fiona looked down at her silver slippers, bouncing on the balls of her feet. she had a shirley temple in one hand, her cubchoo in the other wrapped in her arm’s grip like an actual teddy bear. however, the cubchoo, always the reckless type, jumped out of her arms and sprinted towards a large ice statue, running in between someone’s legs. “catch that cubchoo!” she screeched, running after her pokemon.

Silver was convinced he was drunk or mildly tipsy when he accepted the invitation to be here at Oak’s party. Silver was more of the quite, loner type…This definitely had him out of his element. Plus, he should be training with his Mienfoo. Right now it only knew pound, meditate, and detect…And he wanted to increase that. “How much longer do you think this party is going to be?” Silver couldn’t help but ask the person that was suddenly by him.

Tabby hadn’t been all that interested in the idea of a getting-to-know-you party, although she’d been convinced to attend with the promise of an open bar. She’d mostly been keeping herself occupied looking around Oak’s house, but it wasn’t very interesting. He mostly had a bunch of boring nerd junk and pictures of his grandkids. She’d wandered back to the bar, grabbing a particularly pricey bottle of scotch and discreetly slipping it into her backpack when she noticed someone looking at her. “You didn’t see anything, got it?”

she drank, she danced and now she was totally over the party. bentley made her way outside for some fresh air as her scorbunny hops beside her, she turns to him and sighs. “ these things are overrated, don’t you agree, scorbunny ?? ” leaning up against the fence, she pulls out her pokedex and scrolls through it, trying to figure out which pokemon she wanted to attempt to encounter next. she was deep in thought that she hadn’t heard the noises coming from the bushes behind her. looking down, she watches as her scorbunny hops off and her eyebrows raise in confusion. “ where are you going ?? ” she shouts out before walking into the bushes with her flashlight on. “ okay, i’m not in the mood for hide-n-go-seek scorbunny… come out now, would you. ” a snap of a branch echos through the bushes and it has her almost spinning a full 360 in fear “ whos there !? ” she calls out.

“oh, sorry–” navigating this whole party was almost terrifying. there were so many people. so many people talking and interacting and expecting her to do the same. the biggest crowd she’d ever seen was during group meditations. this definitely wasn’t that. and.. she’d just bumped into someone. not very hard, but enough to catch her attention. she immediately began checking them over, worry clear on her face.

“i didn’t spill your drink or anything, right?”

“I have a hot take,” Sid turned to the person next to him, swirling the umbrella in his Mai Tai. “All drinks taste better with these little umbrellas in them, there’s just some kind of flavor enhancing quality.”

The Professor’s house was getting a little stuffy for Troy, what with all the people crammed into a small space and the fact that the Professor had started in on these ‘back when I was a trainer’ yarns. Troy opted to go hang out on the back deck, lighting a joint and looking out when he heard a door slam behind him. He turned around to make sure it wasn’t the prof or one of his staff and smirked when he saw a stranger. He held out the joint, “You want a hit?”

“i’m surprised no one’s started battling yet.” wendy mused. partially to the person standing next to her, but mostly to herself. she had a habit of talking out loud. usually her opinions tended to set some people off. it was a problem. “this whole party is a little dull, honestly. is no one going to start breaking anything? or do i have to be the inaugural one?”

Lukas was definitely having a ball at this party. Lukas wasn’t ashamed to admit that he definitely had a more…Privileged childhood. So events like this were quite the norm for him. And he knew how to deal with just about any social scenario. “Is there a place around that I can let my Cubone out?” Lukas wondered out loud. Cubone definitely was getting restless, and the last thing he needed was for his pokemon to throw it’s bone at something of the professor’s.

“Hey, do you guys think the legend of the phantom Pokemon living in the woods outside of Pallet Town is true? Do you wanna go look for it?” Hayley asked someone walking by. She’d had a few drinks at this point, and was becoming much more curious about her surroundings than she’d been when she’d first arrived. 

[ridhikohli-blog]

“Hey!” Luca called at the person passing by. “I’m bored. How do you feel about spicing things up a little bit with a little competition. Want to play a drinking game?” He said, trying to be casual and not make it really obvious how competitive he was.

“Sit, no, sit. No, n-oh,” Roman sighed as his Rockruff ran off to greet whoever had entered the small training room, his pokeball shrinking as he tucked it back onto his belt.. They had been working on dashing before the pokemon had gotten bored, preferring to sniff out every inch of the new environment rather than listen to him. 

“Sorry, about that,” he said, scooping up the squirming pokemon before he burrowed into the nook of Roman’s arm, content to be carried, “he’s real friendly, just hates being in the ball, and listening to me, apparently.”

“So, how many other water-type trainers do you think are here?” The question was asked from a pair of glossed lips, turned up into a small, teasing grin. “I mean, I think it’s important to suss out who the ones coming for my brand are gonna be here, you know?” she added, shooting the other a smile as she swished around the contents of her cup and took a sip.
