Hulbury is a bustling seaport that many visit to see its lively market stalls and famed restaurant, the Captain's Table, where Chairman Rose is rumored to frequently eat.

✧✧【Leaving the rolling hills and terraced fields of Turffield Town behind, Eveline and her Pokemon set off on the path leading eastwards out towards their next destination. At least it seemed like the roads here between towns and cities were relatively straightforward, if rather lengthy. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to grab a bike from somewhere to help get to places much quicker than just traveling on foot, or at the very least a Pokemon large enough to carry her on its back. Setting those musings aside for later, Eveline gave Lambrusco a brief summation of her encounter with Aura and what had transpired in the Slumbering Weald the night before through their mutual mindlink. The Delphox listened with curious intrigue, though a brief hint of worry in the old fox’s eyes didn’t go unnoticed either.”I see… Well, at the very least it seems like you’ve planned this out quite adequately… My only worry is if she can actually maintain that human form of hers indefinitely or not,”he spoke after taking a few moments to digest the information,”The last thing we need is for her to suddenly revert at the wrong time in the wrong place.”
Now that they were talking about it, she hadn’t exactly thought to ask the Zacian if this transforming ability of hers happened to have any limitations… If there were, Aura hadn’t made any mention of them from what she recalled. As much as she wanted to assume that she could stay human for as long as she wished, she might have to ask for more information on that sometime. At least so that there wouldn’t be any nasty surprises in the future if the wolf’s disguise was to fail at the absolute worst timing. ”Yeah… I’ll have to talk with her about it, she didn’t explicitly mention any particular drawbacks but better to be safe than sorry,” she agreed, glancing over momentarily to the Zacian as they walked close together, the redhead’s arm still slung around the taller woman’s shoulders. Aura hadn’t said a word since they’d visited the geoglyph, the disguised wolf’s head was lowered as her gaze was fixated on the ground, seeming deep in thought with a troubled expression on her face. She and Lam had mentioned something called… The Darkest Day? What exactly that entailed she had no idea, but judging from the name alone it definitely sounded like a huge, disastrous event that had happened centuries, maybe millennia ago. Perhaps Aura had particular memories connected to this particular bit of history, yet the Zacian seemed somewhat hesitant to share exactly what the Darkest Day meant to her. Which led her to wonder, how much about this stuff had her dad known about prior to his disappearance? What kind of research had he been doing out here that involved the Dynamaxing phenomenon? Maybe this place in Hammerlocke she’d been given the key to would be able to answer at least a few of the more prominent questions she had in mind, or at least give some insight on what had gone down leading up to the exact day he had seemingly vanished without a trace. Or that was her hopes, at the very least…
For now, though, she figured that the Zacian could share what she knew whenever she wished, giving Aura a gentle pat on the arm both as a gesture of reassurance and to snap her out of her daze. ”Suppose I should start introducing you to your teammates, oui? Especially since you’ll be accompanying and fighting alongside them for zee foreseeable future,” she suggested, waving a hand towards the Delphox walking alongside them. Hazy eyes brightening as she turned her attention to their new company, Aura flashed the fox a shaky but kind smile and dipped her head politely to him.”A-Ah, yes! Of course! Forgive me for neglecting introductions earlier, my name is Aura. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, sir…”
”Lambrusco,”the Delphox returned easily with a respectful bow, offering a soft grin of his own in kind,”But just Lam is by all means fine by me, the pleasure is all mine, miss Aura~”The Zacian’s smile widened a touch more at that, quite pleased to meet another Pokemon who seemed to be the polite, gentlemanly type. She’d definitely have to get to know Lam more sometime, maybe learn a bit more of his history with Eveline since they seemed to be quite close... For now, though, it seemed they had other matters to tend to as the Delphox gave her a nod and a knowing wink before turning his attention back to their trainer.”In any case, we should take the opportunity to prepare ourselves for the upcoming gyms, train up some of our teammates who could use it the most,”he suggested, humming thoughtfully as he did a cursory scan of the general area. The Pokemon here would definitely be a bit more challenging, but the experience would certainly be much more rewarding in return. At the very least they shouldn’t be too difficult to battle against, hopefully…
Eveline nodded wholeheartedly in agreement, that and she should probably start putting more of this stuff that they’d been buying and collecting along the way to good use. They did have some very useful items on hand, they wouldn’t be of much help just sitting around and collecting dust in her bag the entire time. ”Right, well let’s start by divvying up zee spoils we got zo far, oui?” she remarked with a chuckle, giving the Zacian a parting pat on the back as she withdrew her arm from around the disguised wolf and grabbed a handful of Pokeballs from her belt. She didn’t exactly have items for all of her Pokemon yet, but they could worry about getting more stuff later if they happened across anything else that could potentially be helpful along the way. Sending out Gin, Chardonnay, Gimlet, Merlot, Armagnac, and Tequila in particular, Eveline rummaged through her bag to see what would be the most helpful for the time being. ”Here, Gin, I think you can use this to your advantage,” she said, pulling out the Flame Orb attached to a leather collar and tying it around the Luxray’s neck. Having a relatively consistent means to strengthen his attacks through his ability would definitely come in handy for battles, though at the cost of an ailment that would drain away his health over time on top of taking damage from their opponents. It’d be a risky strategy, for sure, but against Nessa and her Water types it would definitely come in handy. Gin hardly seemed to mind, though, he supposed dealing with a minor annoyance in exchange for more power was a decent enough tradeoff. If anything, being burned was probably the least problematic status ailment to deal with in battle.
With that settled, Eveline went around distributing other items to the others, handing Gimlet a Metronome to power up his attacks, using one of the Tag Balls she’d bought on Chardonnay so she could get some use out of that Light Ball to enhance her power, and using those new TRs to give Merlot, Armagnac, and Lam some new, stronger moves. ”And for you, Te, how about this?” she suggested, holding out the EXP Share in offering. The Centiskorch eyed the odd helmet device furtively, then looked to the redhead, eyes narrowed skeptically as if to say ‘You can’t be serious, right?’ ”Well, it iz a way to help you grow stronger without needing to fight, zo… Suit yourself, I’m sure someone else could find a use for it instead.” At that, the fiery centipede gave a curious hiss, now that was an interesting prospect. She supposed it would be worth having to deal with… whatever the hell that thing was if it really could aid her in becoming stronger like her trainer was claiming. ”Heh, I thought zo,” the redhead murmured with a smirk, Gimlet huffing and rolling his eyes. Of course she wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to piggyback off of everyone else’s hard work and still get some kind of reward without having to lift a finger, or… leg in this case, but he supposed he couldn’t complain too much. If anything, it’d just mean more action for him! Tequila allowed Eveline to attach the odd helmet thing onto her without any resistance, though having to wear something like this would take some getting used to in the meantime. It wasn’t exactly uncomfortable, per se, just weird for some reason…
All the while, Aura stood off to the side, watching Eveline tending to her Pokemon, handing out items and using those odd discs they’d gotten from the marketplace to do… something. It seemed those particular discs were quite fragile, as they shattered into pieces only moments later after being used. A lot of these objects were very unfamiliar to her, she had no idea as to what they did or what they were for… but she supposed they provided some kind of benefit to their user. Which reminded her… Her hand twitched slightly as she raised her arm and patted it against her hip, as if feeling for something she had on her only to realize she didn’t have anything. Strange… she felt like she should have a particular object on her person for some reason, but… What exactly was that thing she was thinking of? And more importantly, why didn’t she have it with her right now? Had it gotten lost somehow? Or maybe… stolen? Why couldn’t she remember?! She supposed it probably wasn’t anything to lose sleep over, but the more she thought about it the more she felt really bothered by it for reasons she couldn’t entirely place. Taking a deep breath, Aura forced back that building frustration in the back of her throat before it could boil over and spill out, eyes darting around in search of something else to focus on to take her mind off of this odd anxiety she was feeling. Her blue-eyed gaze met with Lam’s across the way, though if the Delphox noticed her troubled state he refrained from commenting on it. Instead he only offered a small smile, which she shakily returned before her attention drifted back to Eveline as she returned most of the Pokemon she’d sent out, leaving out only the Perrserker apparently named Gimlet.
The redhead figured it’d be best to just focus on training one or two Pokemon at a time, at least so the experience from battles wasn’t getting spread too thin between so many at once. ”Let’s get to knocking around some heads then, oui?” she suggested, chuckling as Gimlet bared his dagger-like claws eagerly at getting in on some more action.”Heh, now that’s what I like t’ hear!”he crowed with a cocky grin, wasting no time throwing himself into the thick of it right away as he dashed off towards the thick grass nearby in to see what the local wildlife around here had to offer. Meanwhile, Eveline figured now would be a good time to test out Ouzo’s combat capabilities as she sent out the Type: Null as well, having only gotten a small taste of it during their battle back in the Aether Lab. Even then, it admittedly hadn’t been anything too impressive… And from the looks of it, the chimera’s current moveset could use an upgrade as she checked its stats using her Rotom Phone. Well, she did have those Heart Scales from the market… ”Here, Ouzo, let’s get you a bit more up to scratch shall we?” Pulling out the pair of shimmering, heart-shaped scales, she pressed them to the Type: Null’s head one by one, watching as each one lost its luster and crumbled into a fine grey ash after use.
Ouzo watched its trainer with a furtive yet curious gaze, unsure of what exactly she was doing but made no attempt to resist or complain. It felt new power and knowledge surge through its mind and body as she touched each of those odd shiny things against it, followed shortly by her tying a scarf or band around its neck just below the bottom of its mask. What odd objects those shiny pieces were, quite fragile from the looks of it as they seemed to fall apart just moments afterwards… Yet it was left feeling strangely… stronger for some reason, at the very least whatever those things were didn’t seem to have imparted any particularly bad side effects… ”There we go… Now then, why don’t we take you for a little ‘test drive’, hm?” The Type: Null hardly had time to linger on its thoughts before the woman’s voice snapped it back to attention, briefly tilting its head slightly as she gestured towards the tall grass nearby that seemed to be teeming with various Pokemon species before it clicked in its head. Ah… perhaps she wanted to test its combat prowess? Ouzo gave a low growl, not hesitating for even a moment as it padded towards the grass. It hadn’t had a proper fight since battling the woman and her Luxray back in the lab, and it couldn’t help but feel a hint of excitement at the prospect of being able to showcase its strength.
And sure enough, it hardly had to wait for a challenger to step forth as a much smaller, insectoid Pokemon jumped out from the brush with a trilling, high pitched cry, waving its antennae at the much larger chimera before it and rearing up on its hind legs to bare the sharp claws on its brown forelegs. Ouzo might’ve passed up such a small, weak-looking Pokemon, but something about this Nincada seemed to give off the impression that it was mightier than it looked… With a sharp, warbling call, the tiny bug took off with a mighty leap at the Type: Null, claws at the ready as it made to swipe at the beast. Narrowing its eyes, Ouzo snarled as the axe-like protrusion atop its masked head began to glow with a light blueish aura, rocketing into the air to meet its foe head-on in a heated clash.】✧✧

✧✧【The Nincada’s claws scraped against the durable material of Ouzo’s mask without leaving even any small marks behind, the blow only serving to annoy and anger the beast more than anything. However, leaping into close-quarters combat left it wide open for a counterstrike, which the chimeric Pokemon quickly took as it brought the axe-like protrusion down onto the tiny cicada-like Pokemon with considerable force and slammed it hard into the ground below. Ouzo huffed, seeming quite proud of its handiwork, but the Nincada was proving to be a lot more tenacious than anticipated as it felt a wave of drowsiness come over it briefly which it was quick to shake off. Of course, what little energy the bug had been able to sap from the Type: Null was hardly enough to keep it going for long as another Aerial Ace and a skillful swing of its head in sent the Nincada flying off into the grass, fainted and down for the count.
However, it seemed that was just the beginning, as Ouzo found itself being bombarded with more rowdy wild Pokemon raring for a fight. All the while, Eveline watched from close by, admiring how quickly and efficiently the Type: Null battled to try and take out enemies as fast as possible before they could get in too many hits. She grimaced as a Stufful managed to get in an especially hard hitting strike with Payback as Ouzo severely weakened it with an Aerial Ace right off the bat, but thankfully it was able to hang on and finish the little pink bear off with another precise strike. ”Very well done, Ouzo,” she praised with a grin, noting how that Type: Null’s mask doubled as a kind of shield or barrier to help block some damage from those kinds of close contact attacks. For that kind of utility, perhaps that mask had some uses that could serve as an advantage, being able to take less damage from physical hits was admittedly a pretty nice perk. ”Come back here zo I can heal you up, that Stufful got you pretty good there, non?” Tempting as it was to just continue pushing onwards, Ouzo knew better than to disobey her commands and fell back to pad closer to Eveline as she pulled a handful of potions out of her bag.
A strong, antiseptic smell filled the Type: Null’s nose as she sprayed it all over to heal what wounds it had sustained, immediately bringing back memories of its time in the Aether Labs. The place always had a very particular scent to it, a harsh, sterile, chemical smell that permeated every inch of the walls and floors... Ouzo certainly didn’t miss it… not after finally getting a taste of what the world was like outside of those bleached white walls, but if nothing else the labs at least had an odd sense of familiarity to them… Though being an artificially made Pokemon, maybe that was just how it was, having been bred and raised for a good portion of its life in that kind of environment. The outside world was certainly confusing and far more unpredictable compared to the strict control maintained in a lab setting, and at times it was admittedly quite overwhelming for a Pokemon who’d had virtually no other exposure to such things before. Even now, Ouzo was still struggling with trying to familiarize itself with the many different Pokemon, people, and environments it had been exposed to thus far. But… in spite of it all, the feeling of finally being free to explore and do as it pleased alongside its new trainer after Arceus knows how long of such limited confinement was... incredibly liberating, to say the least.
”There we go,” Eveline’s voice cut through its thoughts as she gave the chimera a gentle pat on its shoulder. Shaking off the residual liquid medicine still clinging to its fur, Ouzo gave a low growl as it felt more energized and ready to get back into it. Even just from fighting a few battles, Eveline noticed the Type: Null was already looking a fair bit stronger. At this rate, it probably wouldn’t take much longer for it to be on par with Gin at the very least in terms of strength. They probably shouldn’t spend too much time training here, of course, she wanted to try and cover as much ground as possible and hopefully get back to Motostoke to battle Kabu for the third badge by nightfall. But being able to have at least some strong Pokemon in her team to fall back on for the next couple of gyms would certainly help a lot. ”Ready for round two then, mon chéri?”】✧✧

Event(s): Ouzo was fed a Pomeg berry and gained 1 FP!
☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【Feeling refreshed and raring to go, Ouzo didn’t need to be asked twice as it threw itself back into the fray with gusto. With its improved strength, it was easily able to take down a Nuzleaf and Eldegoss that jumped out from the brush to challenge it. Though the cotton-covered Grass-type was able to get in a couple good hits on the Type: Null as thick down scattered from it upon being hit and impeded the chimera’s movement, another well placed Aerial Ace downed it for good before it could do any more damage. All the while, Gimlet was having the time of his life smacking the local wildlife around, using Iron Head indiscriminately to give anything and everything in his way a good beatdown. Every few battles they would cycle back around to Eveline for healing before getting back into it, at least it seemed like there was hardly any shortage of wild Pokemon to fight around here.
”Alright, Ouzo, I think that’ll be enough for now,” Eveline called out, beckoning for the Type: Null to fall back. He was already getting quite strong from the looks of it, but she didn’t want to get him too overleveled before they could get their next badge. The chimera growled lowly as it seemed hesitant to withdraw, disappointed that it was being cut off just as it was really starting to get into all of this battling. With a huff, the Type: Null reluctantly padded back over to Eveline, though its dejection was blunted somewhat at the sight of another one of those delicious berries as she fished it out of her bag. ”You’re doing splendidly, mon cheri~ No need to look zo down in zee doldrums,” she suggested with a warm smile, ”Maybe next time we’ll be able to get you in on an actual proper battle, non? Here…” In spite of itself, Ouzo couldn’t help but feel a warm, soft feeling rise in its chest at the praise and offering of a reward for its efforts. Of course the scientists back at the lab had done the same on the occasion it had displayed adequate behavior, likely to try and temper its aggressiveness, but somehow it felt different coming from this woman than it had from the researchers…
The Type: Null eagerly accepted the Pomeg berry as she slipped it in through the semi-adjustable jawpiece of the mask, the redhead gently stroking the axe-like protrusion jutting out from its head as it contentedly snacked on the sweetly spicy treat. ”Good boy,” she cooed with a grin, reaching towards her belt with her free hand to pull out another Pokeball. Gimlet still needed a bit more training from the looks of it, but she could certainly use that opportunity to get in more experience for other Pokemon that would need it as she sent out Zinfandel next. The Corvisquire would surely appreciate the chance to get to stretch out her wings and show off her skills some more, especially against some much tougher opponents than the ones in Viridian Forest. Upon being released, the eager raven hardly wasted any time taking to the air, hovering over the tall grass in search of an opponent to warm herself up on and homing in on a particularly beefy-looking Applin that caught her eye.】✧✧

☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【All the while, Aura watched with intrigue at how self-sufficient Eveline’s Pokemon seemed to be, casually battling against the local wildlife without really needing their trainer to command them all the time. Though she supposed it shouldn’t be that surprising, Pokemon on their own were clever and intelligent enough to handle things well enough on their own. Though she couldn’t help but feel a small pang of jealousy, that desire to want to get out there and battle herself still strong on her mind. Almost instinctively, her hand reached towards her hip, grasping for something that clearly wasn’t there but should be… But what exactly it was that was missing was what irked her the most, like she absolutely should know what it is and she should have it with her but had no idea of what or where the thing had gone. Arceus… Dealing with these gaps in her memory was growing more and more frustrating the more she kept pondering on them, that nagging feeling that there were vital bits and pieces that she couldn’t recall for the life of her for one reason or another. Is that what happens when you sleep for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years? ********…
Taking a deep breath, Aura shifted her stance a bit as she turned her focus elsewhere to banish the annoying thoughts from the forefront of her mind, and found her eyes settling on that odd-looking beast hovering around the redhead. Ouzo as Eveline had called it… him? It was certainly a strange Pokemon for certain, like some kind of patchwork Frankenstein’s monster stitched together from random bits and bobs and made into a functionally living, breathing creature. Of course artificially created Pokemon were hardly anything new, Aura recalled seeing plenty of such creatures like Golett and Golurk used both for labor and as sentries even back then. But she’d never seen anything that looked quite like this thing, and she had to wonder what exactly the intent behind some of these particular design choices like the fishy tail and insectoid legs was. No natural born Pokemon looked anything remotely like that, but it did leave a fair bit to the imagination as far as what the thought process was behind creating such a creature to begin with.
And it seemed the chimera-like Pokemon had noticed her staring as she found her gaze meeting with the beast’s harsh, steely grey eyes as it seemed to be sizing her up in return. It was hard to really gauge the Type: Null’s exact expression due to only being able to see its eyes through the mask, but it felt like a mix of both curiosity and aloofness as it stared hard at the Zacian. Judging from her scent Ouzo knew immediately that she was not human, yet something about her made it feel incredibly on edge as it was uncertain of what to make of her. Trying to come off as friendly and hopefully make a good first impression to another teammate, Aura offered a warm smile.”My my, aren’t you quite an interesting looking fellow?”she quipped lightly, lowering herself onto her knees and offering a hand towards the beast,”I’m Aura, loyal knight and a new friend of your trainer. I hope we could possibly be good friends as well?”
However, the Type: Null didn’t quite share the same sentiment as it snarled loudly in return, backing away from the Zacian’s outstretched hand as if she’d pointed a weapon at it. The chimera-like Pokemon bent down into a low crouching position, eyes narrowed and muscles tensed as it glared at the disguised wolf, preparing to pounce at her if she tried to move any closer. ”Easy, Ouzo,” Eveline called out, stepping in to quickly de-escalate the situation. Gripping onto the Type: Null’s neck with a firm hand, she squeezed down against the ruff of thick grey fur below the bottom of the mask to keep it where it stood in hopes that it wouldn’t try to lash out at the legendary. ”Heel!” she barked in a sharp, commanding voice, giving those rough yet gentle squeezes every couple of seconds as she pulled out another Pomeg berry as a distraction. Steadily but surely, Ouzo’s snarls settled into low, throaty growls as it kept its eyes locked onto the Zacian, eventually relaxing its rigid stance and sitting on its haunches as it obeyed the red-haired woman’s command.
”Good boy…” Eveline said, heaving out a sigh as she offered the berry, finally drawing the Type: Null’s attention away from Aura as it accepted the treat. The Zacian frowned dejectedly as she lowered her hand, maintaining her distance for the time being as to not accidentally provoke the chimera-like creature again.”Ah… It doesn’t seem to really like me that much,”she remarked, sounding utterly crestfallen that her initial attempt to make a new friend hadn’t gone too well. The redhead held back the urge to chuckle at the pouty look on the disguised wolf’s face, giving a small smile of reassurance instead as she stroked the axe-like protrusion on the Type: Null’s head to keep it content. ”Sorry about that, mon ami… Ouzo isn’t exactly the most fond of strangers, and it does have a bit of an aggression issue that we’re trying to work through,” she said, pulling out the chimera’s Pokeball and gently tapping it to return it for now, ”I’m sure he’ll start warming up to you soon enough, though. It’ll just take a bit of time and patience iz all, oui?”
The frown didn’t quite leave Aura’s face in spite of the encouraging words, but she nodded in agreement as some of the disappointment seemed to fade away. Lambrusco offered the Zacian a sympathetic smile, nodding towards the pair of them.”In any case, perhaps it’s time we should get going on the road again,”he suggested, gesturing towards the path ahead of them,”Hulbury is a relatively short walk away, perhaps we could stop by to grab lunch at that famous seafood restaurant after the gym battle~”Of course, they’d probably spent more than enough time here standing around the same patch of grass, and there would definitely be plenty of other wild Pokemon to battle along the way to town. Absently lobbing a Pokeball at a tough-looking Applin as Zinfandel knocked it out, Eveline cursed mentally as it broke out of the first ball but managed to catch it successfully on the second try. She had no plans on using such a Pokemon herself, but since it seemed to be a bit of a rare find around here perhaps she could trade it off for something more worthwhile in return. Hell, Zane would probably really like a Pokemon like this, she’d consider possibly giving it to him as a gift. ”Of course, a gym battle and a nice seafood lunch sounds vraiment magnifique~” she chipped in with a grin, gently nudging the Zacian with a smirk and beckoning for Gimlet and Zinfandel to come along, ”Wouldn’t you agree, mon ami?”
Casting aside the tenseness of what had happened minutes before, Aura wholeheartedly nodded in agreement with a bright grin.”Ah, y-yes! Of course! That would be lovely!”The mention of more food was already making the Zacian’s mouth start to water, had it really been that long ago that they’d eaten breakfast? Time certainly seemed to fly by with all of the traveling and training they’d been doing so far, and they’d only been to one gym! Well they certainly wouldn’t be getting anywhere fast just standing around, Aura wasting no time leading the charge as the small party started up a brisk hustle towards town.】✧✧

✧✧【Thankfully, unlike the trek from Motostoke to Turffield, the road to Hulbury seemed relatively straightforward without any winding paths or obstacles in the way. Aura paused briefly as they passed by a conspicuous lone building that looked a lot like a house, but the sign above it clearly read out ‘Nursery’ sat above the entrance with what seemed to be a stylized logo of Pokeballs shaped like eggs. It didn’t look like the same building she’d caught sight of on the road to Turffield… though she wondered what exactly the purpose of such a place out here in the wilderness was. ”Iz a Pokemon nursery, sort of like a daycare but trainers leave their Pokemon here to, az they say, ‘make babies’,” Eveline explained, chuckling a bit at the way the Zacian seemed to cringe slightly at that last bit, ”Used to be that trainers will deposit Pokemon at places like these zo they could be raised and grow stronger without needing to battle. Nowadays, they’re often used exclusively for breeding purposes.”
The wolf hummed and nodded thoughtfully, wondering if there were still such places like those that still raised Pokemon out there… Was there such a place elsewhere in Galar, even? Regardless, they had no business to do here as Eveline ushered Aura and the others along across the nearby bridge leading towards the town. The Zacian’s eyes widened as she peered out over the vast expanse of the Wild Area that was visible from where they stood, swaths of what appeared to be bare land dotted with dead-looking, leafless trees and unusual rock formations, sparse patches of green grass and even a small pond to the northeast with a singular large pointed rock jutting out over it. And there, nestled in the center of it all to the furthest north, the large, wing-like protrusions jutting out from Hammerlocke City were unmistakable even from this distance.
As Aura marveled over the sight, Eveline found herself briefly pausing to give the distant dragon city a brief glance. They’d get there soon enough, each step and each badge they’d collected was a step closer towards her ultimate goal, what they’d come to Galar for in the first place. She wasn’t sure what she might find there after all was said and done, or if she’d even want to know what could possibly be hiding in that house her father had left her the key for… But for the sake of her own morbid curiosity and that burning need to not let this mystery go unsolved any longer, she’d have to steel herself to face whatever would be waiting for her head-on. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst case scenario. ”Come along now, plenty more time for sight-seeing later,” she called out to Aura as she beckoned the wolf to move on, they had places to be and battles to fight.】✧✧

☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【Sure enough, it hardly took long for the giant, brick archway separating Route 5 from Hulbury came into sight, the air filled with the familiar click-clacks of a passing train running along the tracks as they passed underneath it. While Turffield had been a series of numerous branching paths that twisted and wound their way towards the stadium in the center, Hulbury seemed to be divvied up into a pair of forked roads leading into different areas of town. The path leading straight up ahead wound its way past a large market area rife with numerous shops pitching local wares and Hulbury’s renowned seafood restaurant, The Captain’s Table, before tapering off into a large cavernous opening in the distance. The other fork stretched off towards the gym stadium in the distance, nestled within a stone’s throw distance from both the Hulbury lighthouse and the docks. A light, cool breeze ruffled Eveline’s hair, bringing with it the smell of sea salt mixed with the various aromas of herbs and incenses from the nearby shop stalls.
It was a very quaint little seaside town, definitely a lot more bustling and noisy compared to Wedgehurst but calming nonetheless. In fact, she actually liked it a lot more here, it reminded her a lot of the annual summer trips she and her mom used to take out to Coumarine City. She always loved going there, and she always looked forward to going on those trips every years when summer rolled around. Lazy days in the sun on the beaches, riding Skiddo at the Baa de Mer Ranch just outside the city, venturing out on little trips in the bay in Lyam’s sailboat… Arceus… She hadn’t spoken to their old family friend or his folks since mom’s passing, the last time had been when she’d broken the news of her death to him… Was he even still alive? Four years was… definitely a long time to go without actively staying in touch, Arceus knows how much could change even in such a short span of time.
”E-Er… Lucia?”a tap on her shoulder jerked her back to the present, her bright green eyes meeting with those of Aura’s as the wolf leaned over in front of her with a look of half confusion half concern on her face,”Are you, erm… feeling well?”Ah, she’d done it again. ”Yes, yes, pardon, I must’ve spaced out for a moment there,” Eveline muttered, gently pushing the wolf away and offering a small smile, ”Let’s get down to business then, shall we?” Stopping by the Pokecenter before hitting the gym was hardly a terrible idea, at least to make sure everyone was in tip-top shape first and foremost and maybe do a bit of shopping for a bit of extra prep.
Returning Zinfandel for now since she wouldn’t be necessary for the upcoming gym, Eveline gave her Pokemon a quick heal to top off their health courtesy of Nurse Joy before hitting up the nearby Pokemart for any useful wares. It was certainly convenient that the Pokemon Center and the Pokemarts around here were combined into a singular building much like in Kalos and Alola, it was a wonder these weren’t standard issue for all regions really. Aside from the regular potions, Pokeballs, repels, and healing items for specific status ailments, Eveline was pleasantly surprised to see they had a small selection of those technical records on sale too. The choices were rather limited, but she noted a few particular ones with green-colored centers on one of the racks… Assuming the different colors corresponded to each of the different types, a Grass-type move would definitely be useful for the upcoming gym battle for sure. And she knew just who could use it. ”Here, Gim, I think you’d get a good kick out of this,” she said with a grin, pressing the disk to the Perrserker’s head and watching as the green colored center dulled to a dark grey before the whole thing shattered to pieces. Perfect, now they were ready to have a proper go at the Hulbury gym challenge.】✧✧

☆═━┈✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧┈━═☆
✧✧【Taking a moment to rearrange her Pokemon and sending out Gin so he’d be at the ready, Eveline led the way to the Hulbury stadium with her small entourage at her side. ”Alright, Gin, you’ll be our main lead going into this. You know what to do, oui?” she spoke up, gently ruffling the Luxray’s thick mane as he strode purposefully beside her. The electric cat’s golden gaze met hers, glinting brightly with determination as his fur crackled and sparked with an eager energy. The Flame Orb hanging around his neck seemed to glow just a touch brighter too, almost as if reflecting its wearer’s confidence. ”Heh, of course,” Eveline grinned, scratching the big cat’s rounded ears, ”This sort of strategy will be a bit risky, zo we’ll need to strike az hard and fast az possible before they can do a lot of damage back. Gimlet, you’ll be on standby az backup in case things start going south, alright?”
As much as he wanted to be the one up front for a challenging battle like this, Gimlet knew that Gin was much better suited to the job and had more of a natural advantage against Nessa’s Water types than him. That and after doing so much battling earlier, the Perrserker hardly minded being put on the bench for now until he might be needed.”Aye aye, boss!”he grinned, giving a salute with his sharp, dagger-like claws extended. Perhaps some other time he might actually get his own spotlight in one of these gym battles, preferably sometime soon if possible.
Upon reaching the stadium, there were already small crowds of spectators crowding into the main lobby area, clamoring about the new challengers and making bets on the upcoming gym battles against Nessa. Off to the side of the main walkway, a man wearing some kind of cartoonish Pokeball costume with a huge goofy-looking smile on the face was dancing and singing while handing out Lure Balls to interested trainers passing by.”Seems these gyms attract some very… interesting people,”Aura remarked, a bewildered look on her face as she watched the mascot’s antics.
”You can say that again,” Eveline snorted, not paying any mind to ‘Ball Guy’ in the meantime as they walked onwards. A little girl among the numerous people gathered squealed when she spotted the redhead, bouncing excitedly on her heels as she tugged on her mother’s shirt to get her attention and pointed towards her with a bright little grin on her face. Chuckling softly, Eveline gave a warm smile and a wave back to the child.
”Already becoming famous, I see~”The redhead directed a sharp but playful glare at the Zacian when the wolf teasingly nudged her. Well, she supposed she should’ve figured as much since it seemed with the gym challenge in Galar being a region-wide televised event, sometimes challengers tended to amass a bit of a following among the spectators. ”Well, I suppose it’s only natural to have a few fans here and there, yes?” she suggested lightly, though on the inside she couldn’t help but grimace.
Garnering so much attention was exactly the opposite of what she wanted, but she supposed she should’ve expected as much when she’d chosen to take on the gym challenge in Galar of all places. A small handful of followers was at least not too problematic in the long run, but that’d be about where she drew the line. She wouldn’t be caught dead parading around the region having hundreds of people fawn over her and her Pokemon everywhere she went, much less wearing anything like that absolutely ridiculous cape that Leon seemed to insist on taking with him everywhere he went.
The girl at the gate leading into the stadium smiled and waved to them as they approached, and upon seeing what kind of outfit she was wearing Aura immediately averted her gaze elsewhere as her face flushed a deep red.”Arceus… What is with all of these extremely revealing outfits?”she murmured, shaking her head as she directed her attention to anywhere else in the room,”Please don’t tell me everyone is going to be dressed like that here…”
”Well, seeing as this is a Water gym, I think that’s actually just the gym uniform they use here,” Eveline suggested, cracking a grin at the Zacian’s deepening blush as she hid her face in her hands with a choked’Oh sweet Arceus…’Given how prudish the wolf seemed to be, she’d probably have fainted right then and there if they’d been wearing nothing but swimsuits. Now that would be something for sure, heh. Giving the Zacian a gentle pat on the shoulder, Eveline quickly slipped off into the changing rooms to don her uniform as was customary.
Dragging Aura along by the hand as they entered the stadium, the Zacian kept her eyes covered lest she subject herself to more barely clad women until they reached the end of the tunnel. The redhead signaled Gin and Gimlet to come along, the two cats sticking close by as they entered the arena with Eveline while Lam hung back with the disguised wolf to watch. The familiar roar of the crowds in the stands filled the woman's ears as she stepped out onto the stadium green, or blue, rather, as it seemed the floor of the gym was covered in smooth blue colored tiles of varying light and dark hues instead of grass turf. A bit odd, but she supposed it was fitting for a Water-type gym. Across the way from them strode in a tall, dark-skinned, athletically built woman with long, black and blue hair and piercing bright blue eyes, dressed in a multi-colored halter top and matching short shorts bearing a stylized blue droplet logo. Nessa’s blue eyes narrowed slightly upon meeting Eveline’s as they now stood only feet away from each other, but otherwise her face stayed calm, blank, neutral as she stared the other woman down.
”Lucia Cross, right? Not too often that we get non-Galarian challengers coming through,”the leader asked with a tilt of her head, clearly not expecting an answer as she pushed on anyways,”I happened to watch your battle against Milo earlier. Can’t say I was too surprised to see him go down so easily given how soft he tends to be on new challengers, but it’s clear you show a lot of promise with your strength and your Pokemon’s as well.”Eveline simply shrugged, not like she had really expected to be challenged anyways on just the first gym since she’d been pretty well prepared even before arriving in Turffield. She cracked a confident grin and threw a coy wink Nessa’s way, nestling a hand into Gin’s smooth black fur as the Luxray’s golden eyes carefully sized up their competition. ”Well, there’s nothing lots of careful preparation can accomplish, though I certainly hope you’ll put up a bit more of a fight, darling~”
The dark-haired woman’s stone-faced façade gave way to a smirk, stepping back as she pulled out her first Pokeball.”That’s some pretty big talk for a new challenger, but we’ll see how far that gets you when you’re left washed up on the rocks. Go, Goldeen!”With an impressive high kick for a bit of style, Nessa hurled the Pokeball onto the field and unleashed her first Pokemon as the white and orange fish burst forth. ”You’re up, Gin,” Eveline nodded towards her Luxray, who strode to take his position across from his opponent with poise and purpose, golden eyes sharply narrowed as he glared at the much smaller and wholly unintimidating Goldeen. Of course, he knew better than to underestimate their opponent, knowing that Nessa still had her strongest Pokemon waiting in the back. Rather than be shaken by the cat’s glower, however, the little fish in front of him returned his dagger-like stare in full force as it puffed itself up in preparation to strike. Teeth bared as sparks flashed across his fur, Gin snarled as he lunged forward, taking up his opponent’s challenge and intending to make this first strike one that his foe wouldn’t soon forget.】✧✧

✧✧【Eveline had expected a pretty decent challenge from Nessa, of course, but she hadn’t expected the Water-type leader’s first two Pokemon to give her so much trouble right away. Gin had managed to get off a paralysis on the Goldeen after hitting it with a strong Spark, which was hardly a bad start. To their misfortune, however, the fish hardly seemed bothered by its ailment as it pushed past the paralysis and enhanced its speed before trapping the Luxray onto the field with a Whirlpool. s**t… They were already on a timer after the Flame Orb activated, bolstering Gin’s physical strength at the cost of sapping a bit of his health, but between the residual damage from burn on top of that from the trapping move would wear him down that much quicker. And even worse, until the Whirlpool ran its course there was no way to switch him out, and they had nothing to combat against such attacks so she could get him out of there.
Taking a deep breath, Eveline chose to just bite the bullet as Gin knocked out Nessa’s Goldeen and even managed to get in a strong Guts-boosted hit on Arrokuda. If anything, hopefully the Luxray would be able to down at least two of the leader’s Pokemon and get in some decent damage on the third before he eventually succumbed to his conditions. Unfortunately luck wasn’t on their side as Arrokuda got in a lucky Bite that completely threw off Gin’s momentum, allowing it to get in another hit as the burn from the Flame Orb and the damage from the Whirlpool came back to bite them hard. Gimlet’s eyes widened in shock as the Luxray fell on the battlefield, it seemed like he should’ve been able to hold his own for the majority of the battle but… To see Gin faint so soon was hardly what he’d expected to happen, as such it seemed like it would have to fall to him to finish the battle now.
The Perrserker turned to look up at the redhead for confirmation, grimacing as he saw the dark, frustrated expression on her face. ”Go, Gimlet,” she grit out between her teeth, clearly trying to keep herself composed as she recalled the fainted Luxray to his ball. Gimlet hardly needed to be told twice as he bared his teeth in a fierce snarl, extending his dagger-like claws and charging forth onto the field to meet his foe head-on and avenge his fallen comrade. Alright, time to get serious… as much as he liked goofing around during a heated battle to taunt his opponents and draw out the fight, this wasn’t the time for fun and games. The Arrokuda immediately zeroed in on him, zipping towards the Perrserker like a loosed crossbow bolt and clamping onto his arm with its sharp little teeth. Refusing to let himself be shaken by the strike, Gimlet snarled as he shook the fish off and slammed it right in the face with a barrage of hard-shelled seeds, taking it out of commission as it was sent flying back and away past Nessa.
Of course the Drednaw would be the ace-in-the-hole and Nessa’s chosen Pokemon to Dynamax like Eldegoss had been for Milo, but for some reason Dynamaxing seemed to affect this Pokemon differently as its form underwent a radical change as it grew to titanic size. The enormous turtle now stood on its hind legs, the spikes on its tail and legs growing longer and more pronounced, and its thick shell grew to cover its head, making it look like a gigantic tank. Eveline had to briefly wonder why Dynamaxing seemed to affect certain Pokemon differently than others, and how such a phenomenon was even possible… But they had a battle to finish, as she activated her own band and watched as Gimlet grew to colossal proportions to match their opponent, but even with the increased size the Drednaw seemed to dwarf him on sheer height alone. Narrowing its red eyes, the tank-like turtle unleashed a blast of water at Gimlet, Eveline raising a hand to shield her face as the attack splashed around the field and even left behind sharp, pointed rocks floating about around her and the Perrserker.
Not that it really mattered much, however, as Gimlet retaliated with a hail of huge seeds that crashed into the Drednaw and easily knocked it out in a single strike. Eveline heaved out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding as the defeated Pokemon toppled to the ground with an explosive burst, shrinking back down to size as Nessa recalled it back to its ball. The Perrserker gave a loud, booming roar of victory that resounded throughout the stadium before he shrank back to his normal size as well, the cheering of the crowds reaching a fever pitch as the battle was concluded. ”Excellently done, Gimlet,” the redhead praised, giving the proud cat a pleased pat on his hard, helmeted head before walking out to meet Nessa in the middle. The dark-haired woman gave Eveline a once over look before cracking a grin, holding a hand out towards her challenger to present the badge and prizes.”Good to see I hadn’t misjudged you, looks like we ended up getting caught in the flood instead. Hope that was enough of a good fight as you wanted,”she remarked with a chuckle,”But anyways, the Water badge is all yours! And you can count on me to keep a close eye on all of your matches from here on.”
Accepting the badge, the HM for Surf, and a TM for Brick Break, Eveline gave the athletic woman a hearty handshake, still a bit sour that their strategy hadn’t exactly worked out as well as she’d hoped but pleased with how the fight had turned out. ”Heh, well I certainly hope we’ll put on a good show for you~ We’ve got plenty more tricks in store, rest assured,” she returned casually with a grin and a playful wink, turning to exit the field and retrieve Aura and Lambrusco who were waiting in the wings for them.
”Goodness… That fight certainly had me more on edge than the last one,”Aura said, waving to Eveline as she approached,”I was worried for a bit there, but it seems like you had everything well under control!”The redhead nodded in agreement, of course in hindsight she knew the strategy they’d plan to lead off with initially would definitely be a risky one. Still, she hadn’t expected for bad luck and some rather smart retaliation tactics from their enemies to dismantle it so quickly, poor Gin… ”Of course~ And it was a bit of a learning experience az well, we’ll certainly have to be more careful with what strats we plan to use going into battles like these…” Eveline frowned and shook her head, at the very least it had worked well enough right off the bat as she’d hoped, ”In any case, there’s still that seafood lunch to celebrate our victory~ We’ll just have to make a quick stop at zee Pokecenter on ze way.” Good thing the Pokemon Center and The Captain’s Table were literally just across the street from each other, how coincidentally convenient!】✧✧

✧✧【A quick change into her casual clothes and a brief trip to the Pokemon Center later, Eveline and her Pokemon hardly wasted any time as they made their way across the street to Hulbury’s famous seafood restaurant. Upon pushing open the door, the rich smells of sea breeze and spices welcomed them with a bouquet of savory aromas that whet the appetite.”Ah… It all smells so good…”Aura sighed, her stomach already rumbling impatiently for more food. Lambrusco hummed as he took in the atmosphere, admiring the themed décor like the boat-shaped front desk and the seashell chairs, and the cool blue hues that really made it feel like being close to the sea.
”This place is one of the Chairman’s favorite spots to eat. And I’m sure you can see why,”the Delphox offered with a foxish grin, nodding towards the front desk where a sharply-dressed server was waiting patiently for them. ”He certainly has pretty good taste, even though we hardly know him,” the redhead remarked, quite surprised by the cozy yet swanky feel of the place as she approached the woman and requested a table.”Certainly, m’am. Would you like one by the window? It offers an excellent view of the stadium, lighthouse, and harbor,”she inquired, grabbing three menus and handing them over to another one of those butler-like Pokemon they’d been seeing around at the Pokemon Centers. Apparently they were quite popular around Galar, Eveline briefly pondered possibly acquiring one for herself sometime since it never hurt to have an extra pair of helping hands.
”I don’t see why not,” she answered easily. She had every intention of enjoying and indulging herself here, having a nice view to look at while eating good food was just a nice added bonus. The woman smiled and nodded, seeming to approve of her choice, and nodded towards the Indeedee standing off to the side with the menus. The little butler Pokemon gazed up towards Eveline and her Pokemon, its expression neutral and betraying nothing, before gesturing with a thin arm for them to follow. The Indeedee led them over to one of the blue-topped tables, dishes and silverware already set up and ready as Eveline, Lam, and Aura took their seats while Gimlet and Gin took the floor. After setting them up with their menus, the little purple and white-furred butler gave a graceful little bow.”Please take as much time as you need to peruse our menu, sirs and madams. I’ll return shortly to take your orders.”
Eveline flinched a bit at the strange male voice that suddenly spoke to her within her mind, instinctively reaching a hand up to rub at her temples. Arceus, these little creatures were Psychic too? Well, so much for wanting to get one for herself, she’d rather not have to deal with more voices talking to her in her mind or another Pokemon that could easily read her thoughts. Psychic-types could be nosy little weasels when they wanted to, and the idea of something capable could delve into the deepest reaches of her mind to uncover all sorts of private information about her just made her incredibly uneasy. Lambrusco was the only Psychic she trusted implicitly with anything like that, the Delphox having been with her all her life and someone she knew wouldn’t go around spilling all of her secrets to anyone within earshot. Still, she’d just try to suck it up and endure for the time being, though she’d definitely have to exercise more caution around that little waiter…
After a bit of deliberation and a couple more visits from the Indeedee who was bussing their table, including strongly discouraging Aura from wanting to try everything on the menu when she was having trouble with making up her mind, they soon got themselves settled and tucked into their meals when they arrived. Eveline ordered a blue lagoon cocktail from the bar to go with her lemon dill grilled salmon, setting down a big dish of seared tuna onto the floor for Gin and Gimlet to share among themselves. Lambrusco chose to try their special of the day, shrimp paella, and Aura, after taking at least forever to finally decide on what she wanted, settled for a stew of mixed seafood in a tomato-based broth so she could have a bit of everything.
”Mmmm… Oh wow, this is truly the best thing I’ve had so far!”Aura admonished as she took her first big, heaping spoonful of stew, eyes bright with wonder and awe as she savored the flavors of the fresh seafood with the rich tomato broth and copious spices. Personally she preferred something much heavier and meatier, like a thick, juicy steak, but she could certainly appreciate the delicious craftsmanship of a well prepared fish dish.
Lambrusco chuckled, watching the Zacian from his periphery as he ate delicate bites of rice, shrimp, and veggies with an amused grin. Still, he had to agree with that sentiment, his face alight with a quiet appreciation for just how good the food was.”Well, Hulbury is well renowned around these parts for their fresh seafood. I’d be quite concerned if it was less than adequate~”Turning his attention towards Eveline, he quirked an eyebrow curiously as she met his gaze. He could tell she had a lot on her mind, and while it didn't exactly show on her face he could see it in her eyes even as she happily enjoyed her tasty salmon dish.”So, where to from here, Eve?”he asked, making a bit of small talk to pass the time while they ate and to encourage Eveline to talk to him about what was on her mind.
He already had an idea of what the answer was since Motostoke and the gym stadium there was clearly their next destination, but he wanted to gauge her thoughts a bit more outside of that. She always had quite a bit to think about, though he was cautious to not constantly read too much into what was on her mind. He had to wonder how far ahead she had planned when they’d initially made their decision to set out for Galar, if she might have at least an inkling of an idea of what might come after they made it to Hammerlocke and sifted through whatever it was that Samuel had left behind.
Regardless, he had a feeling that they likely wouldn’t be staying in Galar long-term no matter what… not that Eveline really had much of a reason for sticking around anyways apart from her friends and her father. Sometimes it was hard to remember that they were still fugitives on the run, and while they luckily had been able to avoid running into serious trouble for the most part, well… Needless to say, Lam couldn’t help that creeping fear wiggling its way into his heart that they could only keep running for so long, and that at some point it just might not be an option anymore…】✧✧

✧✧【Eveline hummed thoughtfully around a mouthful of herbed fish at Lambrusco’s question, her eyes briefly sliding to the side to see where that little waiter was right now. The Indeedee seemed to be preoccupied with a couple other patrons a few tables away from them, though even with him not being too close by she’d rather not worry about him possibly listening in via telepathy. Arceus knows what those tricky Psychic types could be doing when you’d least suspect it… The Delphox, keen as ever, offered an assuring grin in return.”Not to worry, I’ve set up a temporary barrier so whatever is shared between us won’t be overheard by prying ears or minds.”With this being a more professional setting rather than just being out in public, Lambrusco doubted the other Psychics in the area had any reason to snoop around in the minds of their customers. Still, for the sake of making sure Eveline was more at ease, an extra layer of security would hardly hurt. Better to be safe than sorry, as they’d say.
”Merci, mon cher ami,” she acknowledged with a short nod, picking up another forkful of the yellow rice pilaf that had come with her fish, ”Aside from our business in Hammerlocke when we get there, I don’t know for certain where we might go from there. I suppose it depends on whatever it is that we find in there, but regardless I doubt we’ll be staying around in Galar for very long regardless.” As nice as this place was, she hadn’t exactly planned on settling down here as far as the whole gym challenge deal was concerned. She didn’t have much interest in the idea of becoming Champion anyways, and chances are their search for her father or whatever clues he may have left behind prior to his disappearance would likely mean having to travel around quite a bit. Not that she minded, of course, considering that they’d spent the better part of the last four years or so hopping between regions and laying low… Still, at least here in Galar she felt a lot safer than she did anywhere else, perhaps they’d come back here in intermittent periods to either take on more gyms or to hide out for a bit. It didn’t seem like this region really had much trouble with criminals as she’d yet to hear anything about any particularly troublesome crimes, apart from a particularly rowdy group that seemed to pop up in odd places from time to time to harass gym challengers passing through. But much like Team Skull in Alola they only seemed to be a bunch of hooligans who did little more than being nuisances every so often. Perhaps they could set up a little safe house somewhere so they’d have a place to come back to in case they ran into big trouble elsewhere, as long as their presence wasn’t completely compromised they could reasonably stay in Galar in case things went south until things died down enough that they wouldn’t be in any immediate danger.
Lambrusco seemed to catch on to what she was thinking of, the Delphox giving a knowing grin as he sipped on his warm tea.”We do technically have the keys for a house in Hammerlocke, yes? I suppose if we want to establish a kind of ‘safe haven’ out here, it would be a decent enough start.”She had to admit the old fox had a point, though she wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about using a place that her father used to live in for her own devices… But it was better than nothing, she supposed. Alternatively she could always ask to stay with Zane and Zenzi at their home, but that ran the risk of them possibly being compromised as well if she was to ever be found out or possibly tailed back to Galar. And she’d be damned if she’d let Void or any other crime organization out there get their claws on her friends if it could be helped... ”Right… In any case, we’ll just focus on getting to Hammerlocke for now. Whatever happens after we find what’s in that house, we’ll deal with as it comes.” There was no way to know for certain where they’d have to go from there, but the very least they could do was try to be as prepared as possible for whatever might come their way in the meantime.
Finishing up their meals, Aura hummed contentedly as she gulped down the last few sips of seafood infused broth and set the bowl back down.”That was absolutely delicious~ I suppose I would not mind coming back again sometime whenever we might find ourselves in town,”she suggested brightly, looking curiously between Eve and Lam,”So we’re heading back to… Motostoke City from here, yes? Howabouts will we get there then?”The Delphox raised a hand to signal the waiter for their bill, tilting his head with a thoughtful look on his face at the Zacian’s question.”Well typically the main way would be to go through Galar Mine 2 which loops back around to the city outskirts, but…”he nodded towards their trainer knowingly,”I believe there’s actually a train route that runs to the city from here. In fact, we could reasonably go out to Hammerlocke via train without taking the long way through the Wild Area from Hulbury as well.”
Ah, well of course taking the train would be much easier than having to walk all the way back around to Motostoke through the mine. They would miss out on possibly being able to train against some stronger wild Pokemon on the way, but she supposed there would still be plenty of trainers in the city to battle against if they needed more experience to take on the gym. ”I don’t think we’ll need to catch a train to Hammerlocke since we could easily fly there anyways after we beat the gym in Motostoke,” she suggested, nodding to the Indeedee waiter as he put down the check in front of her, ”For now, though, we’ll worry about actually preparing for the gym when we get there.” She returned Gin and Gimlet to their balls to rest for now after she paid the bill, leaving a decently generous tip as well which seemed to satisfy the little purple-furred server.”Your patronage is much appreciated, madam,”the Indeedee remarked with a fanciful little bow, handing her a small bunch of what were likely complimentary after-meal mints as these restaurants tended to do before trotting off to attend to other patrons.
”Let’s go then, yes? With our luck we’ll be able to catch the next train on its way out to Motostoke when we get to the station,” Eveline suggested, moving to tuck the mints into her coat pocket to save for later. However, she paused briefly when she noticed that the ‘mints’ in particular actually seemed to be a bunch of Rare Candies… Rather odd for a restaurant of all places to give these things away so freely, unless maybe the waiter happened to hand them to her by mistake? Well she wasn’t going to question free items, much less ones that were actually super useful. As they were leaving the restaurant, however, she happened to catch the eye of the little Indeedee waiter from across the way. And maybe she might’ve imagined it, but she could’ve sworn he had given the briefest knowing wink her way before he turned away once more to go attend to other customers.】✧✧
