   Jasoη мikeℓ Λngelι  Jason casually walked into Winks and Jynx. One could say he was enjoying just visiting all of the local stores and shops. With his Ampharos, Thor, beside him as per the usual, they were getting themselves accustomed to the new environment. Since they were going to be staying in this general area for awhile, it only made sense that the young man and his old friend familiarize themselves with their new surroundings. And the best way to do that? Window shop!
The place was quite lovely, a cute little boutique for clothes shopping and costume buying and the likes. Thor wandered over to a mareep-inspired outfit, naturally wanting to check it out. Jason chuckled, amused at his Ampharos's curiousity. "What do you think, would it look good on me~?" He joked, holding the outfit that was obviously meant for females to himself. Thor grinned, and nodded mischievously. Laughing and smiling some more, the two goofballs went around the store and just checked out the merchandise; who knows, maybe there'd actually be something that peaked their fancy!  _____________________________________________Pokemon:  Attire: Long-sleeved, blue, button-up, semi-formal plaid shirt; black jeans.

 Furret kept an eye on the "customer", a dopey smile on its face while it waited patiently to attend to them. It was only Tsuki at the shoppe for now. Christen had her day full with classes and training. But it was a quicker day for the girl. Come lunch, While Lydia would be attending another class, Christen would be bolting back across the lake to manage her sister's store. "I'm sorry. W-we're just a small store. It didn't get all too popular until this past summer," The timid girl apologized to her customer while azuril bounced about without a care. It wasn't until rumor grew that the same kids who'd raised legendary pokemon shopped there, that their demand grew. Leevany had been left behind to help, but didn't say much for two inexperienced girls running the place while the founders were away for charity runs. "Was there something you were looking for specifically...?"

Jasoη мikeℓ Λngelι As Jason and Thor browsed through the quant little shop, they were approached by one of the workers. Had they been rude!? Of course, that was the first thought that went through his mind, but as the quiet girl spoke he begun to calm down. His gaze softened, and he smiled at her. "There's truly no need to apologize ma'am; actually I find this store to be quite charming." He bowed a little to the girl for Jason wasn't one to go without etiquette! He patted Thor's head. "Pharos!" Thor agreed, nodding warmly. "Though I am merely only browsing. I just arrived here in Adell a few days ago and was hoping to get to know the area a bit better. However,-" He had to pause in order to think about how to word his next sentence. "-I have been meaning to get a new... Oh Mother of mew, what's the word?" He looked over at Thor, hoping that he could help him out. Thor just shrugged. Kostoúmi? No, that was Greek. Vestit? No, that was Catalan. Traxe? Galician. Anzug? German. Pak? Dutch. Jakkesæt...? That was Danish... "It's on the tip of my tongue...!" He hated not remembering what the word for something common was, and he knew that it was in his memory banks somewhere. He spoke English fluently, and it's because of that that he was frustrated at himself for forgetting such a simple word. "When I get back I should ask one of my Suits if they-"
He face-palmed. "Sorry about that, ma'am. English is not my native language, but as I was saying I've been meaning to get myself a new suit or two and so I was hoping to possibly find one that I liked. Do you have any?" It was kind of ironic, how Jason could speak the language without accent and still actually use the "not my first language" card. Still though, even in his flustered moment he kept about him an aura of calmness and dignity and charm. _____________________________________________Pokemon: Attire: Long-sleeved, blue, button-up, semi-formal plaid shirt; black jeans.

"Suit...?" Tsuki blinked a moment, needing time to think. "Oh! Y-yes! They're, um, they're normally out..." She glanced around, trying to figure it all out. "But I, um... I guess we must have put them in the back because there's no a formal occasion coming up..." She still stopped, needing to think about what to do. She wasn't great with social skills, pokemon, or business in general. "I-I can get them out for you now, though." She turned, waiting just a short moment to see if she'd been on the right track before leaving to call for leevanny. Another customer walked in, catching Tsuki off guard. "I'll be right with you!" She stopped to assure the new customer as well as her first. It wasn't long until she and her cousin's pokemon had come back to help anyone else and show Jason the selection of semi-formal suits.

 Felix Albear
Felix waited outside the door of some tiny clothing store.His lord had gone in, claiming some business there he had to settle. He didn't question his king. He was simply there to serve Villon, and was at his disposal; anything to rid the world of its filth. So when he was commanded to wait, he waited. And he did so while remaining still and silent. He was his Lord's hound, a dog to fetch whatever his master tossed. Even if he wasn't so highly ranked, it didn't matter to him. Titles didn't mean anything to him, and he was poor with pokemon anyway. He trained under Villon, and evolved his pokemon with their respective stones when it was announced that they would finally begin moving. Most of his comrades were thieves, slipping from shade and shadow and into pockets, then away without notice. Felix had no interest in that. To put it simply, he was after the greater good.

  Lydia Cross
Lydia walked from class and onto the ferry. A small bag held her change of cloths, and her Paras held onto her neck. She still felt really bad about how she caused a dangerous scene in class, but if no one held it against her then she would take the time to think it over rather than pout around. One good review wouldn't be enough to keep her head above water in Azrael's class. Once at the store, though, she got distracted... A large man with a stern look and dark hair. What was with this trend of scary guys and black hair!? Lydia stiffened up as she passed by him. Was he waiting for someone? A girlfriend maybe? The way he was dressed... He looked rather odd.
However, there was a sight inside that made her freeze completely. The man from behind the mask: Villon. What was he doing here!? Rayquaza, all those legends were already gone! What could he want now? She didn't move from the doorway. Instead, she wanted to run--run far away!
"Gold eyes... they're beautiful," He harmlessly complimented Tsuki, watching her blush and try to hide her face timidly. He smiled, but whether it was genuine or mockery was uncertain. When he turned, he seemed too happy to see Lydia standing there, "Ah! There she is! The lady of the hour." He walked right up to her, as if nothing was wrong. "How are you, my friend? You look beautiful. A little more grown up from the last time I saw you," He reached out for her cheek.
Without thinking, Lydia smacked his arm away. "What do you want?" She said quickly, trying to hide her fear. The last time these two met... she was his prisoner--if not for Vince, she would have probably stayed that way.
Villon frowned. "You should accept my hand," He said in a low tone. "What's the matter? Are you afraid of me, Lydia?" Now, he was mocking her.
"What do you want?" She repeated, now visibly shaking. "Rayquaza is gone! What could you want with me? With this place?"
"Want?" He repeated. "I just wanted to see you. See how you were doing. Still defiant as always it seems... Pitty. You might have been able to grow up into a lovely little lady." He sighed, walking past her. "I would have thought you'd like the opportunity to become a part of my future... What a shame." He clapped his hands, summoning his dog to follow him away.
When she couldn't hear him anymore, Lydia dropped everything and ran to Tsuki. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Did he say anything?"
"N-n-no..." She said to reassure her cousin's friend. "I, I'm fine. I'm not hurt..." A moment passed, and Lydia let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"So then... What did he want?"
"That guy? He just came in and looked around mostly... He said a few nice things about my hair and my eyes... Asked if I was happy, about the things I liked and disliked, and then you came in." She glanced around, trying to remember everything. "Why? Did you know him from somewhere?"

Jasoη мikeℓ Λngelι Jason was actually on his way out, having gotten himself a harmless new suit, when he saw his King walk in. Outside the door was one of the Suits (no pun intended). His King proceeded to flirt with the nice lady behind the counter, which was something Jason would've harmlessly done had that task not already been filled. With Thor beside him, Jason had just left the store and a couple of feet passed the Suit, when a girl walked in and His King begun to converse with her. Maybe he should stay...? No, if his King so desired his presence to stay he wouldn't leave. However, a few moments passed and it was pretty clear to the Lord of Diamonds that he stay away from the scene behind him. "Let's go, Thor." He ordered, leaving behind his King whom he'd intentionally failed to acknowledge, not because he didn't like him or was at all unfaithful, just that the young blond found it to be wiser to simply ignore him for now. _____________________________________________Pokemon: Attire: Long-sleeved, blue, button-up, semi-formal plaid shirt; black jeans.

 Lél
Lél walked in a few hours after class. He was glad to get out of the costume Holly had insisted on. For such a tiny person, she could be bossy when she wanted. Granted, it was a little cute when watching such a big man give in to an adamant girl like her, and he found that sort of adamant personality charming, but he was in no way about to bend and become a doll for some girl. He hadn't really found an interest in the girls around the academy. Being cute or coy or meek might be attractive to some, but your typical hugarian liked a woman best who was feminine but strong enough to hold her own. A woman could be pretty, but it didn't count for much if that was it. Hana was a pretty little thing, but far too fragile for him to think anything of her. Iris was just the opposite: a hefty girl who could stand on her own feet in a fight if it came down to it, but not quite so pretty to him. Short hair and thicker bodies (fat or muscular) wasn't his idea of pretty. That being said, he actually turned down several battles on his way over. He didn't have any interest in seven or eight battles with (more or less) baby pokemon.
Out of his uniform, out of that costume, Lel felt comfortable in just a guy's tanktop and jeans. It was hot out, hotter than his homeland. Even just walking through town began to make him sweat a little. He peered into store after store, trying to find whatever the one was that so many people had been on about. The only real reason he actually stopped to enter this one was that he saw a classmate in there. But being so awkward in a fru-fru shoppe, he stayed silent upon entering...

Lydia Cross
Lydia had the hardest time tending to customers. Not from being shy, but from being overwhelmed. When the usual girls were here, they didn't miss a beat! And they made it look so easy! like a few other people, she was a little more comfortable out of costume and uniform, but had to keep her stage outfit on through town for anyone to see. She felt better in jeans and a flowery top, but it didn't help with her confidence in attending to the customers. Still, she seemed to be more present with herself than Tsuki. "Ya, all the swimsuits are on sale right now," She smiled at a couple who had come in.
"Lydia," Christen called, her pokemon running right into the store. "I'm here now, so you can take off if you want to."
"Thanks," Lydia smiled. "I just have to help a few people and then I'll leave it up to you and Tsuki. But... what happens when the school takes that trip to Partright city? I had one or two kids from the academy come in here to buy stuff for it, and it reminded me that the trip is just around the corner."
"Hm? I'm not going. My grades probably won't be good enough, so even if I could go I should probably stay." Christen gave Lydia an odd look. Even for her age, Christen already had her act together in a way.
"You're kidding!"
"Hey, do you know who that guy is over there? He's just been sitting there at the door for a while," She pointed back at Lel.
Lydia looked at him for a moment, unable to recognize him at first. She only really ever saw him in uniform, or dressed up (or shirtless) in contest class. "Ya. That's a guy from my class: Leel or Lel or Lil... something like that..."
Christen grinned. "Ohhhhh! Sounds like your boyfriend! Lydia's got a boyfriend! Lydia's got a boyfriend!"
Lydia's face went red. "H-he is not my boyfriend! I don't even know the guy! We just have the same class together!" She stopped herself, remembering that she was shouting in a small space. Her head sank low into her shoulders, and the couple she'd been helping chuckled at her.
"Ya ya. You take care of him. I'll help these guys," Christen waved it off.
What a little brat! was she trying to get Lydia in some kind of trouble? At least it wasn't Jason who walked in to hear all that... "Um... Hey there. Lel? Did you need something from here?" Her voice went timid, and her body shaky. Lydia never actually stood next to the big guy; and now that she did, he towered right over her like a mountain! How does anyone get that huge!? "I really liked your contest outfit, but... um... A-are you here for a new one, or something? Or... um..." She must have sounded dumber than usual, and her inner self just wanted to kick her! 'Come on Lydia! Get it together! He's just a person!'

Lél
Lél looked down when Lydia came up. From his collected and distant mannerisms, you wouldn't notice that he felt just as out of place as the small girl tending to him. "Borrowed," He said, blinking with heavy eyes. "Not mine. Didn't bodder to come with one." He glanced around, half guessing that there probably wasn't a thing in there that would fit on his rather large self. Most things were for shorter and less toned males that he could spot out. From curiosity, he flipped the tag of one piece. Still for a moment, he translated the price; then promptly, he let go of it and turned to leave. He hadn't the money to spend idly on fancy cloths. "Never mind..." He waved behind him, feeling more frustrated than he had before. Like anywhere tamed and road ridden, he couldn't keep up with the financial costs. He'd have to find work; something to cut into his training time. That in itself was frustrating.

Lydia Cross
"Well--hey wait a minute!" Lydia grabbed his hand to keep him from leaving. Though, once she realized what she did, her face flushed in a shade of pink. Who was she to stop anyone from leaving? Especially such a big guy like Lel! But she had stopped him now, and had to say something to justify it. Her hand quickly retreated, but her face kept its new color, "I--I know all the stuff in here is kind of pricey! I, I mean, even I can't afford anything in here!! But! Um..." She needed a moment. A moment to stop thinking about how she must have looked or how strangely cool and warm Lel's hand was at the same time. And a moment to decide where she was going with this: "Wh-what if we struck a deal?" Almost instantly, both Tsuki and Christen stopped to look back. "N-nothing bad, I promise! But I need two favors anyway, and then you can borrow stuff from time to time; like for class and stuff!" She repositioned herself to seem stronger and more firm in her bargaining. "Not many guys come in here--Well, Gavin did a couple of times... And we got a few more sales because he was Miss Phoenix's nephew..." She shook her head, trying to get back on track. "But a lot of people already seem to like and respect you--s-so if you just wore one or two things... Please! Cause then this place won't close down." She kept a serious look, but the pink on her face negated any part of her to be taken seriously.
"And... There's this guy. I had a run n with him a while back--he's a total creep! He kidnapped me and tried to steal my pokemon! So... If you hung around here just a little more often... I-I'm not saying I want you to go and pick a fight or anything like that! But y-you help people and get rid of creeps--like you did with Jason--right?" She stomped one of her feet, making a dull sound on the ground and unable to noticed that she did so. "A-and I promise I'll help you out too if I can! I have a whole new team of pokemon right now... But I'm a lot better at battles and contests now than when I first started! I even battled against a group of team rocket people, and I won! I swear I did! And I study just as hard as I train--s-so anything you need! If I can do it, I'll give it my best! Deal?" It wasn't much of a trade, but she hoped that it would be firm enough to make it seem fair.

Lél
Lél felt a tug on his arm, a small jerk just enough to get him to look back. What was with these girls? He never had such a frustrating time trying to understand anyone! He ground around his teeth while she talked, and scratched at the back of his head as he took it all in while trying to weigh his options. He needed something pompous like, according to the instructor, for that class; but he also didn't want to have to buy something only to get frustrated with it. And as for battling... Well, he hadn't seen her battle. That mess up on stage only showed him that her magby had a strong fire attack. It might be worth looking into (especially since she wasn't squealing around him annoyingly); the more battle partners, the better in his mind. And then there were those pesky exams that would cut deeply into his training time... He hated to admit it, but the deal the little girl offered up was probably one of the better options. There weren't many to start with.
"Da..." He reluctantly agreed. Lydia might have looked a little ridiculous as she stood there, but at least she could stand on her own two feet. "Vat jou need?" He stuck his hands in his pockets, resisting his urge to grab at his cigarettes. "Ah. vun rule. Not someschting I not move in, not someschting for voman." Technically that was two rules, but it pertained to one topic.
