The false buneary seemed to straddle the Charmeleon's tail in a manner almost like how a child might straddle a Ponyta, swinging her little hind legs back and forth as her new friend assisted her with getting where she wanted to go. As they moved along, she seemed to sing out a truly silly song full of "Bun"s and "Neary"s. Anything and everything could be made into a game if one truly wanted to make something fun. Eventually the pair came across the source of loneliness and currently worry.
She perked up at his greeting, and as he asked his question, the albino squinted her eyes in his direction. She could make out his shape and the messy hairstyle he had. That would be good enough for now.
To his question, the Buneary shook her head, but rather than mope, she just closed her eyes and straightened up her ears again, as if she was trying to listen to where the little Munchlax might have gone. She did bobble slightly as the nearby Igglybuff described what the Munchlax looked like, but she still seemed adamant on locating this boy's Pokemon friend!
The girl giggled in a well-meaning manner as her current companion seemed to grow quite flustered at her accusation. "You don't seem like a bad person, Guy... so don't worry about it!" She didn't move from her place, but noticed as the Pokemon moved a bit.
"Oh goodness... it's nothing too bad... if Oki would be willing to let Opal take his shape... that's all... I mean, it is what Dittos do." She paused for a moment as she leaned forward slightly so she could be at approximately (what she assumed to be) eye level with the Zoroark. "I hope you don't mind... Opal does need the practice in a sense... it would just be like dealing with a white Zoroark is all..." She offered the Pokemon a shy smile hoping that the dark type would understand.

Luke drew a short breath, imagining the worst at Asch's response. He quickly shook off the rooting pessimism and replaced it with the resolve he'd spend so long cultivating. "Says you!" he returned bitterly. "We're not working so hard just to sit back and let you get away with what you've done!"
Luke was nothing but completely unamused when his foe's attention was redirected to a gallivanting pokemon. He tensed irritably. "Don't just ignore me, dammit!"

To be honest, Natalia wasn't really paying attention to where the Munchlax was taking her bag as she followed him, or to be more precise, who. So it came as a surprise to her when someone snatched the stolen bag from the little thief. She stopped and looked over at the man with a relived smile on her face. "Thank y-....!" She paused and blinked at the redhead with a surprised look on her face. Hair like Luke's new style but not quite almost, check. Dresses like Asch, check.
"..." The blond reached over and started to play with the ends of Asch's hair as what she was seeing sunk in. ".....What happened to your hair?!" she asked but snapped out of i he shock when she heard Luke as well. She turned her head to look at him and one thought went through her mind. 'This is going to be trouble...'

Asch was indeed ignoring Luke at this point, not seeing any reason to answer him. If the other red head was so determined to not let him get away with anything, then why was he just standing there and screaming like a 2 year-old? It was really quite stupid and pathetic, and such behavior was not deserving of Asch's attention.
Instead his focus was on Natalia as he held out the bag to her in silence. But his green eyes blinked as her fingers worked through the ends of his now short hair. He didn't stop her or protest, but the astonishment was clear on his face. At her question though, he huffed and looked away. "I don't want to talk about it." It was a particularly sore subject.

Elle smiled coyly at the black-haired man. She knew these two weren't fighting over her, but she was flattered by his remarks. She gave him a little half-wave to acknowledge that she heard him, but she wasn't about to give up her seat--and she couldn't yell across that distance, that just wasn't ladylike at all.
But she resolved to talk to him later. He was rather handsome, and appeared good with the ladies--if a bit over dramatic.
Elle shrugged at the strange girl with her fingers in Asch's hair. "He wouldn't tell me either, if that helps. Not that I blame him. Hair disfigurement is a terrible thing to have happen--I wouldn't want to relive it either."
She felt so terrible for Luke. Here he was, with an excellent reason for his anger, trying to save a stolen pokemon. Of course, she could guess at the reason for the theft, too. She frowned. Maybe it couldn't have been avoided, but she felt it was a mistake for Asch to have allowed Luke to know he was the thief. Anonymous thefts were better for everyone.

Luke's own face mirrored Asch's astonishment as Natalia approached him and spoke to him as though it were perfectly normal - and it wasn't as though she had confused Asch for him, given that she looked right at him. "H-Hey, Natalia, what the heck...?" What in the world was she doing, just waltzing up to that criminal without a care in the world?

Natalia glanced back at Asch and resisted the urge to pry about his hair. Now probably wasn't a good time for that after all. As it is she lowered her hand from the red locks with a slight blush and took her bag. "Thank you." she said again though finishing it this time. She briefly looked at the box in her other hand but now was also not a good time to give it to Asch. So instead she just held both the bag and box protectively as she looked at the girl that addressed her.
How did Asch know the young woman? She pushed that thought way though to respond. "Well I wouldn't say disfigured but yes, I can see why." It was such a pity that Asch's long hair was cut. The hair cut that he had made him look younger then he really was, much like when Luke got his cut.
But the problem of Asch's hair was put on the back burner as Luke spoke up again. Natalia really wasn't looking forward to any arguments that would potentially arise from this. "Hello Luke. How have you been?" She asked. Whether she was just at a lose of what to say or was trying to derail the questions for a bit was a bit hard to tell.

Asch suppressed the urge to roll his eyes at Elle. This was just so fun for her wasn't it, to watch all of this. Thus he just did his best to ignore her, along with the idiot. But when Natalia's fingers left his hair and she started speaking to said idiot, he turned to look back at her. His mouth opened for a moment but he quickly closed it again, thinking better of it. He then resolved to just nodding in response to her thanks.
The Munchlax that had stolen it though, had stopped since he realized he no longer had his prize. The pudgy Pokemon turned around and frowned, then pouted as his stomach growled again. He was so hungry! Now that he'd been thwarted, Nazdrovie wandered off to look for something else to nom on.

How had he been...? Luke shook his head slowly in disbelief, continuing as the feeling shifted to an outright rejection, "Don't just change the subject! What are you doing?!" He moved forward a few angry steps, wanting to pull Natalia away from Asch but afraid of the possibility of him turning her into a hostage or something. What was he supposed to do in this situation? Natalia not only expressed no concern over her proximity to the thief, but she even seemed friendly with him. Luke could draw no understanding from the scene.

Guy rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled, feeling more embarrassed by each passing moment. Ivory didn't mind him, and he was grateful for that, but he still could not help feeling a little foolish. He really wasn't that good at talking to other people, he was discovering - or at least, to strangers or acquaintances.
"Oh, is that all?" Guy blinked at Ivory's request. It seemed somewhat odd to have Oki model, per se, for another Pokemon, but had no qualms toward it. Oki might think differently, but Guy hoped that the stoic Zoroark would just see it as a test of patience. He looked over to Oki and tried to give a reassuring smile, silently hoping the Pokemon would not refuse. "Well? What do you think, Oki?"
At hearing the human girl's request, Oki's eyes narrowed. His immediate answer was no, no, absolutely not. He would not be some sort of target practice for another Pokemon! Realizing his haste, Oki sighed and pondered on it. He was a transforming Pokemon as much as a Ditto - in that sense they were kin, and he would not deny his own kin a chance to train. That, and as Guy correctly predicted, Oki assumed that it would help him learn some patience. His decision made, Oki nodded to Sir Guy. He would suffer through it.
Guy let out a small sigh of relief at Oki's compliance. "Good. Thank you, Oki." Smiling, Guy looked back to Ivory. "So then! Should we find your Ditto?" Looking all around to try to catch a glimpse for any white-colored Pokemon, Guy caught sight of a small group of people a ways away. He could barely make out the faces, but it seemed to him like there were two identical people there; both somewhat short, both with red hair chopped short, one seeming angry and the other looking irritated. And then there was a young blonde woman accompanying them...
Guy's eyes widened as realization hit him upside the head like a bag of bricks. "Oh no."

Natalia's shoulders slumped ever so slightly when Luke just got angrier. She had a feeling this would end up worse then when Asch and Guy were fighting. "I'm saying thank you is what I'm doing." She said, side stepping the answer some what. She wished to tell Luke about Asch and him being twins but there was the chance that Guy already had, or that Luke wouldn't believe her and mostly likely, Asch would get angry. Again. And Natalia really didn't want to ruin anyone's valentines with her mood if if this continued escalating.
If she found the person who started all this she swore she would use them for shooting practice.

Asch just stood there and watched, then folded his arms and looked on irritably. "You're such an idiot," he then said under his breath, tilting his gaze away. He really couldn't believe that this guy was his twin brother. It was like he'd been born on another planet or something. However, Asch's nerves were starting to get frayed, and he knew he wasn't exactly welcome here.. so why hang around. He could find much better company to keep he was sure.
"I'm leaving before my brain cells start to die from the level of stupidity," he remarked before turning his back to leave.

Okay, so Natalia was blind. That presented some concerns in itself, but at least it provided one explanation. No, seriously, what the hell was going on. Luke growled loudly in frustration. "And just who is so stupid, huh?! The guy who can't read minds to figure out what's going on?! Well excuse me!" He wanted to follow Asch's departing form, to force him into a more appropriate arena and challenge him directly, but at the moment his concerns were elsewhere. In a flurry of nothing short of abject anger, he turned to Natalia, "And what? Now you're best friends with the guy who stole Rosie's pokemon?!"

Elle sat in her tree, watching the twins fight, a wry grin on her face.
"You do both realize this looks like you're standing in front of a mirror, arguing with yourself, right?"
She covered a smile with a hand, suppressing a giggle. "I swear, this is better than a soap opera. Someone should film this! They'd make a killing."

Asch would have ignored Luke, had he not turned his yelling towards Natalia. Whirling around, he leveled another glare on his twin. "Don't you dare take this out on Natalia! Its not her fault that you're so stupid! Have you honestly not figured anything out?!" Luke's ignorance was nothing short of amazing. The only reason he could gather that Luke was demanding answers, was because he still didn't know anything. Even after their conflict back... how long has it been now?
"PATHETIC!"
Elle's words then caught his attention and Asch now turned a hateful glare towards her, not at all appreciating her attempt at humor. "SHUT UP!" Rocket or no, that had been uncalled for.
