The jovial grin on his face was soon replaced with a scrunched up confused expression. For all the years that he owned his shop, he never once heard an accent like that and believe him, he had heard a lot of strange ones over the years. He busted out laughing though there was nothing mean spirited about it. It was a friendly, almost joyous laugh where his belly wobbled with each hearty chortle.

[color=#546b5a]"And here I thought I've heard every accent, but you got me! It's thicker than Helga's coffee. Believe me, that stuff is a war crime, but uh, I think I know what you want,"[/color] He lifted a finger to her to tell Steph to give him a moment as he looked around in the back to collect what he assumed to be her order. It looked like a relatively standard fishing rod. The fishing rod was certainly flexible, but had the tensile strength to fish up most Pokemon and on the side was a jar with the label 'Bait' with a cartoon image of a fisherman giving a thumbs up. Yeah, the GM felt really creative when he made that up.

[color=#546b5a] "Alright, just need to explain a concept to you since you seem new to it. Bait helps us catch Pokemon consistently, but the higher quality bait can have a chance to drawn in certain Pokemon. Be careful with it though. There are stories of fisherman being pulled into the water by catches they could not handle." [/color]

Meanwhile with the Freya and Amelia duo:

[color=ed145b]"Oh yeah sure we can totally do that."[/color] said Freya as she rifled through some fishing rods until she abruptly almost turned her head in a complete 180 degrees to show an incredulous expression on her face. One could almost hear the comically loud crack of her neck as she turned around to look at Amelia. [color=ed145b]"Wait what?"[/color]

Yeah, she was processing the fact that Amelia just dropped a bomb that she was a medium. To be fair to Amelia, it's not like mediums and shamans were an unknown concept to the world of Pokemon, but it was another to meet one. [color=ed145b]"Amelia, sweetie, when I asked if you were drawn to ghost-types I just thought you meant you just had a knack for them. I didn't think you could actually sense the dead."[/color]

She cleared her throat with the attempt to look like she remained composed. [color=ed145b]"Um, anyway how about we get ourselves some fishing rods and some bait? Maybe you'll be able to fish up some potential friends."[/color]

Whatever happened, Bo would ask the trio, [color=#546b5a] "By the way you kids are new trainers, right? A couple of trainers like you popped by yesterday. First a cowboy and then some blue haired kid in hiking gear bought some rods though he was a bit more curious about the latest happenings. Well, that and he met Bary the old loon." [/color]

[color=ed145b]"Huh, the first one sounds like Connor though I have no idea who the other is."[/color]

Now what?

Now for balance reasons, any time that Detect is used after one use per post it will still have a chance to fail. Anyway! Lucha deftly dodged the spiral of flame and closed in on the figure of flame and smashed it with a critical hit Aerial Ace! The figure stumbled back; its flames flickered dimly as it tried desperately to maintain its shape. It held its hand up to try to try and summon any attack, but only meager embers sputtered out. Jason could finally see the flute piece in the chest of the creature that was unable to fight back and only try to maintain its shape.

How do you want to do this?

The more Tristan spoke the more confused the two men looked. Nothing that this kid was saying made any actual sense. What was he talking about? Why was he talking about the Elusive Woods and what did Maria Eberg had to do with it? And why was he pointing to the Gracidea Flowers? By the time he finished speaking, the poor boy looked absolutely diminished and silent. The two men looked at each other who looked as uncertain as the young man as to what they should do in this situation.

The older, shorter man walked over to the young trainer and patted him on the shoulder. [color=007236]"Hey sprout, why don't you take a deep breath and properly explain what you are talking about. Maybe we should start with some proper introductions,"[/color] he said with a warm smile. There was no judgement, only someone who sought to understand. 

[color=007236]"I'll start us off. My name was Ramos. I was once the grass-type gym leader in Kalos before my retirement. These days I spend the rest of my golden years as the head gardener of this lovely park."[/color] He motioned his hand over to the other man and said, [color=007236]"This is Louis Osman. He belongs to one of the old families of Evig and is the current estate manager."[/color]

He rolled his eyes at Ramos and crossed his arms. "You flatter me Ramos, but the Osman name is practically non-existent these days. Gods I cannot wait for them to renovate that disgrace of a house." Clearly he did not like to be reminded of his family's fall from grace.

What does Tristan do?

While that was a good idea to have Niblet out just in case a predatory bird came to snatch the birds, the problem was that the birds were predatory. As in they were carnivores with no interest in attacking the bouquet of flowers that Stella held. Also, hyacinths were actually quite poisonous and were not fit for consumption unless they were being fed to a Pokemon that could process poison without becoming ill. Really, what she should have been doing was watching where she stepped. 

Stella felt her foot step on something solid, but definitely had a bit more give than just the dirt she was walking on. 

[color=004b80]"ODD!"[/color] A little blue orb with feet and three leaves of grass on its head popped up from the ground and looked up her with its beady red eyes in anger.

What does Stella do?
