Shadow nodded in approval, indicating he was proud of the Combusken. "Good job. Mind you, I can still kick your a**, and I'll do exactly that if I feel you're getting too cocky," he added with a small, playful smirk - he didn't want his little brother figure getting too big an ego, after all. Meanwhile, Bobby looked rather interested in the concept of Pokémon battles, though mentally he did have to wonder if they were all that boring or if there was just that huge difference in skill levels there.
Big Brother - Shadow has become protective of a Pokémon or person, viewing them as a younger sibling. Trauma and Restraint checks may get bonuses or penalties if said Pokémon or person is involved. Certain checks may even be passed or failed automatically. Current Siblings - Torch the Torchic, Saph the Squirtle
Telepathic Communication: Shadow is capable of communicating with others via telepathy. Should Trust drop below 25, Affection drop below 0, or Trauma rise above 100, he will stop using this ability until the offending stat is corrected.
Stable Aura: Shadow's Aura no longer induces fear in Pokémon, and fellow Dark-types will now automatically view him as a friend, if not borderline worship him. Should Trauma rise above 80, this perk will be lost until it lowers back to 80.
Aura Arsenal (Sub-Perk of Stable Aura): Due to his Aura's new stability, Shadow is now capable of manipulating his Aura, creating Aura-based attacks that do not take up moveslots. Should Stable Aura be lost or otherwise made void, this perk will be disabled as well. Techniques: - Aura Flare: Shadow flares his aura, dispelling binding/anti-escape moves (Bind, Whirlpool, Mean Look, etc.) and knocking away nearby opponents. Direct damage is negligible, however.

Trinity giggled at how Torch was acting now. She got the group moving again. Torch looked at Shadow, "Of course now, Bro. But you have got to admit how awesome I am right now." he said smirking. He sped up to walk beside Trinity. Trinity smiled at the appearance of Cerulean City, "Come on, guys. Time to get something to eat and a room at the poke center." She said cheerfully. "And Shadow, we're going on a date." Trinity said winking back at the fighting type. Torch paused in shock before looking back at Shadow. "No S*(&?! You confessed to her?! Can't wait for Jet to hear this!" he shouted amazed.
Shadow gave a small smile and a nod to his trainer/girlfriend (...though come to think of it, wasn't a girlfriend just a different sort of trainer?), then gave Torch a small smirk to indicate that, yes, he and Trinity were an item now.

Torch shuck his head before congratulating Shadow. Trinity was busy finding a restaurant and showing Buddy the city. She was making sure he didn't run off confused.
Bobby obediently stayed with the group, looking around with the sort of interest and curiosity you'd normally see in a little kid. Aero similarly looked around with interest, intrigued by all the bright lights and shiny things. Shadow, meanwhile, began trying to think of what he was supposed to do on a date. Like Bobby, he'd been rather sheltered (though he'd picked up more than the human had), so he had no freakin' clue how a date worked other than that it involved someone taking their prospective mate out somewhere to do things.

(.... Oh)
Torch saw Shadow thinking hard, "What's wrong, Shadow?" He asked wanting to help. Trinity smiled finding a good restaurant. "Come on guys." She said while also letting out Jet, Saph and Aster. The other three looked at the two new guys in the group before quickly following their trainer. Trinity got them a large table keeping Shadow and Bobby close so that she could help Bobby with the menu.
(Quite all right - easy enough mistake to make. xd)
"...I have no idea what to do on a date," Shadow reluctantly admitted to the Combusken. Still, he set that issue aside for the moment, sitting next to Trinity at the table. Bobby tilted his head slightly as he examined the menu. "Sooo... which ones are the non-meat stuff?" That caught Shadow's attention, the Lucario turning to stare at him slightly. "You're a vegetarian? As in you don't eat meat?" he asked, the clarification for Bobby's benefit. Bobby shrugged. "Well, with all the fossils I've mimicked traits of, I started seeing a few too many similarities between meats and some Fossil Pokémon. I'll stomach beef and pork if there's no alternative - haven't found a fossil equivalent for those yet - but I don't do seafood meats or bird meat," he admitted. Shadow blinked, thinking that through, recalling the pictures and names of Fossil Pokémon he'd heard and seen around Professor Oak's lab in the few days he'd been there; Aerodactyl, Archen, and Archeops were practically the prehistoric equivalent of chicken or turkey, and with all the marine-dwelling Fossil Pokémon he supposed there were bound to be a few similarities between those and seafood - now that he stopped to think about it, Armaldo in particular had an unfortunate resemblance to lobster. Considering Bobby had probably used his ability to mimic the aforementioned Pokémon before, seafood meat or chicken probably seemed to close to cannibalism for comfort. "...Fair enough," Shadow decided, returning to his own menu.
(Seriously, doesn't Armaldo look like a ginormous bipedal lobster? And Archen DOES have a faint resemblance to turkey or something if you squint...)

Torch thought about it but he didn't think anything he thought up would be good. Maybe Trinity could plan it. "Um isn't there any fossil plants? I thought Lileep was grass." Trinity said as she ordered him some fruits as she ordered herself a burger. (mmmm Tauros) She ordered her pokemon pokeblock and pokefeed.
(Meh, Emboar's tastier... mine is named Bacon. xd On a side note, actually did some research: did you know that Lileep and Cradily are not, in fact, based off plants? They're actually based off these marine animal things called sea lilies (which is probably where the -ily and Lil- parts of their names come from).)
"...Yeah, I don't think those are actual plants, but I try to stay away from seaweed, too," Bobby admitted sheepishly. Shadow seemed content to eat what Trinity had ordered, because he didn't ask for anything else; the waiter/waitress would probably assume he was one of the Pokémon Trinity was ordering on behalf of, anyway.

((Not Emboar would be spicy Spoik will be better twisted))
Trinity thought about it before nodding, "Ok that makes sense. Well enjoy the berries." She said smiling. Trinity then turned to Shadow offering half of her burger to him. She was thinking of where she will be taking him for a date. The trainer thinks she has a good one thought up.
Bobby happy started chowing down on the berries, sharing them with Aero every now and then. Meanwhile, Shadow took the half-a-burger with a nod of thanks and a kiss to her cheek before starting to eat as well.

Trinity smiled at Shadow just as Jet choked on some pokeblock seeing Shadow kiss her. "When did this happen?!" He shouted at Shadow shocked. Trinity looked confused at the now fussy Spearow. "Calm down, Jet. Try not to choke on the pokeblock." She said concerned. Torch looked at the other bird amused.
Shadow just looked rather amused at Jet's reaction as he continued eating, though he did keep an eye on him in case someone had to help save the little guy from choking; served him right for all that teasing before, though. Bobby, meanwhile, noticed Aero staring intently at something and followed the Aerodactyl's gaze. "...Uh, Aero? I don't think Trinity wants you to eat her chicken... turkey... thing..." Aero turned his gaze from Jet and gave Bobby a pleading look. When he just got an apologetic look in return, the Aerodactyl sulked, still occasionally throwing hungry glances at the Spearow. He was so sure the Small-Bird-Thing would've been tasty, too... maybe if it died from choking on the Tasty-Blocks, they'd let him eat the corpse? Probably not - humans were weird like that.

Jet shivered then eyed Aero. "Listen buddy, I got a mad peck attack. Don't even try to eat me." He warned. Trinity finished eating and looked over her Pokémon. She was happy to notice that Saph was growing bigger while Torch was checking out his new stature. Once everyone was finished, Trinity paid and lead them over to the Poke Center. Nurse Joy happily gave her a large room and keys. The young trainer opened the room and nodded to it satisfied. "Ok guys rest up here. You are stay with us, Bobby." She said kindly. Trinity then grabbed Shadow's paw. "Shadow and I have a date to enjoy." She sad winking at the rest as she pulled along her Pokémon boyfriend. Saph walked over to Bobby curious about the new human.
Aero didn't seem terribly dissuaded... mostly because he was a big-a** Rock-type, Peck was the weakest Flying-type attack in existence (not counting Aerilate moves), and Jet was small enough for him to swallow in one bite, maybe two. Bobby smiled down at Saph, sitting down and letting the little Squirtle into his lap. "Well, hi there. You're a cute little fella, aren't you? You actually remind me a little of this one Pokémon I saw a while back - Tirt-something, I think. Well, 'cept it had flippers and you have actual hands and feet," he noted cheerfully. Shadow obediently followed her, eager for the date and not wanting to be dragged along. Besides, it wasn't like he didn't enjoy holding her hand.
(Hmm... to mess with date, or not to mess with date... decisions, decisions... twisted)
