~Cerise Fontaine and Abigail Blanchett~

[color=8493ca]"Even though she is thinking more or less with her stomach, she does raise valid points with dusk being upon us. I prefer for us not having to deal with an incessant group of pokemon."[/color]

Well, for once her and Yuu agreed on something. For entirely different reasons, though. For some reason, that only annoyed her. Hhh, well, whatever.

[color=7ea7d8]"I can easily feed our pokemon as I brought food our pokemon can eat, I do have a couple of sandwiches which we can share, but I don't think four sets will sustain us for the night..."[/color]

At the mention of food, Abigail immediately perked up, earning a small sigh from Cerise. Really, Abigail ate an ungodly amount of food most of the time. She had to wonder how she was able to eat so much and still maintain that beautiful figure of hers. Not that she was jealous or anything; she could never be jealous of Abigail. Only admire the person of her affections.

Abigail herself, had bought her own food, and had intended to eat all of it...herself. She supposed she could share, though, if she absolutely had too. She wouldn't be happy about it, though. Well, regardless, it seemed like everyone was going to be doing their own thing. Yuu had gone off somewhere to gather food, and another one of the had made a small bed of leaves. Was he really intending to sleep outside?...eh, whatever. Not her problem.

[color=662d91]"Hey Cerise, I'm going to put up our tent, alright?"[/color] Abigail told the red head.

[color=ec008c]"Hmm? Oh, alright. Ah...if you do not mind, Abby dear - I'm going to call your mother. She was rather...angry at my sudden decision to leave. I feel as though I should at least try to smooth things over with her for a bit..."[/color] Tyrian jumped down from Abigail's arms, landing on the ground...face first, causing him to sneeze slightly as he rubbed his nose with a paw. Natu, then decided his back would make a perfect perch, earning a small annoyed huff from the Nidoran, who decided to shake him off.

The two then decided that roughhousing was the best way to spend the time while their trainers did their respective tasks.

~Cerise Fontaine~

As Abigail set up their tent, she walked away from the rest of the group. She made a small, white, lie to Abigail. No need to tell her what she was actually going to be doing. Aside from the fact she would disprove, it might make things a bit awkward with the rest of them, later. With a small smile, she made her way to the edge of the campsite before taking out her Holo-caster. A small smile donned on her lips, as she began dialing one of the numbers she had in it. She put the phone up to her ear - no need in using the holographic setting on it. That would simply be a stupid move on her part.

After a few moments of ringing, someone finally picked up. Who was she calling? A friend she had met through her father. A rather nice detective that worked for the International Police. He was just a desk jockey though, often handling paper work an other things. Him and her father had been friends for quite some time. Unfortunately...he was also a bit of a shady and greedy bastard.

And that is exactly why Cerise loved him.

[color=ec008c]"Jamie, mon ami! Comment êtes-vous?"[/color] She cheerily said as the other side picked up.

[i]"Cerise ! Comment est mon favori peu fauteur de troubles? Que toutes les personnes johto enroulée autour de votre doigt?"[/i] A jovial, rather friendly voice answered on the other end. She giggled coyly a bit at her 'friends' teasing.

[color=ec008c]"Oh, arrêter Jamie. Je n'ai pas été ici pendant plus de quelques jours. Il faut plus longtemps pour devenir un symbole national."[/color] She replied, giving her friend a cheery, positive and upbeat tone.

[b]"Vous avez pris Kalos par tempête dans moins d'une semaine! Vraiment, il ne devrait pas être trop difficile pour vous."[/b] He laughed, rather loudly.

[color=ec008c]"Vraiment, vous. Vous avez beaucoup de genre trop de moi."[/color] She humbly replied. [color=ec008c]"Comment est mon père et ma mère, faisant?"[/color] She asked.

[b]"Oh, vous savez. Ils sont bien - Votre mère est faire le meilleur de vous être éloigné, d'après ce que j'ai entendu de votre père. Madame Blanchett, quoique... elle va avoir ce magnifique cheveux rouge de la vôtre comme un trophée la prochaine fois qu'elle vous voit."[/b] The voice replied with a chuckle.

[color=ec008c]"Je suppose que je vais compter sur vous pour me protéger et protéger mes beaux cheveux rouge." She giggled. "Ah, Jamie, l'esprit me faisaient une faveur?"[/color] She suddenly asked.

[b]"Oh? Bien sûr, quoi avez-vous besoin, Cerise?"[/b] The person, apparently named 'Jamie' Asked.

[color=ec008c]"Je sais que vous n'arrière-contrôles de masse sur les gens pour votre travail avec la Police internationale...je me demandais si vous pourriez exécuter une, pour moi?"[/color] She asked, a bit quietly. She knew he'd likely question her motives if she asked that. After all, he couldn't run it without a proper excuse. "[color=ec008c]Je n'ai de l'argent, si vous avez besoin d'une telle chose pour votre...services et...discrétion."[/color]

The phone was silent for a moment, the sound of someone walking. Likely he was going to some place where he wouldn't be so easily over heard.

[b]"De quoi avez-vous besoin?"[/b] He asked, seriously.

[color=ec008c]"Je veux tout savoir au sujet d'une certaine personne du nom de Yuu Nozumu. La famille. Amis. Où qu'ils vivent. Ce genre de chose."[/color] She replied, quietly. [color=ec008c]"Pouvez-vous le faire?"[/color]

[b]"....Combien ?"[/b] He asked.

[color=ec008c]"Hmm...comment vingt mille pour l'information de son?"[/color]

[b]"Donnez-moi un peu. Je vous l'ai pour vous bientôt."[/b]

[color=ec008c]"Merci, merci! Vous êtes un vrai Samaritain, Jamie! Dès que je reçois de l'info, vous trouverez un petit quelque chose en plus à l'endroit habituel. Au revoir, de l'ami."[/color] She happily replied, a small smile on her face. 

[b]"En effet, un plaisir culminé avec vous cerise. Je vais le dire à votre mère et votre père vous dit bonjour et que vous avez bien fait ! Vous devriez essayez d'appeler vous-même, cependant. Les gens pourraient commencer à se poser des questions sur la raison pour laquelle vous appelez-moi et pas eux. Jusqu'à ce que nous nous réunissons à nouveau, puis, madame."[/b] With that, the other speaker hung up. Cerise simply gave a small giggle, putting away the phone back in her case, before walking back over to Abigail.

"Hmm...maybe I'll get Abigail to teach me a bit about pokemon..."[/color]

~Abigail Blanchett~

Well, it didn't take her as long as she thought to set up the tent. A few minutes after Cerise had left to talk with whoever, it was already up. Chances were, her and Cerise were going to be sharing it. Honestly, it was just a one person tent. She had bought it a few weeks before the start of this whole thing, and she didn't really want to buy another one. Plus, she expected Cerise to bring her own, though she had no idea why. Cerise probably planned to sleep in her tent from the start.

Seriously, that girl...

With a sigh and a stretch, she looked around. Most of the other people were still around doing their various things. Yuu was off somewhere, doing who knows what. She looked at Natu and Tyrian, both of who had been roughhousing this entire time - it seemed like Natu had the upper hand, err...wing, though. He was currently perched on Tyrians horn while Tyrian tried to unsuccessfully dislodge the bird from it. Abigail knelt down with an amused giggle.

[color=662d91]"Now, now, you two. Behave, alright?"[/color] She said, picking Natu up gently off of Tyrian, who shot that little bird an uncharacteristic glare. Looks like the two of them had a bit of a rivalry going. That amused Abigail greatly. [color=662d91]"Hehe, you two should try getting along. And you,"[/color] She said, giving Natu a friendly little pat. [color=662d91]"Need to be nicer to Cerise."[/color] The Natu simply rolled its eyes at the notion.

[color=ec008c]"Ah...Abigail, you are done with the tent?"[/color] Cerise said, walking up, apparently finished with her call.

[color=662d91]"Yeah, just finished."[/color] She said. [color=662d91]"You done talking with my mom?"[/color]

[color=ec008c]"Ah...yes, she was as overbearing as usual."[/color] Cerise replied with a giggle. [color=ec008c]"I can see where you get yours from."[/color] This earned a small huff from Abigail.

[color=662d91]"W-whatever..."[/color] She replied, folding her arms on her chest.

[color=ec008c]"Oh come on, Abby dear, learn to take a joke."[/color] She gave her a soft smile.[color=ec008c] "I was actually wondering if you could help me with something."[/color] She said, fidgeting slightly. "[color=ec008c]Y-you know I'm...well, I have no knowledge of pokemon. I was hoping you'd be able to teach me a bit."[/color] Abigail simply sighed, giving Cerise a small, somewhat annoyed look. She wasn't a teacher! How could she possibly teach anyone? How would she even-wait. Practical experience, duh.

[color=662d91]"Suppose I can give you some instruction."[/color] She said with a small shrug. [color=662d91]"Grab Natu, and we'll have a little battle over there."[/color] She didn't give Cerise much time to protest, as she scooped up Tyrian and walked a few feet away from the tent.

[color=ec008c]"B-battle?"[/color] She asked, the Natu lighting on her shoulder, obviously a bit excited at the thought of a battle. [color=ec008c]"I-I mean if you are certain, but I doubt I will do anything against you."[/color] She nervously said.

[color=662d91]"The best way to learn something is practical experience. This is going to be the first battle either of us has, you know."[/color] She said, sitting Tyrian down on the ground. Oh...right, practical experience, that was probably a good idea. Abigail was full of them, after all, so she had no reason to question her. She did know what she was doing, after all.

[color=ec008c]"V-very well, then."[/color] She replied, Natu taking his position in front of her on the ground. [color=ec008c]"Let us begin, then."[/color]

"Jamie, my friend! How are you?"

"Cerise! How is my favorite little troublemaker? Have all of johto wrapped around your finger?"

"Oh, stop it Jamie. I have not been here for more than a few days. It takes longer to become a national Icon."

"You took Kalos by storm in less than a week! Really, it should not be too difficult for you."

"Really, you. You are much too kind to me. How is my father and my mother, doing by the way?

"Oh, you know. They are well - your mother is making the best of you be away, from what I have heard from your father. Madam Blanchett, though...she is going to have this beautiful red hair of yours as a trophy the next time she sees you."

"I guess I will count on you to protect myself and my beautiful red hair." She giggled "Ah, Jamie, mind doing me a favor?"

"Oh? Of course, what do you need, Cerise?"

"I know that you do background checks on people to your work with the international Police...I was wondering if you could do one, for me? I do have the money, if you have need of such a thing for your...services and...discretion."

"What do you need?"

"I want to know everything about a certain person by the name of Yuu Nozumu. The family. Friends. Or they live. This kind of thing. Can you do it?"

"....how much?"

"Hmm ... how twenty thousand for the information?"

"Give me a little. I will have it to you soon."

"Thank you, thank you! You are a true Samaritan, Jamie! After I receive the information, you'll find a little something in addition to the usual place. Good bye, friend."

"Indeed, a pleasure to hear from you, Cerise. I will tell your mother and your father you said hello and that you're doing well! You should try to call yourself, however. People might start to ask questions about the reason for which you call me and not them. Until we meet again, then, Madam."
