Oh, no, don't do that. Force us to learn. That's way more productive. And funny.
Me a moment ago:

"What on earth's a snog?"
searches
"Oh."

That aside. I find not trying to interact with every single other of the, like, 17 characters in that room to be entirely reasonable. XD
@Remram

Basil decided to mine some more. So did Anise and her team, as well as Earl, this time without Cleffa being helpful. It took some more time, and once again Anise’s crew was making more progress than Basil, but seemingly without finding much this time. Basil, however, could eventually glimpse something small. A couple chops later, and a shiny, sparkling turquoise stone, with what looked like a star in the center of it came loose from the ice…

Basil obtained a Dawn Stone!

To his right, he could see Earl having also found a small stone of some kind. Earl held it up to inspect it, and it seemed to be a Leaf Stone.

‘… I hadn’t considered it, but the latent power of Evolution Stones… Is there some way I can use that, other than evolving certain Pokémon? Do these unlock the power of Pokémon, or is the power in the stone?’ Earl contemplated out loud enough for Basil to hear.

Albeit, before he could answer that. On his left.

‘Wait, hold on, everyone! Stop! Stop! STOP!! Anise suddenly called out in a bit of a panic, as her very eager Pokémon all suddenly had to come to a stop and look up at what they’d almost freed from the ice. There were some gasps from Mienfoo and Froakie as they leaped back, and Riolu and Meditite dropped their tools to lift step into battle stances against it. There was a large shadow in the ice that they had almost freed…

He needed to be amazed by the Pokémon for a bit, first. Suddenly running and jumping onto someone else's Pokémon sounds like it would make a terrible first impression. XD

I do think he's a bit more considerate than that (to people right in front of him). Just a little bit.
There we go. Yepp, stole that format from Ryik because I liked it.

Also, I find Toshi talking about Hiddy as an Annihilape in the future hilarious because he's essentially telling her "Nice Mankey, he'll be really cool when he dies". XD
The name Victor was called to him. He had to take a moment. He turned in the direction of the shout with a slightly confused expression, then pointed at himself like “you mean me?”, and then eventually decided that yes, they did mean him, Victor Gallagher, and he did a small spurt of a slow jog to get over to them.

Well, there was a crew here. Frieda, yeah. Unfortunately, any interest Stiles may have had in the humans present was completely blown away by the sight of the pretty multi-colored Pokémon by the very tall blonde lady.

‘Wooow…’ Stiles' eyes widened in amazement as he looked at this incredible horse creature. ‘What kind of Pokémon is this?’

‘I mean, uh,’ he started, before coughing, and then turned to the humans. ‘Hello! I am Victor Gallagher! You will, uh, let us do a good job and become great trainers together!’ he proclaimed. ‘It’s nice to meet you all. Yeah.’ He nodded. That was flawless.

‘Buuud~’ Bud the Budew on his shoulder wiggled the bug on his head back and forth in his best attempt to wave “hi”.


@Double
‘Oh, hey. You look like a dude,’ Stiles said to Jack. The meaning of this was “you look like a solid guy I could be friends with” in his circles. ‘Where are you from? Anything cool happening around there?’ he asked, something about Jack making him not even bother with the accent and just being himself for the second.


@Azure Bubbles
kinda assuming she’ll respond to the Ponyta line before this

‘Huh,’ Stiles made a slightly surprised noise as he looked up at the blonde girl taller than him. Sweat drops and an awkward smile. ‘I, uh, look forward to working together!’

He was scared by her tallness, fancy clothes and general aura.


@Ryik
“Victor” looked back at Toshi as he was spoken to, and his Bud was praised. His expression turned happy and excited. ‘Oh, yeah! Bud’s got a bunch of cool tricks! Like for instance, after a long and intense training…’ He grinned happily. ‘He can ride a skateboard! How cool is that!?’ he proudly said.

‘Budeew~’ Bud looked proud of his accomplishment. Maybe not the tricks Toshi meant, but Stiles didn’t know that.

‘Anyway, what’s the league circuit?’


@Yankee
Stiles awkwardly scratched his cheek as he looked at Hazel for a second. She looked like she might fall apart if he talked to her. So he didn’t, for now. Maybe when she was less overwhelmed. Still, if their eyes met… awkward wave and a smile?

‘Buuud~’ Bud waved his bud as a “hi” wave at her.


@Psyker Landshark
‘Huh,’ Stiles made a similar huh as the one with Stella. However, this time it was because super-gentle-looking lady combined with a ferocious-looking Mankey, of all creatures. It was an interesting combo.

‘Uh, hello! Pleased to meet you! Victor Gallagher, at your service! Yeah, that’s a good line! Where are you from? What cool stuff happens there?’

He was once again intimidated by a tall lady and aura, albeit it was by gentle aura instead of fancy aura this time.


@Savo@Rune_Alchemist
Stiles was alright with waiting around when they arrived at the lab. Just gonna need to remember that he’s Victor. He had realized afterwards that he had kinda dropped it at slightest provocation with Jack and Toshi before. Bud the Budew kept chilling on his shoulder. So, then, there were more people here. Mostly girls. One of said girls(Stiles' pov), Remi, offered them coffee. Stiles’ expression immediately shone up.

‘Oh, yes! I, Victor Gallagher, will have coffee!’ Stiles, who has never had coffee in his life, said. He was pretty excited about getting to taste it.

He’s gonna have a moment when he absolutely detests the taste but out of needing to remain Victor Gallagher he’ll have to pretend he likes it. Because in his mind, Victor Gallagher absolutely drinks coffee.
Hey, Ryik. I kinda like your thing of talking to everyone. I'm gonna make like Stiles and steal it.


Pahaha, you actually found one with a red cape. I suppose that makes it the best possible option. Nice.

Alright. Post-wise. Quite a bit to react to here. Meeting the group, walking to the lab, and the introductions in the lab. Let's see what I can make of it.
@Remram

Relicanth, standing on his fins that apparently double as feet, looked up at Basil as he spoke. He didn’t show much of a reaction in his somewhat dazed state, but idly looked around as Basil gestured towards the surrounding area. Icy walls, people mining said icy walls, and so on…

Basil gave his somewhat clunky proposition, and, Relicanth took a moment to simply process his current existence. But, in the end…

@Remram

Basil swung the pickaxe, and the ice crashed! The rocky fish fell out of the ice, hitting the floor, and almost immediately started charging something, seemingly in a panic. That’s when Crocus unleashed a less-than-complete Sleep Powder, dowsing the easy target that wasn’t really trying to dodge anything in the green powder…

… and the Relicanth lost the charge of whatever it was going to do, and then relaxed, now simply an ancient fish lying out of its element in the icy cavern. Crocus had managed exactly what was asked of him with the Sleep Powder move.

What would Basil do now?
