Teddy honestly didn't expect anything much from this SS Lugia trip itself. Other than it being overly extravagant. Which proved to be incredibly so with its Opening Ceremony of holographic wonders. And his entry in the first round of the Pokemon Contest went incredibly well. Linus' dramatic, explosive entry and graceful movements drew in the crowd. Among the exceptional talents he was up against, Teddy called it a success. His hectic shift the next day at the Lucky Catch restaurant kept him from getting into any awkward situations or talking to reporters. Everything was going as well as normal until the evening.

The pool froze over, there was an explosion, Shuppets suddenly appeared, and the holograph machine started acting up... Then everyone was told to gather to evacuate to the main stadium where there were loud music, blinding lights, and several masked figures... This felt like an episode of the Lucario Man series Teddy starred in as a kid. All it needed was a villainous expositional monologue to complete the scene. It kind of happened until they just up and vanished into thin air and the room went to toastier afternoon? The entire situation was quite befuddling. A nudge from behind his legs shook Teddy out of his stupor. A Stoutland was trembling and looking very nervous as he huddled close to him. He only had his two strongest pokémon out of their balls right now.

[color=00a651]"It'll be okay, Fluffy, you got Lillipup Lad and his trusty companion Shepard on your side."[/color] He stroked the pokémon head as he called out their old stage name. The Pokemon calmed a bit as he looked up at him quite admirably. His tail was wagging... how adorable~ Teddy was again caught up in giving his scared Pokémon pets. Before the bark of other Pokemon drew him in. Another Stoutland, Linus barked several times before pointing his paw in a direction. Scanning the rather chaotic area, he spotted his fellow coworkers Sugar and Garscon looking quite distraught, at least from a distance.

Teddy hastily made his way over though was beaten there by a lady. He had definitely seen her visiting the restaurant. He paused not too far away, but just watched awkwardly. It came with the realization that she maybe wouldn't remember him... He was good with names and faces but he hadn't even worked a full day there with him competing and all this mayhem. On top of that, he was just one waiter out of several that worked there... Seeing Teddy's hesitation, Linus barked assertively at him and again pointed. The man looked at him took a deep breath and moved into talking range.

[color=00a651]"Yo... wazzup..."[/color] Teddy had no idea why he greeted them like he was talking to young teenagers, but it was now too late to take it back. He nervously rubbed the back of his hand as his eyes looked off to the side. [color=00a651]"Are you two doing alright? You look awful... Ah, not in that way! Just physically! I mean mentally! Both are actually looking pretty bad. But I mean, no one looks good in situations like this anyways."[/color] Teddy chuckled uncomfortably and decided it was better to just keep his mouth shut and plan out his next words more carefully.
