Jessica looked up at the dark sky, sighed, then nodded. "Goro, rest." She ordered, the Golurk rising back to a standing position before she returned him. "I leased a room at the inn for the month while I've been working. They might have a room open, especially as the tourist season has died down."

Seamus sighs in disappointment, "I suppose, no ride for today," he said and ran a hand through his flaming red hair. He looked at the hotel, and scratched his chin, "Hmm, perhaps..." he said and looked down at himself. He was pretty sure he wasn't an unaccompanied Minor, as it were... "Alright Sounds like a plan..." he mused and then looked the woman up and down, smiling softly, "I think I'm going to working with you, Professor, however long of briefly this partnership may last," he said nodding to her politely.

"She'll be fine." Colt said in response to the loud thump. "It was probably just her magicarp." He layed down on the bed exhausted, and cracked a small smile as he saw the pokemon trying to play cards. "Never saw pokemon play cards before." Colt stretched as he pulled a pillow up by his head and put it underneath the back of his skull. "It's just nice to relax sometimes." He said, placing his heads behind his head.

They finally hear the water in the bathroom stop, and Arietta comes out in a nightgown and pants, carrying a magikarp wrapped in towels. "He got excited in the shower." She laughs, and puts him on their bed. After padding the pokemon dry, she pauses. "Where's Scim and Moraya?" Arietta looks to Jeeves, who, without looking up, points at the screendoor that was wide open. Arietta sighs and walks over to the balcony. "Moraya, Scim, get up here! You're not allowed to battle without supervisions in strange places!" She yells, and they hear whining, "No whining, now come." She walks inside, and Scim hovers up with Moraya in his tassels. They grumble angrily. "Okay, whoever wants to take a shower now can!" She smiles, and flops onto the bed, disturbing Jeeves and Theo, who glare. Wibur snores lazily, and Arietta stares at her fish. "Is that normal for a fish pokemon?"

Mami thinks a moment and digs in her bag, "You can go first, Colt," she says, pulling out a brush, and heads to the balcony, which is large enough for her to bring out Tom. As the Ursaring appears, he looks around curiously, and then chuffs happily when he sees the brush in Mami's hand. That sand from the storm was itchy, he needed a good brushing. He crouched down so that Mami could get to work, "I probably should have done this earlier, sorry, Tom," she says, but the large pokemon growls assuring her that no harm was done.
Bob looked at Arietta from the pillow he was laying on, curious about the Magikarp, but had no desire to move from his comfy perch. "Shroom, Shroomish," he squawked, hoping Arietta would bring Wilbur closer for the Shroomish to inspect... he had never seen such an odd pokemon before now...

"The feeling is mutual." The Professor agreed, giving him a nod before heading towards the inn. She had to admit, she didn't expect anything like this after the helicopter had so rudely interrupted her work, but these were strange times. All this time, she had still been carrying her suitcase full of notes and research, as was usually the case these days...Ah, well, once she was able to publish her findings and get funding, she'd have a laboratory to keep her materials in.

Colt got up off the bed and headed into the bathroom. "I may be a little long. I don't have another set of clothes, so I'm just going to wash these." He closed the door to the bathroom. Lucifer looked at the group of pokemon with intrigue. They seemed like an odd bunch. He walked over to the pokemon who had their game of cards interrupted and barked, asking what they were doing. Lilith walked up behind him, rubbing her head along his fur trying to get his attention.

Seamus Walker
The 'young' man grinned at her, "I would love to hear about your work," he said suddenly, feeling talkative today, "I saw you tinkering with your Golurk before... curious as to what you were looking for exactly," he said calmly. The woman was smart, and quite probably a Disciple of Mew's child. That would explain the psychic contact he had felt while he was dying... If so, the woman could be a very profitable contact to have.

Jeeves and Theo looked at Lucifer, and Jeeves squeaked back a reply. Jeeves used his psychic powers to re-shuffle the deck, and deck in Lucifer. It explained in a series of squeaks how to play and the game began. Arietta looks at Bob and processes what the pokemon is trying to convey for a moment, before finally understanding. "Oh, you want to see Wilbur?" She moves over to the large pokemon and hefts it up, then drags it over to Bob. Wilbur's eyes snap open and it looks at Bob, letting out a soft 'karp' and wiggling a bit. Arietta gets a waterbottle and dumps some water on a rag, and gently pats the magikarp with it. She only knew how to take good care of magikarps because of her time studying their evolution with Gurkinn. She worked with both of the evolutions quite a lot.

Bob watched the Magikarp carefully, not moving an inch. Then he nodded, as if giving his permission for the water type to be there. The shroomish didn't move from his 'throne' but he did swing one leg up in some imitation of a salute for the Magikarp.
Mami looked over her shoulder as she brushed Tom, "Um... I never did thank you properly for before," Mami said, although she didn't really think she could ever thank the other woman enough for her help. She focused on Tom for a moment, "You were really cool back there," she said, glad the other girl couldn't see the slight blush on her face at the moment.

Colt stepped out of the shower and began washing his clothes in the bathtub. 'I wonder how strong this regions champion is? I've heard from Cynthia that the previous champion, Steven Stone, was strong. Apparently he retired though." Colt often thought about random topics when he was left alone to think. 'What do those two think of me? Am I the scary veteran with a heart of gold? or am I the stuck up kid who thinks he's all tough?' He continued thinking as he washed his clothes. Lucifer nods to indicate he understood and began to play. Lilith purred to Lucifer, then frowned when she was ignored. She looked around the room, then walked over to the sword and leaned against it in an attempt to incite jealousy , looking at Lucifer, who was still ignoring her. Lilith always tried to get Lucifer to fall in love with her, but he was too stubborn.

Scim looked down at the glaceon and blinked its one eye, Moraya looked at the pokemon like it was crazy, and made a noise to let her know exactly what she thought. Moraya then seemed to understand and looked at Luxray, snickering. She pranced up to Lucifer, looked intensely at it, and walked behind him and up onto the bed behind the pokemon. Moraya yips and leaps off the bed and onto Lucifer's head, trying to incite roughhouse play. She wrapped her ribbons all around him and looked at the other two pokemon who sat agape at Moraya. Scim chitters like it's worried that she's going to get hurt and braces itself to leap in and help. Wilbur wiggles again at the shroomish and accidentally slides off the been with a surprised 'karp!' Ignoring the pokemon, Arietta smiles at Mami, "If you're talking about the fire, it's no problem. I'm not going to let you just sit up in a tree and burn to death. I'm just glad you're alright." She slides over to the side of the bed and puts Wilbur back up.

Bob rolled to one side, peering over the edge at the Magikarp, making a few noises, inquiring if the fish was alright. He leaned out a little farther and then with a cry of surprise, suddenly rolled right off, landing on Wilbur with a thud. Nina meanwhile had stopped sunning herself and was watching Mami as she brushed Tom.
Mami smiled gently, "But still... I'm lucky that it was you... even if they wanted to help me, how many people could have gotten me out of that tree without being hurt?" she asked, smiling as Tom groaned happily. He loved having his fur brushed. "I mean, I was pretty high up," she said, humming as she brushed the Ursaring. Tom probably would have gotten her if Arietta hadn't... but she would've had lots of bruises to show for it. Arietta's way had definitely been preferable.

The professor glanced back as they walked. "Oh, you mean Goro's readings? I take notes on his energy levels at different times of day and before and after certain events, such as flight or battle. By keeping track of his levels, I can determine how quickly his energy depletes and recharges, and possibly activities that slow or hasten his recharging." She explained, occasionally gesturing in the air with her hands. A habit of hers when she spoke of things she actually cared about. "After I find a working source of energy that originated from the Kalosian ancients, possibly even from Golurks of similar strength to Goro originating from Kalos, then I can compare the sources properly and determine how closely they are related, or if they have a high chance of being the same."

The youth smiled softly at her, "It's not often I see a child put so much effort into a project," he said, shaking his head, although the comment may sound out of place to anyone that didn't know of Seamus' 'condition'. The woman was much older than him currently, at least as far as appearances went. "It won't be easy... the Kalosians were a very... interesting people back then," he said and shook his head. "Of course, I was usually in other regions during that era," he explained. He paused, wondering if he should talk so openly about his past... it could be unsettling for some, or worse.

Colt stepped out of the bathroom with his clothes cleaned and back on. "Sorry for the wait. You can go in now, Mami." He walked over and sat at the edge of one of the beds, chuckling at the sight of the Sylveon wrapped around Lucifer. Lucifer jumped in surprise as the Sylveon wrapped around him. His first instinct was to emit a high electric shock out of his body, but he realized the pokemon was just playing and wasn't trying to cause harm. He started running around, hoping the Sylveon would let go without getting hurt. Eventually, Lucifer started rolling on the ground, trying to scrape the pokemon off his back, and managed to get it loose by wedging the Sylveon between the bathroom door and itself. He got up and licked his paw, smiling from the fun little distraction.

Arietta tucks her hair behind her ear, "Well, it was no problem I'm just glad I was there."
Arietta waves at Colt as she just observes the pokemon, "Well, they're energetic right now." She chuckles lightly. Moraya squeaks and shakes her fur back into place, smiling as well. She playfully headbutts Lucifer and prances over to Scim and Lilith, sitting down and posing for the two with an aura saying 'that's how you do that'. Scim lefts out a sigh and relaxes. Jeeves throws his cards down in frustration as Theo wins the game.

Mami nods and then checks Tom over one more time to make sure she'd gotten him brushed properly before she went to the bathroom, humming as she ran the water for a bath. Mami sighed, a bath would feel really nice right about now.
Bob glared up the side of the bed and then threw himself at the bedspread, trying to climb his way back to that very comfy pillow. He didn't get very far before he would slip down and land on top of Wilbur again. The shroomish grumbled, wondering how the Magikarp could be so hard and rock like... weren't fish supposed to be squishy or something?

Colt laughs at the pokemon playing. "They sure seem to be having fun, that's for sure." He stretches his arms behind his back. "So do you plan to enter the pokemon contest? I personally am going to stick with gym battling. Style isn't so much my thing." Lilith glared at Moraya with a look of pure hatred. Lilith straitens out and struts over to Lucifer, batting her eyes. She walks over to him and tries to playfully tap him in on the head. Instead, Lucifer moved out of the way, oblivious to her and jumps up on the bed beside Colt, causing Lilith to loose her balance and fall on her face. She pouts and walks back to Moraya and purrs at her, asking her for advice.

Arietta thinks for a moment, "I don't think I will. I've never been the show off type- although Moraya would probably love a contest." she looks at the pokemon, "In truth I don't think I'd be good at it. From the glimpses I've seen it's all about teaching your pokemon how to make their moves flashy and beautiful- I barely know how to train my pokemon, so that's not going to happen soon." Arietta taps her lip and pauses, "Plus I'd need a pretty dress, which I didn't bring with me."
Moraya licks her paw and smooths the fur on her head, then squeaks up at Scim. Scimitar blinks and lowers itself to the pokemon, and Moraya kisses it just below it's eye. Scim chitters in a flustered manner, then his eye rolls up into his head and the point Moraya kissed glows, particles of energy shoot out, and are absorbed into the pokemon. Moraya steps out of the way and Scim just falls flat on it's face, shield rolling away. Moraya coughs lightly then yips something along the lines of 'be straightforward.'

Mami sighs as she climbs out of the tub and dries her hair, changing into a pair of green sweat pants and a fairly large shirt before she moves outside, humming to herself. The young woman moved to the bed sits down on it finally, "Hee, I haven't slept inside for a really long time," she said, cheerfully. She couldn't even name the last time this had happened.

Colt nods. "Yeah, I don't usually go with the whole flashy thing myself. Besides, I also forgot to bring my pretty dress." He chuckled a bit. Colt looked at Mami. "Same here. I think it's been a month for me. I just prefer the ruggedness of the outdoors. Something about people living alongside nature has always appealed to me." He smiled. "Though sleeping in a nice comfy bed has its merits, too." Lilith nods. She had never thought to be 'straight forward'. It was a very foreign idea to her. Lilith looked at the fallen sword. Being straight forward did seem to be effective. She walked over beside the bed Colt was on and layed down, pondering this new idea.

Arietta rolls her eyes at Colt's comment, but nods at the comments about the bed, "I'd imagine that it would to someone who sleeps outside most of the time. I myself am a towns person. I like people- nature is nice and all but I like the people and the communities too much to say more then that." Moraya stares at Scim, and ponders why that attack did so much damage on him. Maybe she actually did some damage in their battle earlier. She shrugs and makes a nest out of the tassels, laying down on them and going to sleep.

Mami blinked at the other two, "What's this about a dress?" she asked, not really sure what they were talking about, "Do I need to wear something fancy to be in a contest?" She asked worriedly, as she hadn't really brought anything to extravagant clothing wise. If she didn't have the right thing to wear, it was possible that she wouldn't be able to take part... so much for trying new things.
Bob was pushing and tugging at Wilbur's side, completely engrossed in his task as he tried to get the large Magikarp propped up on his stomach so that he leaned against the bed. That done, the shroomish began climbing up, finally about to reach his goal that was that wonderful pillow, "Bob!" Mami said disappointedly, "Don't use your friends as step stools," she scolded bending down to pick him up. The Shroomish looked down at Wilbur and then to Mami, and cocked his head to one side, as if to ask, 'why not?'

Colt mentally winced as he thought of the joke he made. 'What am I, 60? Note to self, don't make anymore stupid jokes. I need to work on my reservoir of jokes.' He looked towards Mami. "No, no, you don't need to wear anything fancy, though most people prefer to." He petted Lucifer. "As far as I know, it's all about the pokemon."

Arietta shrugs and looks to Mami, "Sometimes the competitors like to get involved in the routines, but then they have custom dresses that match the moves they want their pokemon to use. But others usually just wear casual clothes. Although," She flops back onto the bed, "it earns bonus points if you look nice." Arietta looks over at Colt and remembers something, "Hey Colt, how's your burn?" Wilbur sighs, deciding to just go to sleep on the floor.

Mami nodded slowly, "Hmm... makes sense," she said, and sat down on the bed, still drying her hair. "Well, I don't know if I'll be any good at this contest thing anyway, so I'll just wing it and see how it goes," she decided, holding Bob close to her. The shroomish yawned widely, making Mami smile as he settled down to sleep. Tom had curled up on the balcony, with Nina snuggling close to him.
Mami yawned herself, "You said, we'd share the bed?" she asked, "Are you sure you don't want it to yourself, I don't mind," Mami said, although she couldn't help but look at the bed longingly, in spite of her words, it was clear she really wanted to sleep on this bed. The trees and the forest were nice, but Mami would love not having to sleep on the hard ground just once.

Colt touched his back where the burn was. "It's doing well. I actually forgot about it until now. It does sting a bit when I move a lot." He flicks his hair away from his eyes. "It's nothing I can't handle, though. Could have been a lot worse out there." He falls on his back, lying on the bed with his hands behind his head. "This is nice, just relaxing after the events of the last few hours."

Arietta pats the bed next to her, "Come on, I don't mind sharing a bed." She curls up on her side, and thinks for a moment, "We can go fancy-clothes shopping tomorrow... I mean, nothing here will have that Kalosian flair, but it'll still look nice."
Arietta nods to Colt, "It is. First relaxing night since the start of my vacation." She scans him over, "If you get uncomfortable, there's some aloe lotion in my bag. It's very nice on sunburns, so I imagine it'd be nice on normal burns as well."

Mami looked at Colt, "A burn?" she asked, not sure how it happened, and she decided that she didn't need to know. Going to her bag, Mami dug around until she pulled out a fairly large first aid kit, "There's some stuff in here that's really good for burns," she offered. "I have a lot of things for first aid... I'm kind of accident prone," she said, grinning at the other two, as she rubbed the back of her head.
"That sounds fun... I'm not really good with fashion though, so could you help pick something out?" Mami asked, certain that the other girl had better fashion sense than she did. She sat on the bed and looked at colt, willing to help if he said he needed help with the burn ointments or anything like that. Mami hated to see other people in pain, and went to some lengths to make sure they didn't have to, if she could.
