(Meh I'm sure it's fine.)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #401 on:** November 24, 2013, 06:44:31 AM

(Meh, I think it's just fine.)

Joe stirred in his sleep. His Raticate was just circling the room, acting like a Watchog.

Quickman · **Reply #402 on:** November 24, 2013, 06:57:27 AM

(Eh, I'll get him out of there anyway.)

Trak stirred and got up, noting that Runaway had wandered off, living up to his nickname. Getting up, she left the room and walked down the hall, seeing Runaway in the waiting area, performing for tips. Unsure of what the street performer regulations were in Hoenn, she rushed over to the Alakazam.

Runaway noticed her, bent and picked up his cup, then walked over. "Regardez!" He held up the cup, which appeared to have a few dollars worth of small change.

Trak nodded. "Nice haul, but I don't know what the laws are around here, so we should probably just go back to sleep, okay? I'm pretty tired, and you're antsy, so you didn't get enough sleep. Come on, let's get back to bed."

"Oui!" Runaway tucked the spoons into the pocket of the Bermuda shorts he still wore, switched the tip cup to his other hand, then held Trak's hand and followed her back to the room.

Sakura and Xuangzang began eating breakfast together with Sakura eating pancakes, sausages, and hash browns while Xuangzang was muching on a hashbrown patty.

Joe woke up just as he saw Trak return to the room, and noticed she was holding hands with Runaway. Slowly getting off the bed, he limped over, yawning slightly.

"Anything the matter?"

Quickman · **Reply #405 on:** November 25, 2013, 02:17:44 AM

Trak glanced over. "No, just keeping him out of trouble. I don't know the regulations on street performing around here, and in Kalos, it's pretty popular. Runaway and I would head down to the station in Lumiose and perform during weekends. He's way more talented than I am, I just do guitar accompaniment."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #406 on:** November 25, 2013, 02:34:30 AM

"Peddling? I have seen some Guitarists around here, so I think it shouldn't be much of a problem. Either way, how do you feel? Refreshed?"

Quickman · **Reply #407 on:** November 25, 2013, 02:46:20 AM

"Much better," Trak put Runaway's spoons away as he dug through her bag for his usual pair. "We may as well get something to eat..." she trailed off as she poured the contents of the tip cup on the desk and counted the change. "...Hm. Got five dollars and about... twenty-five... six... seven... eight, nine... thirty-two cents."

Runaway beamed. "Je peux acheter le petit déjeuner!" I can buy breakfast!

Trak looked to the Alakazam. "You want to buy breakfast?"

"Oui," Runaway nodded.

"Okay, you can buy breakfast, then," Trak scooped up the money and handed it to Runaway, who put it in his pocket. She looked to Joe. "He has a limited concept of money. Smart little guy, but needs help with purchasing things, basically pointing out prices so he can tally them up."

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #408 on:** November 25, 2013, 03:11:07 AM

"I see, but you can keep the change for now. The Pokemon Centers provide free food to all Trainers. At least the ones over at Kanto are as such... Well, we find out soon enough..."

Joe walked over to the dresser mirror, and ran his hand through his hair. Raffling it a bit, Joe grabbed his cap, and was basically ready. He then noticed that his Raticate was still out, so he called out to it.

"Come on Raticate, time for breakfast!"

Raticate popped his head from under the bed, and rushed over to Joe's side.

"Cate!"

Quickman · **Reply #409 on:** November 25, 2013, 03:20:13 AM

"Huh," Trak seemed surprised. "Well, then you can save that money for something at the Pokemart, then." Smiling, she rubbed Runaway's head.

Runaway grabbed Trak's hand excitedly and pulled her to the door. "Allons-y!" Let's go!

"The food's not going anywhere, I don't think," Trak followed Runaway and managed to gain the lead as they both headed for the cafeteria.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #410 on:** November 25, 2013, 03:32:57 AM

Joe smiled as he followed behind the pair. It's been a while since he enjoyed company. He too soon reached the cafeteria, and grabbed an egg mayo sandwich for himself, and some Pokemon pellets for his Raticate. Finding an empty table, he sat down, placed the pellets into a bowl, and then placed the bowl on the table. Raticate jumped onto the table and munched happily away, while Joe nibbled on his sandwich.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #411 on:** November 25, 2013, 04:46:55 PM

Xuangzang looked around as he was eating a piece of toast as he seems curious about something.

"Why are we eating alone?" Xuangzang asked.

"Well Taylor always sleeps in and Merrick is currently not in the Pokemon Center. Plus even if we did make amends with the crazy shorts guy, he's probably still scared of me, I did have him hog tied in Fuschia after all." Sakura explained "Besides Mr. Spook is here with us."

As Sakura said that she dropped a little bit of food on her shadow which opened it's mouth and ate it.

"Isn't that going to freak people out?" Xuangzang asked with an eyebrow raised.

"That's the point." Sakura smiled mischievously.

"It's times like this I have to wonder how you're not Mr. Spook's Trainer. Him and Hades could be long lost brothers." Xuangzang remarked.

"It would sure make the Lab more entertaining everyday." Sakura laughed "Though I don't want to give the assistants heart attacks."

"That's probably true." Xuangzang shrugged as he ate more of his toast.

(Because Mr. Spook and Sakura seem pretty tight, he also probably listened to the conversation Sakura and Xuangzang had the night before since he's probably in her shadow all the time.)

Sapph by this time had wandered into the cafeteria, fully dressed, but without his fedora. It could be seen that his hair was long and very uneven, as if he had tried several times to cut it himself before giving up, or he had been in several fights and never bothered to clean himself up. His beard, on the other hand, had been kept clean and tidy. Walking along next to him was a young absol. This one was different from Hero, who had been Sapph's partner three years ago. This absol was a girl. "Alright Virgo, let's see what they have for breakfast..." He said, the absol nodding and following along, mostly sleep walking at this point.

Quickman · **Reply #413 on:** November 25, 2013, 08:31:24 PM

Trak munched on a sandwich, while Runaway had a bowl of cereal, which he ate using one of his spoons. She looked around, seeing Sakura eating alone at one table with her Pokemon, the Zekrom being the unfamiliar of the two.

Runaway took a few more bites, then looked over to Sakura's table. He must have picked up on the relationship, however tenuous, between Sakura and Joe, as the Alakazam rapped his spoon against the side of his bowl a few times, trying to get the other table's attention. "Hé! Venez vous asseoir avec nous!" Hey! Come sit with us!

Trak took notice and tried to get Runaway to mind his own business. "If they don't want to, they don't have to." She glanced over to Sakura's table with a sheepish grin. "Runaway's just excited to be in a new region. He's very friendly." There was some additional emphasis on "very."

As if to prove a point, Runaway motioned for Trak to lean in closer, which she did. Immediately, he gave her a kiss on the nose. "Je t'aime, Madame." He smiled.

Trak smiled too, giving the Alakazam a hug. "Awww, I love you too."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #414 on:** November 25, 2013, 08:35:27 PM

"...I'm sorry I have no idea what your Alakazam just said, French is not a language I learned." Sakura said blankly.

Quickman · **Reply #415 on:** November 25, 2013, 08:38:42 PM

Trak smiled. "French isn't my strong suit, either. He was just inviting you over to sit with us if you'd like."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #416 on:** November 25, 2013, 08:41:39 PM

"Well I guess I can, I just hope your friend doesn't freak out, I have a habit of freaking people out sometimes." Sakura said sheepishly as she went over to the table while Xuangzang hovered over there carrying his toast. "Oh and if I'm spilling food on the floor it's because I'm feeding a Gengar."

Quickman · **Reply #417 on:** November 25, 2013, 09:57:48 PM

Trak nodded. "As for your prior relationship with Joe, it's in the past and the past shouldn't become a problem in the present."

"L'eau sous le pont," Runaway took another bite of cereal. Water under the bridge.

"Exactly," Trak nodded. She took another bite and glanced from Runaway to Sakura. "About the French... he's been speaking it ever since I caught him. Professor Sycamore isn't sure exactly when or how he picked it up, but he thinks that Runaway may have picked up a tourist's language book and memorized it. His syntax pretty much points to that."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #418 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:00:52 PM

"I wouldn't know I only speak English and understand Pokemon language." Sakura shrugged.

Quickman · **Reply #419 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:18:23 PM

"It was unexpected, for sure," Trak nodded, "I ended up getting a crash course in broken French just to understand him. Sycamore helped with that, as he speaks French fluently. We dropped by often for pointers, and he gave me a pocket translator for when I get stuck."

Sakura Leic · **Reply #420 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:30:48 PM

"My dad and Sycamore talk to each other and he says that he talks in French a lot." Sakura recalled "Though my dad must have told him that I don't know French since his letter barely had any French."

Quickman · **Reply #421 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:34:03 PM

Trak nodded and rubbed Runaway's head. "You're just a bundle of mysteries."

Runaway smiled, relishing the head rub. "Oui oui!"

Sakura Leic · **Reply #422 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:45:30 PM

"Well there has been quite a few cases of talking Pokemon and Pokemon with high Psychic powers have been known for using telepathy to communicate with their trainers." Sakura pointed out.

"I just picked human language myself really." Xuangzang piped up.

Quickman · **Reply #423 on:** November 25, 2013, 10:57:47 PM

"We've also been working on toning his muscles so that they're not so weak," Trak nodded. "He can barely curl eight pounds, but it's still a significant amount compared to most Alakazams. At least he can hold his own head up without having to use his powers to do so."

Runaway was too focused on finishing his cereal to respond. He set his spoon down and picked up the bowl with both hands, tipping it and his head back to drink the remaining milk.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #424 on:** November 25, 2013, 11:00:32 PM

"Well that's quite a feat right there." Sakura whistled.
