[color=d77457]‘Heeeey, don’t I know her?’[/color] Stiles peered over at the woman with the other woman that all the nondescript people were flocking towards. The question was directed at the Budew standing on his shoulder, who looked over at him curiously. 

[color=89c666]‘Buuud-dew?’[/color] Bud the Budew asked, tilting his head.

[color=d77457]‘Oh, yeah. That’s right. I do know who she is. She’s the Gym Leader of Honnington! We challenged her!’[/color] Stiles suddenly realized, his eyes widening in realization. He smiled as he turned to look at Bud. [color=d77457]‘We gave her a run for her money, right?’[/color]

[color=89c666]‘Buuuuud…’[/color] Bud shook his head with a resignful smile. What had actually happened was that Stiles had rushed in with a Level 2 Budew and challenged the Gym and promptly gotten his unprepared ass whooped.

[color=d77457]‘Wait. No, that’s not it,’[/color] Stiles suddenly looked forward, his expression getting mildly more serious, and Budew looked on curiously, wondering if Stiles had remembered what actually happened or not. 

[color=d77457]‘That didn’t happen. That didn’t happen, because I am not Stiles,’[/color] he stated… and then dramatically lifted a hand to his chest, and then spoke again. [color=d77457]‘That didn’t happen, for I,[/color] [color=e7bd51]am Victor Gallagher, and I have not seen this woman in my life!’[/color] he stated, faking a posh accent to the best of his nonexistent ability. Combine that with that he was still wearing his usual street-wear, plus a fancy red cape that didn’t match the rest of his clothes at all.

[color=89c666]‘Budeeew~’[/color] Yeah, no, Bud’s just smiling through the resignation now.

[color=e7bd51]‘Come, my companion! We have a professor to greet and,[/color] [color=d77457]uh,[/color][color=e7bd51] academic![/color] [color=d77457]... stuff, to, uh, discuss…[/color] [color=e7bd51]at once!’[/color]

So he claimed, and started wandering… he stopped by the person holding the sign. He stared at it. [color=d77457]‘… What was the professor’s name, again?’[/color]

(he’d eventually find his way there)
