This.
Little.
Ungrateful brat.
Lisette's face remained impassive through the rest of the exchange. The only sign of her agitation was her bringing her headphones up from around her neck to her ears. It was clear at least, this girl had no intention of playing friendly...it seemed she'd need to be taught a harsh, rather abrupt lesson one of these days. Still, Yvette would probably yell at her in her usual grumpy way if she caused a scene here and she didn't want to take any longer than she had too.
"Tut," She clicked her tongue in playful displeasure. She watched the kid leave, taking a deep breath before exhaling.
"Just remember kiddo...next time I see ya, I'm not going to play so nice." She picked up the twenty dollars, pocketing it for later. No, she wasn't going to be using it...she'd be saving the twenty for a very
special occasion.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, kid." She chuckled lightly to herself before heading back towards Yvette at a light jog.
"And where have you been?" Her sister asked as she approached. Whenever Lisette wore her headphones, that meant she was busy trying to ignore people, either because she was annoyed or she just didn't care too much.
"Oh, just...the usual.""That...concerns me." Yvette replied with a sigh, as the Crobat bolted over to Lisette, nearly tackling her at full speed. Lisette laughed, wrapping the large pokemon in a hug and patting its head.
"Someone's excited to see me. Yvette here ignoring you as usual?" She teased, earning an affirmative chirp from the bat pokemon.
"Traitor." Yvette grumbled.
"I...have been standing in line, waiting for you. Unlike you, I've been doing what I'm supposed to be doing.""And that's why you will get wrinkles early sister.""Ugh just shut up I'm getting a headache. We're here anyways." With her usual grumble, Yvette approached the table where the registration was taking place, Lisette next to her with Crobat excitedly fluttering near them. Unexpectedly, neither of them appeared nervous. Yvette simply looked done, and Lisette just stood impatiently, headphones over her ears and for the most part ignoring everyone.
“Welcome to Lo Town home of the Official Pokemon Sanctuary. We’re so glad you’ve chosen us as the place to begin your Pokemon journey. Can you confirm if you’ve pre registered?”"Here." Yvette grumbled out, handing Lisette's registration card to her.
"Can we hurry this up? I've got a migraine forming and I really either need some coffee or sleep soon." Lisette took the card quietly, giving Elder Robert a cool, disinterested seeming gaze as she handed it over. She was then of course, handed the usual pokedex which promptly had her ID in it from Priscilla.
“Welcome Lisette Richelieu. You’ve caught 0 pokemon, you’ve seen 0 pokemon.”"Can we hurry this up, a bit?" Lisette replied with an impatient tap of her foot.
"I have other places to be than sitting around waiting on old people.""Lisette!""Tsk. Well, I do. Look on the bright side. As soon as we are don you'll be free of me and you can go get some beauty sleep. Not that it'll help." Yvette breathed in, and then breathed out. Very. Forcefully.
"Just continue." She grumbled.
The process continued, with filling out a few forms. The pink haired girl growing more impatient by the second. She wasn't really much one to like waiting around like this, but she kept her attitude in line...mostly. Lisette grabbed the goodie bag unceremoniously, not particularly showing much respect or particular care for the so called Elders. By the end of it, she had her very own pokedex and of course, the goodie bag. Not that she was very interested in any of those all too much.
"Ugh, I apologize for my sister's attitude." Yvette said.
"Not even a thanks...I swear Lisette, you're getting worse.""Hmph. You forget I still don't really want to be doing this, so I don't really have anything to say 'thanks' for." She said with a huff.
"Not that it matters. I'm gonna go get lost or something." She pulled her headphones around her neck and started to walk off.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to get into trouble."With that, Lisette bolted down the street at a swift pace, quickly getting lost in the crowd. Yvette simply sighed, stuffing her hands in her pocket and walking off. First thing first, end that stupid subscription with poke monthly.
After Lisette was far enough away from her sister, she finally slowed to a walk near a building with a bench. She leaned against the wall near the bench, setting the bag on the seat to finally fully inspect the contents of her so called goodie bag. It was...a lot less impressive than it sounded. Which was sort of impressive for a 'goodie bag' since she sort of expected the contents to suck massively. Mostly it consisted of adverts and vouchers for places around Lo Town. Well, jeez. If you're gonna give new trainers something at least make it something useful.
Like the pokedex for example. Even if she wasn't going to be using it - like at all - it was still useful, if even a little. She opened the pokedex, and was immediately greeted by a marketing ploy. Blegh, like she didn't use enough Silph. Co. stuff already since y'know, her dad worked for them. She huffed quietly, pointing it at a pokemon...only to be met with a slew of other advertisements.
"...Tch, it's less of an encyclopedia and more adware." She had half a mind to junk the thing entirely. Who in their right minds thought it'd be a good idea to put advertisements in something like this? She didn't like big companies already, this wasn't going to go well, really. With a sigh, she pocketed it and continued her perusal of the goods. She wouldn't be using the pokedex at all if she could help it.
After that, was a Voucher for a pokegear. Well, the phone would be useful...though she wasn't keen on going back to Saffron. She wanted some distance from the city. As far as she could get, honestly. She couldn't face her gang again...not at least without some
chutzpah behind her pokemon. Perhaps she'd save it for another time, then. Wasn't like she didn't have music to listen to. Lastly...was a rather horribly colored pokeball. She glared at it, deciding quite quickly it was one of the most lame looking things she had ever seen.
"Well..." She grumbled.
"Today's just a huge mess of bull. They're just in all of this for the money." The promotional adverts, as well as the clause that Lo-Town had a right to use their image on anything even more so should they become famous was just...ridiculous. If she did become famous she'd higher a damn good lawyer or something...well, it was an amusing thought at least. Truthfully...the attention would be nice, if that ever happened.
Still...she really wanted to get on her way already. In fact...she had half a mind to just get into the sanctuary by herself ahead of time, capture her pokemon and then get out. No sense in waiting around with stuff like this. She wasn't keen on sticking around for other festivities anyways. In fact...with Mal's help it might actually be doable tonight while the whole party thing was going on, mightn't it?
Heh.
Now
that was a wonderful idea.
A little breaking and entering never hurt anyone, and she wouldn't really be breaking any laws...just speeding things up a little. She'd go scope out the sanctuary a little bit, then. No one would question a prospective applicant taking a look at the outside of the place, admiring it from a distance. Not unless they were just paranoid un-fun people.
