Ashton stretched out a bit, nodding his head lightly in reply to Neo’s comment about his father. Don’t give up. He scoffed at the thought, and then smiled to him. ”Yea… I have no intention on giving up, don’t think otherwise.” he replied, tilting his head slightly as he continued, “…and hey, maybe when you head to Lacaille, let me know? I could show you around.” He scratched the top of his head as they stepped up to the café, peering inside at the complaining customer and grunting. Ugh. People just couldn’t be happy with what they got. Should consider herself lucky that they were even bothering to make such an order. He took a glance toward Neos when he remarked about her, and smirked, feelers gathering back up near their bows. ”Not sure what it is about coffee shops that attracts it. Don’t see it really anywhere else.” he said, nodding. Ashton paused, lingering outside of the door as he listened to Neos talk, a faint smile on his snout as the other trainer explained his current experience. He nodded his head in return at Vize’s suggestion, grinning. ”Honestly, the Gym challenge seems like a lot of fun. I haven’t gotten the chance to challenge one yet, but I plan on doing so while I’m out on the road. Who knows, I might even become the champion.” he said, grinning all the while. He was just about to continue when Romileus scared the hell out of Neos, and found himself snickering in response. He reached up to touch his snout, trying not to laugh too hard at the shouting reaction, pearly whites flashing in the light. His feelers wiggled in the air, seemingly out of his direct control while he was laughing. ”You know, if you get your Pokemon fully under control, I’ve no doubt you’ll do well as a trainer. You've got the right attitude, I think. I’m still having a lot of problems with the same thing, honestly… you got the brunt of that with Medea." He shook his head, glancing inside, and then pulled the door open for Neos, letting him in first. He’d follow behind, giving the Pokemon all time to enter as well behind him. ”Seems like it’s the hardest part of the ‘job’, really… and it’s a good thing you’re starting with such a strong first group. And smart, from the sound of it.” he said, briefly glancing toward Vize before turning to approach the counter and order. Just a normal café mocha, no adjustments, nothing special. After allowing Neos to order his own, he’d pay for the both of them and turn to find a table. NEOS RAVELLE

Neos squinted at Ashton as the Morph laughed at his misery. “That’s not funny!” he protested, brow furrowing. ( That was pretty funny, ) Vize replied. The tall Weavile earned a displeased side-eye from Neos. “And you want to become the region’s Champion?” Neos asked Ashton, eyeing the Sylveon Morph from top to bottom. “You can do it. Ashton the Champion. Everywhere I look, I’ll just see you. The TV, billboards, posters, radio, advertisements, everything. Even if you do become the Champion, don’t let the fame go to your head,” Neos said. “Plus, I don’t think I care enough to go that far into the League. I’ll just challenge a gym or two just to see how it is, I guess, and that’s it.”Vize glanced at Neos with a frown. He didn’t like what he heard. Neos and Vize stepped into the coffee shop with ease. Romileus, being nearly eight feet tall, had a lot more trouble fitting in. The whole entire shop seemed to stop and stare at the enormous Gliscor stomping into the cozy cafe. Romileus grinned and waved a large pincer in greeting; he was a good boy. ( We are both perfectly under control. We can think for ourselves. Neos doesn’t need to do anything, ) Vize told Ashton. Neos made a face and went back to trying to decipher the cafe’s strangely organized menu. Just what was with all of these ridiculous drink names and cup sizes? It took a solid three minutes for Neos to have any sort of clue of what he wanted to drink. “Can I have a medium – … okay, a Grande sweet tea?” Neos asked the cashier. He was just about to pull out his own wallet, but Ashton went ahead and paid for both of their drinks himself. “Thanks,” Neos said, following behind Ashton as the two found a table. Once Ashton sat down, Neos did so as well. Both Vize and Romileus stood around the table awkwardly. ( We’ll both just go to the outdoor patio,) Vize said, motioning for Romileus to follow him. ( Holler if you need anything. ) Right before Vize and Romileus stepped outside, they turned towards Ashton and Neos and grinned at the two males. Then, the two Pokemon left the cafe to relax on its outdoor patio. Neos blinked and looked at Ashton. “… I have to say this: I really hope what those two were saying earlier while we were coming here didn’t bother you,” Neos said as he fiddled with his drink’s straw. “They are both characters as you have certainly noticed, but they mean well. Besides–”There was a pause. “They don’t see me socialize with much of anyone, so they are both happy I’m finally able to talk to someone like you.”Another pause. “… And when I say that, I don’t mean that as a bad thing. I mean–”Neos huffed. “You know what I mean. I hope.”ASHTON AYREDALE

Ashton listened, and grinned widely. Ashton the Champion. It did sound rather good, didn’t it? Hell, he was almost already letting the ‘fame’ go to his head and he wasn’t even champion yet. He’d nod his head in response to Neos, and then shrugged a shoulder. ”As much as it’s clear that Vize would like to do it… the Challenge isn’t for everyone. That’s fair enough. You don’t have to force yourself to do the whole thing. But maybe you’ll find that you like it.” he said with a kind smile. He reached out… patting Romileus on the head as he squeezed his way into the café with no small amount of noise. He turned his gaze to Vize as Neos ordered. ”Under control, perhaps. Still arguing with him rather loudly about eating humans." He waved a paw, and then reached up to continue scratching under Romileus’s jaw. ”I’ll admit, I’ve seen worse behaved Pokemon, no doubt about that.”He stepped away from the two of them and found them both a table, dragging out a chair to sit carefully. He’d set his mocha down, and then looked up to Vize and Romileus, offering a wave. He turned his gaze back to Neos, and smiled, tilting his head slightly. His large ears swiveled toward Neos, paying complete attention as the other spoke, letting him work through what he was trying to say before responding. ”I get what you mean, I think. And no, they hardly bothered me at all.” He smiled, lifting his mocha to test a careful sip. Finding it to be fine, he’d draw a longer drink from it and set it down. ”…honestly, some of it was pretty funny. I think Romileus is rather cute. Vize seems to either purposefully take what you say the wrong way or at least likes to mess with you. Maybe a bit too much.”He glanced toward the door briefly, out to the patio. Duster had apparently followed along side the others, and was sniffing at the Gliscor curiously. At least the bat Pokemon seemed friendlier than the Weavile. Ashton turned back to Neos, giving him a warm smile. ”…Honestly, I’m pretty glad to get to do a bit of socializing myself. It’s been a rather lonely road so far.” he admitted, ears tilting back slightly, ”I’m not one to complain much, so I’m putting up with it. And at least I have my Pokemon. And it’s not like I’m as desperate and depraved as Medea made me out to be.”He let out a smooth laugh, covering his muzzle with a hand, shaking his wide head. ”I think for the moment, I’m going to catch a few more Pokemon in the area… and ten probably go check out that Gala that’s about to happen. And after that, I’ll start my Gym Challenge.”

Neos visibly relaxed when he heard that Ashton wasn’t bothered by Vize’s and Romileus’s comments. “Vize is like that; he likes to mess with me, but he doesn’t misunderstand things,” Neos explained. “Romileus is just a cheerful Pokemon until I don’t give him enough attention. Then, he’ll do anything to make sure that I’m focused on him. He particularly likes throwing my stuff all over the place and making me hunt it down. He’s quick to offer help with that though.” Neos looked at Ashton. “I don’t think you’re desperate or depraved … you can’t be looking like that.” Now, Neos didn’t care too much for physical appearances, but he couldn’t deny that Ashton was good-looking, even if he was a giant, intimidating, humanoid Sylveon. “There are plenty of Pokemon to catch, and that Vega City Gala sure seems interesting. I might actually go there myself,” Neos said before finally taking a drink of his sweet tea. "I’m trying to make an effort to visit everything that this region has to offer, and Vega City seems to be one of the places to go if you’re new to Stellara. Who knows -- maybe we’ll see each other at the Gala.” Neos offered a smile. “As for catching Pokemon, I think I am alright with Vize and Romileus for now. However, considering how things are with me, I’m sure another Pokemon will want to travel with me soon, and I’m not saying that because I’m that good with Pokemon. Honestly, I don’t know what Vize and Romileus see in me. There are clearly a lot more experienced trainers that they could both go along with.”Neos shrugged his shoulders. “But perhaps they actually like me. I know Romileus does, but Vize shows it in a different way, I guess.” Then, Neos perked up for a second and smirked. “Oh, and you don’t have to cover your mouth when you smile. I can handle sharp teeth. Have you seen Vize’s and Romileus’s?”Neos glanced outside. Vize and Romileus were busy chatting with each other, and Romileus was trying to figure out why Duster was sniffing him. ( Hello! ) he greeted at the tiny Eevee, smiling a mouthful of fangs. ( You’re Ashton’s buddy, right? What’s being with him like? ) Vize, on the other hand, turned to look at Neos and Ashton through the cafe’s large windows. He smirked. ( It seems like their date is going well. )Romileus’s enormous head snapped towards Vize. ( LET ME SEE. ) The Gliscor peeked into the cafe through the window without any ounce of subtlety. ( Wait, is it a date?! )Vize lowered his eyelids. ( No, but it might as well be. ) Romileus waved a pincer at Vize. ( These things take TIME, Vize! Plus, I don’t think they have any feelings for each other. )( Yet, ) Vize interjected. ( Exactly! YET. But they’ll show up with time! )( Neos is dumber than a potato when it comes to anything romantic, ) Vize said. ( Believe in him, Vize! ) Romileus insisted before turning to Duster. ( What do YOU think? ) ASHTON AYREDALE

Ashton lifted his drink, listening to Neos with rapt attention, leaning slightly against the table they sat at. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck and shaking his head, a blush under his fur as Neos complimented him. ”…Honestly, I haven’t done much dating or looking for a relationship… I think Medea has picked up on that. Almost using it against me at this point.” He said, shaking his head and letting out a quiet snort. Bah. Lifting his drink with one hand, he settled back comfortably, long legs stretching out a bit under the table. His wide head turned, glancing out toward their Pokemon as Neos brought up his own. He bobbed his head with a slight nod, scratching at his jaw with a claw on his free hand as he listened closely. He had a genuine smile on his face when he looked back over, laughing under his breath. ”Yea, I guess I’m being a bit silly about that… Wasn’t really thinking hard on it, I, uh, just didn’t want to do anything too intimidating after… earlier. He replied, ”I’d say you should go to Vega City, for sure. It’s like nowhere else I’ve ever been, beautiful huge buildings, bright lights, and it’s right on a wonderful beach. Absolutely gorgeous, honestly.”He paused for a moment, taking back a drink from his coffee. “I’d just be careful, it’s a bit of a tourist trap, so you might find yourself spending more there than you really planned on when you started. If we do end up running into each other at the Gala, maybe I can try and help you avoid the traps. And, ah… maybe we can enjoy some of the festivities together?”He flashed a white fanged grin at the last part, and then glances out toward the patio, and their Pokemon. Duster hopped a bit as he was greeted, looking up to Romileus and yipping in reply. ( “Ashton’s great! I’ve been with him for about a year now and he’s always really nice to me! Cleaning me up, giving me homecooked meals, brushing my fur... really kind! “) Duster replied, managing to wag his whole body instead of just his tail. ( “Well, as long as I’m behaving at least. He can be pretty stern when I end up getting us in trouble.”
Duster didn’t seem too downtrodden about that, though, still wagging lightly as they spoke. He blinked, hopping up onto the Gliscor’s tail and trying to climb his way up onto his head in order to peek inside of the café along with him. He tilted his head at the question, thinking carefully. ( ”Well, Ashton seems to like him. I’ve not seen him take anyone else out on a date!” ) Duster’s head tilted even further, almost entirely sideways. ( ”Though maybe he’s just trying to make up for Medea… I don’t know. I’d like to see him find someone, though!" )NEOS RAVELLE

“I hope you don’t feel ashamed about not dating or pursuing relationships. I can’t say I’ve done much of those either,” Neos said. “As you can probably guess, I don’t get much interest from others.” The trainer shrugged his shoulders. “But don’t be afraid to smile while you’re around me,” Neos said with a grin. “Yes, I know that I freaked out earlier, but those were different circumstances.” He then weighed Ashton’s comments about Vega City. “I really need to go there soon to see the city and the Gala. I hear the Vega City Gala is a big deal in Stellara; pretty much everyone goes there. It even draws people from other regions.” Neos took another drink of his sweet tea. “I want to get some things at the Gala, but I need to be sure I don’t burn a hole in my wallet while doing it.” He glanced at Ashton. “I think I’ll take you up on your offer of meeting at the Gala. When do you plan on going? Oh, we can also meet in Lacaille City too. I have some business to do there.” Neos noticed Ashton looking out towards the patio; he turned and gazed out the cafe’s large windows. Vize, Romileus and Duster appeared to be having an animated conversation. “I bet you that they are talking about us,” Neos commented. “But it seems that they’re all getting along. I was worried about Vize and Duster being together.”( Ashton sounds like an excellent trainer! I’ve seen a lot of trainers, and they don’t seem very nice at all. They just scream orders at you and make you train nonstop and constantly throw you into battles … ) Romileus explained. ( But Ashton sounds like a perfect trainer who really understands Pokemon! I guess it helps that he’s part Pokemon too. Those Morphs are really something interesting. ) The Gliscor listened as Duster spoke again; his gigantic, triangular ears perked up. ( You’ve never seen him take someone on a date?! A hunk like him!? ) Romileus was absolutely floored. ( How is that possible?! ) Vize rolled his eyes. ( Romileus. You might be giving Ashton a little too much credit. ) ( Vize! You have seen Ashton! You can’t deny that he is handsome! ) Vize looked into the cafe at Ashton. He looked back at Romileus and shrugged. ( He isn’t ugly, ) the Weavile said. Romileus lowered his eyelids. ( Of course he isn’t ugly! ) the Gliscor shouted, waving his arms about. ( You know what, Duster? I hope Ashton does find someone nice! I want the same for Neos! He’s always so lonely. I worry about him. I try to cheer him up all the time, but I want him to be happy. I’m sure being held in someone’s big, strong furry arms will make him feel better! ) Romileus tilted his head and placed his pincers on his hips. ( Alright. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but that doesn’t change the fact that I believe Neos finding someone to be with will improve his mood a lot! )Vize scoffed. ( Neos getting somebody? I’ll believe it when I see it. ) His red eyes fell on Duster. ( So, Ashton wants to challenge the Stellara Pokemon League, right? ) Vize asked, lips peeling into a white-fanged smirk. ( Can you battle? )ASHTON AYREDALE

"Wait, really? You don’t?” He asked, admittedly surprised. He peered over at him, honestly not sure if Neos was telling the truth. ”…I hardly believe that. I thought you’d get plenty of offers.”He waved a hand at Neos, and then leaned against the table, smiling over at him. He curled his hand back around his mug, lifting it. His feelers reached out, curling around the mug and guiding it up to his mouth. He listened to Neos, large ears still swiveled toward him attentively. At least it was easy to see that he was paying attention. ”I’ll be heading to the Gala in a couple weeks, a little after the grand opening. I don’t want to get caught up in those opening crowds, though I’m sure they’ll be just as terrible a couple days in.” He lowered his drink back to the table gently, fluffy tail swishing lightly behind him in his seat. ”And you’ll have to warn me ahead of time when you’re in Lacaille so that I can meet you there.”Ashton grinned widely, glancing out toward their Pokemon. ”Yea, looks like they’re getting on well… I’m glad for it. Seemed like we were going to have a fight there at the start.” he snuffed, shaking his head. ”…And as much as Duster would be willing, I’m pretty sure that your Pokemon would do a number to him.” He laughed, shaking his head and settling back in his seat. Duster hopped a bit back and forth, listening to the larger Pokemon speak. He seemed about as excited as Romileus about their trainers getting along, honestly. And he seemed happy about all of the compliments that his trainer was getting, wagging his tail back and forth quickly. ( “Yes I can! And he’s training me up to be a Sylveon!” ) he yipped up at Vize, hopping. He wiggled, shaking out his fur and squinting up at the other Pokemon. ( “I bet you thought I couldn’t because I’m small! But I’m stronger than I look!” )NEOS RAVELLE

Neos was surprised by Ashton’s own skepticism about him not getting any romantic interest from others. He didn’t comment on it at first; instead, Neos waited until Ashton was finished talking. “I wouldn’t let Vize fight Duster; that’s just asking for Duster to get torn apart.” Neos paused and gave Ashton an apologetic look. “No offense. I’m sure when Duster is stronger, he’ll be able to keep up with Vize fine. Speaking of which, aren’t Eevees able to evolve into several different evolutions depending on its environment and the way it is treated?” Neos asked. “Did you know what kind of evolution you wanted Duster to achieve?”“Oh, if you want to meet up, let me give you my phone number,” Neos said as he pulled out his smartphone and brought up his contact information. “... Do you want my phone number?” He was asking just to be certain; he didn’t want to assume that Ashton wanted to give up his personal information to someone he had just met. ( ASHTON IS GETTING THEM DIGITS, ) Romileus screamed from outside, loud enough for Ashton and Neos to hear. Neos glanced at the Gliscor, who was practically pressing his entire face against the window, and sighed. “And no, I don’t get much interest from anyone when it comes to attraction or dates. People usually focus on others.” Neos shrugged. “I suppose I have something to do with that. I don’t really get out much. I like to be by myself, but I wouldn’t call myself antisocial … at least I hope I’m not antisocial.” The dark-skinned human took another drink of his tea; he placed his phone in front of Ashton in case the morph wanted his phone number. “But anyways, that’s why I commented about you earlier. Looking the way you do and your personality, I figured it’d be really easy for you to make friends … and get phone numbers and dates and all that.”( Did you see that?! Neos gave Ashton his phone number! ) Romileus cheered. ( I think Ashton is getting one step closer to finding his special somebody! ) The Gliscor took a few steps back from the window and smiled widely; the window was fogged up where Romileus had pressed his face against it. Vize only offered Romileus a glance at the moment; he was too focused on Duster at the moment. ( You’re training to become a Sylveon? ) he said with a hint of disgust. He didn’t have much love for fairy-types; for whatever reason, they had a type advantage against dark-types. ( So, you’re just going to be a miniature version of Ashton. ) Vize smirked at Duster’s spunky retort. ( Oh? You’re stronger than you look. Perhaps, but you can’t hold your own against me. ) The tall Weavile motioned idly with a paw. ( Maybe when you evolve and actually get some decent training, you may have a chance. Just don’t get confident at the type advantage you’ll have. I have answers to my weaknesses. ) ( He’s going to be a mini-Ashton? Does that mean he’s going to be as buff and tall as Ashton? ) Romileus asked, dead serious. Vize turned and stared at Romileus. ( Why the hell would this runt ever grow to be like his giant beast of a trainer?! )( I don’t know, man! Maybe Ashton has secret training techniques! Ashton didn’t become as buff as he is sitting around and doing nothing! I’m surprised his shirt hasn’t ripped to shreds yet! ) Romileus said before looking at Duster. ( Has Ashton’s shirt ever ripped apart before? )Vize slapped a paw over his own face. ASHTON AYREDALE

”Yea, Duster wouldn’t stand much of a chance in a battle against either of your Pokemon right now. And my plan for his evolution is…” He paused in his speech for a brief moment… it was almost a strange suggestion when he thought about it, ”Well, I’m planning to evolve him into a Sylveon, actually.”Ashton grinned, rubbing the back of his neck and laughing a bit. ”Which means, mostly, treating him well, and teaching him a fairy-type move.” He lifted his mug to finish off the mocha. ”Not like I’d ever think of treating my Pokemon poorly, even if it wasn’t beneficial in this case.”He’d continue to smile, and then tilt his head at the offer of exchanging numbers, a brief look of surprise on his face. Maybe he really shouldn’t have been too startled by it, considering that they were talking about meeting up elsewhere. It would probably be rather difficult to do that without having a way to actually contact each other. He scrambled, briefly, for his own phone, pulling it out with a grin. ”Oh! Yea! Of course!” He replied to the offer, leaning over to take down the number in his contacts, and then would tap out a quick message to Neos so that the other would be able to add him as well. { :3c – Ashton }He’d glance back up after, and his ears would tilt back with a bashful blush under his fur as he was complimented. ”…well, you don’t seem too antisocial to me. Maybe I’m running into you on a good day?” he said, his tone light and playful, avoiding addressing the comment about his looks directly, ”You can count me as a friend, at least. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate.”He grinned, settling back in his seat and tucking his phone back away in his pocket. Meanwhile, Duster was sort of squared off with Vize again, though less fluffy and intimidating than last time. He nodded firmly, yipping in response. ( ”I’m going to train as hard as I can! I don’t think I’ll ever be as big and strong as Ashton, but I’ll do my best to compare!” )…Honestly, it was a little terrifying to consider a hyper muscular Sylveon, considering how lanky they were normally. What would that even look like? He looked about ready to continue when Romileus queried about Ashton’s shirt. ( “…Has his shirt ripped apart?” ) The question had actually managed to slow down the hyper energetic Eevee briefly. ( “…Well, there was that one time while he was working on his bench press… he stopped wearing shirts while working out since then.” )NEOS RAVELLE

“So, he’s going to be a Sylveon? Heh. He’s going to be a miniature version of you,” Neos commented. “And since you’re a Sylveon … at least part Sylveon, you’ll know that much more about him. You treat your Pokemon very well, so I’m sure that they are happy to be around you, even if Medea is crazy. I--Oh."Neos stopped once he noticed Ashton texted him. He went through his phone, opened up the new message, read it and gave Ashton an unamused stare. "Really?" Neos said before flipping his phone towards Ashton so he could see the obnoxious message. "This is going to be your first text to me?" Neos shook his head and grinned. "Well, it looks just like you," he teased. After all, he had been noticing Ashton's constant blushing. Neos typed away on his smartphone, composed a reply to Ashton's text and sent it. It read: "Hey, this is Neos -- the guy that Medea chased around the park as a shirtless version of you.""I do appreciate you doing all this, Ashton. You didn't have to, yet you did it anyways. Hanging out with you has been great. It's been a long while since I've been able to sit down and have a good discussion with someone. We'll definitely have to do this more in the future," Neos said. "Are you busy in a few days? I was thinking we could meet up again. I'm not sure what we'd do, but I'll come up with something." With that, Neos stood up from his seat, his now-empty sweet tea in his hand. "Unfortunately, I have to head out. It's about time for Vize to do some more training, and he'll kill me if I'm the reason why he misses it." Neos offered Ashton a genuine smile. "Thanks again for this, Ashton. It might not seem much, but this means a lot to me. It really does. I'll be sure to contact you if I need anything, and please, do the same if you need anything from me."Neos started to make his way towards the cafe's outdoor patio. "Let's see what they are doing," Neos told Ashton as he stepped outside. Vize and Duster were in the middle of a mild stand-off. Duster claimed that while he would never be as strong as Ashton, he would still be a force to be reckoned with. ( If you can't become stronger than Ashton, then you can't claim to be strong at all. You're a Pokemon; he's not, ) Vize said firmly. ( My advice is that you train. Hard. Don't stop even after you reach your goal. Never stop improving yourself. )Neos also arrived in time to hear Duster talk about one specific incident Ashton had. It involved Ashton, the bench press, heavy weights and a super tight shirt. Neos blinked, nonplussed for a moment, before turning to stare up at Ashton. "... I'm going to have to ask you about that later," he said before motioning to Vize and Romileus. "I hope you two had a nice conversation out here with Duster. Vize, I'm glad you did not try to fight Duster."The tall Weavile rolled his red eyes. ( Yeah, yeah. Whatever. ) Romileus had an enormous grin on his face. His triangular-shaped teeth sparkled in the sunlight. ( So, how was YOUR conversation with Ashton? ) Romileus inquired. Neos looked at the massive Gliscor and nodded. "It was very nice. I enjoyed every part of it," Neos replied, much to Romileus's joy. ( Great! I'm happy both of you had fun! You better hang out with Ashton again! ) Neos waved a hand. "Relax. I am. I can't pass up a friend like Ashton." Romileus smiled so wide that it was a miracle that his mouth didn't tear at the corners. He giggled stupidly and made a motion with his pincer to coax Neos into talking to Ashton. Neos made a face and turned to address Ashton. He stuck out a hand for a handshake. "Please, be well, Ashton. You have me if you need anything. Oh, and I'll be sure to message you about any plans. I'll be seeing you two soon."( See you guys! ) Romileus said, waving wildly. Vize huffed and gave Ashton and Duster a quick salute. ( See you two. ) He looked down at Duster and smirked a mouth full of fangs; he turned around and followed after Neos. Romileus lumbered behind the two; he walked faster so that he caught up to Neos. ( I'm so happy for you, ) he said, resting his gigantic pincers on Neos's shoulders. ( He really likes being around you, you know that? )"... I think he was just being nice," Neos replied. ( Neos. He wouldn't have offered to do all these things with you if he was only being nice about what happened earlier. He even asked for your number; what does that tell you? ) Romileus said. Vize looked at Romileus and nodded. ( I have to admit that Romileus has a point. )Neos dipped his head low. "I don't want to mess this up."( Mess what up? ) Romileus asked. "... This friendship."( Why would you mess it up? ) Romileus questioned. "I've -- … I don’t want to talk about it right now.”Vize and Romileus frowned in unison. ( Alright, man. You don’t have to talk about it now, ) Romileus said. ( You know you’re going to have to talk about it if you ever want to overcome it, ) Vize stated. Romileus gazed at Vize in surprise before turning to gauge Neos’s reaction. Neos tipped his head down lower. He said nothing. ASHTON AYREDALE

His ears swiveled back as he wore a wide grin on his face. He stood carefully from the table, rubbing the back of his neck. ”That’s what I was thinking, actually. I’d like to have a good connection to my Pokemon, and there wouldn’t be a better way than having him be a Sylveon as well, I don’t think.” He smiled, and then paused as Neos lifted up his cell phone to view the message. When Neos looked back up to him after reading it, he laughed aloud, feelers wiggling lightly as his tail wagged behind him. ”…yes, that’s my first text to you. I thought it was fitting enough.”He continued to grin as Neos typed out his text back to him, squinting down at it and then back up at Neos, snuffing. Bah. He really wasn’t going to live that down, huh? He shifted his weight to the side, tucking his phone back away and laughing softly with a shake of his head. ”…Don’t thank me. I didn’t have to do it, but I wanted to. And I had a good time, too.” He followed Neos out toward the patio, smiling softly, ”I think I can clear up some time to do this again, definitely. Just let me know when you’re free? I’ll get back to training with Duster in the meantime.”As they stepped out onto the patio, and into their Pokemon’s conversation, he looked rather startled, ears pinning back. Oh god. Why was Duster going around talking about that. And then he was blushing again, waving a paw and laughing. ”…Yea, ah… I can explain later.” he replied, trying to move past the topic of his shirts. He beckoned Duster over, who would head over to him, still thinking about what Vize had said to him. He scratched the top of his Eevee’s head, and then let him hop up into his arms, planting a light kiss on his forehead. ”I’m glad you all had a good time while we were talking, then.” ( “Yea! I really enjoyed it too! Vize gave me some really good advice.” ) Duster yipped, leaning up into the kiss before climbing his way up to Ashton’s shoulder, looking back to Vize. Ashton tilted his head, glancing between them. ”…Really now? Good. I’m happy you two got along. I had a feeling you and Romileus would, but I wasn’t sure about Vize.” Ashton said, his smile leaking through to his voice before he turned his attention back to Neos. He’d reach, taking the other by the hand and shaking firmly. ”Be safe, Neos. Keep in touch. I mean it.”He released his hand, stepping back with a grin and dipping his head. ”…See you soon. Real soon.” He said before stepping back and turning to head off. He waved back at Neos, heading off toward the Pokemart to prep for his trip to the Gala. Duster stood with a new energy. He wanted to train, and he wanted to get stronger. And once he evolved, he wanted to spar with Vize! NEOS RAVELLE

This was an excellent thread. Good job! ASHTON AYREDALE - +35 EXP, +35 PD ( 7 + 35 = 42 EXP, 6 + 35 = 41 PD ). I can't grade myself so I'll let another mod do it.

NEOS RAVELLE well well well, the all-powerful admin comes to me for help, hmmm let's see now... You get both +36 EXP and PD, I'd give you more but considering you got the number of one hot piece of eye-candy, I figured that was enough for you~
