"Why are we doing this again?" G stood next Noah, her arm wrapped around his, refusing of letting go of the only persons he could currently trust. "I don't need to capture more Pokemon, I only signed up for the traveling class so my Vulpix could get more fresh air." A sighed escaped the lips of G as she stood in line with Noah to get on the small airplane that had been rented for the trip. "Not a big fan of flying either, but I guess the Safari Zone is pretty far. Still, can't believe we cancelled our club activities for this..."

"Okay everyone, remember to stick with your buddies, do not stray from the group until we arrive to the Safari Zone. Once on boar the plane, fasten your seat belts and follow the captain's orders. Do not release your Pokemon inside for safety issues." The famous Hiker, Anthony Hiccups spoke loud and clearly, one of his many features.

G's grasp only tightened as the line began to move into the air ship. She had to be in the air, without her dear Pokemon to keep her company. What a torture! Lucky for her, that one hour flight was nothing when she had her GameBoy Advanced with the Megaman series ready to go. Hopefully, that would distract her from the idea of flying into the skies and risking falling to their deaths.

Why was she clinging to him like that?

Noah only hoped there wasn't some crazy fan that wasn't going to throw hands with him.

Although, he couldn't really complain with all this touchy stuff G was doing. Her comment had him chuckling. "Hah, fresh air? Ya can get plenty of that if ya just leave the academy. Pretty sure the greenhouse has plenty of fresh air. Ya got plane anxiety?" He asked after she held to him tighter, now wondering if Elliot also had plane anxiety and if he was here. He patted her head. "Don't worry, I've been on these plenty of times before. If there's a problem, there are Psychic-Types."

He sat down in the middle seat, letting G choose whether or not she wanted to be near the window or closer to the walking corridor. He pulled out his phone and went through some of his notifications. One of his notifications was something for his Poketube account, which he had to login. Deciding to post a picture of "himself", he found his avatar generator and made himself put up a peace sign, put the backdrop as plane seating, and gave himself a huge smile before snapping a screenshot and sending it to Chatter, or Twitter for whoever still called it that.

After sending a little update that he was going for a plane ride with a good friend of his and that he won't be streaming today or tomorrow, he spoke. "So... You bring a game? Gonna get borin', even though it won't be long." He sighed, wondering when they were going to get to flying.

Chu nodded as she gave the cookie to Bodie, smiling happily now that the girl and her Pokemon got a treat. When Bodie asked her question, Naka turned towards her and smiled. "We start at the Ilex Forest. Once we get everyone signed up, we'll tell you more with what's going to happen. There is a chance we might not get to see Celebi, however this is as much of a learning experience for field research. There are some Pokemon you will be tasked on researching for your jobs or for your own personal use, and some of those may be rare. Think of it like a career training. Even if you aren't training to research Pokemon, there are other skills you can learn that tie into this, too." With that, she noticed how late it was getting. She grabbed a megaphone, so that everyone can hear.

"Alright, everyone! Club fair's about to end. Sign up for your clubs and we'll see you for classes tomorrow!" She spoke into the device before turning it off and setting it down. Once that was done, she helped put everything away for the Project Celebi, but kept the clipboard out for those wanting to sign up before they left.

After what was essentially lunch with the club fair, Davy had signed up for a couple more. The Greenhouse club, the Sumo Wrestling Club, Project Celebi, and one of Dolan's clubs. Or maybe both, he couldn't remember which ones. Either way, besides wanting to see Carter today, he wanted to see the Rowlet. It was in the evening, and he found himself in the middle greenhouse. The temperate zone.

He was busy looking up at the trees, unsure of where the Rowlet would be. After spending a half an hour craning his neck to see up top, he decided he was going to see if Carter was in the office. Oh, but first the food! He had helped with getting the hopper filled with food a day or two ago and he wanted to see if it was topped up. After checking it, it seemed fine, but he was sure that making sure it was completely full was a good idea. So, he grabbed a ladder, set it up, hoisted a huge bag over his shoulder, climbed up, and began to dumping more feed inside.

Elliot was practically bouncing with excitement. Dewey was clutched safely in his arms as he boarded the plane.
"Just wait Dew, I'm gonna catch a new teammate for us! Then you'll have another pokemon to play and train with!"
The little sobble replied brightly, but since yesterday, his energy had been subdued.

Elliot didn't notice however, as he caught sight of Noah and G and waved at them brightly.
"Hey you guys! I didn't know you were on this field trip too. Do you know anymore about the safari zone? The info in this pamphlet is really basic."
The three-page leaflet flopped back and forth in his hand as he waved it.
"Like, what kind of pokemon could I find there? I was thinking maybe a fire type, or a grass type...ah! There are so many! I can't wait!"
Elliot paused and then turned back to them with a curious smile. "Hey, you didn't catch any of your pokemon at the safari zone did you?"

"Okay guys, just like we practiced." Carter told the three grookey sitting in a row beside a potted berry bush. Buds were just beginning to form at the tips of slender stalks, changing from green to a pale peach in colour. it was evening. After the club fair, Carter was grateful to get back into his lab, and surround himself with the simple and familiar.

Ozzy stood behind Carter, waving the new drumsticks he had been gifted in a specific timing. The grookey riased their own sticks and copied him, banging on the hollow half-branch that had been cut for them.
The sound of their playing was muffled through the glass, and Carter watched intently as the buds began to open, and then, slowly, fruit began to form. Carter paused his examinations every so often to take a small metal sampling tube and cut away a tiny section of the berry, setting each tube in a row on his desk. The tubes had been pre-labeled with the timing.

"Right, now I just need to run these..."
Carter busied himself with one of the machines in his lab, setting the tubes gently into the holders. The grookey, stopped playing, holding out the tiny hands for the reward they always received for the work.

Ozzy glanced at the evening jacket discarded on the far table. It was the one Carter had chosen for homecoming, but Ozzy remembered it as something more: it was part of the costume Carter had worn their final competition. The fabric was fine silk, a black background filled with flowers and swirling patterns of blue and copper thread. The pokemon walked over and lifted it up, admiring it. He didn't notice a small piece of folded paper fall out of the pocket and onto the table.

"Marowak wak."
Carter nearly dropped a sample.
"No, I haven't asked anyone to homecoming yet."

"Marroma?"
Ozzy could see his trainer blush from across the room.
"A--Ijdus...you know what? I don't owe you an answer to that."
Ozzy chuckled.
"I'll ask someone when I'm good and ready. Seriously, would you drop it? You're worse than mom."
"Maromaromarr."
Carter paused at that, seemingly contemplating something serious.
"I don't know Oz. I know I should just...just ask but..."

Ozzy tilted his head in question.
"..Arh! I'm afraid okay? What if I'm reading things completely wrong? What if I get totally shot down? You'd think this would get easier as you get older, well it doesn't. At least, not for me."
Ozzy set the jacket back down and went to pat Carter on the back sympathetically.

The grookey, still sitting where they had been, started to chatter unhappily, and Ozzy tugged at carter's lab coat to remind him that he still hadn't rewarded them.
"I know, I'll get them their poffins in just a second."

It was apparently much too long for the young grookey to wait.
Their task complete, they began to grow bored with the scene, and jumped onto Carter's shoulders all at once.
"Hey! Don't mess up my samples!" He cried in surprise.

Carter stumbled and all three grookey leapt into the rafters.
"Ha, real funny guys. Come on, I have an appointment after this. I promised I'd help Davy with his homecoming outfit..." Then he froze.
One of the grookey had something clutched in his paw: It was the folded piece of paper that had fallen out of the jacket pocket when Ozzy had lifted it up. Carter recognized it immediately.

"Oh no."
The pokemon took off squealing with delight, it squeezed through the air vent and vanished out into the temperate zone.
Carter came bursting out of his office, dashing at full speed as the grookey ran along the tree limbs overhead.
"Get back here you hairy little pickpocket!"

The grookey leapt, sailing right over Davy's head as he stood on the ladder.
Carter rounded the corner and slid to a halt as soon as he caught sight of the other guy.

"Davy!" Carter exclaimed with an equal measure of delight and panic. His eyes darted to the little imp as it waved the paper tauntingly in the tree nearby.
"Oh, you don't have to fill the feeder...but thanks. I...appreciate it. Um , so! How did you find the fair? Join anymore good clubs?"

As Davy finished up the last needed bag, he had heard a familiar voice calling something a hairy pickpocket. Raising an eyebrow, he looked over and saw a flash of green overhead, and a Carter in pursuit. He looked over at the Grookey, who was taunting Carter with a slip of paper.

Confusion slipped in as to what was happening, but he understood mischievous sorts tended to act like this when they didn't get something they wanted. Carter's asking him of how his day had been had also confused Davy. Did he not want the slip of paper back? Maybe he didn't want Davy to see the paper?

Nonsense, he was going to help anyway.

He smiled as he waved at Carter. "Howdy, Carter. And of course I was going to top up the feeder. I don't want you throwing your back out or falling when I'm not here to catch you. Fair was good once most of the crowd thinned out. Got to some other clubs. There's a cool sumo wrestling club, and I also joined one of Dolan's clubs. I don't remember which one I joined or if I joined both, but-" He then shrugged, climbing down the ladder before setting the empty sack on the floor. "Now, Grookey." He looked up at the Grookey, a smile on his face.

"If you give me that slip, I got a treat for you." He held out a collection of berries in his outstretched palm that were a variety of flavors that even a picky Pokemon would find at least one it liked, but his hand soon closed over them, balling it into a soft fist. "But you have to give me the slip. Deal?" He held out his hand once more, his muscles ready to be quick on the draw if the Grookey didn't give back the slip.

Carter blushed furiously at the thought of Davy catching him the evening before.
"S-sumo club huh?" carter tried to change the subject. "That sounds pretty intense."

Then Davy began speaking to the miscreant Grookey that had pilfered his precious paper.
"OH, you don't have to--it's fine really, just..it's nothing!"

The grookey, on the promise of berries, obeyed Davy immediately, and clambered down the tree, leapt onto Davy's arm and offered the folded sheet.
Carter paled. He couldn't move, only watch in frozen anticipation to see if Davy would open it.
Outwardly the sheet was blank, creased and worn, as if it had been in a pocket for most of the day.

Spoiler: Paper contents

The paper contained something very curious:
A seemingly random series of circles and lines that to some, may have appeared like a drawing, but the hand was so bad it was absolutely indistinguishable:
There may have been some things that looked like trees, others, slightly smaller trees? Some circles here, a long tangle of lines there.
Overall it was a mess of chicken scratch that would make sense only to the one who had penned it.

Davy hadn't caught Carter's blush, nor did he let himself be stopped by the modest Carter. Of course, he was going to help. That's what a friend was for. So, as the Grookey hopped on his arm, Davy grabbed the paper and opened his palm for the Grookey to take his fill. He looked down at the paper and was confused. He was about to turn when it slipped out of his hand. He grabbed it with the same hand quickly and accidentally slipped his thumb between the folded page to see...

Lines? Circles?

Once the Grookey got off his arm, he handed him the slip of paper. "Didn't know you were planning on putting down trees, Carter. Can I help? Why are you so embarrassed about me seeing planting plans? Unless..." He thought for a second, screwing his face as he thought hard. It was as if a lightbulb went off in his head and he snapped his fingers. "It's code! For... Something..." The confidence he had in that answer vanished and fizzled like a dying light just as soon as he said that, as he was now already questioning if that was correct.

Clearly, he didn't understand what was on that sheet of paper.

Whatever the Grookey didn't take, he pocketed it in a satchel most would find on the side of a saddle, which was attached to a utility belt against his side. Wanting to make sure Carter wasn't too caught up on the note like he was, he moved on. "Anyway, there was something I was going to ask, but I completely forgot what it was." He gave a hearty laugh, scratching the back of his head, cheeks turning pink. "Or maybe... I forgot how to say it? Eh, either way. I remember we had plans for something we made with someone. Dolan, was it? For the uh... Schoolcoming?" He thought hard again, thinking that was right. "No no, it wasn't that." He then shrugged, going back to an easy smile. "Was going to ask if you remembered what we were going to do. And uh, since it's one of those social events, I don't know if I'll be comfortable being there without someone I know with me." He paused, unsure of how to ask this. His cheeks turned pink as he realized just how this was going to be taken and what he was asking of him. His throat felt really dry all of a sudden.

"Uh..." His voice broke, and he cleared his throat. "W-Would you like to come with me? Y-you know, just in case. N-no point in going if I don't go with someone, and uh... You're the only one besides your greenhouse friends that know of my uh... Social anxiety? I'm not sure if it's that in particular, but yeah, it's hard to tell any other person about that and I don't think they'll uh... Care?" Why was he trying to be cool now? It comically didn't fit, especially with the stuttering and the over-explanation, but he didn't want to overload Carter with whatever emotions he was dealing with, no matter how much Davy liked him and needed him in order to enjoy a social event. He can see he was flustered, and it didn't take a genius to see he was very confused with whatever he was feeling. So, he wanted to see if the always helpful Carter was going to come with him.

Otherwise, it's likely he wouldn't go to the 'schoolcoming.'

He'd seen it. Carter suddenly wished one of the dugtrio would just dig a pit right under him and let him fall through, but Davy's comment surprised him.
"Huh? Putting down--ah, um. I guess the drawing is pretty bad..."
It wasn't a lie, but Carter was more than grateful his terrible skills had prevented Davy from gleaning the true intent of what was scribbled there.
Then Davy put forth another theory. Carter paused and then he laughed.
"Haha, it's not code, not beyond the indecipherable nature of my artistic skills at least."

Carter accepted the paper back graciously when he could.
The topic changed then, to something Carter was more than excited about.
"It's uh, "homecoming"." Carter interjected softly.

Davy seemed nervous. Of course! His social anxiety. Carter hadn't thought of that, maybe he wouldn't even want to go...As his brain started spinning on all the worst possible theories, he almost didn't hear the timid request, but something at the back of his mind had heard, and snapped him back to attention.

"You...you want to go with me?" Carter looked simultaneously like he'd just won the lottery and been slapped in the face. He looked down at the insult to drawing on the paper in his hand. Ozzy saw it too and gave his trainer an appalled look. It was truly a crime against art.

"I...uh..." He began to stutter, then paused. He glanced down at Ozzy, who gave him a resolute look. Carter drew in a deep breath.
"I can't answer that yet." He said definitively. "But! I can answer it tomorrow. After 8...here. If..uh, if you'll come?"

Davy stayed confused on the note, now wondering if it was supposed to be something special he wasn't meant to see. He did say his drawing was pretty bad, but that had a double meaning Davy struggled to determine the other side of what he meant by that. It was an absolutely terrible drawing, but it wasn't like Davy was able to do any better. He just had pretty penmanship.

At Carter's correction, he stared blankly into space before chuckling. "Ah, yes, that's what I meant."

Davy stood there, anxiety slowly creeping up to capture his heart as Carter repeated what he asked but more succinctly. He nodded, but the longer Carter didn't answer, the quicker his cheeks paled. Was he too forward? What was he thinking about?

The stuttering happened on his end now, but the answer he received was... Odd? To say the least? He didn't say no, but he also didn't say yes either. He would just have to wait for tomorrow? Did he have something important? After 8... "After 8 when? AM or PM?" He then smiled, an idea popped up in his head that cheered him up. "I'll just appear at both times!" He said definitively, then laughed a little. "But yes, I'll be here when you want me to. But uhm... May I ask why? Need to work on projects or finish something up?"

At least he didn't get full on rejected, but it was still in the air and Davy wasn't that great at parsing emotion when his was all over the place. He wished Carter had a much simpler answer as it didn't bode well for his anxiety. He did try to cheer himself up, but there was a slight pain in his smile, a twinge of awkward uncertainty. Carter had put him in limbo and he wasn't sure how to handle that besides working or doing homework.

The ball at his side wiggled, but didn't break. He put his hand on it, his smile widening. "It's okay, Bessy. I'm fine." Patting the ball, he stared at Carter more, trying to parse what he was feeling, but finding it incredibly difficult. "Are you... Not up for the scho-... er... Homecoming thing?" He hoped that was it, the confusion edging into his expression with the furrow of his brow and lessening the smile he had before.

Why was this so difficult?

"PM!" Carter added quickly. "Don't show up in the morning...um.. it's...There's something I want you to see."
Carter studied Davy's face carefully.
"Are you worried? You're worried. Please don't be worried! I promise it'll all be clear tomorrow." He looked into Davy's eyes, trying to seem as reassuring as he could.
"I do want to go to homecoming."

Ozzy appeared from behind him, the jacket in his clawed hands.
"Oh, seguey! That is actually why you're here now. I said I'd help you find something to wear for homecoming."
Carter took the jacket from his pokemon and lead the way back to his office.
"If we're going to get you some decent evening wear this late and without breaking the bank, then we need Dolan, down at the contest halls. There is no one better for the job. While we're there I can make some adjustments to my own suit too."

Carter finished loading the samples into the machine, handed the nearby grookey the promised treats from his bag, grabbed his keys and locked the door.
"Come on, they aren't far."

*~*~*

The halls were dark mostly, save for a few lights at the back. The sunset reflected off the door glass, sliding into a blur as Carter opened the door.
"Dolan! You in here!" He called before leading the way past rows of shadowed seats.
"The costume department's at the back."

It was almost too dark to see, but Carter new the layout well, and the light from the back rooms was like a beacon in the black.
They emerged out into a lit corridor, lined with more doors. Carter lead Davy to the end, and a set of large double doors.
There, on racks, shelves and stuffed into every available surface, were clothes. Some were flamboyant, with transition sequins, velvet, feathers and rhinestones. Others more demure, black tuxedos and slender evening gowns.

There were hats and gloves, boas, fans, everything and anything a performer could want, and quite a bit that could serve the purpose of an elegant ensemble for a school dance.
"I don't really know the sorting system here, so...I guess we just start looking."
Carter took his jacket to one of the central tables, that was lined with fabric rulers and littered with scissors, pins, thread and a myriad of other items unknown to anyone not part of this world.
He glanced back, wanting to take in Davy's reaction to the costume department in all its chaotic abundance.

Upon hearing it was 8 PM, Davy chuckled. It was so urgent that it was a bit comical. But hearing that Carter wanted to show him something as a surprise, it was as if everything perked up within him. Like, a present? A surprise gift?

Well, hell yeah! He definitely was going to let the surprise happen!

However, he was still slightly concerned and a bit upset that his question wasn't met with a straight answer. He was unsure of what Carter was feeling at the moment, but he was suddenly being stared at. His eyes widened, cheeks burned pink. Why was he staring so much? Was there something on his face?

Oh, he was picking up his emotions. That was... really sweet. If he didn't want him to worry, then he won't. It must be something good if he doesn't want him to be worried about it. He just nodded with a more gracious smile, the anxiety not there anymore, especially after he said he was going to the homecoming. Perfect!

That's what that was! Dress up! Davy snapped his fingers and chuckled. "That's what that was...!" He chuckled, the pieces all coming together finally.

He walked with Carter to the contest hall, finding the night a bit on the spooky side. It wasn't even that dark, and yet he felt a chill up his spine, like he shouldn't even be here.

The darkness and silence of the contest hall had felt so odd that it felt like he was stepping into another alien world. When Carter yelled, Davy jumped slightly, sticking close to him. He didn't really mind dark places and actually liked midnight walks the odd times when he couldn't sleep. But inside of a building that was owned by an organization like a school past hours?

Just a little unnerving.

The darkness wasn't something Davy was accustomed to either, so he almost tripped on something or nearly bumped into Carter. He had to carefully walk forward, his hands out to touch the walls or find Carter as a guide.

Finally, they made it, and a whole new world was open to Davy. He didn't think there were so much stuff that went into costuming. It was cool up on stage, sure, but he had no idea how much work was put in it. So seeing it here and now...

Davy was speechless.

Davy watched as Carter went to do his thing, then looked around on his own. His eyes darted around at all the colors, glittery things, soft things, gems-

Soft things...

Being a sucker for the soft stuff, Davy carefully walked over to the box of differently colored boas. He's never touched one before, let alone wore one. Grabbing it made his eyes widen.

"So soft..." He uttered to himself, picking up a red one, then a pink one. Then a yellow, a green, and blue one. He was trying to remember how those people wore the boas (like a scarf?) and he tried replicating that. To some hilarity.

He had put five of the ones he grabbed on, throwing them around his neck and burying his face in the softness. Feeling like he was being stared at, he looked over to see Carter, and smiled, only the tops of his cheeks and his smiling eyes can be seen from under the boas.

"These are so sooooft...!" He exclaimed excitedly, his voice going up to an odd falsetto, squeaky pitch from how in awe he was.

Carter stared.
"I want to make him this happy every day.." He whispered under his breath. Only his pokemon, Ozzy, caught it, and he slung his bone club behind his shoulders with a satisfied smile.

Davy was having so much fun it made Carter want to join in. His jacket could wait a little longer, he decided.
Carter ducked into a rack of clothes, emerging a few moments later in a flamboyant pirate captain's coat, deep red velvet with gold trim, and a dramatic black tricorn hat, complete with a drooping white plume.

"Hey Davy! Look at me!" Carter called excitedly, and proceeded to adopt the persona of a salty sea pirate.

"Avast ye lan-lubber! Gimme all yer gold an' swag! Or I'll send ye down ta the watery depths!"
He brandished a plastic sword, which wobbled as he swing it, and the hat was too big, so it fell down over his eyes, nearly knocking his glasses from his face.

Carter pressed his lips together, trying to hold the act, but he couldn't, and doubled over laughing.

"Howabout you try something?" He prompted once his laughter had been reined in.

"Mhm." G wasn't at all too interested in Noah's attempt to make the flight seem less dangerous, she wasn't born yesterday! Still, willing to face her fears, she took the window seat, while also pulling the curtain down. One step at a time. "Maybe I'm just a little afraid."

Just as the gaming girl was taking out her portable console, Noah asked if she had brought something. Well of course she did, but it was a one player game. She wasn't expecting him to be unprepared or think they were going to share. Otherwise, she would've brought something more multiplayer. She figured the best solution was to give him the cold shoulder. She leaned against and rested her head on his shoulder as she turned the GameBoy Advance on, chuckling a bit, teasing him for not bringing something of his own.

When Elliot arrived, G's eyes quickly fell on him, a smile spreading on her face. "Hi! Join us." She had secured no strangers sitting with them and that was good enough for her. "I have never gone to a Safari Zone, but I did bring my boots, just in case." She replied to the boy, before getting comfortable with Noah again, focusing on her game. "Let me know when we get there."

Davy looked at Carter as he got up from his jacket. He was about to ask what he was doing when Carter disappeared into the rack of clothes. Letting go of the boas and letting them drape down his shoulders, he tried to peek in, only to have surprise as Carter appeared wearing something hilariously big for him. Well, the hat, was.

Davy took a moment to look at Carter and realized something.

There wasn't anything Carter could wear that would make him look bad.

Even though the silly pirate costume was rather hilarious - coupled by the wobble of the sword as he got into character and the hat drooping - Carter looked incredibly cute. Davy's cheeks turned pink again. He saw Carter's lips trying to hold back his laugh, which only had Davy snorting a bit as he tried to hold back his laughter. As soon as Carter lost himself, Davy laughed with him, finding the whole act hilariously cute.

Once they got over their laughter, Davy looked around at the other costumes, but didn't even know where to begin. That's when he spied something.

Oh, hell yeah!

Taking off the boas and setting them aside for a moment, he ducked into the clothing racks with an impish smile and practically disappeared despite his height, only his brown hair appearing above the rack. He came out several moments later (there was a bit of grunting due to something not fitting on right), but as soon as he came out, he came out with a flair much like the very Elvis from years ago. Elvis being a contest star and an accomplished singer, Davy's family was a fan of the oldies but goodies and Davy had seen enough of Elvis's dancing and singing to perform something similar to him.

He had on a glittery, gold coat with a black trim around the lapels over a black dress shirt, the coat's buttons comically looking like they were holding on for dear life with how tight it was on Davy. What made it better was that he was only half-dressed, wearing his faded blue jeans with it. He had found a toy mic that was a bright, bright red that was practically an eyesore to look at. But Davy was rocking it regardless as if it didn't bother him, having practically slid out of the clothing rack as he sang surprisingly well, with the authentic rock sound and hitting the notes. Though, it's likely he practiced this song considering he heard it a ton, Carter didn't need to know that. It was the closest country-esque sound a rock song could get, and that's what he was doing, his body in a perpetual step lunge for the first bit as his leg twisted and bounced like Elvis's did. As he went to the chorus, he stood up a bit more and just jammed out all loose-like.

"The warden threw a party in the county jail~
The prison band was there and they began to wail~
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing~
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing~

Let's rock~
Everybody, let's rock~
Everybody in the whole cell block~
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock~​

Davy chuckled, as he finished, his cheeks absolutely red, but he didn't care. "I usually just sing country, but I can't get enough of Elvis." He then looked at the coat and chuckled. "Oh dear... I need to take this off before I rip the buttons off." He gave a very wide, yet playful grimace and then chuckled as he saved the poor buttons.

Noah Wiley​

Location: Plane to Safari Zone, Johto
Date: August 16, Wednesday
Interactions: G, Elliot Harrow
Mentions: N/A
Hecotoro SilverFlight
Noah's Pokemon:
Tails the Kantonian Vulpix
Siri the Rotom
Poly the Porygon
Whipper-Zapper the Helioptile

Noah raised an eyebrow at G's subdued reaction. She was apparently not chillaxed, and he let out a sigh. Hearing G's admittance, he gave a cheeky, yet soft smile. "It's okay, I w's afraid on my first time, too." Seeing that she pulled out a game, Noah smiled a bit wider. Well, if she had something to play, that was even better. She was apparently being silent and then chuckling about something, but Noah simply ignored it. "Oh, ya did bring a game. Good, at least you'll be distracted then." He patted her head with his other hand as she was resting against his shoulder. He let her rest against him, not really minding it too much. If she needed all the comfort she could get, he was willing to give it to her.

As he got buckled up, he heard a familiar voice. Looking up, he saw Elliot and smiled. "Yo. Gonna get myself a fifth Pokemon probably. As well as get some extra credit from ol' Anthony over there, so I can slack off more next class." He looked over at Anthony and chuckled. "Don't tell 'im I said that." He chuckled.

As to Elliot's question, he nodded. "Just that it's a manmade nature preserve to preserve the lives of rare 'n' near-extinct wild Pokemon. Ya can find just about anythin' ya want there. Warden seems a pretty chill dude, too. But uh... Haven't been there yet, so that's all I know. I probably don't sound more informative than a brochure, huh?" He chuckled sheepishly. "But yeah, there's a lot more than just those types. I think that safari has a handful of every type of Pokemon if I could guess. Actually... Here." He pulled out his phone, Siri waking up. "Before we take off, go to the Johto Safari Zone Pokemon listings 'n' download the webpage. Then go to airplane mode." With a confirmation buzz, the Rotom did as she was told, then sent him the downloaded page, which he looked through. "C'mere. Ya need to sit down 'n' buckle up anyway." He said as he heard Anthony near the front of the plane telling everyone to get buckled. He showed Elliot the downloaded web page, which had a full list of Pokemon with their types and names. The top of the list said "More coming soon. This list is subject to change at any given moment."

Being asked if he got any of his Pokemon at the Safari Zone, Noah shook his head and chuckled. "Nope. Tails, my Vulpix, was a gift from my school when I was in Phenac City, Orre. The school's also a pre-gym, a sort of gym buildin' that trains trainers how to fight so they may go out 'n' journey Orre with some protection 'n' join the tournaments. Battlin' and specifically double battlin' was pretty ingrained into Orre's society, 'n' I got pretty bored with it. Seeing as I was bored with it, the pre-gym directer, Justy, gave me Poly the Porygon from his computer systems. But I'm sure after our stunt, he was givin' the Porygon to me as he needed to update his systems 'n' he had a better Pokemon to for computer security." He chuckled sheepishly before continuing. "I got Siri the Rotom when I got my phone from my parents, but they wanted me to get a battle Rotom, as well. So that's what they ended up giving me, a Rotom who can protect me while also helping me with my programmin' code. As for Whipper-Zapper, my Helioptile, he's my only Pokemon I legit caught." His voice went all hush-hush here, as he didn't want anybody else knowing he did a bad in Kalos. "I caught him on Route 9 when he helped me hide from the cops because I tried breakin' into the Ambrette City's museum at night to see how the programs worked to revive Pokemon." He chuckled, shaking his head, his voice returning to a more normal volume. "But yeah, I think I'm gonna find a Ground-Type or somethin'." He finished, resting his head against the seat with tired eyes.

Plane rides always made him sleepy. Once they take off, he's going to collapse into sleep and rest against G's head if she's still resting on his shoulder.

Carter's hand flew to his mouth as Davy came out dressed as the famous contest star. He could barely contain the laughter.
"If you only knew how crazy my parents are about this guy." He said through fits of it.
The best part was, Davy's impression was good! He moved and sang just like him.
Carter's cheeks hurt from grinning.

"That was incredible!" He clapped and as Davy ended his performance Carter pretended to swoon, collapsing into a pile of mending by the table.
He scrambled up after a moment, taking off the pirate coat and hat and setting them down. He noticed Davy having trouble with the costume and walked over.
"Here, lemme help." He offered, taking the collar of the jacket gently so Davy could escape it.

It took him more than a moment to realize how close they were, and once Davy was free he stepped back with a sheepish laugh. Not knowing what else to do, he gave a thumbs up awkwardly.

"Okay, my turn." Carter looked around the room carefully as he stroked his chin. Then he saw it.
"OH! I got one! It's pretty old though!"
He all but dove into another rack, and in a few minutes he stepped out in a beautiful blue-velvet jacket, with a crisp white shirt and black tie and a fedora slanted in his hair, which he had hastily tried to smooth down.
It took some effort to take the old 40's stand mic replica out from behind the racks of clothes, but he managed it, and put on the best Sinatra impression he had ever done.

"I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you."

Carter was not the best singer, but he more than made up for it with the character he put into that performance: with an easy smile and a few fancy dance steps, he pointed at Davy when the song called for it.

"I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high
With some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Yet I get a kick
You give me a boot
I get a kick out of you!"

Carter turned his head to the side away from the mic as he ended the song. He finished by looking up with the goofiest grin.

Joss Vanberg~3rd Year Purity

A concert in the sun and a growing club that unexpectedly found himself now belonging in it. The odd van popping up with a group of showy Pokémon hunters….. or were they watchers? Legends be known yet always hunted in some way or form. Meanwhile as the times changed for the day and a trip to some safari announced at some point. Joss having spoken with Eve and rocked with Ozzy got up from his spot and put his guitar at his back using the strap overlapping with his shoulder bag a bit. Returned his Pokémon pals to their respective pokeballs and found his way toward the small plane that appeared like the right mode of travel to the safari zone. A group boarding the flight as he casually got aboard and found a seat near the back to quietly chill and relax maybe nap a bit…. Who knows really, but a chill trip and a day away from school seemed like a nice idea. After all with club plans and what not being on hold it seemed, not really feeling the child labor the van people seemed to offer in efforts to track a legendary Pokémon. Total stranger danger vibes there….

Joss though was cool with a lax trip and soaring to the safari. No way any work could be found out there, right?

Date: August 15, Tuesday
Interaction: Carter Grey

Davy's Pokemon:
Blukberry the Kantonian Tauros
Dillinger the Paldean Combat Tauros
Apollo the Paldean Blaze Tauros
Blue the Paldean Aqua Tauros
Bessy the Miltank
Diana the Bouffalant
Azu the Azurill

Seeing and hearing Carter absolutely enjoy his performance left him beaming and buzzing. He's never heard Carter laugh that hard and he honestly wanted to keep that up. He bowed upon getting a compliment, and seeing Carter swoon like that too had him laughing. He was concerned for a moment, but seeing as he planned to land in a pile had that concern fade away as quickly as it came.

Davy got his help in getting a few of the tight buttons undone so they weren't screaming into the void for being tugged on that hard, but that's when Davy realized how close they were. He stared at him like a Deerling in headlights as his cheeks slowly turned pink, only to join in with a sheepish laugh of his own.

Taking off the coat and dress shirt to reveal he just put it on over his actual shirt, he turned to see what else he could wear for his next turn. Only to find something a lot more suited to his style.

He got it set in a pile and waited for Carter to get finished, and once Carter came out, Davy's eyes widened.

"Sinatra?" He asked, though his question was rhetorical as he was grinning from ear to ear with Carter's performance. He didn't need to sing well to be the star in Davy's mind, he was doing so well regardless, and being pointed at really made him shy. He had a silly smile, his eyes having trouble trying to keep on him after he did that, cheeks reddening.

When he finished, Davy clapped his hands quickly and laughed heartily. "That was awesome! You should wear more fedoras. You look great in it." As if he was reminded of something, his grin became even sillier. "Now, where's that guitar...?" He said to himself as he disappeared into the rack, then came out holding a tuned guitar and wearing a cowboy hat, a plaid flannel that fit this time but wasn't buttoned, and leather chaps. It would be great if he had his boots, but he wasn't taking off his shoes. He did find a guitar, and while it was a prop, he was able to tune it to make it sound marginally correct.

He looked so relaxed, as if he really was in his element. He started a rather upbeat country song, the back of his foot hitting to the time of the song. His voice sounded a lot more suited for country, his natural singing voice having that country twang coupled with his rural Almian accent slipping through as he sang as himself, not the Hunter Brothers.

"It's the sound of the gravel on a back road.~
It's a Whiscash pulling on a liiiine.~
It's the screen door swinging on a front poooorch.~
It's the Kricketots chirping in the niiiight.~

It's the sound of a tractor on a wheat field,~
And a herd of Tauros running wild.~
It's a hammer pounding on nails on an old red barn door - right on tiiime.~

Yeeeaaah,~
That's the rhythm of a laid back country state of miiind.~
Yeeaah,~
Kick your feet up if your down, c'mon, won't you stay awhiiiile?~"​

As he made a mention of Carter, his eyes flashed from his guitar to him and he gave him a wink.

"All you gotta do is feel the beat,~
Get into the groove,~
Just roll with me toniiiight.~

Yeeeeeaaaaah,~
That's the rhythm of a laid back country state of miiind.~
Yeeeeaaaaah,~
Kick your feet up if your down, c'mon, won't you stay awhiiiile?~"​

He had sadly cut that song in half, but it was one of his favorites he sang often enough and knew the chords to on the guitar. While the guitar wasn't tuned properly as it was just a prop, it didn't detract much from the rather upbeat, country song about living and working in the rural side of the lands.

Once he ended it, he gave another wink and a courtesy nod with a tip of his hat towards Carter, swinging the guitar effortlessly to rest over his shoulder by holding the neck of it.

Was Davy being smooth with wanting to bring Carter to see his Tauros farm and by proxy his home? Yes, but he didn't outright say it.

Laughing a bit, he stuffed a thumb in his pocket. "How'd ya like?" As if it lingered, his rural Almian accent came out a bit strong and he chuckled from it.

"Y-you think so?" Carter thumbed the rim of the fedora thoughtfully, clearly interested in Davy's opinion on his appearance.
He never stopped beaming. He couldn't remember the last time he had so much fun!

When Davy reappeared again Carter was clearly impressed. Davy wore the country look like he invented it, and with the guitar to complete the ensemble, Carter mouthed a silent "wow" as he began to play and sing.

Ozzy did not waste the opportunity, but took his new drumsticks and found several items that carried a decent sound. He played percussion to Davy's guitar, lending more power to the song.

By the end of it Carter was leaning over the table with a dreamy look on his face. Had he always liked country? He did now that was certain.
He almost didn't hear Davy's question.
"Huh? Oh! I mean...just. You were...just...incredible." He practically sighed the last word, and in the silence that followed Carter slowly started to realize it might be getting awkward.

He chuckled. "Well, I think you won the game, I don't think anyone could top that."

He pulled his jacket over from across the measuring table and began to examine the stitching where the jacket had been taken in for him. He needed to let it back out if it was going to fit him again.
"Where did you learn to sing like that?"

Elliot grinned at G as she greeted him, then got to downloading the information as Noah instructed. While he was doing that he listened to how Noah got all of his pokemon.
"I can't believe you tried to break into a museum." Elliot kept his voice low conspiratorially. "Did you tell G these stories?" Clearly he thought it was cool, though Elliot was not about to go breaking into places again, not unless there was a very good reason.

"I don't think I could ever choose a pokemon...they're all so cool. One's just gonna have to choose me."
The young boy could see his friends getting sleepy. He picked a seat close by and settled in, placing Dewey gently on his lap. The sobble curled up like a cat and Elliot's eyes began to droop as he rubbed the pokemon's back softly.

He just couldn't wait until they arrived...

Dolan began walking down the hall, headed to the contest hall where he'd meet up with Carter and possibly Davy. He got to the contest hall early and was adjusting the cuffs on one of his contest coats. Dolan heard Carter call out. Dolan was back stage with Rook.

"Uraff!" A small bark could be heard near Carter as Hank sneakily approached him. Standing on his hind legs, he gave carter a friendly wave.  Smoke began to quickly fill part of the room. When the smoke Faded, Dolan was standing in the center of it, posing for dramatic flair.

"Where fashion is needed, I'll be there...! How's your day treating you, Carter? Fabulously I hope" Dolan asked.

*August 16th*

G felt Noah's head rest on hers. She didn't think much of it, her concentration was trying to be able to speed run the game in her hands. However, things became complicated when Noah started to snuggle with her?! She couldn't continue playing, with Elliot there, she felt embarrassed! She tried to giggle away, but to no vein. She even tried harshly whispering to to him, but to no result. The rest of the trick was just G sitting there, her cheeks crimson red as she failed to get released from his grasp. It a way though, it had worked, since G had completely ignored the fact that they were on an airplane.

"We're here!" Anthony called out to the group as the plane safely landed and opened its doors to let the students out.

"NOAH!" G finally called out, the red in her face being a mixed of feelings as she attempted to wake up the geek hanging on to her. "We're here!" She said in between breaths, only to realize she had caused a scene. To make things worst, she heard a camera snap somewhere in between the students getting up to leave.

Anthony chuckled heartily as he made sure the students got off safely. Once they stepped out they would see the front area of the Safari Zone, which included all kinds of shops from the locals, a PokeMart and a Pokemon Center. The entrance to the Safari was at the end, always looking lively and decorated. Trainers of all kind, workers, shop keepers, Pokemon Fans, and many more people were already buzzing around the area.

G got up once Noah was awake and stormed away. She held her backpack tight to her chest and scurried ahead, eager from some fresh air to calm herself down. Once outside, she waited patiently for her companions, even if she was upset with one of them, she wasn't about to try and make friends with another group. At least Noah and Elliot were trust worthy.

"Stay close everyone!" Anthony stood in front of the group, waving his arm. "Follow me to the entrance, remember no Pokemon of your own allowed inside, they will be taken care of for you. You have 20 Safari Balls or 2 Hours, when either of those two is consumed, please make your way back to the entrance. Now, let's go, adventure awaits!"

  Anna Keys approached the grand school with the air of someone who had better places to be. Her Quaquaval, Razzmatazz, walked beside her in a delicate manner that noted the disparity between the two. She took her sunglasses off and hung them on her shirt, which was the school uniform with a dark red shirt instead of a white one. She knew she'd be dress coded, but she didn't really care.
  
  "All right, guys. Come on out!" she said, tossing the other 5 Pokeballs on her belt. They retracted back into the belt once the Pokemon inside were out of them. They all stood around her in an impressive display of her Pokemon's prowess. "We'll be living here now, so we'd best make ourselves comfy," she said, and saw Spritz looking craftily around. "Spritz, no tags here," she added. Its ears drooped a little in disappointment. Mic Check squealed in delight and began to attempt to befriend every human and Pokemon it saw, barely being able to contain itself.
  
  Tox Rox, Arsenica, and Razzmatazz remained at her side, while the remaining two began to explore the entrance of the school, Spritz looking around to see if Anna was watching before looking for a place to tag. Chonkers sniffed around curiously.
  
  This place was gonna be fun.
