Jay Swanson heads into the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center Lounge, deciding to try it out on its first day of being opened. While walking in he would take off his backpack and put it on in reverse, so his bulbasaur, Namine, could have a view of the Lounge too. "Whatcha think girl?" Jay asked his bulbasaur, getting himself a cheerful "Saur! Saur! Saaaaur!" in response from the green pokemon. "Glad you like it..." he said scratching behind her ear before plopping down on one of the couches and looking around, waiting for some other people to come in.her people to come in.

Sandy questioned as the Psychic Pokemon wrapped her body around her shoulders while they walked through the doors of the Pokemon center. Muru, holding her head high, flicked her tail.
"Hardly!" Sighing, Sandy drew Spirit and Munchy's Pokeballs from her pocket and walked up to the counter, smiling politely at the nurse behind the counter and sliding them over to her to be healed. Rather unbalanced thanks to Muru, Sandy then took her time getting something from the vending machine, and sat down on a couch adjacent to the one that a boy was already occupying. Muru finally hopped off her shoulders and onto the floor as Sandy began to dig though her bag.
"So why are we going back again?" Muru questioned, glancing up at the girl. Sandy sighed.
"Muru this has to be the third time you've asked that. Mom told me she had something really important to tell me and she couldn't do it over the phone." Muru answered with a simple nod, and with the trainer occupied, she was bored. That's when she spotted the kid on the opposite couch and his Bulbasaur. Her tail flicking softly in mischief, her eyes glowed a soft blue as she attempted to lift the Bulbasaur from the bag. It was just for kicks after all, she wasn't going to hurt it.

Jay started to tell his bulbasaur before hearing her make noises "Saur! Buuuuuuuulba!" while a blue glow surrounded her and she floated up and out of the Gigantic Orange backpack™, and started floating in the air. "Woah....didn't know you were a flying type too girl!" he yelled out staring up at his bulbasaur, trying to figure out why his bulbasaur suddenly started floating. He'd look around trying to figure out where it came from before noticing the Espeon on the ground, with glowing blue eyes, Jay would look up towards the psychic type's trainer in an attempt to get her attention. "Ummm, excuse me ma'am?"

Glancing up, she found herself looking back at a guy with black hair, a reddish streak running through it. When she heard the Bulbasaur's cries and saw the blue aura around her, she understood.
"Muru! Let go of her....Gently." she called sternly, making the Espeon flinch a bit, with a sigh, she complied and lowered Namine onto the floor, letting her control go when her feet were on the ground.
"Now say your sorry to the Bulbasaur."
"But-"
"Muru." Muru sighed and turned to the Bulbasaur.
"Sorry..." Sandy let out a soft huff and then turned to the boy, a shy look on her face.
"I'm really sorry. I'm Sandy and she's Muru. I didn't notice she was doing anything, I just get so focused on what I'm doing I don't hear a thing!"

Once she was sat back down on the ground the bulbasaur responded with a nod and a simple "Bulba!" before hopping on the couch and wiggling back into Jay's back pack. "...I guess thats her way of saying "Its okay."" Jay said petting the top of the bulbasaur's head. "Its alright Sandy, everyone gets distracted sometime." he said scratching behind his bulbasaur's ear still "Its nice to meet you by the way, my name's Jay and this is Namine." Jay said pointing to the bulbasaur with his free hand, getting a cheerful "Saaaur!" out of her in greeting.

Narice was off to the side browsing through magazines, her Deerling and Furret out with her. Pounce was mimicking her trainer, pretending to read an issue; she had it laid out on the ground and flipped through the pages while staring at the pictures, chirping occasionally. Nettle didn't understand the fuss, she leaned over Furret's shoulder and touched her nose to the paper. It didn't smell like food. She licked it and Pounce giggled. Narice looked down and shook her head with a smile. "What have you picked out there girls?" The trainer inspected the magazine and raised an eyebrow. It was an expose on a male model/trainer, someone named Ashton Reid? Furret took it back and wrinkled it slightly as she hugged it to her chest and trilled with a big smile. "Alright, fine, I'll buy it for you." Narice picked up a few more various magazines off the shelves and went over to the cashier. It was when she was counting out and handing over some money she won off another trainer that she noticed a couple familiar people out of the corner of her eye. Sandy? Jay? Sandy she had met at the Beach in this very city and Jay she had met at the Unova Festival while watching a battle.
The brunette came up beside them with a casual smile. "Looks like Muru is up to her usual mischief." The trainer winked at the adorable Espeon.

A young girl with snow white hair, three scars across the right side of her face, and a bad limp walked through the doors of the Pokemon Center, heading for the lounge. Her starter, a brave Charmander, walked at her side, looking around, while a young Pichu rested on her shoulder, looking around as well. Upon seeing the other trainers that were talking, she flipped some of her long hair in front of the scars, hiding the right side of her face. It didn’t block her sight, however, because she was already blind in that eye.
The human walked over and sat down slowly on one of the couches, stretching her left leg out in front of her and gently massaging the scarred limb. Honou and the Pichu bounced over the shelves and began to browse, coming across a matching pair of hats. One was human sized, the other was miniature, perfectly sized for a Pichu. It was mainly black, with a dark purple middle, and a letter in the center.
Yokina, the Pichu, began to dig through the small hat pile, looking for a Y, while Honou began to dig through the large hat pile, looking for the H. Upon finding them, the two ran over to Haley, holding the hats out. “Only you guys.” she muttered, looking at the price tags and grabbing the money from her backpack, giving it to Yokina. The Pichu squeaked and dashed over to the cashier, giving her the money. The cashier smiled, and removed the price tags, and the Pichu immediately put her own hat on, giving Haley the other.
The white haired girl chuckled, and put the hat on, smiling as the Pichu pointed proudly at the letters, proud that she had gotten the right letters. She pulled the beak low over her head, covering her eyes as she attempted to get some sleep, crossing her arms beneath her head as Yokina curled up on one of the nearby pillows, Honou bouncing over to the talking group.

As Narice was reuniting with Sandy and Jay, a little, female Charmander hopped over, catching the trainer's attention. "Well hello there," the brunette smiled and knelt down on one knee. "Who do you belong to?"
Pounce sweetly chirped a greeting. The soft-furred Pokemon held her magazine tightly with one arm while reaching out with the other paw to shake the Charmander's hand enthusiastically, a habit she had picked up when first meeting Narice's Squirtle, back before she had been added to the team.
Nettle looked nervously at the flame on the fire lizard's tail and stepped back. Narice glanced around at all the trainers in the new lounge, eating, relaxing, studying, and talking, trying to see if anyone looked like they were searching for a Pokemon. She suddenly felt a gentle pressure on her back and she looked over her shoulder to see her shy Deerling hiding behind her from the Charmander. "It's okay, girl." The trainer murmured, rubbing Nettle's chin with a crooked finger to soothe the Grass type.

The Charmander chuckled softly as her hand was shook by the Furret, wagging her tail slightly, mindful of the flame atop it. “I’m Honou!” she chirped, twisting the look at the Deerling as it hid behind the trainer. “Hey… I’m not gonna hurt you!” the fire-type smiled softly, stepping back and raising her hands in show of peace.
Unable to sleep, Yokina lifted her head and looked around. Upon spotting her fire-type partner, apparently terrifying a deer-like Pokemon, she growled softly and leapt from the couch, bounding up so that she was between the fire-type and the grass-type. “Hey, it’s okay! Honou’s harmless!”
Feeling her partner leaving her spot, Haley sleepily opened her eyes and looked around. Spying her two Pokemon bugging another trainer, she stumbled to her feet. Grabbing her backpack, she limped over and called the Pokemon to her. “Yokina, Honou! Leave them alone!” she sighed, turning an apologetic look to the trainer. “Ah, sorry about that. I thought they were near me.” she smiled softly. “Ah, I’m Haley.” she murmured sleepily, offering her hand. Her speech had a slight stutter to it.
Honou and Yokina walked over to her, Yokina clambering up onto her shoulder while Honou stood at her side. “And these are my partners, Yokina,” she pointed to the Pichu, “and Honou.”

Upon seeing the Charmander's concern, Narice tried to reassure the Fire type. "She's just skittish around strangers. Give her some space and she might warm up." Suddenly another Pokemon scampered towards them, wearing a little hat. The trainer wondered if they knew each other. The Pichu started saying something to her Deerling, which only caused the young, Grass type to retreat further. "Deer?" She started sniffing around Narice's belt, looking for her Pokeball to hide in. Pounce slid over and hugged the easily overwhelmed Deerling tight. Nuzzling her face against Nettle's to try and distract her to the point of calming down.
“Yokina, Honou! Leave them alone!” Narice looked up in time to see a young woman limping towards them with a hat that matched the Pichu's. “Ah, sorry about that. I thought they were near me...Ah, I’m Haley...And these are my partners, Yokina...and Honou.”
"It's nothin'." The brunette replied dismissively and rose to her feet with a grin. "This is Pounce and Nettle. I'm Narice. Nice to meet you." At this point they were a few feet away from Sandy and Jay so she didn't feel the need to introduce them. If they wanted to join the conversation they could. "You seem tired, those two keeping you busy?"

Sandy's smile warmed at Jay's welcome, and she nudged Muru a bit with her foot to get the Espeon out of her pouty state. She huffed and them rolled onto her back. She was so bored at the moment that she could care less about their names! Sandy, who was never good at keeping a conversation going, faltered a bit when she couldn't find anything else to say. Though, Muru's ears perked upon hearing a familiar voice. The girl from the beach! Feeling grateful that someone understood this was her usual, she bounded up to her and wrapped her body around Narice's legs, a soft purring sound escaping her.
"Hey Narice! It's been a while hasn't it?" Sandy called with a small chuckle, following after Muru to greet her. It had been quite a busy time and she didn't get to see her friends too much, so it was a treat...but just as she was about to continue the chat....
"Uh, Miss Katayko? Can you please assist of with your Quilava, he isn't very cooperative..." The nurse called, and Sandy clicked her tongue. He never liked being healed by anyone aside from herself, but she was no Pokemon Nurse.
"Excuse me a moment, come on Muru." Muru obliged and untabgled herself from Narice to follow. It wasn't long until theygot back, but another girl had also joined Narice and she looked younger than both of them. Holding a still resisting Munchy, she and Muru hurried back over.
"Sorry about that Narice...someone doesn't know that trying to singe Chansey's is a pretty bad deal." Munchy's skin was puffy, indicating he had been slapped multiple times as Sandy placed him on the floor. Noticing the Pichu and the Charmander, Sandy smiled.
"They're adorable. Are they yours?" She questioned to the female with the oddly colored hair, Muru plopping down at her side, however not wihout giving a pouty Munchy a broad smirk.

Haley sighed, rubbing her neck with her hand, a nervous tick she had never gotten rid of. “It’s, um, nice to meet you, Narice. Though I’m sorry about my Pokemon.” she gave a small smile and a shrug. “And it’s nice to meet you too, Pounce, Nettle. And I’m sorry Honou scared you, she didn’t mean to.” she pulled a berry from her pocket, offering it to the Deerling. She pulled another out, offering it to the Furret. “I have a Sentret of my own.” she smiled, thinking about Flounder, whom she had sent to the lab.
“With them, plus the rest of my team? Definitely.” she replied when the other trainer asked if they were keeping her busy. She looked up at the sound of footsteps, and chuckled softly at the sight of a slap-bruised Quilava.
When the girl complimented her troublesome pair, she gave a lopsided grin. “Thanks. Ah, yeah, they’re mine.” the pair smiled and waved happily. “This is Honou, my starter, and Y-Yokina. Er, I’m Haley.” she offered her hand. She was a bit people-claustrophobic. One person was alright- two she could do, but she got shyer.

Nettle tentively accepted the berry after a nod from her trainer and Pounce held out her paw and bobbed her head a couple times with thanks before nibbling on the treat. The long body Pokemon's ears perked at the mention of another Sentret and she quietly listened to their conversation, licking any juice from her muzzle as she did so.
“With them, plus the rest of my team? Definitely.”
"It gets easier...sort of." Her team was more disciplined now than they were before. It took time, getting to know them, and training, but things had improved. It wouldn't be long now till she felt ready to challenge Bugsy with them.
Sandy came back with a puffy Quilava and Muru. "Sorry about that Narice...someone doesn't know that trying to singe Chansey's is a pretty bad deal."
"How naughty." Narice bit her lip to keep from smiling. He is just too cute. "So who's on your team right now?" She asked them both. Nettle looked curiously at the Pokemon around them and Pounce hopped up on a couch and sprawled out luxuriously, enjoying their break.

The rather lithe Espeon listened to the conversation before her, her tail flicking back and forth as she examined both Honou and Yokina. The two Pokemon seemed harmless enough. But of course with all the Pokemon about, Munchy was on high alert, glaring at the group. Muru rolled her eyes. Of course he'd be acting like this. She hated to admit it, but even Spirit was a little more friendly than the grouchy old Quilava.
<<They all annoy me. And I feel like something is up with that one girl, the youngest.>> rolling her eyes, Muru decided to for once to indulge him.
<<What in the world are you talking about.>> she whispered back. Munchy wasn't quite sure himself, but he sensed some sort of ill intent. But it was very small. She seemed...off. It was like, he couldn't very well place it, so he decided just to let it go.
<<Forget it.>> Sandy was too focused on the conversation in front of so she didnt take notice of her conversing Pokemon.
"Oh you know, my usual bunch. These two, Squirtle, Ponyta, Delcatty and Dugtrio" she answered, very pleased it seemed with being able to say so.
