Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Countess covered her ears at the sound; excellent hearing abilities were what she depended on, and she planned on keeping said abilities. Rei grinned at the energetic Chingling.

"Hello there, little one," he said, offering some of his paltry meal.

The Chingling gratefully accepted the small offering. After it ate, a happy little tune came from it.

"I think it's time for you to give our ears a break now..." Caleb said quietly, taking out Chingling's poke ball and recalling it.

Thankfully that's over for now. Noibat peered down the stairs when there were no more bell sounds to be heard. Satisfied, she swooped down and sat on the back of the chair that Marshtomp was sitting in.

"I guess so." Jake shrugs. He couldn't wait to get out of Kalos. Everything was either too fancy or foreign for him. The bars, clubs and pubs just weren't the same to him. "Hey Lil' Sam, let's go."
The Gengar comes out from the kitchen and looks at her trainer.
"What? Do I have to?"
Jake pulls out a Pokeball and recalls her. "Yup."

Rei laughed. "Well, when I say fancy, I really mean only fancy for the Pokémon. There's this café that really caters to Pokémon. Don't get me wrong, the food there's fine for us, too. It's just, er, more obvious for who they're catering to." He shrugged. "They won't allow Pokémon that don't have some kinda outfit thing on them, but the food is said to be quite the experience for who-or what-ever eats there." He could already feel his belt wiggling in anticipation. He felt like he hadn't treated his Pokémon to something nice in a long time, and this was the easiest way to repay them.

"If you guys don't have anything for your Pokémon to wear, I'm sure there are shops around the plaza that will have something." The Countess practically hopped with joy. She was finally going to eat at the café she always heard about! Thinking back on the pile of brochures she dumped on everything Rei owned, she was wondering when he'd take her there.

Rei nodded. "Any one item will do, though I've seen people dress up their Pokémon in a full suit. I think it was mostly because they wanted to, though." Rei shrugged. "The Countess is gonna wear a bowtie and that's it," he said, more to his Zubat than to Jeff. The Countess stuck her tongue out. As if she'd fit in a ballgown.

Rose, having spent a while at the Pokemon Center to get all her Pokemon a check-up, returned at last to Maddy's house, carrying her Carbink in her arms "Hello everyone, I'm back' Rose said cheerfully, her Carbink faced forward so that it could look at everyone "How is everyone doing?"

There's a flash of light and Jake is holding out his Gengar. Her sweater(?) stretches a bit as she dangles from his arm. On her head is a pink bow, bringing out her adorableness.
"With this I should get a discount." He says, putting on his triangle shades to hide the extreme determination in his eyes. "Also women love cute things. I could totally use her to pick up chicks."

Caleb now had something new to direct his attention to. Rose' Carbink. If it wasn't bad enough to have his Marshtomp and Noibat staring at him, a fairy type doing the staring made it just that much worse.

"Probably...." Caleb stiffly replied.
