Patches jaw drops as she listens to Keith. “W-what!? You mean you have even more shiny Pokemon!?” Patches could hardly believe her ears. “I hope I get to meet at least one of them some day! I’ve only ever managed seeing one, let alone actually owning four! You must have some extraordinary luck. I’m glad to be able to call you a friend now because maybe some of that luck will rub off on me!” Patches chuckles.

Patches gets very excited when Keith shows her his Z-Ring and quickly slides up her sleeve on her left arm to reveal that she is also wearing one of her very own. “This is great! We both seem to have one of these! I haven’t had the chance to practice using it yet but mine is equipped with an Electrium Z. I’m sure my Pikachu Mio and I will get some good use out of it! Right now Mio is my only electric Pokemon but since you’re a poison trainer I can only imagine you’re going to get a ton of use out of yours!”

Patches was amused as she thought about Keith’s Umbreon Cyanide, ’Oh that sounds just like Kiku! I bet little Cyanide as an Eevee was the cutest thing!! I hope I get to meet her some day.'

“My Eevee Kiku sounds just like your Cyanide! It's clear that he is very attached to me but that boy has a very strong independent streak and is most definitely disagreeable on a lot of things. My other Eevee’s are Momo and Hana. Momo is a cuddle bug, he loves being held and snuggled. If I’m not giving him the attention he wants he will go and seek it out from complete strangers, he doesn’t care who it is as long as he gets cuddles. Hana is very shy, especially with other Pokemon. She is shy with people too but she seems to warm up much faster with people than Pokemon. She is very close to my crew at this point but she is a bit apprehensive about my two most recent additions still.” She realizes how different all of her Pokemon are despite the fact that they are the same species.

“My Espeon Rika is very friendly with all people and Pokemon. She can be a bit over protective of me if she feels that I may be in danger but if you mean no harm then she is just great.” Patches turns to Kawaii, “She has never met another Espeon like her! I think she would absolutely love to meet yours some day!”

Patches starts to feel nervous when it’s obvious that Kawaii has caught onto the fact that she isn’t acting like herself. ’Oh no… How do I explain to them that I find bendy straws boring now? There is no way they will understand. There is no way anyone would understand something like that. Maybe I should still keep it to myself.’ It takes her some time to respond due to her trying to figure out a way to say it, she is still completely oblivious to the fact that the flowers have just calmed her. “Um.. It’s not that anything is wrong per se… It’s just that at some point while talking to you guys I just began to feel a bit different than I’ve ever felt. But it’s not a bad thing! So everything is just fine!” She takes a deep breath and can still smell the scent of the flowers in the air ’Such a lovely scent...’

A tingling sound echoed through the establishment as a girl entered the Nightclub, her wavy, fiery red hair in a rarely seen-style: an off center ponytail, ends curling off haphazardly as the cascade came down slightly past her shoulder blades, though longer when let down as normal, if only a little. Today had been a busy day, to say the least, making arrangements for her future base, that Alolan Egg Hunt, dropping the team off at the Tree Grove for the time being, it was all a very chaotic storm of events, to be certain. But finally, everything was starting to wind down, and while the team was off at the Grove, Heather figured she'd relax a bit at the Nightclub. At the moment, it wasn't very populated, but she noticed Keith sitting with...two other Trainers she didn't recognize. Granted, she'd been absent from normal activities long enough during her official career here that she wouldn't know if these folk were older folk or at least relatively fresh off the block, though she assumed they looked young enough to be the latter. She also realized that she hadn't seen Keith at all in all that time. Well, she was sure he had seen her in the Bar a while back, but they hadn't had the chance to catch up before, well, things happened, but that was beside the point. Even if she hadn't gotten much done training wise, besides coming by two new teammates (she'd left Circe's Ball with the bouncer outside, best to have a Pokemon with her when she went to pick up the others from the Grove later!), the past while had been very busy, between getting her future Base planned out and managing other personal affairs. That aside, Heather came to the Wallflower Pub for a drink.

"I'll have a Lentimas Sunset, if you would." Heather ordered, the owner setting to work. Heather would never settle for a simple soda, after all. A little grenadine and Berry Juice went a long way for this one, no need for any alcohol either (which she appreciated, being only 18). She took a sip as the owner handed her the beverage, with a satisfied sigh, before going to join the party.

"Keith, been a while." Heather said with a grin as she seated herself with the group. "These two pals of yours?" she asked, resting her free arm on the back of the seat and throwing a glance their way.

Kawaii nodded "Yeah, Frieghya is super friendly. Oh! these flowers. They are from my Comfey, they have a calming effect on my nerves. I can put them away if you want."

Keith nodded and grinned as Patches stated that he'd likely get a lot of use out of his Poisonium Z. "Already got some experience using it," he stated. "I've been practicing with many of my Pokémon, including and especially my Weezing. And not just my Poison-types, either- as long as I use something with a Poison move, it can pull off Acid Downpour." He nodded as Patches described one of her own Eevee. "Kiku does sound a lot like Cyanide," he chuckled. "You thinking he might evolve into an Umbreon himself?" Just then, another familiar face entered and sat down nearby. "Hey, Heather," Keith grinned. "Yeah- this is Kawaii and this is Patches. Kawaii, Patches, this is Heather- she specializes in Electric-types."

"Oh no! Your flowers smell amazing and if they help you then I would never ask you to put them away!" Patches says to Kawaii. It was then that she finally started putting all of the pieces together. 'Wait a second... I started feeling strange right after those flowers were brought out didn't I?' She stares at the flowers with one eye twitching. 'I could never ask Kawaii to put them away because that's not fair to her. But I have to find out if the flowers are the reason I feel so plain right now.' She reaches into her bag and pulls out the allergy mask she occasionally wears in the spring and puts it on her face. She can no longer smell the flowers and the effect wears off instantly. 'I feel like myself again!' She feels the energy rushing back through her and her love of bendy straws is as strong as ever. She slams her hands down on the counter in front of her and yells "I'm cured!!"

She turns back to Keith as he responds to everything she said earlier. "Now that you mention it I could totally see Kiku evolving into an Umbreon! He definitely has the personality for one!" She gets ready to talk more about the Z-Crystals when suddenly a new person appears. 'Omg! Another friend to make!' Patches is glowing, she begins to tremble with excitement. She allows Keith to introduce her before she speaks up herself. "It's SO nice to meet-" that's when, once again, her eyes see an upsetting sight. 'Why is it that no one seems to know that this place has bendy straws? Good thing I'm here to help!!' She cuts herself off and runs up to the counter to call out to the bartender. "Excuuuuse me!!" She tries to wave him down. As soon as she gets his attention she doesn't even need to ask, before she knows it a bendy straw has been placed in front of her. 'Wow. It's like he read my mind or something.' Wasting no time she grabs the straw and turns back around to continue greeting her new friend. "I'm so happy to meet you Heather!! I noticed that your drink doesn't have a bendy straw which I'm sure was just a mistake! So please accept this one and also please be my friend!" She holds the bendy straw out to the new trainer with hopeful eyes.

Kawaii continued to watch the trainer's strange antics. She liked it better when they were sedated by the flowers, but she didn't mention this so she didn't seem rude.

I noticed that your drink doesn't have a bendy straw which I'm sure was just a mistake! So please accept this one and also please be my friend!" She holds the bendy straw out to the new trainer with hopeful eyes.
Heather simply blinks as her entrance to the scene spurs Patches into a flurry of motion that ended with...a bendy straw in her Sunset. Heather simply blinked again. And she thought she had had ADHD, this was on another level.

"Er, yes, it's a pleasure to meet you as well. And, well, don't worry, my life usually operates going from one mistake to the next. Right from the very start, in fact! Heck, I only even met Keith because I got lost one day. That was a time! Speaking of, Keith! I thought I should let you know, I'm finally getting my own Base underway! Not a big place, mind, just enough to get by, really, but it's gonna be cool! I'll let you know when it's finished, and you can pop on over!" she said, this encounter being well before the completion of Thunder Cloud Temple. "I figure my Pokemon have already let yours know as well over at the Grove, but I figured I'd mention it to you myself." she said. "Anyway," she continued, taking a sip from the bendy straw in her drink, "Kawaii, was it? Fun name!" she said, turning to the other Trainer, who hadn't spoken up yet. "All being said, I'm not much of a "specialist," really, not yet at least. Only have 3 Electrics to my name, hopefully a fourth in due time, but I think I'd like to go capture one for real to fill that last slot!" she said. "Maybe a Minun, if I could find a matching bunny suit, or perhaps a Joltik, they're so adorable!" she said, clearly swooning at the ideas, before snapping out of it and raising her glass. "To new friends?"

Keith watched with mild surprise as a simple allergy mask got Patches to revert to her original hyper behavior. It didn't bother him, in all honesty, but it was still surprising to see. Was it the flowers? The change in personality seemed to happen as soon as the flowers came out...

Keith nodded as Patches speculated that Kiku might evolve into an Umbreon going by personality. "Perfectly possible," he agreed. "In the end, all that matters is that Kiku ends up evolving in a way that works for him, right?" Keith then listened as Heather turned her attention to him, and revealed that her own Secret Base was under construction. "Oh, hey, cool," Keith grinned. "Yeah, Willow was telling me something to that effect. Definitely gonna have to come see when it's done," he nodded. Heather then went on about her lack of Electric-types thus far, and her hopes of obtaining more, such as potentially a Joltik or a Minun, before proposing a toast to new friends. Keith drank to that, taking a sip of his chocolate milkshake, before speaking up. "I actually have a Minun myself," He said. "She's very strong-willed, very independent. Don't ever suggest to her that she needs to be paired with a Plusle, though," he added, shaking his head. "She hates that kind of mindset. Nothing against Plusle as a species, don't get me wrong- she just doesn't like being thought of as just part of a complete set, y'kknow? Stunfisk is another option worth considering," he added. "I know they kinda got this reputation as mischievous pranksters, but that's just a stereotype, and trust me, not every Stunfisk fits that stereotype. In fact, my own Stunfisk, his entire reason for existence seems to be to defy that stereotype. He, along with one of my Banette, run a Pokémon Center in my Secret Base now."

A stranger, or a newbie?

Latte continued to walk around town, turning her head at every angle to make sure she hasn't missed anything. It hasn't been long since she was here last, but she was gone for a time nonetheless. She was bewildered by the immense change the place has gone through. She doesn't remember the town being so lively as it was now, especially since there's been a lot of areas to socialize.

Socializing wasn't something Latte was bad at, though she did find it hard to start. She's been away from this place for a time, and wasn't sure if she was going to pick up where she left off, or start fresh.

That was the thing about leaving home; you're a stranger in your new territory. At the same time, you become a stranger in your home town. Where was Latte supposed to place herself? There was a hint of nostalgia surrounding her as she recognized a few things, but also an uneasiness as there were new people and new establishments.

Like this nightclub. Was there a nightclub around here before? Either Latte didn't come around this area that much, or it sprung up some time in the past.

It's not just the places. It's the people. Latte's bound to get to know everyone (again), somehow.

She took a deep breath, pushed the door, and entered a dimly-lit yet lively world of the nightclub.

Latte sat down on the first empty table she saw, and ordered an iced tea. As she sipped her iced tea, she looked around and saw that everyone was preoccupied with their group of friends. Latte didn't mind being alone, and was used to it, but she did want to be friends with these people somehow. The nightclub exists for that purpose, right?

Maybe later. For now, she's two things at once: a stranger and a newbie. Latte's only company is the iced tea on her table.

Latte's entrance hadn't caught much in the way of attention, and so by herself she sat, while Keith Masters and the others he was talking to continued to converse.

That's not to say, however, that her presence remained forever unnoticed, for she was by no means the last person to set foot into the Nightclub that night. Indeed, a somewhat irritated-looking blond man stormed inside, pausing only to make an obscene hand gesture at one of the many signs on the walls reminding patrons that Pokémon were not permitted on the premises. A Shiny Charm hung around his neck, and there was a Poké Radar clipped to his belt.

However, he didn't seem to stay too terribly mad for too terribly long. His eyes first fell on an empty table, but he hesitated to occupy said table. Was it the lighting? The slightly wobbly chair he couldn't possibly know wobbled unless he actually sat on it, which he didn't? No... no, it was the emptiness of said table.

"Gah... fuck that," he muttered to himself. "If I wanted to sit by myself, I wouldn't have come to a place that doesn't fucking allow Pokémon." With that having been said, he approached the table at which Latte was seated. "Hey," the man greeted her. "Is it alright if I sit here?" he asked, indicating the table at which she sat. "Name's Gavin. Gavin Golurkson. I ain't seen you before, but considering I'm pretty new around here, that ain't saying all that much."

"Name's Gavin. Gavin Golurkson. I ain't seen you before, but considering I'm pretty new around here, that ain't saying all that much."
Still sipping on her iced tea, Latte watches the people in the club. Everyone is still conversing with everyone else, or on the dance floor. I wonder how I'm gonna strike up a conversation with these people? Latte thinks. She imagines she'd pretend to go to the bathroom and listen to some group's conversation, then she'd swoop in and say, Excuse me, I can't help but overhear. You did...?

Nah. Suddenly entering conversations isn't her thing. Plus, it was quite loud in the place. She sips her iced tea again.

Her view fell to the night club's entrance, where a man with blond hair flips off at a sign that says "No Pokemon allowed!" Her eyes widened. Wow, you do not mess with that one. The man looks irritated upon entering, but when he looks around the place his face seems to soften.

A moment later, the man approaches Latte's table. "Hey," he says, standing over Latte. "Is it alright if I sit here?" He points to Latte's table. Latte freezes in place, initially intimidated by being approached by a man who earlier just raised a middle finger to a sign. However, what catches her attention is the Shiny Charm around his neck.

"Name's Gavin," the man continues. "Gavin Golurkson. I ain't seen you before, but considering I'm pretty new around here, that ain't saying all that much." Latte nods, now slightly at ease. "Go ahead," she says, pointing her hand to the chair next to her. "Gavin, was it? Nice to meet you." She reaches out her hand. "I'm Latte. I kind of moved back here from a long stay in Sinnoh. How are you liking Fizzytopia so far?"

Gavin noticed that Latte seemed to freeze up a bit before answering him, almost as though she was intimidated or something. She probably saw him flip off that sign. Nevertheless, after Gavin introduced himself, Latte seemed a bit more at ease. She indicated the chair next to her. Gavin took the seat and shook Latte's hand. "It ain't bad," Gavin shrugged as Latte asked how he was liking Fizzytopia so far. "Lack of a Pokémon League actually kinda reminds me of home- no Pokémon League in the Orre region, either. But yeah, haven't actually had much chance to explore a lot of this region- apparently it's a big place. This nightclub, though," he frowned. "What the hell's their deal with not allowing Pokémon? I mean, violent, troublemaking Pokémon I can understand, but I only got two Pokémon- Miror's about the most easygoing Maractus you'll ever want to meet, and Dudley, my Shiny Slowbro, I don't think causing trouble would ever even occur to him, y'know?" He shook his head. "I let them both go play at the nearby Tree Grove," he continued. "Might as well let them enjoy themselves if I can't bring 'em in here, right? Hey, so, Latte, what kind of Pokémon do you have?" he added.

Gavin takes his seat while shaking Latte's hand. "It ain't bad," he replies. "Lack of a Pokémon League actually kinda reminds me of home - no Pokémon League in the Orre region, either." Latte nods at this remark.

"But yeah," Gavin continues. "Haven't actually had much chance to explore a lot of this region - apparently it's a big place." Latte chuckles at the remark in agreement and nods again, sipping on her iced tea. "This nightclub, though," he says, frowning. "What the hell's their deal with not allowing Pokémon? I mean, violent, troublemaking Pokémon I can understand, but I only got two Pokémon. Miror's about the most easygoing Maractus you'll ever want to meet, and Dudley, my Shiny Slowbro, I don't think causing trouble would ever even occur to him, y'know?" Woah, Latte thinks. A shiny Slowbro. So lucky. "I let them both go play at the nearby Tree Grove," he continues. "Might as well let them enjoy themselves if I can't bring 'em in here, right?"

"Well," Latte says. "From what I heard - don't quote me on this - some Pokemon ate the nightclub owner's establishments before. Must be why there are no Pokemon allowed anymore. We do get to be with them a lot though, so I think we trainers need a break too."

Gavin then asks Latte, "What kind of Pokémon do you have?"

"My Pokemon are quite young," Latte begins. "I have four. My Piplup, Chachi's been with me for a long time now, and when I decided to go on adventures and become a Trainer I wanted him to join me. He does have a spirit of adventure in himself too.

"Oh, you should try the iced tea here," Latte suggests before sipping her iced tea. "Anyway, I adopted my other three Pokemon from the Adoption Center. A Meditite, a Spheal, and a Skitty. They're all playful except my Meditite, Mina. A real hardworker. She trains a lot and is dead serious about it! Sana is a Spheal, and she likes meeting new people and Pokemon, actual Miss Congeniality. Dahyun is, well, a regular Skitty; wouldn't sit still, and surprisingly ready to go on a mission."

Latte takes another sip from her iced tea. "You seem to enjoy being with your Pokemon. How did you get to meet them?"

Gavin gave a low whistle as Latte shared the story about a Pokémon having eaten previous iterations of the Nightclub. "That'd do it, alright," he remarked. "Must've been a Swalot or an Aron or something- I dunno what else would eat entire buildings. I dunno what else could eat entire buildings!" he chuckled. He then nodded. "Yeah, I guess a break ain't a bad thing every now and then," he conceded. "But hey- you get separated from your starter because of an Arceusdamn shipwreck and see how quickly you wanna be separated from your Pokémon again, y'know?" he added.

He listened as Latte explained about her Pokémon- her spirited and adventurous Piplup, her serious and hardworking Meditite, her friendly and outgoing Spheal, and her rather stereotypical Skitty. "Sounds like an interesting bunch," he remarked, grinning as Latte observed that Gavin seemed to enjoy being with his Pokémon. "Damn straight," he agreed. "Well, I first came across Miror at what's known as a Poké Spot. I dunno how much you know about Orre, but one of the most basic things to know about the region is that wild Pokémon are almost unheard of around there. Only three spots in the whole damn region where people find wild Pokémon, and even then, they gotta be lured there. Those spots are called Poké Spots. The Oasis Poké Spot is this little oasis in the middle of the desert. The Cave Poké Spot is this cool and shady area deep in a cave. And the Rock Poké Spot is surrounded by tall rocks that offer shelter from the sun in the middle of the desert. That last one, that's where I met Miror. I had baited the Poké Spot with the best damn bait it's possible to buy- Duking brand Poké Snacks. I was hoping to start off my journey with a Shiny Pokémon- I'm a Shiny hunter, after all- but years of searching gave me nothing. So one day, the Spot Monitor goes off, right? I head out to the Rock Poké Spot, and see just a normal Maractus munching on my Poké Snacks. I guess that was the straw that broke the Numel's back, because I started ranting and raving, and cursing out everything in sight. Not one of my better moments, I'll admit right now," he admitted. "But yeah, you'd think that'd scare off the Maractus, right? Well, this one, not so much. I feel a tap on my shoulder- the guy came up behind me, and as I look, he's offering me one of the Poké Snacks I'd left. So I wound up eating Poké Snacks along with this Maractus, and we ended up finishing off all of the ones I'd left there. By that point, I was feeling a lot better about the whole thing, and me and the Maractus just kinda looked at each other, and we just kinda both decided we wanted to travel together," he grinned. "And as for Dudley, first found him wandering on a beach," he added. "Never seen a Shiny Slowbro before, so I used this to make sure I was really dealing with a Shiny," he added, unclipping the Poké Radar from his belt and holding it up. "So yeah, I had Miror battle it and weaken it, but when I threw a Poké Ball, it didn't even try to catch it- turns out the Slowbro already had a Trainer. That Trainer, in fact," he added, pointing to the man in the cowboy hat sitting with the other group of people. "That's Keith Masters. Nice guy. Showed me to a Pokémon Center run by his own Banette, let me heal up Miror. And then to top it all off, Dudley decides to go with me after all. Keith was a little shocked, but he let it happen, he knew he had to do what's best for his Pokémon. And Dudley's been a part of the team ever since. I'm hoping he's just the first of many Shiny Pokémon I'll have," he grinned. "Ever since I was a little kid, my dream's been to catch and train as many Shinies as I could find."

Latte listens intently as Gavin narrates how he met his Pokemon, nodding occasionally. Unlike her, he had met his Pokemon by chance, so Latte can tell that he's been going on adventures for quite a while. While telling his story, Gavin points to a man wearing a cowboy hat, whom he says was the original owner of his Shiny Slowbro, Dudley. Gavin's encounter with Dudley interested Latte, as it might not have been easy for Keith to give up the Slowbro. Nevertheless, Latte notices Gavin beaming as he talked about his Pokemon. "That's wonderful," Latte says when Gavin finished his story. "Good luck with those Shinies!"

Latte then asks, "Did you always want to be a Pokemon trainer?"

"Heh, thanks," smiled Gavin. "Really could've used some luck earlier today, though," he added, unclipping the Poké Radar off his belt and sliding it open. "I was using this earlier, trying to find a Shiny Yungoos. Dunno if you know how the Poké Radar works, but basically, it emits these pulses of energy that draw in wild Pokémon, and if you keep battling and defeating ones of the same species, it's more likely to bring in more of that kind of Pokémon, and it's designed so as it keeps luring in more of that Pokémon, it becomes more likely that it'll draw in a Shiny Pokémon," he explained. "But if it ends up luring in something different, the whole streak's broken and you gotta start over again. Which is exactly what happened this time," he grumbled. "Stupid Purrloin... Knew I should've checked one of the other patches of grass..." He shook his head, though, stopping himself from getting too deep into regret about this, instead focusing on Latte's next question. "Oh, hell, yeah," he nodded. "I grew up in Pyrite Town, and from my house, you could see this part of the street known as Duel Square- Trainers in town gather there and challenge anyone who wanders by. Saw a lot of battles growing up, and I always loved watching them," he grinned. "And now that I got Miror and Dudley, I've been doing my fair share of battling myself. Mainly double battles- growing up in Orre, that's kinda the first style of battle you ever learn about."
