Dante felt suddenly besieged. The two trainers he'd come out to the route with were both asking him questions, and on top of that he still had Mewtwo to deal with. I guess this is why I'm getting paid a lot to be a Gym Leader, he thought with a half-smile. No one else would voluntarily take this job.
"He's not really MY Pokemon, per se," Dante explained to Belle. "We met a while back and I helped get him out of a sticky situation - well, it was mostly my fault to begin with, but that's a story for another day." He hesitated for a second, attempting to find the right words to say to the girl. "Look, do you have any outdoor clothing or camping equipment?" he finally asked. "It's a long hard road from here to the next town and you need to be prepared. You look like you're walking around a mall, not traveling the region." He felt a little bad for telling the girl off, but Mewtwo was right on both accounts - without proper preparation, the girl would meet disaster along the road and Dante could be held liable.
Before the new trainer had a chance to respond though, the little boy from earlier was back, this time with a brand-new Pokeball and hollering about advice to train a Spearow. "You have to train it," Dante said patiently. "That Spearow's not going to listen to you right off the bat. You're going to have to spend time teaching it to listen to what you have to say and eventually it'll be following you like there's no problem at all. Or," he said, hesitating a little, "you could go get a Gym Badge. The more you have, the more likely Pokemon are to listen to you. I wouldn't recommend it right now, but maybe when you've caught a few more Pokemon you can take on the Blyse City Gym."

"Poop." Alex was hoping for something easier then that. Something that wouldn't give the bird a chance to attack him again. He had passed by the gym on his way to the lab but he couldn't remember what type of gym it was. That meant that he should probably use up the rest of his pokeballs before he tried to take it on to be on the safe side with numbers and what not. "Ok, I'm gonna go that way and try and have it fight something other then me," he said before he ran away and waved back at the two.

Belle grinned and waved back at Alex as he approached, requesting advice on a Spearow. She turned back to Dante when he spoke to her again, listening to his explanation curiously. "Ah. So it just follows you around?" That was odd. She'd never heard of that before. Why did he not just catch it? What a confusing guy~ He was so strange. His question to her, though, confused her. "Er . . . outdoor and camping equipment? You mean like sunscreen? I'm pretty sure that I can just get that at the mall here. Besides, I'm meant to look like I'm walking around a mall. I mean, what else would you want to look like? Like you're doing manual labour?" She wrinkled her nose. "Don't be silly, Dante~"
Celisse's head turned with interest at Dante's mention of the Blyse Gym. She wriggled out of Belle's arms, landing heavily on the patchy grass. She growled in what Belle supposed was meant to be a menacing manner, tail flaring. "N'aww, you wanna fight at the Gym?" she asked her, to which the Pokemon made an affirmative noise. "Okay. Weeeelp, we still need to train, right? I'm sure that Blyse's Gym Leader likes Flying type Pokemon, so Lucius should be helpful." At this, the Charmander growled, irritated. "Oh, hush. You know we've got to train him, too. Don't be a grumpy-pants about it." When Alex ran off, she half-raised in a hand in farewell, slightly confused about why he was leaving. How odd.

If he could have facepalmed without making the girl feel bad, Dante certainly would have. Does she know nothing about being a Pokemon trainer? he thought to himself in exasperation. "Sunscreen IS important, yes, but you need more equipment than that. A tent's probably a good idea, as are cooking materials, fire starters, a sleeping bag and mat, and food. You're going to be outside for long periods of time, in the wilderness, without any companions save your Pokemon. The mall's going to be a long ways away." He gave her a pitying look. "I can get you what you need, if you're unsure of where to buy that equipment, but you NEED that stuff."

Belle stared blankly at Dante. "I . . . what?" She was bewildered. A tent? Stuff for cooking and fires? Sleeping equipment and food? Out in the wilderness for long periods of time? Whaaat? She didn't sign up for this! What happened to the posters of kids cheerfully frolicking alongside cute-looking Pokemon? That was what she after, not something where she'd have to actually get her hands dirty. Her! A Rutherford! Her friends back home would have her head if they even thought she was doing this. Oh, the horror! Looking down at Celisse, though, she knew she didn't have much of a choice. She'd made the decision to leave home, she'd made the decision to go through with her plan. There wasn't really anyone else to blame . . . except maybe the people who make those posters. Yeah, she'd see about getting them fired.
Struggling with her realisation, she sighed and hung her head. She was going to be so screwed in the following weeks. Somewhat reluctantly, she said to Dante, "Very well. Which store do I get all this at?" She kept in the part where she couldn't believe that they didn't have chefs for hire to take around with trainers. She wasn't particularly sure, but she'd heard old rumours in Iclea Town that some people didn't actually have chefs, maids, butlers, servants or cleaners. It was concerning, to say the least, and she deeply pitied anyone who had this terrible thing befall them.

"Just follow me," Dante said, relieved that the girl seemed to understand. "You can pick up most of this from a PokeMart, since they cater specifically to trainers. We'll need to visit a supermarket as well to get you some food supplies, but you should be ready to head off to the next town in about an hour. This way," he said, taking a few steps in the the indicated direction. Mewtwo, I'll be busy for a little while helping the girl, Dante thought, still hoping that the psycat was monitoring his mental processes. Keep low until I come back. He didn't doubt that the cat would, but it always paid to be cautious.

Belle nodded motioning for Celisse to come with them. She did so, and her mistress fell into step with Dante. "Okaaay. But don't I need to challenge the Blyse Gym first? I know I definitely need to get stronger, but I don't want to leave and have to come back, you know? And how am I meant to carry all this stuff? I mean, if I wanna train, where am I gonna put all my stuff? On the ground? That's highly unhygienic." She shook her head. Was this how all the common folk were? Dirty? It was disgraceful, really. Besides, she'd never actually been inside a supermarket - she knew malls inside out, but supermarkets? No. That was for the servants to use. Oh, the things she was lowering herself to . . .

'Thoughts' "Telepathy" "Vocalized Speech" Post # 6
Level: 50 Moves: Atk: TM30 Shadow Ball/Atk: Psycho Cut/Atk: Barrier/Atk: Disable Trainer: None ***** The cat gave Dante a semi-affirmative response. He wasn't going to sit around doing nothing while Dante and the newbie shopped. The girl was probably going to be very particular about what she wore no matter what the Gym Leader's advice and experience said. "Good luck with her Dante," Mewtwo chuckled, grass flattening with invisible hands into a bed. He allowed his feline nature to take control and as soon as he was settled was napping comfortably albeit lightly. No sane Pokemon on this route would dare attack him if they didn't want to find out what the horizon looked like up close. It was close to noon when Dante's familiar brain pattern reappeared on his mental radar with the city girl in tow. The cat had been right, the girl had been picky about what she needed verses what she wanted. Lazily stretching Mewtwo stood and made his way to the route proper where he met the Gym Leader and newbie a little further from the city (and therefore other Trainers) than when the day had started. He rolled his eyes at the look Dante gave him. There was no sense in hiding from someone that knew what he looked like when he was being asked not to erase her memory. "Had fun," he asked with a smart-aleck smile. ***** OOC: IDK if y'all wanted a big long shopping spree but I didn't so time skip awaaaaaaaay.

Belle, rather pleased with her purchases, moved carefully onto the Route, making sure that she didn't step in any undesired patches of grass. She was following Dante, who was laden down with the majority of her bags. Celisse tailed after the two, darting into the occasional grass patch, despite the irritated looks from her trainer. She'd been staring at her feet, dodging the grass when she heard something echoing in her head. Her bags tumbled out of her hands and her head shot up, landing on the Pokemon from before. She'd heard Psychics talk to her telepathically before, but this was very unexpected . . . the Pokemon sirma'amthing was a Psychic! Yaaay~ Hesheit would be able to understand her!
She promptly flew forwards himherit, wrapping her arms around hisherits torso in a death-grip, making an excited squealing noise as she did so. "You can understaaaand meeee~ Thank you for saving meeeee~ Oh, you're so warm, your fur's so soft!" Belle giggled, before pretty much burying her face in hisherits chest, relishing in the feel of it. "Mmm~"

'Thoughts' "Telepathy" "Vocalized Speech" Post # 7
Level: 50 Moves: Atk: TM30 Shadow Ball/Atk: Psycho Cut/Atk: Barrier/Atk: Disable Trainer: None ***** Mewtwo oomph-ed as the girl collided with his midsection and then all he could do was stand with his arms lifted away and back from his sides as she gushed about how he'd saved her, said he was warm, had soft fur, and rubbed her head into his chest. He couldn't just shove her away out of fear of hurting her as unused to physical contact as he was. The pleased, happy sounds she was making had him shooting glances at the top of her head and straight at Dante with a face that merged "This is awkward" and "Help strange child is attached to me like a leech!" ***** OOC: FFFFFFFFFF BAD POST IS BAD.

Dante was torn between panic and laughter at Belle's sudden comfort around Mewtwo. Laughter won out in the end though and the gym leader bit back sniggers at the psycat's obvious discomfort. "Belle, he doesn't like being hugged," Dante said, trying to get her away from Mewtwo. "Here, come back here and take some of this gear." He dumped the heavy backpack on the ground, gesturing for her to take it. "You'll need to learn how to carry this much supplies on your own. I'm not going to always be around to carry it for you." I hope at least, he thought privately.And Mewtwo - this is why you should keep yourself hidden when I tell you. For all the Legend's supposed brilliance, he seemed to have left behind in Genesia today.

Belle turned her head when she heard Dante laughing. What? How was this amusing? The Pokemon whose name she didn't know - and therefore was called Fuzzylumpkins - was so nice, so why shouldn't she hug it? She sighed when Dante told her to go back him. Giving Fuzzylumpkins a last, big squeeze, she let him go and walked back to him. Celisse was standing with her back to her, glowering at the grass. Apparently, she was displeased with Belle's display of affection to a Pokemon other than herself. Shrugging, she reached down and gripped the backpack, yanking it up and putting on her back with much stumbling. "Uff. So heavy." She wrinkled her nose at Dante when he made the comment that he wouldn't carry them for her. "Why not? Do you have something better to do?"

"Oh, that's simple. Because he does have better things to do than babysit a spoiled brat. Like manage a gym all the way over in Genesia." mused a voice.
Sauntering towards the trio was Desiderio. Though he was a member of Team Celestia, he wasn't wearing anything that would otherwise say he was a member. In fact, he looked just like any other Pokemon Ranger. He was just missing the hat, and his outfit looked like it was custom-made, like a higher-up member of the group.
"Sup? How's the new batch of Trainers?" he asked.

Hearing a new voice, Belle turned around, nearly losing her balance, surprised by his sudden appearance. "Whaaat? Don't be so mean to Fuzzylumpkins! He's not spoilt!" At his second comment, she turned back to Dante, confused. "You manage the Genesia gym? Cool~ Did you get to meet the leader? I think he's a Dragon type user . . ." She then turned back to the new guy, asking him with her head cocked, "How do you know Dante?" Instantly, her mind went to that they were lovers. The way he talked to him was so loving, as though they'd known each other forever~ Perhaps they'd grown up together, and a fondness for the other had also grown . . . N'aww, they'd make such a cute couple! She wandered what the new guy's name was - then she could meld his with Dante's and make their couple name!

'Thoughts' "Telepathy" "Vocalized Speech" From: Post # 8
Level: 50 Moves: Atk: TM30 Shadow Ball/Atk: Psycho Cut/Atk: Barrier/Atk: Disable Trainer: None ***** 'He was talking about you,' Mewtwo thought with some dismay. Had Belle not been so awkwardly distracting the psychic knew he'd have sensed the other human's approach and been able to disappear into the grass before he'd been seen by yet another person who's age couldn't be used to his advantage. Hopefully Dante could sway this man into keeping quiet as well. It was a bit risky for him to attempt to speak telepathically around this new man. Some humans were naturally sensitive to psychic phenomena without being psychic themselves. Dante certainly knew when he was talking to someone after having spent so much time around the cat (a faint, fuzzy buzzing on his head) and Belle would feel a vague itch on hers since he'd actively spoken to her. "Dante," he said to the gym leader privately (no need to let the newcomer know he was psychic and very much sentient in the same way as he was), "can you convince this man to keep my existence quiet? Oh and this girl thinks you and this man are lovers." ***** OOC: I swear the moment someone automatically becomes sensitive to when Mewtwo's telepathically speaking is the moment he's taking off into the sky to wherever the hell I can think of.
