And then, Emmet sat up - his Joltik suckling on his Rotom. For food, of course.
"That was odd. I do not think I liked it. Nope."

"Emmet-kun...?" Shizuo blinked, looking a bit surprised to see the other man. He hadn't thought that anyone who had appeared in his dreams would follow him into reality... Or was he still sleeping? He gave himself a little slap to make sure.

"Good morning, Shizuo-san~" Estelle greeted, bringing a tray of food from somewhere. Seems like just sandwiches and orange juice for the moment.

"Or more correctly, good afternoon~! That was quite an experience wasn't it?" Estelle smiled, setting the tray down in front of Shizuo as his Growlithe got off. She also took two bowls of Pokemon food for Growlithe and Petilil from the tray.

"Yeah..." Apparently he wasn't the only one that had crazy dreams. Shizuo glanced down blankly at the food, not making the connection that it was for him. "What is this?"

His Pokemon, however, had no such trouble. They immediately rushed over to the bowls of Pokemon food, shoving each other and crying out loudly in their rush to gorge themselves.

"It's breakfast! Or brunch! Kind of light but you should eat something after you get up, right?" Estelle explained, taking a bite of her own sandwich.

"Oh and, not a lot of people are sure what caused that thing but they're looking into it I've heard," Estelle whispered to Shizuo, relaying some important info, or so she thought.

"Oh. Thanks," Shizuo mumbled as he began to eat the sandwich. It wasn't exactly his type of food, but the fact that anyone had actually thought about him made him more appreciative. Damn, why was she always so nice?

"Hmghf," he replied with a full mouth. "They jusb better nob do it again." He almost wished he hadn't woken up from his own dream... But Shizuo preferred reality to something fake, and defeating the flea in reality would definitely be so much more satisfying.

"You're very welcome~" Estelle smiled, probably moe sparkles shining around her idk is this an anime. YUP.

"Well maybe it had something to do with those... Team Plasma people? I'm not sure," Estelle sighed, thinking for a bit. "So what do you think you want to do next~? There's always the Gym challenge for starters, but there's always just traveling to the next town of course~"

The Team Plasma people were odd, but Shizuo didn't see what they would accomplish by screwing with people's dreams. Oh well. If they left him alone, then he would leave them alone.

"I don't do battles. What's the point of fighting over a piece of metal?" It seemed stupid and cruel to him. He took another bite out of the sandwich. "But we could travel to the next town." Shizuo was content where he was, but didn't mind more sightseeing.

((I was so tempted to have he actually see the sparkles.))

((Estelle used KIRA KIRA SPARKLE. It wasn't very effective...))

"Welll... they're not simply pieces of metal, Shizuo-san! If you eventually decide to trade Pokemon, a high level one won't listen to you unless you have the appropriate badges!" Estelle explained, making sure Shizuo had proper knowledge of what Gym Badges represented.

"Oh! That's wonderful! I think Nacrene City has just a wonderful library and so many pieces of art and a nice little cafe..." Estelle rambled on, excited about more traveling.

"Oh, but would you like to have a proper meal before we go? There's a pretty famous restaurant in this city after all~" Estelle recommended, a glint in her eyes.

What are you planning, princess?

The explanation of the badges didn't convince Shizuo that they were worthwhile. He didn't plan to trade his Pokemon, and didn't care for levels either. Hell, he didn't know what levels his own Pokemon were at.

A famous restaurant? "Do they have cake?" Shizuo asked, oblivious to anything odd going on. His dream cake had left him with a bit of a craving for real sweets.

"Oh! They have almost everything you can imagine! Hmmm... I'm in the mood for some curry actually," Estelle mused, her stomach letting out a low rumble. She decided this was a good time to stand up.

"Shall we be off then~?"

"Yeah," Shizuo agreed, standing up as well and perking up from the prospect of sugar. He tossed the rest of his sandwich at his Pokemon, who immediately began loudly squabbling over it.

Growlithe and Petilil finally split the remnants in half before racing to meet Estelle and Shizuo's pace as she led them to the Gym, though it did just look like a normal high-class restaurant from the exterior.

"Here we are~" Estelle smiled, facing Shizuo, indicating the obvious. "I hope you'll enjoy the food!"

Blah blah blah greeted by a waitress then led to a table, and ordering.

"I'll have your Keema Curry and a tall glass of water please~" Estelle ordered, smiling cheerfully. "Um, is a Strawberry Cake alright for you, Shizuo-san?"

Shizuo nodded, glancing down at the menu. "Strawberry cake and milk."

As they waited for the food to arrive, he quickly noticed some people staring at him. Which of course, annoyed him.

"What are you looking at?!" It didn't occur to Shizuo that he somewhat resembled a waiter himself, apparently.

"Certainly! Please enjoy your time until your food arrives!" the waitress said, taking down the orders, and was about to leave before spotting Shizuo's Pokemon.

"Oh, are you also interested in our special off-" the waitress began, but Estelle cut her off.

"Shizuo-san won't be taking the Gym Challenge, no. Thank you for the offer," Estelle smiled, the waitress nodding and taking her leave.

During the wait, it seemed Shizuo had gotten a bit riled up. She was wondering what was the matter, until...

"Ah! Shizuo-san! Your clothes are probably the cause!" Estelle gasped, pointing out the obvious. GJ.

Shizuo still hadn't made the connection. After all, it seemed most people in this world were obsessed with battling and gyms and such, so it wasn't odd to hear conversation about it.

"Tch. They should mind their own damn business," he scowled. He wasn't about to get new clothing until he had to, nope.

By now, his Pokemon were getting a bit bored. His Growlithe was especially restless, and soon ran off to harass other Pokemon, wreak havoc, and whatever dogs liked to do. There were a lot of people with their Pokemon out in this restaurant, actually. Wonder why.

"Ah well~" Estelle giggled nervously, and then the food arrived.

Ah~ Curry~ Not so bad, maybe she should order a bowl of vichyssoise while she was at it. Maybe she could pick up some tips.

"How's the food, Shizuo-san?"

The sight of the milk seemed to pacify Shizuo somewhat, at least. He began eating the cake frosting first, which seemed rather incongruous for a full grown man.

"'s good." And he talked with his mouth full too.

Edited 2012-02-20 22:53 (UTC)

"Aha~ I'm glad it's to your liking~" Estelle clapped her hands together smiling.

"Do you have any opinions on where to go next? I could suggest the Trainer School or the Dreamyard or just right to the next town~"

Shizuo paused for a moment and shrugged.

"Anywhere's fine." He couldn't say he cared to go back to school, but wherever Estelle wanted to go was cool with him.

"Excellent! Maybe you can learn a bit more about battles in the Trainer School! Just for the basics of course. There might be a situation where you can't avoid a confrontation after all~" Estelle suggested.

And so they finished their meal and went on their way.

"Hm, it seems like they left the descriptions of status effects on the board from the last time I came here. Why don't you read up about them, Shizuo-san~?"

"Yeah, yeah," Shizuo grumbled, halfheartedly staring at the chalk board. When he had agreed to go "anywhere", he didn't think it would involve actually learning anything about battling. He couldn't think of any situation where avoiding confrontation was impossible that wouldn't be solved with a good uppercut to the face anyway.

Poison, Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, and Sleep... Yup, battles still didn't sound like his thing. It was amazing that any Pokemon enjoyed this.

"You're a quick learner, Shizuo-san! Do you have it memorized~?" Estelle giggled, making some weird pointing motion at her head.

What was she doing...?

"Nope," Shizuo replied bluntly. He could remember some of the status effects, but didn't find them important enough to memorize them. He wasn't really a memorizing type of person anyway. It wasn't like he would ever need to know this stuff, right?

"That's no good Shizuo-san! What if you get attacked by a wild Pokemon and your own Pokemon come out to defend you and they get one of these statuses! You'll have to know which medicine to use right away!" Estelle scolded, puffing her cheeks out as more smoke puffs maybe puffed out of her head. If this was an anime or something.

Shizuo frowned. Okay, she had a point, though he didn't like being scolded like a child.

"Like this?" He asked, pulling out a bottle of Potion from his pocket. ....Close enough.

"Ah! Well... that's to heal your Pokemon's health when they get tired, but it won't do anything for status conditions~" Estelle explained, laughing sheepishly before taking a couple of colored medicines out of her bag. Sprays colored orange, yellow, blue, green, and pink were laid out.

"These are the things you need to rely on when your pokemon are affected by status conditions, Shizuo-san~ Orange is for poison, yellow is for paralysis, blue for when they fall asleep involuntarily, green is for burns, and pink is for when they're frozen~" Estelle explained, pointing to each one carefully.

"Though they sell this gold colored one that heals all conditions anyway too~ You need to have enough badges to actually buy those though," Estelle remarked, laughing nervously again.

Shizuo scowled, putting away the Potion. This was too complicated. There was no way he was going to remember all of this junk!

"Why restrict the gold ones?" He demanded. If someone wanted to heal their Pokemon easily, then they should be able to do so. This world was crazy.

"Oh, because simply taking your Pokemon to the Pokemon Center works too I guess~" Estelle giggled, laughing away the fact she made that an afterthought.

Estelle. :|

...What.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Shizuo couldn't tell if she was messing with him, or just being stupid.

"Ah! Well, I thought if you couldn't get to a Pokemon Center before your Pokemon fainted from one of these conditions in the middle of battle then you would know about what treatments to use!" Estelle apologized, waving her arms frantically in distress.

Get a hold of yourself.

Oh. Well that made sense.

"Kay," Shizuo said, placated. He took out a packet of cigarettes and was about to pop one out when he realized the box was empty. And he shook it again just to make sure.

"..." He had totally forgotten about restocking. Did they even sell cigarettes in Unova? Shizuo had never seen anyone else smoking.

"Ahaha~" Estelle giggled nervously.

Silence as they both got out of the Trainer's school.

"Oh, um... t-there's cigarettes in the shop at the Pokemon C-center," Estelle suggested helpfully. "You can buy some and t-then we can head to Nacrene City!" Estelle suggested, a bit shaken from her earlier mess-up.

Sigh.

"Thanks," Shizuo muttered.

"...Why are you acting like that?" He had a feeling that Estelle was still scared of him, which made him a bit annoyed. But the reason people were scared of him was because he got annoyed. A vicious cycle.

"N-no problem! And it's nothing at all! Ahaha!" Estelle smiled nervously.

It would be a long day.

((FFT Okay xD He's onto you B| Andd that's a wrap))
