Shit… forgot about the other four senses XD.

Well he can still run away!

@Renose

At least we know who she's going to try to be super effective against... bigger question is who is immune or not effected as much by it :^)

Yuu

Bjyerlfal City || Camphor's Lab => Camphor's Lab, Habitat A || Morning

---

Yuu placed a hand on his hip as he glared at the boy with a piercing stare, watching the boy crumble under pressure. This elicited a sigh from the lavender-haired boy who shook his head before tilting his head to get a look at the half-wit flaker, "Good, you better be." With a huff, Yuu went back to ignoring the cowardly faker as he glanced over to both the level-headed girl and the blind boy as he leaned back on the couch. As the former introduced herself to the small gathering, Yuu nonchalantly nodded at Lina's introduction, keeping her name in mind as he uttered, "Good to meet you too Lina." As he did this, he shifted his gaze over to the kid who was fervently apologizing for making Yuu do something, which caused him to scoff and lightly shake his head. "Look, I did it cuz' I chose to do it. I don't need an apology," Yuu's voice sounded a little harsh, but it also didn't sound too overly dismissive either. As for Vivi, the Rotom phone popped up and instead gave a more encouraging sounding buzz to the boy, raising up one of its sides before tipping over, as if giving a thumbs up. Of course this was compounded by a nervous introduction from the boy, followed by a comment about his sight. Yuu bit his tongue to avoid saying "yeah, I saw," instead doing what he normally did and nodded his head. "And you as well Ryuuichi," the lavender hair boy responded in a matter of fact way before bobbing his head back to stare at the ceiling and closed his eyes. "Guess I should introduce myself now," Yuu murmured as he rolled his head back to an upright position and looked over most of the group "I'm Yuu, as in Y-U-U. Or a yew tree if that's easier to go with. Good to meet you all I guess." Yuu shrugged as he finished his own introduction, not even bothering to give any of them the smallest of smirks. This was when Vivi whirred and crackled as they floated in front of Yuu, making their own grand introduction as the Rotom phone gave the group a huge grin... only to be poked by the lavender haired boy, "And this is Vivi. Sightseer, record-keeper, and overall general nuisance." The Rotom phone began to gussy up a bit as Yuu stated all this, even making a pose that looked like they were putting two arms on their side... ... until realizing what Yuu said. There was a harsh static buzz that emanated from Vivi as they turned around and bumped straight into his forehead a couple of times. As they did this, the doors to the back were suddenly thrust open and the lady he saw on the video finally made her appearance. Yuu closed his eyes as his head was pointed in their direction, "She's shorter than I thought..." Yuu could only imagine the comments his cousin would of made if she was starting her journey here. As she went through her whole spiel, Yuu nodded to her 'good to meet you' thing, though it felt it had as much energy as his own delivery to the rest of the group... but considering the bags and who she hired, he could hardly blame her. The moment she got to the rules, however, Yuu's eyes drifted towards two individuals in particular: the blue gumball and Galarian half-wit. His piercing gaze was leveled at them the entire time, though he blinked to glance at Frieda and Professor Camphor at the mention of 'Nix.' Pix, as the Impidimp was called, seemed familiar as evidenced by their chuckling, "Try not to wander off Vivi." While he did whisper this to the Rotom phone, they were listening in on the conversation closely as a small, mischievous smile crept up on their screen. Yuu squinted as he stared at Vivi with a subtle scowl before looking over to the small group he was in, if it could even be called that, "Lets get going." As he did this, he made sure to keep a close eye on the blind boy, especially considering the number of trainers filing into the lab. Yuu was mostly silent, keeping a close eye on the blind boy as he marched onwards throughout the lab, with his excitable counterpart floating, buzzing, and probably being as ecstatic as the blue gumball. Every now and then, however, Yuu would pull the Rotom phone back to make sure they weren't drifting too far from him. Still, he couldn't deny the lab was interesting as his gaze shifted over each room. "Bio Lab," Yuu mused over what sorts of experiments they were doing in there, though it did give him some pause as he tried making a few connections mentally to himself. Lost in thought, Yuu went silent as he became transfixed on this subject, pondering over simulations ran to the reserve, and much, much more. Following this, he would stare at the Chemical Lab and concoct an idea of what research was going on in there; perhaps it pertained to how certain Pokémon were affecting Eidda's environment. His lips curled into a frown as he raised a hand and began chewing on the tip of his thumb; his body seemed to have come to a complete stop. It wasn't until there was a small static whirring by his ear that would break his line of thought that had him so entranced. Yuu blinked, his eyes shifting over to glance at Vivi as he sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he murmured "Thanks Vivi." With a grunt, he speed walked to catch up with the rest of the group, making sure to stop by Ryuuichi while keeping a somewhat respectable distance from the boy. Now that he got a better look at him, he realized that the person he was referring to as 'kid' was nearly as tall as him. Huh. In any case, he kept moving forward with some help from Vivi who continuously urge him onward and kept him from getting too distracted by his own thoughts... if only the same thing could be said about the scenery. It took every fiber of his body not to press his face against the glass as his eyes drifted over the landscape. This was Habitat A? He couldn't help but be stupefied by this place and was unable to really continue on his thoughts as he swiftly followed the group after into the elevator. The scale was quite impressive, though thinking that felt like an understatement... but it also begged the question: if this was 'Habitat A,' were there other Habitats as well? If so, how many? With a shrug, Yuu pushed those thoughts to the side as he looked down, studying the entirety of Habitat A, the Professor's voice being ambient noise as he took in the sight. This moment felt like an eternity as he looked over the rocky alcoves, the winding planes, and even the beach all compounded with artificial sunlight. That moment, however, wasn't infinite as the elevator door opened up and Yuu heard those words: "Go find them." Shifting his gaze, he looked at the open door as he took a few steps forward and procured a Pokéball from Frieda, softly sighing as he looked over each of the small Pokémon wandering Habitat A. As Yuu looked, he tightly squeezed the Pokéball, feeling his own heart pounding in his head. This felt different than battling with rental Pokemon at the school or even doing mock battles utilizing his Dad's partners. Yuu sighed as he felt a peculiar sense of warmth washing over him as he looked back up to observe more of Habitat A, though he did raise an eyebrow when thinking about her words. He recalled putting on that part of the application 'no preference' and didn't recall exactly having one assigned to him or what not, but it seems some of the others did. His grip on the Pokéball became even more taut as took in one deep breath before breathing out. Guess it was time. Before he moved out of the elevator, he glanced back at Ryuuichi to see how he was doing. He blinked. He then blinked again, followed by a double take, making sure he was hearing what he heard correctly as he stared at the cup. "Wha- why do you still have that," Yuu sighed, sounding rather befuddled and exasperated at what he felt was a contrived situation, "You could of just... left it on the table back in the waiting room, or did those other four not tell you there was a table there?"

"Oh come on you two princesses, no need to start a cat-fight," Svein piped up as he finished his own coffee, extending both his arms out with an amused smirk as he pointed the coffee mug towards Nevine, "Don't want to wake up sleeping beauty, do ya?" Despite the noise in the room, Nevine didn't really stir from her slumber, not even realizing another Pokémon was being put on her.

This elicited a small chuckle from Svein who leaned over to place his coffee mug onto the table before snatching up the remote and aiming it behind him and clicked it to change the channel to something else. "I might be more of a coffee guy, but I'd love to try some of your tea the next time we meet," as Svein said this, he winked at the green-haired girl before looking up to the "new" arrival.

"Woah, woah, slow down there Vic! One question at a time," Svein feigned wincing, closing one eye as he leaned back into his chair. "Regardless, good t'meetcha; the name is Svein, Eidda's future Champion!" The young man made a show of it as his arms exploded upwards as if he was appealing to an entire stadium of people. "As for me, I'm from this cool region called... 'Eidda.'" Svein chuckled at his own joke before quickly waving it off.

"Regardless, maybe I'll tell ya another time; 'sides there's more interesting stuff going on right now, eh?"

As he did this he jabbed a thumb behind him at the TV "Liiiiike stuff 'bout the Mexatus Institute, some Contests finals going on, and some other banal crap going on in the region." Following that, he snapped his fingers to point forward and circle around Laurel and Remi, "Or you could stick around and watch these two bicker and banter over coffee versus tea."

Yuu

Bjyerlfal City || Camphor's Lab || Morning

---

"Sounds good to me," Yuu responded succinctly as he leaned back up, pushing himself off the side of the couch he was lean-sitting on in one fluid motion. As he did he glanced back over to his own bag and back to the reusable one the lollipop lass was offering before mentally sighing. Right, he had his own. Beyond the awkward look he gave, Yuu's face reverted back to a rather stony visage as he stared at the girls reusable water bottle. Before he began walking away, however, he took note that she seemed to be trying to show the boy as well? Yuu tilted his head, "Wait, did she not notice he's-" ... hm. Well, from the angle she's looking at, it made sense that she didn't realize it yet; even Yuu almost missed the lack of gaze from the boy's eye through their blonde hair. Yuu briefly closed his eyes, gently sighing as he pivoted his heel, one hand in his pocket and another on his shoulder bags zipper as he began his short jaunt towards the counter, staring at the few remaining cups. As he did this, Vivi made a crackling sound, making it seem like the Rotom phone was short-circuiting. "Confused? Well, it's becau-" Before he could finish explaining, he was suddenly assailed by another one of the myriads of other trainers hired by Camphor. Glancing down and to the side was a pale, clueless looking boy and his Budew at his side. Yuu and Vivi couldn't help but blink in utter confusion at the utterly incompetent introduction that threw the two through a loop, "Uhh it's natural... sooo thanks, I guess?" Yuu was squinting at the boy as he gave a bemused response through his teeth whilst the purple Rotom phone floated over to Yuu's messy purple hair and lifted it as if they were trying to analyze some sort of recently unearthed secret. Before he could completely process the entirety of the clueless boy's question Yuu was assailed with another question. At this point he looked half-tired and half-annoyed at this boy's attempts to make small talk with him, rolling his head back and pursing his lips. "Exploring the region," Yuu answered in a brusque manner, crossing his arms nonchalantly as he whipped his head up straight. This whole talk was... whatever as he stared straight at the few remaining coffee mugs. Before Yuu had the opportunity to disengage from whatever this sorry excuse of a conversation could constitute as, he suddenly had a cup thrust onto his person. The lavender-haired boy's eyebrows furrowed, looking down at the cup and blinking before looking back to the clueless boy. ... who had abruptly ditched him with their coffee. "H-hey, what do you think you're doing," Yuu sputtered, unfurling his arms as he deftly slipped his fingers through the handle of the mug and pointed it at the fleeing boy. "Don't dump your crap on me; I'm not a friggin' butler," he frustratingly exclaimed, gritting his teeth as he glared daggers at the back of the boy's head. Vivi reacted much the same, except they were bouncing around, whirring, whizzing, buzzing, and making all sorts of electrical sounds in place of expletives. Gritting his teeth, Yuu looked down at the coffee mug and scoffed, "Didn't even finish it; the audacity of this guy." Yeah, no, he was not cleaning up someones mess, let alone someones half-drunken coffee. Seriously, what the hell. With a heavy huff, he shrugged and pivoted around, continuing his march towards the counter, grumbling about that flighty imbeciles little stunt in the meantime. As he did so, he made sure to try and keep an ear and eye out over some of the other trainers. From what he saw, Mr. Mediocre was hitting it off with the half-wit Galarian which only served to make his eyes roll so hard that they might almost fall out of his skull. As he approached the counter, in one fluid motion, Yuu slid the half-drank cup of coffee there whilst quickly snatching up an empty cup from the counter. Following this, he took out his own reusable water bottle from his bag and popped it open before pouring water into it. As he did this, he kept a close eye on some of the other trainer's in the vicinity whilst Vivi whirred into one of his own ears. "Not worth the trouble, though I will say I'm worried about his Budew. If he can't even handle cleaning up after himself, I doubt he'll be able to even properly care for the Budew, let alone evolve them." Between the understanding static and midst of filling this cup, Yuu did his best to ignore the blue gumball, instead glancing over in the direction of two plain individuals. "Orange looks like every other dime-a-dozen trainer I've seen passing through Hearthome... though Miss Turtleneck and her Mankey... hm," as Yuu finished filling the cup up with water, he clipped the bottle shut before popping it back into his bag and picking up the cup of water. Before he began his walk back, he let his gaze linger on the woman and the Mankey for a moment before smirking a little and shallowly nodding. Weaving through the group of people, Yuu's eyes drifted over the most contrasting set of people you could ever imagine: a gaudy girl that reminded him of one too many fashion incidents at the Super Contest Halls and a person he could aptly call a Zigzagirl. Unlike most fashion incidents, however, he briefly overheard the gaudy girl trying to uplift up the Zigzagirl instead of pushing them down. While Yuu's visage was mostly neutral, it lacked any sort of judgement in that time, especially since he was helping a blind kid out with the only other person he could really tolerate right now. As he drifted nearby the two, he made a passing comment that probably they might only be able to pick up on, "That I can agree on." As he stated this, he looked back over in the direction of the two blondes attempting to initiate the closest thing he could describe as a "courting ritual," before shifting focus back to his original targets... who was now flanked by the unreliable imbecile. Great. Pechay. With a heavy sigh, Yuu trudged up by the trio, clearing his throat as he made his approach, "Hey kid, I got you a cup of water here if you need more. Just put your hands out." As he nonchalantly said this, Yuu leaned over, waiting for the blind boy to take the drink from him. If he did take it (or even after a few seconds of not taking it if he so chose to), Yuu would turn his attention back to the half-wit flaker. "As for you, Yuu's head turned as much as his voice did when he went to face the flaker, changing from a cool and smooth tone to a more harsh, growl, pointing accusingly at the boy. "Don't you try dumping your crap onto me again, capiche?"

Side Post: Tuule
Interactions with: Risette - @Rune_Alchemist
Location: Camphors Lab

While initially Tuule was taking puff of his pipe, he nodded to Risette's statement before taking another. It wasn't until she issued a future challenge that he paused his smoking. "Gahaha, I'd like t'see you try lass! Dhel an' I welcome the challenge," Tuule heartily bellowed, smiling at the lass as she and her little friend went on to join the rest of the trainers inside.

Taking another puffed, the captain remained silent as he began strutting towards the lab and taking his place right by the door. As he did, he listen to the sounds of the lab come alive with different voices and sounds alike. There was a small, almost proud smile on his face, much like how a grandfather would give to his grandchildren.

"So this is the new generation... I wonder if they'll be alright charting their own paths." As he pondered on this, he kept his ear close to the door; the different voices weren't as cacophonous as the waves at sea, but he was keeping his ear open to one specific person.

One whose blood was probably closer to the contents of coffee as opposed to iron.

Yuu

Bjyerlfal City || S.S. Calliope => Camphor's Lab || Morning

---

As Yuu leaned against the railing, Vivi would making a static sound every now and then to get the boy's attention with Yuu following up by tapping the purple Rotom Phone. *Click.* This would be compounded with Vivi doing a little spin before making what sounded to be a happy whir as a photo would appear on the phone's belly. This wouldn't last long before he watched someone obnoxiously insert themselves into the conversation with the Captain, causing the boy to scowl and mutter "Seriously," under his breath. Great, the cavalry was coming and it sounded like she was from somewhere in the south of Galar with a cockney accent. Yuu was much like her top: struggling; unlike said top, it was more trying to understand her enunciation. "How the hell does someone pronounce Professor as prunefessor," Yuu pondered, pinching the bridge of his nose as he exerted all of his effort not to straight up roll his eyes. As he did this, a soft whir buzzed by the side of his face, leading Yuu to utter to Vivi that he was fine. Following that, Yuu had the pleasure of having his thoughts interrupted by the voice of a high-pitched, excited girl. Glancing up, he saw a blue-haired lass that would of been shorter than the Galar Girl if not for the Azurill bouncing on her head. Unlike the other girl, he seemed less nonplussed about her, instead staring at her partner Pokémon. He glimpsed at the small band they had on... Lonitt as the peppy gumball called them. Yuu studied the small creature, watching her happily bounce away as the girl praised them, "Well groomed, looks happy... hm. Has good taste in Pokémon too." His musings beyond the blue girl's praises about her partner Pokémon went only as far as the Captain calling out to him. Yuu frowned at the claim, crossing his arms as he grumbled with a small tsk, "I'm not sulking." Guess that was his cue to join with the rest of the co-workers as he trudged over to join the rest with Vivi floating close behind, waving to the rest of group in lieu of Yuu. As he did, however, Yuu met the gaze of the exorcist. It... startled Yuu a bit and gave him some pause at the intense stare the man was giving him, only for Yuu to return it in full force, glaring and scowling at the man. Seriously, what the hell was he looking at? ... Whatever. Ignoring the weird exorcist, Yuu turned his focus more to the group. And as if on queue, his next future co-worker arrived just as he linked up with the rest of the group, his eyes drifting over to the much cooler and composed of the bunch when compared to the much more excitable gumball and lopsided lass. Unlike the others, she seemed more tolerable as she went on to calmly confirm if the arriving group was headed for Camphor's Lab. When she glanced over in Yuu's direction, he merely gave her a short nod of his head to confirm her answer before watching her turn her attention to the Captain. Yuu remained quiet during this time, not deigning to interject on the topic of the battle, though his eyes did glow a little the moment she pointed out the Dhelmise's careful care, specifically with the seaweed. The boy found himself involuntarily nodding in agreement at her assessment as he began wondering about what ship this Pokémon spawned from. This was followed by her asking where they might find one. Yuu's ears perked up at the question, followed by his face. Sure, he still looked a little moody, but the curiosity was plain as the eye could see as he gestured with a finger for Vivi to come over to him for a second. The Rotom Phone figured what was up and nodded with a gleeful buzz of excitement as they swooped in front of Yuu's hands. "Thanks Vivi,' he murmured as he pressed and swiped on the screen of the Rotom Phone, opening up the notes application he had on them. He kept his ears pealed and hands ready as if he was readying to draw a revolver in a stand-off. Yuu seemed focused on the Captain as he regaled the quartet with a tale of hardship, struggle, and triumph... or something like that. Yuu couldn't tell if the tale was true or not, but in spite of it he seemed entirely engrossed in the Captains tale before hearing the words "Rivenwall." In less than a second, his fingers aptly danced across the screen of Vivi, before glancing away from the Captain to read 'Catch Dhelmise in Rivenwall.' With that, he pressed the save and focused on the rest of the Captain's story. Though of course he had to end it on a cliffhanger... not that it mattered as Yuu mentally filled out the rest of the story in his mind, "Crashed his boat, saved by a Dhelmise that combined with his wreck, Dhelmise becomes his 'first' crewmate, etc." Well, that's what he figured anyway. Beyond that, the exorcist wasn't earning any points with Yuu as he still felt their eyes boring on him. Seriously, what was his major malfunction? Beyond his stupid jokey comment about praying for Tuule's survival in the story, he was glad the man was going to- Wait, did he mention ghost hunting? There was a shiver that went down his spine as the Captain mentioned that as Yuu's eyes briefly locked with the Kantonan mans. There was an uncomfortable silence that felt like it lasted for as long as Celebi or Dialga willed it as Yuu swore he heard his own heartbeat. Was he aware of Yuu's past in someway through her? Was he being haunted? "No Yuu, focus... focus," he sighed the last bit out as he murmured to himself, shaking his head. "You're overthinking things again Yuu and imagining silly things that your silly mind keeps conjuring up again and again. It was probably chance that he was so focused on me or something. He doesn't think I'm... She's... she's... no, its whatever at this point. I made a break. A fresh start, far, far, far away from home and from Unova. This is fine. 'I' am fine." Vivi whirred over Yuu's deathly silent brooding, tilting its antenna as it circled around beeping its concerns which was more than enough to break the young man out of his trance. "Ah? Oh, it's nothing Vivi, just was... reminded of something, that's all," he forced a smile, waving off the Rotom phone like it was nothing, though they didn't seem particularly convinced. Vivi didn't seem to mind that, instead buzzing and pointing directly at the group who had taken a few steps. Right, they were going to the lab. Burning sunlight. Right. Yuu breathed in and out before making a couple of quick steps to ensure he was right by the group. "Also, Vivi, care to snap some photos of the wild Pokémon around the city? I'll make sure to also snip any pictures around the city that interest you as well, alright?" The Rotom phone formed a little o on the screen as its mouth before twirling around and whirring in excitement as they shook their head and gave Yuu a little beep as the boy pressed a button on the Rotoms screen. *Snap.* The jaunt through the city was largely uneventful to him. While noise from the people and ads blaring out at Yuu irritated him, there was little to draw his interest beyond the few Pokémon in the area and even then he had already snapped pictures of them. At this point, the towering young-man was holding onto Vivi as he swiped a picture into a folder labeled "Pokémon Pictures" before moving another into a folder labelled "Vivi Stuff." "Magikarp, Tentacools, and Wingull around the docks... can't tell what that is because of people in the way... Starly..." Yuu silently mused to himself over the pictures. While he was grimacing and glaring at the time, it was less towards Vivi and more as a result of the entirety of Byjerlfal. He could not understand how the Professor could deal with a gaudy and obnoxious city as this. Seriously. There was, however one ad that ended up catching his eye the moment he heard it blast from the big screen. Yuu's head swiveled in the direction of it, watching an advertisement that featured David Mexatus and the sanctuary he built in the region for displaced Pokémon in Eidda. As he watched, Vivi attempted to wiggle out of Yuu's grasp as they made whirring and static noises as they exerted themselves. "Hm," Yuu clicked the roof of his mouth; perhaps he could spare a visit whenever he found the time. Peeling his eyes away, Yuu shifted his focus back to Vivi who managed to completely free themselves from Yuu's clutches. In that instant, he saw an opportunity as he swiftly swiped across Vivi's screen and deftly snapped a picture of the Mexatus Sanctuary advertisement. Besides that, Yuu kept mostly to himself as he continued mindlessly snapping pictures for an excited Rotom phone. Before Yuu even knew it, the five of them found themselves in front of the lab. However, before he could even thank the old sailor, the rumble of an engine and screech of tires permeated his ears as a blur rushed by the group before doing what he would describe as an "Akira Slide Maneuver." Yuu could only scowl as he uttered to Vivi to get back into his pocket, to which they did without question though they did make some annoyed buzzing noises towards the two newest arrivals. And somehow she was more obnoxious than the half-wit Galarian girl. That definitely earned a Mean Look from Yuu as he glared at the duo, making sure to meet the white-haired thugs gaze with his own. Before he could even say anything, the cool-headed girl made a comment about a Caterpie nibbling on the back of her head. That broke Yuu's concentration on the hired thug, causing the boy to smirk and chuckle a little as he looked at the red-haired girls head before pivoting on his heel and strutted inside with the rest of the group. As he did this, Vivi poked their head out of Yuu's jacket pocket and buzzed in confusion at why he didn't say anything. "Waste of my time. 'sides, why should I bother with a thug that's obviously trying too hard?" As Yuu stepped into the lab, he took a whiff of the coffee addled air as he bore witness to how packed this entire place was. His eyes drifted over each of the trainers here, attempting to get a brief read over each and every arrival, including the ones from his own group. Every step he took, Yuu blinked and was moving onto another trainer. He blinked, and then another. And then a screech from the gumball girl broke him out of his focus, watching as she went to prodding and poking a blonde-haired boy with some sort of equipment. Yuu could only raise an eyebrow as he tilted his head and stared at the girl with a lopsided frown. These were the people she hired, huh. "Can't tell if it's desperation or not at this rate." Watching the girl disappear, his eyes glided over to those at the table, looking over the relaxed gray-haired boy in leather chuckle as he lazily held an empty coffee cup, exclaiming a "Here, here" to the effeminate boys comment on someone having good taste or something. Though who he actually focused on the most was the slumbering girl with a Vulpix and Sprigatito resting in her lap. He blinked a couple of times looking at her, wondering how she could even sleep through this chaos. Unfortunately for him, the blue gumball bounced back into his sight as he was dragging his feet through the entire room and he sighed at how frustratingly distracting that girl was. His head drooped, shaking it in vexation before lifting it up again as he continued his slow descent into madness. As he stood in the midst of the room however, he ended up overhearing the duo chittering and flirting away. It was enough to make his eyes roll out of his head. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he watched the girl bounce off with little fanfare once more before walking over to the side of the shorter boy and commenting, "Want some actual wisdom? Focus on your actual job instead of flirting. Then maybe you might have a chance at being mediocre." Yuu's critique of the boy was scathing and he didn't even bother waiting for or listening to whatever excuse the boy would sputter out, instead gliding over to the couch and resting against it. As he did so, he glanced over to see the cool girl checking up on one of the other trainers, asking them if they were alright, though it seemed he just needed water from the sound of it. "There's a restroom over... there I believe if you want to get some wa-," Yuu suddenly interjected, leaning over as jabbed a thumb in the general direction of the boys restroom before abruptly stopping himself. As he leaned over, he noticed the boy's eyes, or rather an eye-patch coupled with a dull blue eye. This gave Yuu some pause for a moment, though before he could say anything the Professor's Assistant made an announcement. "... hm. Well..." Yuu stammered, putting the hand he was pointing with to his chin and rubbed it before sighing and running his hand through his hair, awkwardly rubbing it. "Hey, miss," Yuu piped up, looking directly at the calm girl with the lollipop, "Uhm, look. How about you stay here and chat with the kid while I go get some water for him. I'm not much of a conversationalist after all." As he stated this, a purple Rotom phone popped out of Yuu's pocket, buzzing and whirring as they gestured to themselves, as if stating they could stay and provide a conversation for the boy. "... you're not either Vivi." Vivi buzzed in shock and playful frustration as they batted at the lavender hair while Yuu barely reacted to them. "Anyways, does that sound good?"

"Hmm?" The solid old oak of a man raised an eyebrow as he glanced the the side at the shorter, blonde haired girl as a small frown and furrow crept across his face.

"Bit rude to interrup' someones conversation lass... harumph, kids these days." That small frown didn't last even a second as he cracked a smile with a hearty, baritone chuckle as he looked over the girl before glancing back to the exorcist. "Care t'put a pin on our chat for now Masaru?"

The young man nodded, "Aha, of course Captain Tuule, though I must be going soon," and offered a quaint smile to the man and the rest of the three.

"Thanks lad," Tuule responded before watching as another sprightly girl joined the group. "Quite the crew Camphor picked out; bright and bushy-tailed... well, most of you anyways," he remarked as he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Yuu for a brief moment. "Get over here lad; yer not going t'get anywhere sulking like that," he called out to the lavender haired boy, gestured with his thick, gnarled hand to come and join the rest of the group.

As the Captain drew attention to the sullen boy, the Kantonan Exorcist glanced over at the boy, looking at him with a curious gaze, "Oho..."

Whether or not Yuu would join the rest was up to him. Regardless, the ship captains gaze would turn back over to the group while the exorcist's would remain firmly on Yuu.

And before Tuule knew it, another newcomer had arrived. As the girl addressed each of the individuals, the Captain counted off over everyone with a craned finger before the newest of the bunch addressed him. "Hah, thank you for th' kind words lass, especially towards Dhel. They certainly deserve the praise," the older man smiled warmly at the girl as he lauded his Pokémon, giving the Pokéball in his waist-pocket a gentle pat.

Following that was the girls question.

The old sea Captain stroked his beard as he looked around at the small audience, cracking an even bigger smile with a twinkle in his eye. "If you have to know lass, I might as well tell it to everyone here." Tuule would give a large gesture with his arm to the four of the new hires and exorcist as he took a puff from his pipe.

"Back in my younger, more vulnerable years, I wasn't th' Captain you see today but a small lad learning t'sail off the coast of Eidda. I was brash, burnin' with a hunger for more as I crashed against each wave, pushed against each and every current... yet my confidence would lead me to take a turn for the worse." Captain Tuule paused for a minute, taking another puff as he looked up, inhaling the salty air before continuing.

"There were signs that a storm was brewin' off the coast of Rivenwall. I didn't heed th' warnin's, instead taking my first vessel out t'sea once more. T'would prove to be my undoin' as I was taken aback by a sudden squall! I thrash and crashed against the wave, lookin' to navigate the violent seas! As I attempted to brave this storm, my ship broke against the craggy rocks that dot much of Rivenwall's waters." As he described the last portion of his tale, Tuule would whip the hand with his pipe forward in an exaggerated motion, as if the pipe was the vessel itself.

"What happened next, you might be wondering, well," Tuule paused, holding the group up in suspense, waiting to see each and everyone of their faces.

"... that you'll have to wait on for another time. After all, you didn't come all the way to Eidda to listen the tales of an old sailor after all." Tuule let out a hearty chuckle.

"Hm hm... quite the cliffhanger there Captain... I do pray that you survived," the Kantonan Exorcist chuckled. "Unfortunately I do believe our exchange ends here. I must be going, otherwise I'll be late."

"I understand lad. Good luck with your contests and ghost hunting."

With that, the Kantonan man would make a small bow to the Captain before taking one brief look over the rest of the new trainers once more, eyes still lingering on one of you in particular before departing.

"Anyways, we're burning sunlight; lets get you four to th' lab." The Captain would then begin to march off, gesturing for Yuu, Tilly, Melissa, and Lina to follow directly after him. The quartet was free to discuss things or question the sea captain further as he wouldn't be too far away from the group nor leave anyone behind.

As they walked towards the city, the group could see the a couple of beach-goers walking along the beach or engaging in battle. Wingull could be seen flying overhead with some people, tourists or otherwise, either feeding or attempting to catch some on the beach. There were multiple stands for numerous types of food, some coming from Eidda with a few advertising snacks that would come from outside the region.

As the group would further make their way into the city, the sea-side shops with seafood, summer-wear, and so on would fade out of sight, naturally transitioning into the bright-blasting lights Byjerlfal that lit the city up. Myriads of ads flashed across electronic billboards, swapping rapidly between contests to advertisements for different products.

One advertisement talked about the strides that David Mexatus, CEO of the Mexatus Corporation had made in the region with setting up the nature Preserve, thanks to the help of Professor Camphor.

And then another would go on to talking about how Master rank contests were being held today, as the screen would go onto flashing different performances of high profile coordinators, as well as the competitors. "Will these rising stars be able to make a splash? Or will the Contest Masters keep their crown? Find out after the break!"

This was to say nothing of the crowds either. The streets grew more frantic the further the group went in as both people and their Pokémon alike rushed to and fro. Some looked late for an important business meeting whilst some were posing outside of tourist traps or massive skyscrapers that stretched into the atmosphere as Starly and Pidove peeked over the edges of some buildings.

"Don't worry, we're nearly at the calm in the midst of the storm."

It was as the Captain stated. The further the group was lead into the city, the less claustrophobic everything would seem to be. There were less people and Pokémon around and even then they seemed to be in less of a rush than their contemporaries. Eventually, the group would come upon a rather small and inconspicuous building... granted it did stick out like a sore thumb with the numerous skyscrapers dwarfing it and the tall fences blocking off the city from it.

The only sign that it was a lab and not someone's private property was the large ‘Camphor Laboratories’ hanging right over the sliding glass doors that led inside. A small pond was in front with a decorative fountain, along with a small geometric sculpture and some benches. The building itself seemed more clinical in construction, square with pristinely clean white walls.

"Here we be," Captain Tuule proclaimed, looking over the four. "Been a while since I've been to the lasses lab; hope she isn't just holing up like the last time I was here." The captain mused to himself as he took another puff of his pipe before gesturing to the lab. "Best you all get inside and make yourself comfortable. In th' meantime, I'm going to get one more puff before joining you all; the little lass doesn't particularly like smoke."

All dreams end when the dreamer wakes. Cold. Yuu observed with cold indifference as the Dhelmise dispatch the Annihilape with aplomb, his face stony and blank before twisting into a scowl the moment one of the awestruck onlookers beside him broke out into an uproar. He glared at the person with a dreadful, piercing gaze before sighing loudly and pushing his way out of the crowd. "Seriously? Did this simpleton really need to screech into my ear over this mundane battle?" Yuu sighed to himself, "Some imbeciles are too easily pleased." As he broke away from the cheering crowds he began to clear his thoughts and focus on the finer details in the battle, mentally breaking it down step by step. "What a one sided fight... the man with the Annihilape named Kasaru was overly reckless and let their partner take some unnecessary hits. As for the Captain... trained his Dhelmise to effectively take blows, combined with the opponents aggressive style... however..." While Yuu continued to muse silently to himself over the battle, as a booming voice erupted from the speakers, temporarily severing his line of thought and demanding his attention as he stared up at the speakers announcing their arrival at Byjerlfal City soon enough. The so called "City of Dreams," huh? Yuu shrugged before glancing down at his pocket. "Did the announcement wake you up Vivi? Sorry about that, I didn't realize I was standing so close to a PA system," as Yuu uttered this, a purple Rotom phone lazily whizzed out of his pocket, whirring something to Yuu to which he nodded, craning his neck back while sighing in relief, "Really? Glad to hear it wasn't much of a bother then... moreover, we're almost here." Gesturing to the horizon, the purple Rotom followed Yuu's hand as the latter began to walk towards the railing, with Vivi floating nearby him. The Rotom Phone seemed to be buzzing with activity as Yuu crossed his arms and leaned over the railings, staring over the city. Yuu briefly glanced over at the phone, watching as it was abuzz with excitement as he heard it click multiple times. He was glad one of them was having fun as he took note of the place before ruffling through his belongings. Honestly, he had better things to do over staring at that city, like checking if he procured everything he needed for this journey. Shifting through the rather sizeable bag, Yuu began murmuring to himself about the items in there, whether it was the sleeping bag, the multiple changes of clothes, non-perishables for himself and his future Pokémon, and even the singular potion he remembered to bring. Then he nodded. Good, everything was there and he didn't have to take a short jaunt back to his room to grab anything left behind. Looking back up, he resumed his position of blankly staring at the eyesore of a city, going back over the strategies he saw employed in that battle. However, that wouldn't change the fact that he was far away from home. And he was happier for it. After a couple of minutes the cruise came to an end as Yuu urged Vivi to come back to rest in his pocket so they wouldn't get separated. The Rotom complied and with a heavy sigh, situated itself back in his pocket. Yuu proceeded to then give said pocket a gentle pat and wistfully stated, "Don't worry buddy, you'll get to see more of the city soon enough; just don't want to get separated, that's all." Yuu's eyes drifted over to the Captain who was chatting with a man who looked straight out of Celadon or Ecruteak City. If he recalled correctly in the e-mail, they were told to meet up with the Captain of the ship alongside some of the other trainers. With a grunt, Yuu began to push his way past the sea of eager tourists and new arrivals threatening to drag him down the stair steps that had been rolled towards the cruise. Yuu managed to keep his own pace as the crowds failed to swallow the tall boy up and drag him towards the exit, or even shout at him to get out of the way. He was going at his own pace, and if anyone dared to shout at him to hurry it up, they would be met with a glare that could paralyze an electric type. Eventually he broke through the swathes of people before pausing for a second and glancing over the city. Yuu stared at the 'marvelous' skyscrapers that were aglow with excitement, his eyes drifting over to some of the stadiums rested atop them all. There were plenty of intricate designs as well, with less prominent buildings being able to standout with a sleek, pop-out design. Everything looked so congested; it was no different to a malevolent, but extremely bright and blazing maelstrom surrounding it all. It truly did remind him of home, except it was way, waaaaaay gaudier. And his first thoughts? "This place is giving me a headache..." Honestly, Yuu wanted to get this over with as he trudged over to the Captain who was still chatting with the man. Instead of interjecting or saying anything, Yuu parked himself by the railings close to the two, casually sitting against it as he waited for the two to finish chatting. Yuu was contemplating trying to locate the lab instead as he stared at the Pelippers and Wingulls soaring over the horizon if this talk dragged on for far too long. "Vivi," Yuu gently murmured to the Rotom Phone, prompting them to come out with a whir and salute, "you want to take a look around for a bit?" Vivi crackled with excitement as they did a small spin, floating about and eagerly turning their body to look towards the bright city that Yuu was quick to dismiss. Well, he was glad one of them was at least having fun.

“Gahaha, you guys have the steel to weather the toughest of storms, I’ll give you that!”

Amid the noise of the cruise liner guests, a boisterous, though gravely voice rang out high above the others. A small crowd had gathered on the top deck where one of the cruises' main attractions were - what else but an arena for Pokémon battles. This wasn’t just any normal battle, however.

On one side, a Dhelmise.

In another, an Annihilape.

“Most folks aren’t prepared for Dhel here.” The owner of the voice, an older gentleman dressed in an old dark blue navy uniform. Long wind-swept hair white with age. “Good, a man needs to be prepared to face any wave out on the sea.”

“Your praise is unneeded, Sir Tuule. This was merely a whim for Annihilape. He was quite eager to test his mettle against a strong opponent. He is my only partner and under any other circumstances the outcome might be very different.” The opponent, a man dressed in highly traditional looking clothing, something that perhaps might be seen in Tohjo or Kantona.

“Don’t undersell yourself. Luck has gotten many a man through a gale. Now then, lad, I’ll be generous and let you have the first move.”

“Very well then. Kasaru, Rage fist!”

Annihilape let out a cry, an angry but focused growl as it leaped forward, fist glowing with ghostly fire -

“Hah, Dhelmise! Phantom force!”

The seconds before it made contact, Dhelmise simply vanished into the ether, the fist of the Annihilape missing entirely.

It wasn’t unusual to see people fighting aboard the ship. What was unusual was that this was the ships Captain: a man by the name of Tuule and also the Gym Leader of Rivenwall. His opponent was a trainer that they had picked up in Kantona after a brief stop over for the final leg of the journey.

The battle would last quite a while, neither side being able to get a decisive blow or being hit with a battle changing move. Dhelmise made good use of its moves - it lacked speed compared to its opponent but yet, it hit much harder and was able to take more blows. Annihilape though, was faster and was able to avoid most of Dhelmise slower moves.

“Gyro ball!”

“Tch-Kasaru! Rage fist before it can finish the wind up-!” The monkey Pokemon leaped towards the anchor, but the moment he did so, the anchor was launched, slamming right into the Annihilapes body and sending it flying out of the arena, and almost overboard into the sea below.

“...Humph. Good fight, but not good enough kid.” The captain chuckled, grabbing a walkie talkie from his coat. “Alright everyone! I hope you enjoyed the battle!” His voice echoed everyone over the ship, coming over through the PA system. “This is your Captain speaking! We’ll be pulling into port shortly! Everyone get ready to pack up and move out! If you need assistance, ask any of the crew! I’ll be out on deck.” Turning back to his opponent he’d offer a toothy grin. “What’s your name, anyway lad?”

And so, the ship would pull into the port and Byjerlfal not too long after. Professor Camphor asked those who were aboard the cruise to meet with the Captain of the ship so that he would lead them to her lab.

The airport was just as lively as the ship was though it was of a different excitement.

“Like seriously, have you ever thought about getting into the contest scene? You’ve got the perfect bod for it and that serious cool demeanor the guys will love.”

“Ma’am, I’m just the security you hired. I’d appreciate it if you kept the hands off.”

“Wo-how. Re-jec-teeeeed. You know, most people would kill for an opportunity for me of all people to sponsor them, but here you are turning me down three times.” The woman in question was wearing a black and yellow dress, and somewhat eccentrically so. She looked more like she belonged home on a stage more than being at an airport.

“Ma’am, I’d ask you to stop being so loud before we draw attention to ourselves-” The other woman was dressed almost the exact opposite. A striped suit, long dark hair and a no nonsense, almost tired looking expression.

“Aw, and deny my wonderful fans a chance at an Autograph? Pfft, fat chance.”

“Ma’am, I am authorized to forcefully move you out of here and to the venue.”

“You’d use force against a delicate flower such as myself?”

“Yes. Excessive force.”

“Tch, you’re no fun, suit - ah. Well it looks like the fans found me.”

True as she said, a small crowd had gathered. A quick look at various posters and adverts in the plane terminal said something about the current round of contest finals being held in Byjerlfal - later today of all things! Aside from having the best of the best coordinators showing, the current Contest Star dubbed the ‘Dream of Byjerlfal’ was making an appearance herself - which was the woman now being swarmed by fans - the Bug Type gym leader of Honinngton by the name of Valarie.

The crowd was quickly growing and making it a small bit difficult to get out of the terminal. The security woman seemed less then amused and was seemingly questioning the life choices that led her to this exact moment.

Camphor had instructed all those that were coming from within the region to board a plane and be welcomed by one of her assistants. A woman by the name of Frieda.

The crowd was steadily growing. Above the crowd though, one could see a small sign being held up by what was a tiny little pair of arms that said 'Camphors Lab', though it was hard to see who was holding it up as they were now well past the steadily growing crowd of Valaries fans.

As for the lab, it was a lot less hectic and lively. The reception area was far from the stereotypically sterile interior one would expect of a lab, instead being more comparable to a business lounge.

Upon entering the rectangular room, instead of being greeted by tiles, anyone who entered would instead be greeted by a freshly vacuumed carpet and a large receptionist desk near the center back. The desk was oddly barren, aside from the coffee machine set up nearby with some packaged coffee beans nearby.

The walls would further compliment the lounge aesthetic with wooden panels, coupled with tables and chairs on the right side of the room that had untouched snacks laid out. The only thing that really stuck out was the massive TV taking up a huge section of the wall near the tables; it looked to be broadcasting something about the Mexatus Nature Preserve in the region.

And it was accompanied by the rich smell of freshly brewed coffee.

"Here ya go, Svein, one for you, one for me." A young, rather effeminate man with brown hair would pass a paper cup full of coffee to another slightly rougher looking fellow with grey colored hair and sharp eyes. "Annnd none for the ladies. Seriously, you guys have terrible taste."

"Tea is much better thank you, Mr. Forde." A green haired young woman in a fashionable beige dress with stripes was sipping on a small mug of freshly brewed herbal tea sat opposite of the sharp looking fellow. A Sprigattito was rolling around in her lap, trying to get her to play with it.

“I dunno Laurel, your Sprigattito looks miiiiighty interested in trying some.” The young man with the leather coat teased with a coy smirk, casually leaning back in his chair as he pointed the coffee mug directly at the stylish lady.

“Her name is Verdue, and you will address her as such.”

"Right, Verdue; whatever you say Princess~."

"...burnt toast." Laying on one of the couches in the lobby was another girl, slightly younger than the first was laying face down on it. A Slakoth was resting on her back, tilting its head sleepily.

"Aw come on, Nevvy! It's good for you! It'll give you lots of energy!" The younger man who made the coffee would pout lightly, before shrugging and walking over to the final occupant of the room. "Hey, freshly made! You want some? Uh...what was your name again?"
