Jane replied back and urged the bus to move faster. Didn't seem to work...

Eventually though she was there! Well on a bus-stop nearby at least. Throwing one last glance at the time she broke into a run.
"I'm here! I'm here!" she called out as she got closer. But ... There didn't seem to be anyone at the meeting spot just yet? Pew!

The Old Gym of Saffron, which used to be the Original Fighting Dojo, is now just a run-of-the-mill fitness center. There seems nothing special about it.

Lowell walked into the clearing, checking his clock to make sure that yes, he was still rather on time. He saw the rather rushed Jane and waved.
"You look a little out of breath, Jane. Were you exercising?"

"What? Ah-hah no. I was just worried about being late!" Jane replied and leaned back on something to catch her breath. But maybe she *should* be exercising more (probably!). She looked around quickly to see if anyone else had shown up yet. "I *uh* invited some friends to come along. That way you'll get more opinions! But they weren't sure if they would make it on time ..."

Despite the relative nearness of the park to the main gym building, and the old gym being only a few blocks from there, Maeve was not the first to arrive. In fact, unless she was mistaken, she was...third? Was that...
...it was. "Hello again," Maeve greets the two.

Lowell turned to look at the newcomer and seemed to freeze for a second before turning to look at the sky.
"The universe is alive and it hates me"

"Oh hello!" Jane beams for a few moments. Until she noticed that the temperature plummeted, that was. With an uncertain glance between the two she asked hesitantly. "You ... know eachother?"
Clearly. Didn't seem like the perfect match though. Maybe ... oooh! ... they were old lovers? Or something. Anyhow! Jane went back to a bright smile. "Then no introductions are needed! Great. And cheer up, it can't be that bad Lo! Let's give Aurora a moment then we can go look at Ranches!"
"Mm have you give it any thought what you want to have at yours Lo? Or where."
"What have you been up to Maeve? Met any exciting pokémon lately?"

Maeve frowns at Lowell's remark; is she really that bad? She'd tried to make it up to him, and since their meeting, she'd kept her promise. Still, she really didn't need him trying to slap her again. "Look," Maeve starts, annoyance clear in her voice, "I didn't come here to upset you, and I've been keeping my promise. If you'd rather I leave, I'll leave."
Maeve turns to Jane, a polite but a bit sad smile on her face. "Sorry, Jane. I stumbled into a Drapion's territory while he was trying to negotiate with it for reasons unclear to me;" Maeve looks back to Lowell before continuing, "you never did answer my question about that, by the way."

"Do I need a reason beyond being helpful?" Lowell said dryly. "'sides, better it be me, who knows about those kinds of Pokemon a lot, than someone with no clue about what's happening"
He did however walk up to Maeve and poked her in the forehead with a finger.
"And you don't get to leave now, no. You're enlisted. I need warm bodies to help me look for ranches" He sent her a wicked grin. "Think of it as a fresh start, or a chance to make it up to me. The earlier reaction was a joke, by the way"

Well that wasn't half as fun ... Jane is a bit disappointed that there's no juicy secret. Though it was also good that it wasn't anything severe. "Well then! Let's start looking. Oh, you still haven't told us what you are looking for Lo?"

Interesting, Maeve thinks to herself, a pleased smirk returning to her lips. Perhaps my first sense wasn't that far off after all...
"I see. Well then, is anyone else coming, or are we all here?" Maeve pulls out a pokéball. "If we are still waiting, would either of you care for a friendly battle?"

"Hmm ... Maybe one more, but she might run late." Jane replied and considered the other question. She glanced at Lo, but her hand was unconsciously moving towards her pokéballs. But she'd give the ranch-searcher himself the first chance if he fancied it!

Lowell flicked his hand in a slight 'go on' motion at Jane.
"Whoever it is, I'd like it if they show up. Time's a-wastin'"

"Well, let's give them a short moment! Say 1v1 long? I'll go with Fluffy the Flareon!" Jane grins and introduces pokémon. Fluffy takes a quick moment to look around to see if there's any food nearby. Then, realizing the context, he puffs himself up and blows a small flame in Maeve's direction. "There!"

"How kind of you to choose your pokémon first," Maeve replies with a devilish grin. "Better still is that the boy who needs exercise the most right now is the best match up for Fluffy."
With a quick toss, the pokéball in Maeve's hand split open; emerging is a bright flash of light came a Quagsire. "Ready for some exercise, Fionn?" The Quagsire looks about before seeing the Flareon across the way. Picking up her meaning, Fionn raised an arm in what could only be taken as a salute (or perhaps a Wobbafet impression) before turning to face his opponent, ready for whatever they send at him. Maeve lets out a small chuckle; she loved that quirky side of him. "Ready when you are."

"Let's go then!" Jane cheered, not letting the poor match-up deter her. It was only a friendly match after an. Plus if she won she'd have bragging rights for at least a week or so!

"Aww!" Jane recalls poor Fluffy. The Flareon had done well but not *quite* there yet. Still good though! "Well fought!"

With a pleased (but silly) grin and salute, Fionn turns to face Maeve, who smiles back. "Good work, Fionn," she says cheerfully as she returns him to his pokéball.
"You as well," Maeve replies to Jane. "I'm sorry I simply used the same move repeatedly rather than mixing it up at all, but admittedly your Fire Spin is what blew that plan out of the water."

"Ah-ha. Can't really fault you for repetition can I?" Jane grins. The memory of Fluffy trying to chomp down the entire quagsire was still fresh in her mind. (Not that he would ever manage mind you, despite his enthusiasm!)
Anyhow! The winner deserved a prize. And since her monetary resources were almost nil (something about wasting it all on cool things and poké balls? *Ahem!* Investing!) she reached into her bag and pulled out three shards. First she handed over a red one, then a green and a blue. "I'm sure you'll notice, but those are the colours of this battle! So it feels appropriate."
She waits until Maeve gets a chance to receive them and then sticks out her tongue in jest. "Now don't go and spend them all in one place maam!"
