"I can deal with it, don't worry." Colt sat up. "I prefer to fight through it without any help. A lot of people call me stubborn. It's more of a pride thing than anything. Even if I had the supplies myself I wouldn't use them unless absolutely necessary." He layed back down and closed his eyes. "Thanks for the offer, though."

Arietta rolls her eyes at Colt, and looks to Mami, "I still have some burns on my legs. They sting if I'm paying attention to me, but... with my 'abilities' I enhanced the medicine the doctors put on me- so they're mostly healed now. Although, it'd be nice it I could still get some treatment on them if possible." She pulls up her pant legs, revealing reddened skin. It looked like it was irritated.

Mami looked at Colt, not really sure she liked his plan, but there wasn't much she could do about it... "Alright... but still, it isn't healthy to ignore pain... I mean, that's why we feel pain, so that we know when something's wrong with our bodies... it can be really dangerous to ignore it... especially with something like a burn," she said, suddenly feeling talkative. Her father was a doctor, so Mami was very passionate about this kind of subject, "Even several days after the initial burn, they can get infected very easily," she explained, looking at his with large eyes, staring at him intently, "This is because the burn tears away the first layer of defense the immune system has: Skin. Sometimes, pieces will hang off of the body, or fold down under other skin, and the infections from that are just horrible. Usually they'd have to amputate, but with the back, they would have no choice but to just scrape the skin back, bit by bit, tearing and scraping the skin off, but they have to be careful not to get the muscles, so it's really tricky. pulling all the bad stuff away so that none of it's left," she said, shaking her head.
She then turned to Arietta, "Okie dokie," She said with a grin, as if the rather morbid things she had just moments ago had never happened, "These are bad... was it a Hounddoom?" she asked, spreading the medicine on the girls legs... Her father had treating people from all over the world, and had seen wounds caused by a lot of different pokemon. Mami couldn't pick up on at least some of them herself.

Colt looked at Mami. "Ummmmm, maybe after you're done with Arietta you could help me over here." Colt had a strong sense of pride, but he wasn't stupid. If it was something as simple as a bruise or a cut he would be fine, but Mami made a burn sound like a huge problem. He was actually kind of worried. He sat up so his back wasn't laying on anything.

Arietta bursts our laughing and smiles at Mami after a moment trying to recover, "Good job, Mami, put the fear of germs into him. I don't think I could do that." She lifts her redder leg up and wiggles her toes, "and, yeah, it was a houndoom. I didn't like the owner's attitude so I stood up and tried to tell him to leave, so he tried to burn my legs off." She sighs, "Arsehat." She looks back at the girl, "I think some neosporin and medical wrap would just do the job. But, I feel as though you would know more then me with this kind of thing."

Mami was glad that Colt had changed his mind, although Arietta's reaction had made her blush quite badly. Mami hadn't meant to scare Colt, she had just been telling him what she knew on the subject... Well, what she had heard her father say on the subject at least. She wondered if some of it was a bit of an exaggeration though.
"... That Silas guy you talked about?" Mami asked quietly. If so, she could understand why the other two had said she would be happier not meeting him. she went to work on applying the medicine and bandages, "I think that this will work for tonight... I'm not sure how to treat Houndoom burns by myself... so, you should both be careful," Mami said, nodding softly, "If it gets too painful, let me know... I can call my Dad, he's a great doctor," Mami said.
In the back of her mind though, there was a bit of regret about this... about Xer- something... that if she had made a different choice in the past, she could have helped these two better than she could now.. Oh well, no point in worrying about it... whatever 'it' was.

Arietta nods, and flops back onto the bed, "Guy was a jerk. Also, I think I'm going to try and sleep. Try not to do anything that would require protection while I'm asleep- gods know I can sleep through it." She laughs softly and turns away from them and curls up.

Mami smiled at Arietta, "I'll do my best," she said, and then ran a hand through her hair before she moved to Colt. She yawned softly before she began to work on his treatment, "This shouldn't take too long," she promised him. Once she was done, mami decided that she was more than ready for bed. The girl applied the ointment, humming softly, "This Silas guy is... why would he have his pokemon attack you? ... Doesn't make sense..." she said, shaking her head confusedly.

Colt mumbled,"I'm sure I could handle anything that would-" He thought for a second, then gave a slight blush. "Ooooooohhhhhh, was THAT what she meant?" Colt silently shook his fist at the seemingly sleeping Arietta. Colt winced a bit when Mami applied the ointment. "Thanks for this. It could have gotten a lot worse if you weren't here." Colt changed his mood when Silas was mentioned. "He's no big deal, just some common thug. Best to forget about him." Mami finished applying the ointment, and Colt put his shirt back on. "Thanks again." Colt got under the sheets of his bed and closed his eyes. He felt the lights turn off, probably Mami before she went to sleep herself. Colt drifted into sleep.

Jessica nodded, seeming unfazed by his unusual answers. "Good. I like a challenge." She stated, her voice determined with a hint of the fiery trainer's passion she had so long ago. "And, as for your 'child' comment, while everyone is a relative child compared to you, I happen to be an adult compared to a normal human. Twenty-four, in fact."

Arietta chuckles when she hears Colt finally understand what she met, and slowly drifts off. Meanwhile, Jeeves and Theo are still playing cards. Theo has beat Jeeves 5 times, and Jeeves is determined to win at least one time before they retreat to bed.

Mami Saito
Arietta's comment had gone completely over the girl's head. She had thought it was a comment about how Arietta had saved Mami before, and nothing more than that. Mami didn't think about things like Arietta had talked about very often, besides, she was pretty tired. All she wanted was to lay on that bed and get a good nights sleep. After turning out the lights, she walked back and lay next to Arietta, sighing happily as she hugged Bob to her like a teddy bear. Today had been a good day, in her eyes at least, and she went to sleep with a smile on her face.

Seamus Walker
Seamus chuckled at her, "I suppose you are an adult," he admitted, and then looked her over, "I apologize," he said, liking that fire in her eyes. "I suppose it's late enough that we should just go to bed," he said, and then paused, "Unless you would like to share a drink with me before that," he offered. Yes, he would happily try to seduce her, if she was interested. Whether she was interested in such things or not, Seamus had yet to discover.

Jess raises a brow at the offer of drinks. "I'm not one to drink often, but I'll consider it this time. However, I must secure my work in my room beforehand." She answered as the pair arrived at the hotel. "Drinking and vital research is not a good combination, after all. I've had roommates learn that lesson the hard way."

Seamus smiled softly at the woman, "Glad you can make the exception," he said, with a small bow, "I can certainly agree with that, alcohol doesn't mix with a lot of things," he said calmly. Then smirked, "But it can be fun if you use it right... I'll try to show you tonight, if you're interested," he said, grinning at her casually, feeling very playful all of a sudden.

Jess chuckled and rolled her eyes. "We'll see." She said, entering the hotel. "Wait in the lobby; I'll be down in a moment." She requested, heading upstairs to her room. The man was strange, no doubt, though it seemed even time itself couldn't suppress basic instincts.

Seamus smiled her and then nodded, "Fair enough, Professor," he said, moved to find a chair to sit in. He watched her leave, humming to himself, taking a moment to look at his new body in the mirror. He was a little thinner than his former self, perhaps too much so. Seamus wondered if he should have started out even younger, it was always easier to train and grow when you started early. However, his plans were nearing fruition... It would be problematic to be a child at this point... also, he had to deal with Elaine. She was too dangerous to leave to her own devices.

A few minutes later the Professor returned, sans-bags. If this was a romantic comedy, she would've been all trussed up in fancy clothes and looked beautiful, stealing the protagonist's heart with a playful smile. But this isn't a rom-com, so she was still in her clothing from before. At least she had brushed her hair again, fixing it after the helicopter from earlier messed it up.
"All right, I'm ready." Jess nods to the 'young' man. "Though, I've no clue where any drinking establishments are in Vendanturf, so you'll need to be our guide."

Seamus Walker
The red head looked the woman over carefully as she walked out. He hadn't expected her to dress up at all, she seemed too business like to care make something special of a simple drink. He smiled at her and walked up to her, offering her his arm, "Shall we go then?" He asked casually, "There used to be an old pub somewhere around here.." he mused, although it had been a few decades, "It has likely been torn down after all this time though," he said out loud. Things changed in small towns like this... Well, if worse came to worse, he was sure the hotel could provide them with a selction of drinks. He looked at Jess curiously, curious about this intelligent and unique woman.

Jess politely declined his arm - they HAD just met a short time ago - but nodded to his suggestion. "Lead the way, then. Should it be gone, I'm sure the locals could direct us to another tavern." She assured, mildly curious about his curiosity about her. The woman wasn't anything too special, in her eyes; not the prettiest, strongest, or most elegant around, with her intelligence being her redeeming factor. Over the years her awkwardness had subsided, luckily, though she still wasn't as charming as others. Still, at least she was earnest and honest, taking her work seriously with a simple goal of making the world a better place.

Seamus Walker
There were so many people in this world, and all of them different... however, Seamus often felt like he kept meeting the same people over and over again. Jess, for the moment at least, was an exception. Physical appearance wasn't all that important to the man. Usually, he made certain he was pretty enough for both him and his partner, or that was the joke he liked to make.
He led the girl to where the pub had been, "Hmm, seems there's something here... although I think..." he said, looking at the neon sign that read 'Hot Rods' with an image of two men that seemed... very close emblazoned on it. "I think there has probably been a change in management since I was last here," he said nonchalantly.

Jess blinked. "...I don't think I've seen a gay bar since I got lost in Lumiose. Interesting, they have them here as well." She commented, also not particularly surprised by the thumping music from inside and multitude of men not-so-sneakily entering. "Perhaps there's a more traditional pub nearby?"

Seamus chuckled, "Fair enough," he mused, "I don't really have an interest in that kind of thing at the moment," he said, meaning other men in general. He walked with her, finding a small café that would serve wine and beer, and a few other things depending on one's taste. "So, tell me about yourself?" he asked, "You have strong pokemon for just a scientist," he said. The man had no proof on this, of course, but the man had been around a while... he had a certain amount of practice at judging this kind of thing as quickly as possible. (OOC: Coj/Cold, I think you can just go ahead and let colt and the others wake up... Not sure how long Seamus will talk. Got carried away with this, sorry)

Colt opened his eyes and stretched as he sat up in bed. He noticed the two girls still sleeping on the other bed and checked his watch. It was only 7:30 am. He looked at Lucifer, who had just began to stir beside him in bed. "That was a nice sleep, wasn't it?" Colt whispered. He sat there for a moment, thinking. He still had plenty of time before the match he had with Wattson. There wasn't really a need to wake up the other two at the moment, though it was possible they would here him moving around. Colt swung his legs over the bed and made his way to the bathroom. "Today should be interesting." He turned on the water and wet his face to wake him up, then went back and sat on the bed. He lifted his jacket and looked at his belt of pokemon. On his belt were 5 pokeballs and one ultra ball. He put his hand on the odd one out. "Better remember to return this guy for the fight. I'm not ready yet."

Arietta mumbled something in her sleep, and rolled over, grabbing Mami and snuggling up to her in her sleep, "Hi mom." She mumbles, and seems to go back into a deep sleep. Jeeves looks at Colt with wide eye with bags under them, Theo yawned and played another card down. They were at it all night.

Mami Saito
Mami wasn't really sure what had happened, but she didn't object, she was still asleep herself. She nuzzled up to whoever it was that was hugging her, not ready to wake up yet. She smiled softly, normally Mami would have had some kind of nightmare during the night, but tonight had been nightmare free, a rarity for her.
Nina Wondered over to Jeeves and Theo, shaking her head at them, wondering why they hadn't slept... such strange Pokémon. She watched them play their games, trying to figure out the rules, although that may take her a while.

Colt smiled as the two girls cuddled up with each other. "Maybe I should just let these two sleep and go get prepared for the match." At 8 am Colt wrote a note saying where he would be, placed it on the counter, and silently got up and walked out of the hotel with Lucifer and Lilith in tow. The hotel had a complimentary breakfast, so he picked up a sandwich and walked over to the pokemon center to swap out pokemon. "I think I'll take Ares instead." Colt put the Ultra ball into the PC slot, and with a flash of light it was replaced with a pokeball. Colt made a few more changes to his team, then walked over to the pokemon gym. Wattson was standing outside when he noticed him. "Before we battle, let me finish this sandwich. I'm a little early."

Arietta wakes up and stretches, then tries to roll over-forgetting she's on the edge of a bed- and falls on the ground with a loud yelp. She gets up and sees her pokemon that are still awake. "Sillies, you should go to bed like a good pokemon. How many games is this now?" The espurr hold up his hand to try and show her and just falls on it's face, asleep. Theo collapses beside it, and Arietta laughs. She grabs some new clothes and whips them on and returns all of the pokemon but Scim and Moraya. Arietta wakes the two pokemon up, and walks over to the counter, seeing the note. "Oh lord! That butthead left without us!" She gets her bag and runs towards the door, "Mami! Colt left for the gym! I'll be on my way, but know I'll be there!" She, Scim, and Moraya run out the door
Arietta skips breakfast and heads towards the gym, brushing her hair while running. No way she was missing this! She almost trips, but Scim catches her. She thanks the pokemon, and finally reaches the gym. "Oh thank goodness! I caught you before the battle started!" She laughs, out of breath, her pokemon behind her, "Next time wake us up!" She whines, and smiles at Colt and Wattson.

Mami blinked at Arietta, not sure what was going on, "Okay, I'm up," she said sleepily, moving around bleary eyed. The girl didn't rush like Arietta, and in fact didn't want to leave the bed... so ... so very comfy, "I'll be right there..." the young woman muttered, turning around so that her feet were on the pillow as she promptly fell right back to sleep.

Jess shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "Ah, you noticed? Well, back before I attended university, I was a pokemon trainer, like most other kids. For a while, I was determined to be the strongest around, maybe even become Unova's next Champion. However, the dream lost its allure over time, and by the time I had eight badges and a team ready to compete professionally, I was applying to college." She chuckled softly. "I still occasionally catch pokemon from time to time, and I treat them well, but I don't battle like I used to."

Seamus Walker
The red head, nodding as she told her story, "So, you're from Unova then?" He asked, smiling softly. Seamus didn't really know where he was from... the country probably didn't exist anymore, so why worry about it. "Just curious, have you written anything? about your findings, I mean," he said. It was very possible that he could have read a paper of hers, he just needed to hear the name of it. He raised a hand to call the waiter over, "What would you like to drink then, Professor?" he asked, nodding politely when the man arrived.
