"Any kind of training that can make me stronger is worthwhile, count me in!" Song gave a thumbs up and tapped a button on one of her Pokeballs. A stoic-looking Infernape appeared and bowed to the group. "Shui, come meet new friends!"

"So, some kind of gym-beating think tank? I could get behind that. Anything that makes the run easier is fair game in my book~" Lowell said. "Though I really doubt the local gym doesn't have an answer to Psychics or three of 'em. There's a big rivalry between those types here, after all"

"Yes! Exactly!" Jane beamed at Lowell and nodded at Song. She slipped in a small grin at the infernape before turning to the last person at the small gathering. They had only just met, but she was curious to see how she would react.

Janice- sorry, Aurora Fullbright had kept quiet during this incredible brainstorming session. She didn't recall agreeing to become a team with these people, or that manner going on a joint venture, but the young, mischievous and slightly prickly Aurora Fullbright would find all of this quite amusing! Only one thing for it then, she reasoned as she shifted slightly in her seat and turned to look right back at Jane.
"Hah! Sure, why not?" She confirmed, that smirk widening ever so slightly. "I don't think I'll have much in the way of tactics to offer, but I'll see what I can do among such esteemed company." The milkshake unfroze, reversing its momentum and ending up back in her hand. "Yzope, that's enough clowning around for now." She commanded, eyes going behind the bench. The same chirp from before sounded out, finishing in a sing song giggle that seemed to not as much ring through the air as the minds of the assembled, and sounded an awful lot like five voices in unison.
The air behind Janice Aurora distorted and shimmered, before where there was nothing before, there was now a strange creature made entirely of five intertwining symbols, made of black bars that were either metal, rubber or ink, or some insane synthesis of the three - perhaps some kind of jet black bone? A wide pupil-less eye stared out at the three of them, surrounded by five concentric rings that seemed to adjust and occasional one folded out to reveal it was in fact another eye. The girl with the pink hair chuckled to herself softly and turned her attention back to the group.
"Yzope. Old friends of mine. He's quite a character, and they're also quite, quite powerful." The creature chirped in response, seemingly slightly overawed by everyone around it.

"Hmm..." The floating squiggles behind Aurora seemed awfully familiar in some strange way. They brought her thoughts to old musty tomes and ... math class? Naaah that can't be it can it!? She really wasn't sure. All she could say was that they didn't seem completely unknown to her. Regardless - she had already seen two strange pokémon today. What was one more?
"Hi there *ah* - let's try - 'Yzoppi'? Almost." Jane waved at the weird magic milkshake manipulating pokémon. Strange fellow that one. She couldn't help but try and rake her mind again, but she just came up with null.
Later! Jane softened the small frown that had been growing since the introduction of Yzope and once more addressed the gathered party. "So! I'm sure you all have plans and so - I really should head to the pokécenter myself - but should we meet up say tomorrow? I have a tiny Ranch we could use for training grounds! Oh and if anyone has a cool name suggestions bring them then!"

"Hmm... Aren't those the Pokemon that live at the Ruins of Alph? I've gone with my family to visit before. I had never seen them clustered like that, though" Lowell admitted, moderately impressed by Yzope. It looked strong, at least.
"Meeting later sounds fine by me, by the way. I've got to go visit my parents anyways, and then there's the whole 'letting the swarm out and climbing somewhere I should't be' thing" he said with a bit of a grin. "If anyone wants to tag along that's fine too. Might go Pokemon hunting as well, because why not?"

Song studied the floating symbols for a few moments. She seemed to be keenly interested in them. After a few moments, she smiled toward Lowell. "We have some energy to burn off, don't we Shui?"The fiery ape nodded once. Song smiled, knowing he was burning up for a fight on the inside. "How about we hit the routes and see if we can't scare up a battle?"Swift Action - Spend 1 AP to make profile record of Unown.

"All right then!" Jane beamed. "See ya tomorrow then! Oh; and here's the address. Not super far from here, so you really shouldn't have to hurry. And here's my number in case you want to get in touch!"
With that settled, Jane started to gather her wits so she could head to the pokécenter.

"Ehh, not really in the mood for a battle right now, you know? Day's still young" said Lowell, kinda hesitant. He did record Jane's number tho, and texted her so she'd be able to save his own.
"Seeya in a bit then, Jane"

Song also entered Jane's information into her 'Dex before heading out toward the gym, hoping to find a trainer ready for a battle. She left Shui out to wander a bit. He always seemed to enjoy searching for things as they walked. She also released Si and let him fly about the city for 'shinies'.

"Hah, alright. I guess I'll be in touch. You have my word." With that, Janice put up her face cloth, the word TRUTH now emblazoned across her mouth as she turned and stalked away, Yzope darting around behind her and chirping like a excitable five headed baby bird in an echo chamber without walls. Besides, she really should go check out the local Gym...

Hmhm. As Jane headed towards the pokémon center she was in deep thought. Had she managed to trade her one pleasantly odd friend for even more weirdness? Going by total sum that was undoubtedly true - but three vs one didn't feel fair. So she had to decide between median weirdness or average. Miss Milkshake really did skewer the latter ... --- After the the visit she still wasn't sure - but at least her pokémon were healthy! Humming loudly she pondered this interesting, but ultimately pointless, question and headed west out of town. She wanted to take it easy for the rest of the day, so she simply looked around for some wild pokémon. Can't have enough of those! aAuRaYJC1d100 coolness roll : ) 1d100

Jane comes across a Mr. Mime performing in a nearby park. A few people are sorta-kinda watching its performance, but it doesn't seem to mind that it doesn't have a huge audience. Any audience (even a half-awake one) is good!

Oh that's kind of cool. Jane thought to herself and stopped to watch for a moment. Mimes were on the creepier side, but the performances were still very impressive. And - she couldn't help but think - it would be a very useful pokémon on her side for the local gym. After spending some minutes as merely another audience member Jane started digging trough her bag after her Magic Hat. Then, with it in hand, she waved at the Mr. Mime to get it's attention. "See? Empty!" she showed it (and the other audience, it they were actually looking interested) the inside of the hat. It was, as she said, empty! Then she held it high above her head and mumbled the magical invocation. Then, with much anticipation, did she reach into the hat and pulled out Nie the Whimsicott! Woah! Z3E21OsN5d6 Sleight of Nie, Stealth
6d6+1 Sleight of Nie, Guile Then she smiled at the Mr. Mime and stepped back into the tiny crowd, waiting for it to complete its routine. Hopefully it'd be intrigued to maybe join shows together? Or, at least, a pokémon battle! 5d6·6d6+1

Jane takes the offered rope and inspects it carefully, testing if she can stretch it. But no - it's too strong! Ah, she better just wait a moment to see what the Mr. Mime is doing next!

The invisible rope pulls hard! Whatever is on the other end of it is really strong! Mr. Mime begins building a "box" of sorts around where the supposed other end of the rope is.

Oh a box? Jane made a mental note to not get too close to that one, had to be a little cautious around wild pokémon at least! But she allowed herself, with a bit of drama, to be pulled closer at least!

After a short time, the Mr. Mime finishes its box and mimes snipping the rope and wiping away nonexistent sweat, as if that were a close call. It claps for you and the onlookers applaud respectfully as it takes a bow.

*Pew!* Jane looks visibly relieved to have been saved in time. Thanks Mr Mike! After untangling herself from the rope she joins in the vigorous applause. Now was the part where she would offer to exchange numbers, but that seemed hard. Instead, after waiting a little, she could only offer some berries as appreciative snacks and after that a pokeball and a questioning expression.
