Dani is at Erica's side; the darker, slightly shorter of your friends is currently in fluffy slippers with comfy pajamas to match. Dani's defaulted to her usual "big, comfy plainclothes" ensemble but is just as cute, especially with her hair bunched up like that on top of her head. Meeting up with them you hear Erica talking to the desknurse about her team a bit, going over some of the basic statistics quickly and asking about their growth, especially regarding how close they are to their adult stages. You're solid enough on that sort of thing, so you could help Erica understand the metrics better if she later needed it.

You and Dani play a little game of "nudge the other off the reception desk," elbowing and then covertly tickling one another until finally Dani concedes your victory.

Erica satisfied with the nurse's advice and comments, she turns about and sleepily asks "what's going on, buck-a-roos?"

There's a beat where your eyes meet Danis before you both start laughing.

"D-did you," you start laughing again. "Did you just call us buck-a-roos?"

Erica deflates a bit, pulling some of her curly bangs down and over her eyes while meekly nodding.

Dani playfully elbows you again. "Don't listen to him; it was cute, just... not something most people say, yeah Erica?" Erica nods, laughing a bit herself. "To answer you question... I wanted to rest, really. That, uh, 'adventure' tired me out. Any ideas guys?"

You offer up the rooftop; it should be quiet this time of night and the weather should be nice. Plus, who could turn down that nice view?
The girls readily accept, and the three of you head up the main elevator from the Training House Lobby. Nice thing about MedCenter-House combos is that everything's so close, and they always include a lot. You make a note of the swimming pool and rec room for later. There's also apparently a couple sets of training rooms in the lower floors.

>cont.

>>37181765

True to expectations, the weather is fantastically cool, a slight breeze touching off the edge of the building and brushing through your hair. Dani takes off once the elevator doors open, dashing across the Flying-type landing strips and coming to a stop at the railings overlooking the main street. You and Erica smile at her in her excitement and then at each other, Erica taking a moment to rub at the sleep in her eyes.

"It was scary but I had some fun today... Really tired, though." She yawns as the two of you walk out further onto the roof.

"I'm... really glad I can be traveling with you guys." Her smile and eyes mirror her words. "I know Nick can be a pain and I was pretty useless, but... uhm... are you enjoying traveling with us?"

>"Yeah, I am."
>"What do you mean? It's great. I've never had friends like you guys before."
>"You're not useless, Erica!"
>"Maybe we should go our separate ways soon."
>"Maybe we can all work together better."
>"It sucks pretty bad."

>>37181804

Erica doesn't seem to be fishing for compliments or sympathy; you know better than to think that. She doesn't have a lot of self-esteem, and it's not like anybody could have expected her to react to the fight with the Rotom "better."

"Everybody has fear, Erica."

"Hm?"

"I meant, that... if you were thinking about not helping with the Rotom more because you were so scared, then it's okay. Everybody has fear. You're not useless, you're human!" You think back on the events, running through them until you touch on getting the OldBall open. "Besides, you were so important in saving our asses out there: you got the ball open!"

Erica smiles at that.

"Erica, I've-I've never had friends like this before. It means a lot to me. Even if Nick's an asshole."

"Do you think he'll ever, uh... get past that?" She chuckles a bit. "He's funny, but sometimes he can go overboard with the teasing."

>"Teasing? He's a straight-up asshole!"
>"Yeah, I guess... Maybe I should talk to him."
>"He's alright. I don't think he's mean, just defensive."
>"I don't think we should travel with him."
>"What do you like about him?"

>>37182057

Thoughts move about in your head: you know little about Nick, he apologized after you punched him, hasn't given anyone too much trouble since the train ride...

"Maybe that's how he grew up? Maybe part of him is just cruel, or callous? I'm not sure, Erica. I think he's alright, and traveling with him isn't too bad. I'm able to shrug or laugh it off, and it's not like my old teacher didn't say stuff much worse to me.."

Erica smiles, shrugging and tapping the solid plastic on the bottoms of her slippers against the cold stone of the roof. You look back over to Dani, still standing near the railing, smiling and enjoying the view. You call out to her and wave, and she turns back to wave in response. You see that she has her phone out and seems to be talking to someone on it. Huh.

"What about you, Erica?" Her bouncy bundle of hair bobs as she quickly turns to you, puzzled look on her face.

"Huh?"

"What do you think about Nick? What do you like about him?"

"Oh, well.." her fingers drum out a nervous beat on her thighs. "I think he's funny, yeah. And he actually seemed to be a good listener, like, he listened to me... good..." She nervously laughs. "At the museum! When I was explaining stuff! You know?"

You nod with understanding, smiling.

"None of my brothers or anything ever listened to me, so I guess I like having you guys to finally listen... when I tal-..." She reverts to her usual mumbling towards the end. You sigh and pat her back, understanding what she meant.

You motion to her and start walking towards Dani when Erica peeps up a bit with a: "I don't like-like Nick, though! But, uh, he said something nice to me too! I don't think he's all mean!"

The view at the railing is great; thousands of lights coloring and invigorating the city. You note formations of flying Pokemon flitting past skyscrapers and over streetways. Small pockets of humanity, often with Pokemon nearby, make way through the night... It's strange, really, that you grew up in a city yourself but you never enjoyed it like this. Everything was there: the weather, the people, the Pokemon, the buildings and light. You had excursions out into downtown, even. Why didn't you feel so alive, then?

You shake yourself out of your thoughts.

"What do you mean, Erica? Nick 'said something nice' to you?"

Erica laughs a bit. "Uhm, yeah, uh... He was talking about how he was grateful when I was explaining the stuff at the museum to him and video-chatting with him so he could see. And he said that I should be a teacher or something because I have.. a.. niceway ofexplainingthings orsomething."

You smile. "Yeah, that is nice. Glad to hear."

You motion for her to come over, and Erica joins you and Dani at the railing. Looking over, Dani's still on the phone. You make out a couple snippets but you try not to eavesdrop; she sounds happy enough, so that's good.

The clear night: the stars, the city, the lights...

>92

"Oh, hey! Do you see that, Erica?" You point at a small group of heli-ships flying in from the Northeast. You watch them come closer and closer until, one by one, they come to a stop over the Jay city Main Arena, where they descend.

"Wow. What do you think that could be?"

You watch the formation settle down either around or in the arena: you're not able to tell which from this angle. Once the last of their lights is obscured from view you answer Erica's question, perhaps some sort of paranoia or suspicion on your mind.

"I'm not sure, Erica. Maybe a politician? Maybe the military?" You laugh a bit. "We're being invaded! Aah!" You mimic someone pointing to the sky and panicking, eliciting a chuckle and eye-roll from Erica.

"Seriously, though? I have no idea." A devilish smile crosses your face, glinting through your eyes. "Wanna find out?"

Erica's eyes widen a bit, and her brain seems to run through a few different responses, as if wondering on "Is he serious? He can't be! Wait, he probably is!"

"Oh, no, Grey! No more adventures today, please!" You get up, taunting her, and she gets a hold of your shirt. "You sit back down! No more adventures until you've gotten your gym badge!"

You start laughing, Erica joining in. You sit down and then feel a weight flop onto your shoulders. Turning, you see it's Dani; her light, airy laugh fills your ears.

"What are you guys talking about? What's Grey doing now?"

Erica explains, and Dani has a similar reaction. "Oh, no you don't! I will tie you down if I have to, Grey! Damn! I am too tired for more adventures!" You three share some laughs, the girls falling into a conversation that's mostly reflecting on the Tour so far, partly making fun of your penchant for excitement.

You step away; the girls can talk and make fun. It's cute and you know they both see you as a good friend... Or, at least, you hope so. Dani certainly seems that way, right? Maybe you should talk to her again, make sure she hasn't had any second thoughts about you lately...

Sighing, you push those thoughts aside. No sense in always getting caught up on the negative, you tell yourself for the hundredth time. Better to focus on something positive, something important: your team.

You draw off the containers for Phoenicia and Grim. Both of them did well, helping everyone and performing valiantly. You don't know either of them that well, though. Time to fix that.

You release Phoenicia first. She comes out with a cry that burns through the air like a searing flame; it's long and sharp as her gleaming talons. You whistle as the release-flash recedes and watch her soar through the air: she's much bigger, now! The most recent healing session must have caught one of her growth spurts. Instead of a couple feet tall she's now doubled in size and height, her plumage also becoming grander and more variegated. Yellow streaks light up in streaks along her wings and torso, much like the sparks and embers that seemingly pour off her body as she flits about. Her tail is sharper, with well-defined bands running through,

Phoenicia has evolved! That makes three evolved 'Mons, now, if you include your Whimsicott!

>>37184222
Woo go little Phoenicia!

>>37184222

Phoenicia eventually comes to rest on your shoulders after hovering for a bit to the side and beating off waves of smoke and soot. You note with some curiosity that this seems to be deliberate: but why would Phoenicia know to clean herself of her embers before roosting on or near you? Maybe it's a natural behavior for whenever Feltchinders roost anywhere? You'll have to learn more about these quirks of Pokemon behavior. It's fascinating, really.

Phoenicia nuzzles and nips at your hands a bit when you move to pet her, friendly as always,

Hey guys! This is an open question, always applicable:

I know from the strawpoll that you guys want to bond with your Pokemon more. I'm very interested in this as well, but I'd like to have a better idea of direction/intent that you guys had in mind. How do you want to bond with your 'Mons? If you have any concerns or suggestions feel free to throw them at me. Giving greater characterization to your team is very important to me.

>>37184270
>Cuddles?
>Feed her some treats?
>Some aerial acrobatics?
All, but I feel like this isn't the best place to train...plus everyone needs some rest...just let her stretch her wings...

>>37184290
This is good.

>>37184295
This is nice but I still feel like we need more hands on training...like a special something we do with our 'mons...be it together or individual...like the training Grim with the chainsaw thing...maybe work on pairs...if double battle are something you intend on doing...

Also stuff like the ribbon for Mittens...Accessories!...

>>37184295
It depends from mon to mon. But we mostly watch out for them make sure they want for very little and train them hard but fair. Get them their own accessories fitting their personalities, their own names and spend time with as many as we can.

You call out to Erica and Dani, taking a moment to show Phoenicia off. They both get excited enough, Erica padding on over in her slippers so that she can get a good look at the firebird's plumage. Her hand runs down Phoenicia's neck, eliciting some happy chirps.

"She's beautiful, Grey...!"

Dani nods in agreement, petting the shiny, almost velvety surface of Phoenicia's wing. "Very beautiful. And so warm, now!"

An idea striking you, you get down on your knees. Offering a gloved hand (you pulled out the fireproof ones from your pack) to Phoenicia you allow her to be lifted towards the ground. She steps off, cocking her head back and forth at you curiously. You offer her a treat and pet her right behind the "ears," eliciting more happy chirps and a calm, happy expression to fill her eyes.

After beckoning her closer to you the mighty bird hops on over, talons clicking against the stone of the roof. You lean down, rubbing your cheek against her neck. She really is warm! And very soft. It's a bit hard to cuddle a bird of prey like this, but Phoenicia seems to be enjoying it enough after some initial confusion. She even seems to "laugh" when your hair and beard whiskers start tickling at her side. It actually becomes too much for her, causing her to "giggle-chirp" as she hops away with spread wings.

Time for a bit of fun!

You get Phoenicia to emit a thin tendril of flame, a weak Ember if you will, and then throw a treat into the flame. You tell her to stop and then offer up the treat; she hops over and gobbles it up, chirping and looking to you for more.

This time you throw the treat first and then command her to ember; Phoenicia understands readily enough and blasts the treat (or tries to). She manages to char a corner and the treat plops on the ground. Once more, she hops over.

You do this a few more times, Erica and Dani clapping and cheering for Phoenicia on the few occasions that she gets a clean hit. You can't help but cheer too: watching the cones of flame erupt into the night sky is very impressive.

>>37185281
>Thanks for running. If Mittens is our second strongest why hasn't she evolved yet?
In semi-accordance with the games (and the prophecy!) it usually takes longer for two-stagers like Mittens to evolve. Starters evolve at 16(15?) and so does Fletchinder I think? So it makes sense for Phoenicia and Sheldon to already be evolved once. The rest will come with time (we haven't even beaten the first gym yet).

>How strong is Voltergeist?
I love that name. Maybe Volter for short?
He's not as strong as the ship incident suggested. There's a reason for that. Ask a Professor.
Otherwise? He's pretty damn strong.

>How much does an extra battery cost?
A lot, especially when you have to think about buying other things like better balls, a bike, maybe some Ranger-style armor so you don't get squished...!

>Tomorrow in quest time is date night right?
Yes.

>How much of a nudge should we give Erica and Nick?
I can't say! That's for you guys to decide. I will say that you shouldn't take things... as... uh.... assumed I suppose?

>>37185290
What bedtime story do you want tonight? "The Ursaring and the Beedrill?" Maybe "The LitLeo and the Houndour?" How about "The Gibble that Could?"

>>37185382
The littlest Zubat please.

>>37185435
ooh yeahyeahyeahyeah...wait...ok I'm ready...

>>37185382
Will we be able to get any other teamwork bonuses with our other pokemon or is Mittens the only one? If she's the only one is it because she's our first partner or the Veda thing?

What accessories would the other mons favor?

>I wrote this for you

Deep within the Dark Cave lived the littlest Zubat.

The littlest Zubat, because he lived so deeply in the cave, was very lonely. He had no other Zubat friends to play with, and one can only try talking to stalagmites so many times!

One day, the littlest Zubat decided to head out and find some friends. He knew that people and Pokemon often frequented the entrance to the cave, so he headed in that direction.

Soon enough, the littlest Zubat found a human friend! This human friend wore funny "clothes," or whatever they are and was trying to move through the Dark Cave slowly with funny-looking squinted eyes. The littlest Zubat watched for a time as the human bumped into walls and stalagmites, making funny noises and saying funny things when he did so.

Eventually, though, the human seemed to give up and tucker out. The human began crying, and sat on the cold rock floor. The littlest Zubat felt so bad for the human, so he flew on over. The human must need directions! The zubat tried to give the human some directions:

"EEEEEKEEKEKEKEKEEEEEEEEK!"

The human stood up suddenly at this. "Oops!" thought the littlest zubat, "I must have scared him!"

But then the human tried to run away! Unfortunately, the human couldn't seem to control his limbs and fell down, smacking the cave floor with a wet "plop!" The littlest Zubat felt so bad, so he flew on over to offer assistance.

"EEEEEEKEEKEKEKEEEEEEK!"

The human, scrabbling along the ground, then reached for a shiny device; there was a flash of light and then... Another friend to play with! The littlest Zubat flitted around a tiny little fire-pig, chittering happily and hoping that they could all play a fun game together! The firepig started shooting out some fire, then, which was very impressive and pretty. So impressive that the littlest Zubat had to share this with the firepig!

"EEEEKEEEKEEEEEEKEKEKEEKEEEE!"

These emotions must have been too much, though, because then the firepig flipped over, plopping onto the cave floor! He started dancing, even! It was kinda weird, though, and the littlest Zubat was very Confused by his new friends' behavior. Before he could think about this any more, though, the human picked up the firepig and started running away. "Ooh!" the littlest Zubat thought, "They must want to play tag!" And, so, he chased after his new friends!

Occasionally his new friends would bump into a wall, or stop for a break. The littlest Zubat wasn't rude, so he would never tag them when this happened. Instead he would just flit close by and give them encouraging words:

"EEEEKEKEKEEEE!"

And then the game would resume, the human always running again after the littlest Zubat's words of encouragement! The littlest Zubat is such a nice friend!

>And that's why Zubats are so insistent and always appear in caves.

Good story mama

>>37185791
Now get some rest, dear.

>>37185514
>Will we be able to get any other teamwork bonuses with our other pokemon or is Mittens the only one?
Yes, you will be able to with some additional bonding.

If she's the only one is it because she's our first partner or the Veda thing?
It's because you're so close to her emotionally. She really cares about you/Grey.

>What accessories would the other mons favor?
That's in part for you guys to discover/suggest!
HINT: Phoenicia would probably appreciate a necklace.

You should ask them!

>>37185876
Ok cool, So does Grey have any ideas for date night yet?

>>37185926
Hunting for legendaries?

>>37186781
Dear god I hope he isn't that dense.

>>37186797
It would not surprise me.

>>37186915
Grey's been pretty good about paying attention to DAni so far, he might not have ideas but he isn't Shirou.

>>37185926
We said we were gonna have dinner right...other that that we should research the sights in the town and go from there...

>>37187012
Yeah still the whole day, we might want to think on it more provided we don't get into lewd mode again.

>>37187065
>>37187012
>>37186973
It really does not matter much what they do, they will both enjoy themselves anyway.

>>37187152
It'd be a good date yeah

But Grey wants a great date, like that breakfast he did.

>>37187191
I predict we'll roll a 1 the next time we try to do anything like that again.

>>37187979
This quest is very critty so it's possible.
