There was a rumbling. Then a thundering. Then a cry of "YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as a crazed girl suddenly burst into the Bar, riding atop a giant rock behemoth. The pair screeched to a halt just before they collided with the edge of the counter, almost lurching their trunks into the bartender’s flabbergasted expression. The girl grinned sheepishly, reversing her ride a couple steps. She slid gracefully down his back, and stood for a moment gazing nostalgically around at the old memories. The aroma of fresh-brewed beverages, the cool, dark atmosphere, this was a familiar habitat, a place of celebration and gatherings. All that was missing were the crowds of people, laughing and drinking the night and sometimes even day away.

Boy, had she missed this place. Though habitually shy, all her reticence tended to melt away in the warm company of friends and cheers. This was her earliest home, her hangout. A comfortable place to be.

She spotted one obscure person sitting in a secluded booth, and smiled, gesturing for her Rhydon to come along. She waved amiably to her acquaintance as she approached, nonchalantly ignoring the foretold amazement on his face as she sat down across from him. Rocky parked himself beside the table, giving a welcome nod to the tiny Pokémon sitting on top of it.

“Hello, Zak. What’s up? Thanks for ordering our drinks.”

She stated to her table partner casually, assuming the unclaimed smoothies. She passed the green to a parched Rocky, who immediately downed half of it in a single gulp. Jess grinned and turned her attention to the Ralts on the table.

“Is this Andrew? Hi there! Remind me to introduce you to Alice and Bobble later, I bet you’ll love them.” She took a short sip of her smoothie, and warmly addressed the other trainer again. “So, Zak, how have your Adventures been going lately?”

Wes tugged open the lofty timber door, swiftly welcomed by the putrid with of old ale. Wes pinched his nose in angst, raking across the dingy pub in hopes of spotting a familiar face. Alongside the bustling trainer stood the infant Sid Vicious, twitching in panic as various noontime drunks bumped past for their quick dosage of nicotine. The heavy door slammed shut behind the deadbeat drunks, Sid leaping behind Wes’ legs and nestling his body into a submissive posture. For a species with such a rebellious character, little Vicious was the most lily-livered of the teen’s motley crew. Sure, he was a bubba, but the lack of anarchy from the Pokémon concerned him from time to time. Wavering from this thought, Wes cradled the larva and shyly ambled to the hub of the tavern, the tang of beer growing ever stronger. He warily pulled back a barstool, parking before plopping Sid on the adjacent stool.

“Two shots and a Double Vodka and Redbull”, he coughed meekly. The brazen bartender raised an eyebrow, instead sliding across a double of cherry-dyed smoothies. Wes groaned, fingering the straw to his lips and taking a sip of the tropical blend. Beside him, Sid extended his stubby arms, barely grasping the hefty glass before chugging down the drink himself. Wiping away a milkshake moustache, little vicious hopped off of his high-chair, landing on the bricked flooring before scuttling across the tavern with piqued curiosity. Cutely toddling around the bar like his master would when he was a bubba, Vicous gawked in awe at the hefty bipedal rhinoceros sat on the outskirts of a secluded booth. Curiously ushering closer to the Rhydon, he readied to scramble up the brick climbing frame, all the while Wes attempting to hustle various over-eighteens for a sip of alcohol...

With the rather over the top entrance of his expected friend, Jess, and her Rhydon Rocky, Zak noticed another familiar face had made an entrance and was attempting to purchase drinks, to no avail. Turning his attention to the girl for the time being, the boy gave a warm smile, pushing the green apple smoothies towards Jess and Rocky. "Andrew, I'd like you to meet Jess and Rocky, Jess and Rocky, this here Ralts is Andrew." Zak introduced his psychic companion warmly and the tiny pokémon grinned cheerfully at the others.

"My recent adventures, well, I've done so much. Reversing to my child stage, exploring tropical attols with my Gligar, Dana. Not to mention entering a rather entertaining sounding safari island to be met with collosal and rather dangerous fossils. All in a day's work, eh?" Zak chuckled, recalling some of his main adventures, "As a matter of fact, see that kid hassling people for booze? He was the one who accompanied me on Adventure Island, I'll get him to come over for a drink. Excuse me one moment."

Pacing across the darkened bar, the boy placed a hand on Wes' shoulder, "Fancy seeing you here, it's been so long!" Zak chuckled, giving the boy a little wave, "Wanna come sit with us? I'll get you a drink in, you can go and keep Jess company." With that, he produced several more coins from his pocket, purchasing the double vodka and redbull for his long time friend before following him back to the booth where Jess and Rocky were located...

Karmas cautiously opened the door to the pub. He peered in to see if anyone was in the pub, and when he saw that there was, he walked in. Following the trainer was his Nuzleaf, Watermelon, who had been by his side through everything. In Karmas' arms was a small yellow and black bulb, the newest addition to his team. The trainer walked up to the bar and put Sunny on one of the bar stools. The Sunkern soon took to spinning around on the seat, with Watermelon making sure that he didn't fall off.

"Uh, bartender, can I please have a Sprite and two apple juices please?" asked Karmas, still not yet old enough to get that vodka that he desired.

The bartender quickly poured a couple of glasses for Karmas, who placed a couple of coins on the bar top and turned away. He looked around for a nice and comfy place to sit. When he finally found one he grabbed Sunny and on of the drinks and got Watermelon to take the other two. They quickly sat down, well Karmas and Watermelon sat down and Sunny was placed on top of the table. Karmas gave Sunny his apple juice and looked around the bar looking to see if there was anyone he knew. The trainer must have zoned out, because when he looked back Sunny wasn't there.

"Oh crap," muttered Karmas.

He frantically looked around until he saw the Sunkern happily bouncing towards a group of people who were having drinks together. The trainer jumped to his feet and ran over to his pokemon, sort of regretting taking him to the bar.

Silence. It usually existed outside establishments such as games stores on weekdays, nobody buying anything on Tuesdays. However, a few blocks down, the bar was bustling with activity, yet the small scene at said games store would have someone rechecking their eyeglasses at the unusual scene with one trainer and two pokemon trying to soothe a third, who was sitting atop a lamppost surveying the scene with claws outstretched.

Again, the Infernape made a dash for the light pillar and started to scale it, and again he was swatted down with a sudden scratch by the loner roosting on top of the pinnacle. Again, the chimp's fall was broken with the unsuspecting trainer being flattened somewhat and again the smaller chimp gave a cheeky laugh before clambering halfway up the post and leaping off onto the young man's face, eliciting a chilling chuckle from the Cat Ferret above. Under regular circumstances, he'd have kept her in her ball, but Jackie's tendency to be a curious wee monkey often overrode his control, and the results were one worthy of being on You've been Framed: The Shadow Zangoose suddenly finding herself outside with an exasperated Jamie looking at her in surprise before she noticed him and bolted with alarming haste up the nearest object he couldn't reach, which happened to be the very lightpost she was now sat upon, surveying the surroundings. Volcape, who had already attempted to haul Zeugnum down a dozen times already, was showing signs of wear and tear, especially after that incident where her display of her Shadow Panic attack caused the mighty ape to suddenly forget how to hold things and land painfully onto the tarmac head first.

Yes, he could almost see why he had wanted her, and knew deep down inside the burden he was taking up, but such was fate's path. As the Aipom gave another cheerful laugh, Jamie getting up and rubbing his aching head, he gazed up with a full frown at the dark-hearted one, whose tail was wiggling strangely, before the feline made a sudden pounce off the lamppost, a sudden cry ringing from his mouth as Jamie made a dash for the cheeky kitty as Zeugnum bolted down the street, three monkeys pursuing.

In spite of her young age, the Zangoose was indeed very nippy and as she turned the corner, she ran straight into the grip of the awaiting Infernape, whose agility surpassed such youngsters as sweat evaporated from his head in small puffs and as the Shadow pokemon squirmed in his tight grip, she gave a sideways leer towards her new owner, almost cursing his ingenuity as the Aipom hopped off and scampered beside her seemingly adopted bigger brother while Jamie plucked the weighty ferret from his rather tired ape.

"You're a right pain in the arse at times, you know that?" Jamie sighed as the Zangoose took the liberty of hopping onto his shoulder and perching at the position, almost hauling him down from the weight before he righted himself, the fickle pussy giving a sly purr before looking at the door of the establishment the four were in front of. Giving a dejected sigh of defeat once more, something rather common to him after the acquisition from the female trainer, he shifted the Zangoose to grip his back like a rucksack, something which gave him slightly more comfort when considering that said feline was one to be quite the handful, and headed for the bar.

Entering, Zeugnum gave a devious grin before dismounting Jamie, the momentum sending him on an erotic date with the floor as his face slammed into it, the attention of a few drinkers attained as the Shadowgoose trotted on all fours by him as he rose, his nose giving a couple of small drips of blood onto the floor from the impact as Volcape helped him onto a nearby stool, the barman clearly less than impressed by the entrance. Turning towards the door, Jamie shook his head as he attempted to stem the nosebleed caused by eighty eight pounds of evil thrusting itself backwards while glaring at the same mass of fur currenty gauging its foot size against some indents in the floor.

'Oh, yes...this girl is a challenging burden,' Jamie thought silently as he shook off delirium before turning to the barman, giving a few croaks for a few smoothies before helping Jackie onto a stool as Volcape took his own seat beside her, the sneaky ferret hopping onto her trainer's knee after scaling him, squeals of pain emerging from him as the Zangoose's claws dug into his back and her sipping of the cherry drink making his eyes reel towards a certain table where a certain girl sat with her Rhydon.

At that moment, Jamie wished for the ground to swallow him whole, much like that first adventure as embarrassment tinted his cheeks a rosy pink.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

Matthew sang gently to himself as he approached the little building in front of him, using his Pokédex to track the small bar in the distant region of Fizzy Bubbles, the route tracking him with his little shinx by his side, sniffing everything it passed, occasionally attempting to steal something from passersby as a stern look from the beginner trainer told him to leave alone. Nodding gently with a smile on his face, Matthew whistled as the shinx jumped up onto his shoulder, its legs peculiarly placed to support his weight on the trainer, its beaming face hovering over his shoulder.

Finally reaching the double doors of the pub, Matthew smiled at the old fashioned swinging doors, temping to jump in with a ‘stick ‘em up cowboy’, his foolish pride and imagery nature getting the better of his actions. Putting one per curios hand on the door Matthew pushed gently as he saw bundling faces crowded round the table, recognizing a few as he went to the bar.

Tossing a few coins on the straight tabled surface, Matthew ordered a Guinness, nodding kindly to the barman as he looked down at his feet, a small yellow bud hopping from place to place as he saw a fellow trainer running after it. Approaching the panicking trainer, Matthew laughed as he saw him finally catch the lively one, extending his hand as a greeting. Nodding over to the nearby table, Matthew set for an new friend, Zak.

“Hey Zak. Long time no see.” Matthew noticed the rock giant next to him and the trainer it proceeded. “And company. Nice to meet you, the name’s Matthew” Bowing his head a little as he looked back up at the rock specimen.

“That look, do you see it?” Matthew said, pointing to the Rhydon’s eyes “That glint. I’ve been getting the same out of my Rhyhorn. I’m hoping it will evolve soon”

Matthew smiled, thinking back to his rhyhorn sitting carelessly on his belt, nodding to the two trainers.

“Mind if I pull up a seat?”

Two figures stood pensively before the swinging, double-doors of the quaint, little tavern. A monochromatic, female wolfpup heeled patiently at the feet of the taller figure; its lolling tongue panting rhythmically. The black-clad teenager bent down and gently scratched the little wolfpup under her chin. “I know you’re thirsty, girl,” he said. “It’s been a while since our last break. Maybe the barkeep will be…generous enough…to share something with us.” In response, the wolfpup playfully licked her trainer’s hand.

Standing again, the trainer Ben Hale strained his ears in an effort to better gauge the level of danger the drinking establishment posed. However, the muffled noise of conversation mixed with laughter, and the occasional cries of Pokemon issuing from within, didn’t appear to be threatening. Brow furrowed, he momentarily wondered if he and his companions had the right place after all. As he gazed uncertainly at the exterior of the rustic watering hole, the warning of the old, hooded traveler they had passed on the road the day before echoed in his mind.

“The FB Bar,” the gray-bearded stranger had said with a glint of mischief in his eye. “You’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. I’d avoid that place if I were you…”

Out of money and out of food, Ben had inquired of each traveler they met where the nearest eatery was, and though the wizened, old man had told Ben of the FB Bar, he had also sternly warned him to stay away. At the time, Ben disregarded the brown cloaked drifter’s advice; he seemed like nothing more than a living “fossil” and Ben was thirsty. Thirstier than he had been in a long time. Powerfully thirsty. Now that Ben was face-to-face with the saloon, he felt certain the old-timer had just been paranoid. This place wasn’t dangerous. Just unique. Ben glanced at the small Meditite by his side, wondering what his diminutive partner was thinking. The Yoga Pokemon Medeo turned to Ben, a quizzical expression on his tiny face, and shrugged.

“Yeah, I agree, mate,” Ben casually remarked. “How bad can it be?” He nodded in the direction of the bar and whistled for Hyneo to follow them inside.

* * *

Creeeeaaaak. Creeeeaaaak. The double doors swung open noisily on their hinges and Ben could tell right away that although the FB Bar was packed with people and Pokemon now, it had not seen business in quite some time. Stepping inside the dimly lit chamber, he quickly surveyed the scene with his grey-green eyes as Medeo and Hyneo shuffled in behind him. In one corner of the bar, a girl with long, black hair and glasses sat next to a massive Rhydon. Both were drinking smoothies. Across the table from her, a young man in a green striped shirt sat with a tiny Ralts, while a dark-haired young man in a black hooded sweatshirt followed by a Rhyhorn was making his way towards the booth. Seated on stools at the counter were an Infernape, an Aipom, and a red-faced boy with a bloody nose. The most malevolent-looking Zangoose Ben had ever seen clambered impishly up and down the boy’s back. Her trainer winced in pain with each step the CatFerret took and Ben felt sorry for the boy’s discomfort.

At that moment, a newborn Sunkern whizzed past Ben and into the crowd of people in the center of the room. Ben quickly jumped back out of the way as its trainer frantically raced after it. Ben instantly recognized the boy as one of the other trainers who had arrived in the world of Fizzy Bubbles about the same time he had. A quick glance at the Nuzleaf lounging nearby confirmed his suspicion. The frantic trainer followed the Sunkern past a spiky-haired teenager and a bashful Larvitar sauntering around the room, and Ben bolted in shock to see that spiky-haired teenager was none other than the young millionaire, Wes Wallace, who’s Corphish Ben had looked after and who had graciously traded him an Eevee not too long ago.

His mouth dry with thirst, Ben strode to the bar and nodded at the burly man behind the counter. “What’ll it be, runt?” the bartender barked in a gruff voice.

“Three waters, please,” Ben replied sheepishly. “With ice.”

The brawny proprietor regarded Ben scornfully but handed him the drinks.

“They're free, right?” Ben asked tentatively. When the bartender nodded Ben continued, “Thanks… I’m kind of low on money.” This pathetic explanation was simply met with a snort of derision.

Not wanting to give the bartender time to change his mind, Ben scooped up the drinks and quickly retreated with Medeo and Hyneo to a secluded booth near the jukebox. The three friends made quick work of their “beverages” and relaxed while watching the other patrons. After a moment Ben glanced at the jukebox. “How ‘bout some music, mates?” he asked cheerfully. Medeo nodded his onion-shaped head in agreement while Hyneo happily wagged her tail. Ben rose to his feet and crossed to the music machine. Dragging a hand through his short, brown hair he briefly considered his options. After a moment of deliberation, he reached into the brown, canvas messenger bag slung over his shoulder, dug out two coins, and inserted the change into the slot on the front of the machine. He selected Coldplay’s “Talk” and pressed play

One by one, other figures filed into the establishment, filtering gradually through the doorway like moments of sand in an hourglass. Time marked by the intervals between their comings. Most were foreign to Jessica, though a few she acknowledged in passing. Regardless of whether she recognized familiar faces or friends, the girl grinned excitedly. This was turning into a regular party. One of the recent arrivals even suggested music, unearthing the jukebox from a dim corner she never even knew existed. As cool, hypnotic music wafted through the tavern, she sank into ease, enjoying her drink and company. She listened with rapt interest and admiration as Zak rattled off his thrilling escapades.

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

Zak grinned, and pointed towards a young boy by the counter. Jessica’s heart leapt a beat when she recognized the kid’s face. Wes. The lad who defeated her in the PokéRinger competition not long ago, who ran up to her at the end and puzzled her emotions by warmly embracing her palm, and pronouncing her as “legendary”. The embarrassment crept slowly back to her face, unnoticed by her friend in the weak lighting.

"As a matter of fact, see that kid hassling people for booze? He was the one who accompanied me on Adventure Island, I'll get him to come over for a drink. Excuse me one moment.”

Zak stood up and went to persuade the boy to join them, as Jessica breathed a sigh and turned her head away. She quickly drank her cold smoothie, immersing herself in quiet and composure. She hardly noticed the entrance of two more people, including an awkward young man and his animated Shadow Zangoose. Nor did she realize the eyes of the self-conscious trainer were trained upon her.

“That look, do you see it?”

She jerked her head up in surprise. Another man stood above her, his black hair shrouded by a hood. He nodded affirmatively towards Rocky.

“That glint. I’ve been getting the same out of my Rhyhorn. I’m hoping it will evolve soon.”

Jessica then remembered this person’s name: Matthew, whose Rhyhorn had gotten involved in a scuffle with Rocky about a month ago. She studied her Rhydon’s gentle gaze, staring quietly at the new company with receptive, though slightly offhand acknowledgment. If he remembered such events, his mild expression did not expose any bitterness or grudge.

“Mind if I pull up a seat?” the trainer asked, and she nodded. As he settled himself, she smiled cordially.

“How’s RhyperBeam doing? Still energetic?” Jess chuckled, glancing to her Rhydon, who only smiled at the chatting pair absently.

“Oh, would you like something to drink? I could order for you.” She paused, reexamining Matthew’s obviously mature features and build. “Um… Unless you’d prefer alcohol. Heh.”

Togepi An After-Birthday Bash.

With glazed blue eyes gently wandering round the room caressing the sights of happy trainers and their Pokémon, Matthew reveled in the glory of his first successful year in Fizzy Bubbles, the special events held by the senior trainers giving many a jovial time; the thrills and spills of the Casino’s special draws, the coins for prizes getting in a stock of rare and valuable Pokémon, the new decks arriving at the trading card palace followed by the free gifts on the nation’s greatest day; its birthday.

Looking round the bar, Matthew spotted the earlier Sunkern being caught by his trainer, the trainer looking happy to receive his Pokémon back as he recognized him as the trainer who had taken his Hoppip, the grass master giving her a much more suitable home than he ever could. Looking around for more Pokémon, Matthew winced as he saw one trainer on the swiveling chairs at the bar, a Shadow Zangoose digging its claws into the trainers back to worsen the already injured trainer as blood streamed from his nose, one Infernape sitting to a stool of its own. Rolling his eyes, Matthew noticed two trainers together, having a laugh as they both tried to blag alcohol from other adult trainers, one with a small ralts in his hand, while the other held a Larvitar. Attiring his attention to other spaces amongst the bar, Matthew also found the origin of the calming music; the trainer sitting with a Poochyena and Meditite by his side as he sipped what looked to be water.

Relaxing back into the aftermost chair he had been allowed to accompany in, Matthew set about getting lost in the song, the words washing over him like an ocean as he began to enjoy the song for all its worth. Smiling at the girl sat across the table from him, Matthew followed her gaze to both his Rhyhorn and her Rhydon. Suddenly remembering where he had met her before, Matthew sent a cheeky look to the Rhyhorn, confirming his angst before gripping a pokéball from his belt, clicking the middle button to open it to a normal size before withdrawing the rock-type, the black sheen on the rocket ball a reminder of his past and a template of revenge for his future. Deciding it would be better to save the bar from a brawl, Matthew chuckled, the aggressive fighter obviously one to hold a grudge; but that was irrelevant for him, the Rhyhorn fights were his and his alone and with the permission to go ahead, Matthew would need a complete battle in the official arenas to continue.

While both trainers eyes glanced to the Rhydon’s stature, Matthew admired the evolved Pokémon. As Matthew clipped the pokéball firmly onto his waist, he found the sensation of movement as another shook from side to side. Picking the ball from his belt, he found the button to release the Pokémon. As he found himself looking down at the white light among the table, Matthew grin spread even wider as he found his coins go to good use with the purchase of the Pokémon on the table, a small Togepi which burst into the scene with a small ‘Priiii!’.

“Still not figured out how to break out of your pokéball yet Angel?” he asked as he picked up the Togepi with one swift arm movement, holding the attention seeker tightly so to avoid another incident of Pokémon running wild. Laying the his arm and subsequently the togepi on his lap, he felt the small cuddle of the shell Pokémon’s arms against his jumper before seeing the little one fall asleep in an instant.

Chuckling, Matthew looked up to Jessica, apoligisng for its outburst before properly introducing one half of the party, hushing his tone as he did so not to wake the normal-type. “This is Angel, my latest purchase. Best birthday gift I’ve ever bought myself” he said smiling as he looked upon the knackered Pokémon.

“How’s RhyperBeam doing? Still energetic?” Jessica said across the table as Matthew found his stride, a cheeky grin stretched from one side of his face to the other. “Angry, all of the time.” He joked, sharing the same resolve and willingness to handle the adventurous rock types. “Oh, would you like something to drink? I could order for you.” She asked politely as Matthew shook his head, smiling at the offer “Um… Unless you’d prefer alcohol. Heh.”

“I’m happy with a Guinness thanks” he said, raising his pint to his mouth before taking a drink, the refreshing bitter taste of the drink soothing after a hard day’s work. “You know, I’ve heard there’s been more sighting of new trainers here, and what with the birthday and all, I wonder if they’ll come in here. It is signposted all around the towns.”

Pondering on the implication, Matthew began to raise his voice as he stood; a beer in one and his newly bought togepi in the other, cuddling his arms with attention and care.

“Alright then you miserable lot. Let’s raise a pint to a successful birthday shall we? CHEERS”

OOC: Damn you initialhippyspinda.

BIC: Jamie's slight hiss faded slowly as the Zangoose eventually opted to clamber off his shoulders, clearly bored with using the human as a seat as she eventually slid to the floor, the young man's back screaming at him for the spinal abuse attained from said creature. Yet, he felt that Zeugnum had started to take a slight liking towards him, as daft as it sounded. While Volcape plucked and handed a banana smoothie to Jackie, who gave a random queef much to Jamie's slight disgust and chuckle from tainted ferret, the small cry of a Togepi in the arms of a trainer who seemed at ease as he called for a toast, which the boy was quite willing to follow, when all of a sudden, an unusually-dressed fellow entered, walking over to him with a parcel.

"Alexander Blackwall, delivery."

As the man thrust said package into Jamie's arms, the trainer somewhat bewildered at the mysterious being who vanished as spontaneously as he came, he opened that package with a sigh.

"...my name's not alexander, nimrod."

His sigh suddenly inverted as he noticed the pair of pokeballs within, both orbs being the ones he had obtained from a store a few blocks away. True, while the sale of pokemon was one somewhat unsavoury in his eyes, the very idea of the unique pokemon inside was of interest. One, which he knew of, was that of an Eevee, quite popular in these areas, plucking the left ball and giving it a tap to the bar, nosebleed averted with Volcape's aid. As the light faded, the youthful fox stood on the bar, giving a squeal of "Vee!" before nuzzling into Jamie's lap, much to the shrugging of Zeugnum's shoulders as the trainer scratched it behind the ears. The other ball, however, was one completely new to him, for this one wasn't a purchase he had made. As he checked the receipt for the items, his eyes widened considerably before pouring the half-full smoothie glass onto an unsuspecting Shadow Zangoose.

"You little bastard, Zeugnum! Candies are one thing, but I need that bloody cash for supplies and food and shit! Just what the hell did you blow almost half a fucking million of my fucking coins on!?" he growled at the Zangoose, who simply licked at her fur, indifferent to the tantrums of this mammal. Sighing, Jamie lifted the orb and gave it a similar tap on the bench, fully expecting the contents to contain a Magikarp, Sunkern or something equally unwanted...

"Ty..."

Giving a slight glance, Jamie proceeded to stick his nose in his glass and took a deep sniff of it before pulling a small glass tube out a pocket and blowing into it, rubbing his eyes. The alcohol detector came out negative. As he gazed at the Tyrogue once more, his jaw dropped quite a distance as the tan and blue Scuffle pokemon peered around the room full of people and pokemon, before simply plopping its shiny arse on the lip on the bar as its master whispered to Jackie to pinch him, the docile Zangoose taking the hint and slicing at his leg, eliciting a sudden yelp from Jamie as he instinctively leapt up before booting the troublemaker back, and looking again at the alternate-coloured fighter.

"...well jesus christ on a Heatran..."

As he claimed another drink, his eyes fell towards a letter at the bottom of the parcel, one which the Eevee had pulled out before snuggling into the base of for a nap.

"...I'll drink to that, dude..."

Unlike the others in the bar, David Michael simply had no reason to celebrate, save for being alive. Regardless, there were trainers around that he'd seen before, some he even knew strangely from other dimensions and such. As it was he didn't care, letting Dart loose, he grins at the Staraptor, who simply stood next to him as he sipped on a Coke. Things seemed to be relaxed, but his money was growing short. Hoping that his current adventures could enjoy the break, he decides to simply lay back and watch the show, eventually leaving Dart to guard his drink, and moves to the bar to place an order.

"Hey, um could I get a Burger and fries, another coke and some pokemon food and um some random drink for pokemon for my friend over there?"

pointing at Staraptor, he simply waits on the food and drink, not caring about the prices at the moment... but still amazed at the shiny Tyrogue sitting on the bar about 5 or 6 spaces down...

The bar's doors creaked open as Dan walked in, curious as to this place's prestige. He'd heard good things from other trainers, but... the place looked a little empty. He straightened his glasses, took a seat on the counter, and asked for a glass of half-and-half oran-and-leppa juice. He caught the beverage as the barman slid it down the counter and, after taking a long sip, looked around.

While there weren't many people around, the place did have a nice look; classy and effective ceiling fans, a good colour TV on the wall, a fair few dozen pretty paintings - the one of Nimbasa's ferris wheel caught his eye. He missed his home a little. The sports stadiums, the theme park, the musicals... his family. But homesickness was inevitable really, for a young trainer early in his journey. Well, at least he wasn't alone. He lifted his hat and Zapz crawled out from underneath it, down the back of his head and his arm, before scuttling down on the counter. Dan took a nut from a bowl and gave it to his little arachnid friend, stroking his little fluffy head with his hand. Maybe someone would come in. A good chat with another trainer would be welcome, after all.

"A bar huh... might as well check it out! I can't believe I got myself lost again though..."

A short and slightly chubby young man had entered the bar, noting that the place seemed a bit empty except for a lone man with a Joltik and went and took a seat on the counter. Connor had removed his orange beanie while thinking of what to order and placed it on Gaspard, his Aipom, who went from his shoulder to sitting on his lap. "Excuse me, what's your best selling drink here? I'd like one please," he said to the bartender.

It was then that Connor looked around the bar. It seemed to not have been visited for a while now for some reason, yet the place had a relaxing atmosphere to it, almost like as if he was at home. He then looked at the photos on the wall and examined them for a bit.

Dan looked over his shoulder as the door opened, and a stocky fellow with an Aipom and an orange hat walked in. Dan looked him over- definitely another trainer. He watched him give the Aipom his hat and walk towards the counter before taking a seat and speaking.

"Excuse me, what's your best selling drink here? I'd like one of those please."

The bartender turned to get this new customer his drink, and while he did the Trainer seemed to space out a little, looking at the pictures on the wall. Hmm... if he doesn't know the most popular drink, he's probably not a regular... eh, striking up some conversation couldn't hurt, I suppose.

"You like the paintings here too? Nice to meet you. I go by Dan." He stuck out a hand for the guy to shake.

Connor spaced out a bit while he was staring at the pictures. It was then that the person next to him had spoken to him.

"You like the paintings here too? Nice to meet you. I go by Dan." Connor continued to stare at the photos while Gaspard gave off his usual toothy smile to the fellow trainer "Aipom!". When Gaspard noticed that Connor was still staring the photos, unaware that someone was striking up a conversation to him, he poked him with his tail-hand.

"What is it Gaspar- oh!" He then noticed the boy next to him offering to shake his hand, "Oh sorry about that! I was noticing how beautiful some of those photos were. The name's Connor, Connor Connelly. Pleased to meet you! I'm aiming to be a professional photographer you see," Connor then shook Dan's hand.

I notice a bar placed conspicuously between a house and an old shack. I felt parched along my current adventure, and so I finally decided to drop by and purchase a few refreshments. As I walk through the door with a partially stiff-like gait, I notice a few more familiar faces And I ask patiently, "Excuse me, but May I join in?"

Cele opened the wooden dor to the FB Bar, with Neptune and Larry behind him. Looking for a break and some socialization, he notices three other young trainers. Two of them he recognized as Dan and Connor; he had battled the latter, though the third one was unknown to him. He walks up the counter and takes a seat. "May I have some Pecha Berry Smoothie and a burger please? Some Oran Berries for the Pokemon, please. Extra large order for the Aron." Cele said to the barman. Larry and Neptune had already begun exploring the Bar and socializing with other Pokemon, though Larry is sure to stay out of a certain Joltik's sight.

As the drink and burger is handed to Cele, he places 10 coins on the counter and slides them towards the barman. "That should cover it. Keep the change." Cele told him. Cele sipped rather loudly as he drank the smoothie. Turning to Connor and Dan, he started to speak. "What's up guys? How have you been doing?"

Enter Joshua. Finally, a place to drink... Or not. He muttered something inaudible under his breath. "Over 21s only" for the booze. He grumbled something else about where he's from, the rule is 18 up... "Well, Bishop, sometimes life just isn't fair." The Hoothoot on his shoulder shrugged. "I'm thirsty anyway. You up for a Pecha Smoothie?" This earned a hoot of a approval. "Barkeep! Two Pechas, pronto," said Joshua, tapping the bar with two fingers.

He sat on a stool, and surveyed the bar. Some other trainers were chatting and drinking at the other end of the counter, their Pokémon skidding around on the floor. Bishop turned to Joshua expectantly. "Go play if you like, your drink'll be here when you get back."

As he and Dan were talking, three other customers came into the bar, most likely to have a drink. Connor's eyes had widened when he recognized one of them, "Oh! Hey there Cele, how have you been? Me? Well the usual, still going around taking pictures of everything as usual, heh." he said with a smile on his face. Gaspard went towards Neptune whom he had fought before, though this time to socialize with the turtle. "Hmmm, my order's sure taking a while..."

Connor then turned to face the two unfamiliar newcomers. "Hey there, the name's Connor. What are your names?"

"Hey there, the name's Connor." Hmm? What was this? A friendly welcome. "What are your names?" He was asking both Joshua, and another sole newcomer to the bar.

"I dunno about that guy, but I'm Joshua. A travelling trainer, same as pretty much everyone these days. And the ball of feathers hopping around with the Pokémon is my oldest partner, Bishop. 'S a pleasure," he said, shaking Connor's hand. He took a sip of his smoothie. "God, I need a real drink." It had been a long, hot day. He'd thought about having an Aegis-powered shower, but really, that was just undignified.

Hyrem had heard about this bar that was starting to pick up business after a shiny Tyrogue appeared in the bar and made everyone speechless, the result being the bar going completely silent for two and a half years. He opened the door, walked in, and found five people and quite a few Pokemon either at the counter or exploring the place. The blue color in his mind was the Ralts on his shoulder assuring him that they would mostly be friendly to them. The Seedot in his arms just stared and looked over at the Pokemon on the floor. He took a seat at the counter and made his order. "Hey barkeep, I'd like two Cheri sodas, some Chesto juice for her *points to Ralts*, and some Pokemon food, please."

After that, Ralts disappeared from Hyrem's shoulder and reappeared on the counter which surprised Hyrem. "Wait, so you can Teleport now?"

"Ralts!" she said. Apparently she had unlocked another one of her psychic powers! Seedot didn't look too impressed, however, and she simply jumped off of Hyrem's lap to play with the Pokemon on the floor, including an Aron.

"Wow, that's great!" said Hyrem. So it was worth beating that Exeggutor after all... well, maybe not. Anyway, they had this moment to relax before moving on to their next adventure; they may not be back for a while, so they had to make the most of it. "Well, our drinks are gonna take a while, so go ahead and play with the other Pokemon!"

"Ralts ralts!" she said, as if she was saying "OK!" She then Teleported over to the other Pokemon on the counter to start playing with them. Hyrem wished he had Druddigon with him, but he was at Daycare. Besides, there was no telling what Druddigon would've done to the place! He then wished to talk to the other people next to him, so he started with the one talking about his Hoothoot. "Hey, so that's your Hoothoot?" he asked. "Looks pretty cool."

A beautiful, well-groomed Ninetales enters the bar, her crimson eyes glistening with charm and charisma. The Ninetales lets out a small cry to announce her presence, seeming quite pleased to have entered an area where attention could easily be paid to her. Following behind the striking Pokemon is a ghostly-looking young woman, looking lost in thought. Her face is buried in a book, titled "Baby Ghosts: Birth Through Death?" As Ninetales prances about the bar, she notices that her trainer seems to be stalled near the door, still reading. A slightly annoyed look crosses the Ninetales' face, and she positions herself between the trainer and the door, forcibly nudging her forward with her nose. Marion allows herself to be pushed, but does not look up from her book. Eventually, Ninetales pushes her right into the counter, which causes Marion to startle, dropping her book.

"Eep~! Aislyn, honestly..." She bends over to pick up her book, as Ninetales sits beside her, barking what appears to be some mix of irritation and encouragement. "I know you think I'm socially inept, but... but... Well, you're right." Marion tries to find her page in the book she was reading, but Aislyn takes the book into her mouth and yanks it from Marion's hands. "HEY! That's mine! Aislyyyyn..." Marion chases Aislyn as she leads her to a more crowded area of the bar, presumably trying to get Marion to interact with the people there. "Nine-nine-nine-nine-niiiiine," Aislyn taunts, though the sound is slightly muffled by the book in her mouth.

"I dunno about that guy, but I'm Joshua. A travelling trainer, same as pretty much everyone these days. And the ball of feathers hopping around with the Pokémon is my oldest partner, Bishop. 'S a pleasure," Joshua said as he shook Connor's hand. "Pleasure to meet you as well! Oh?" he noticed as yet another person had entered the bar, with a Ralts and Seedot with him. "Heh, this place sure is picking up real fast, wonder what's going on?" he said as his order had finally been served to him, a very large Pecha smoothie.

Connor noted that there are a lot of Pokemon now around him, with his Gaspard talking to Cele's Neptune. He decided to let everyone else out as well. "But first..." he asked the barkeep if he could use the aquarium near him to which he approved, "Oh great. Thanks!" It was then that he took out three Pokeballs and one Chocolate Ball. "Everyone, come on out!" and out came his Shuppet, shiny Roggenrola, Petilil, and his shiny Remoraid, the latter went in to the aquarium quickly. "Go have some fun with the others okay? Don't cause too much trouble though!"

It was then that he noted another person enter with her Ninetales. They seemed to be arguing about something though Connor wasn't sure what it was. He gave the newcomer a smile. "You two seem to be having fun. By the way,the name's Connor, what's yours?" he said.

"Aislyn! Aislyyyyyyyn!" Marion grabs a Pokeball from her belt, and appears to be about to recall the rebellious Ninetales; however, she recognizes the feeling of being approached, and turns to meet the oncoming trainer. She meets Connor's gaze; her eyes are unnaturally pale, and their aura is somewhat unsettling. Even so, despite the trainer's strange appearance, she seems to harbor no ill intention.

"Fun? Er..." She breaks the gaze, looking away, as if trying to think of how to explain herself. "Well, my Ninetales seems to think we could have some fun here, and that we should go out and meet people." She tries to smile, though her expression seems a little awkward. "My name's Marion. A pleasure to meet you, Connor..." Her eyes suddenly light up when she notices the Shuppet that Connor recently released from his Pokeball.

"Oh, is that your Shuppet? How wonderful! What's his name? I love Shuppets~! Minerva, my starter, was a Shuppet... She's a Banette now. She's enjoying a week in Daycare terrorizing everyone and everything, heh..." Marion now seems to have a visible grin. "Do you happen to like ghost Pokemon, by any chance?"

"Fun? Er... well, my Ninetales seems to think we could have some fun here, and that we should go out and meet people." the girl said to him. "Ah I see... so she basically forced you here huh? Sounds like what some of Pokemon does to me," he said as he gave a rather awkward laugh. "My name's Marion. A pleasure to meet you, Connor..." Her eyes suddenly light up as she saw something, "Same to you Marion... hmm? What's the matter?"

"Oh, is that your Shuppet? How wonderful! What's his name? I love Shuppets~! Minerva, my starter, was a Shuppet... She's a Banette now. She's enjoying a week in Daycare terrorizing everyone and everything, heh..." Marion now seems to have a visible grin. Connor noted that she seems to really love Ghost-types, judging by the book she was reading and her expression when she saw the Shuppet. "Do you happen to like ghost Pokemon, by any chance?" Marion asked Connor who replied, "Yeah I like ghost Pokemon, though I wouldn't call myself a Ghost-type specialist. I'm more of a varied type you see, anything-goes they say." It was then that Connor tried to get Foster's attention while sipping to his large Pecha smoothie.

"Hey Foster! Can you come over here for a second? Someone wants to see you," he said as Foster stopped playing with the other Pokemon for a second and went to Connor. "Marion, this is Foster. Foster, Marion," he said as he introduced his Shuppet to Marion.
