maria tilts her head in confusion after observing the other two pokemon "Have they not even seen a pokemon battle before?" she asked out of curiosity, the Poliwag and Snorunt were apparently listening but certainly looked like they didn't know what to expect.
"Did you wanna give them a front row seat with the rest of our teams first to get them into the experience?"

Axel stood up from his chat with Melody, "yeah, maybe i jumped the gun, kinda forgot about them not knowing how to fight..." Axel ruffled his hair a little embarrassed. "Ok, so, 3v3v3 last pokemon standing wins? then we can have a separate 1v1v1 match with the little ones." Axel spoke as he began grabbing his pokeballs. "Ready when you guys are. Watch carefully Melody, the others are gonna show you how its done."

Ethan pats and then rubs Tamama's forehead before looking up to answer Maria. "No they haven't. After hatching, we fed them breakfast, had some light training and visited Jubilife TV before we came back here." He shakes his head for effect. "Having them see what a battle is, is a good idea." Ethan nodded in agreement. "Don't worry about at Axel. Everyone can easily forget that." Ethan said, turning to answer Axel. "A 3v3 isn't a bad idea, everyone will be able to participate. Though it isn't a bad idea having battle with one Pokemon each with our starters like Maria had suggested. Maybe we can first begin with our starters and see how the newborns react before jumping into a 3v3v3." Ethan suggested.

"Nahh cmon Ethan" Axel began, "let's get this going, 3 Pokémon each and then afterwards a little play fight with the kids." Axel was looking between the 3 poke balls and trying to decide who should go first. Bending down to Melody he proffered the balls to her, "Hey girl, who do you wanna see fight first? Amp? Rhythm? Or Sin Cara?"
