Watering the Plants [Dylan]

[Isolde Spencer]

And again, she would come here to relax or to simply let her Pokemon play with each other and have a good time. Maria the Lotad did enjoy dancing while she was outside, mostly because she was probably born to dance. Gawain seemed to be curiously looking at the shops while Espella watched Maria dance. The Cottonee became fascinated at how the Lotad danced gracefully and she wanted to take part in it as well. Isolde could see that the two had bonded well and to her, they were like her own children. Meanwhile, Luke the Inkay chatted merrily with the Pumpkaboo as if they were befriending each other. Some of the people that had come downtown to shop had glanced at the two Pokemon chatting with each other before turning their attention to a store that had the latest clothing.

Maria stopped dancing just to look at the pretty flowers and Isolde spoke to her, "I'll teach you and the others how to tend to a garden properly sometime." Maria happily nodded and she continued to look at the flowers. She wanted to learn about the wondrous art of gardening and her trainer would be happy to teach her.

Dylan's shimmering sapphire eyes widen as he slowly made his way through the city. Lately, he had been so busy with training his Pokemon and catching new Pokemon to enhance his gaining team that he had failed to take a little time off to explore the life Downtown. The building were massive, a lot better than majority of the building back home and the streets were almost overly crowded with wondering tourist and loud music. "Whoa, this place is pretty cool, huh guys?" He smiled, glancing over at the Froakie hanging from his right shoulder then over towards the Shellos sitting on his left shoulder. The two water Pokemon simply nodded their heads and flashed their trainer a warm smile. He would then glance down at the Marill, who appeared to have been bouncing along to the rhythm of the loud music blasting throughout the city. The young blue-haired trainer was quite pleased with seeing his Pokemon also enjoying their small break from training. It wasn't too long that Dylan's azure eyes would turn away from his Marill and glance over towards his Lotad, only to notice that the energetic Grass/Water Pokemon was nowhere to be found at the moment. "Cadence?" He called out, someone bewildered by the fact that the small Pokemon had managed to make an escape. "Perfect. It's going to take forever to found her in a place like this." He sighed, wishing that he would have bought Sora, his Shiny Swablu, along with him. It would have been a lot easier to search for his missing Pokemon with a bird's eye view. "Everyone, keep your eyes open for Cadence. She couldn't have wonder off too far. At least, I hope not." He sighed again before roaming through the city in search of his missing Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Cadence was currently performing an elegant and graceful dance in the middle of a crowd not too far from a small garden. Surprisingly enough, she managed to put on quite a show with dazzling dance moves and cute appearance. After she finished performing her little dance, the crowd of humans and Pokemon, who had gathered around her quickly gave her a loud applause. Bowing her Lily Pad-like head, she would flash her audience a friendly smile before wondering off to sniff the pretty colors in the garden. She seemed to have overlooked the blonde hair trainer and her Pokemon for the most part, until she noticed another Lotad taking in the lovely scent of the flowers. Smiling, Cadence would slowly made her way over towards the other Lotad and greet her with a friendly "Lo-Lo!"


A few feet away from the garden, Dylan continued to called out his Pokemon's name, hoping to find her before the sun starts to set. "Cadence, where are you?!" He called out, inching a little closer towards the garden with his other Water Pokemon trailing behind him.  

[Isolde Spencer]

Pretty soon, Maria began to notice another Lotad and responded back, "Lo! Lotad!" Maria seemed to think that this Lotad might have been separated by her trainer. Isolde noticed her as well and spoke to the other one. "Oh, did you get lost? Someone may be still looking for you." Actually, the two Lotad might be the same species and gender,, so it was pretty difficult to tell the two of them apart. Gawain floated near where the garden was and cried out with a confused expression. "Pumpkaboo? Pumpkabooo..." The pumpkin spirit had a hard time trying to figure out which Lotad was Maria and it was certain that the other Lotad's trainer might confuse one for the other.

All of Isolde's Pokemon were confused as to which Lotad was their real teammate, so they just tried to figure out which one is which. Neither did they know that a mishap was about to happen.

A few more minutes passed before Dylan and his Pokemon turned their attention towards the small garden. It didn't take extremely long for Dylan's keen blue eyes to fall onto the sight of a fairly attractive blonde trainer, who appeared to have been surrounded by quite a few grass type Pokemon. Brushing his fingers through his short blue hair, he would soon start to make his way over towards the other trainer. "Umm excuse me miss. I'm looking for my Lotad. Have you seen her around?" He asked, failing to glance down at the two female Lotad conversing not too far from them. He would flash the female trainer a charming smile before allowing his shimmering blue eyes to admire her fine features. 

It wasn't until Dylan's Marill tugged on his pants leg and pointed towards the two Lotad that he noticed them standing a couple of feet away from them. "Oh my..." He spoke, somewhat speechless as he attempted to figure about which Lotad actually belonged to him. "Umm... I assume that one of these Lotad belongs to you?" He asked, turning his attention back over towards Isolde. Hopefully, she would be able to point out which of the Pokemon belonged to her. 

[Isolde Spencer]

"Uh...yes. The truth is, the two of them look really the same, but I can try calling her name just in case. Maria, can you come over here?" She spoke as she glanced over at the Lotads. Maria had heard her name being called and walked over to her trainer, leaving the other to be deduced as the other trainer's Lotad. The other trainer had a charming look about him and he looked like he was a Water type specialist, considering that he did have other Water type Pokemon with him. "By the way, my name is Isolde and this is Gawain, Espella, Luke and of course, Maria." She spoke as she introduced the Pumpkaboo, Cottonee, Inkay and Lotad one by one.

"Pumpkaboo. Pumpkabooo..." Gawain said as he breathed out a sigh of relief that Maria wasn't about to be accidentally taken away by a trainer they did not know. Luke patted him with a reassuring cry of "Inkay. Inkay." Well at least the misunderstanding was cleared up in a matter of mere guessing.

A sigh of relief escaped from Dylan's mouth a she watched Maria respond to her name and soon made her way over towards her trainer. "Cadence!" He called out to his own Lotad and within seconds the tiny Pokemon danced her way over towards her trainer. "I'm glad to see that you're okay. You have to be more careful and stop wondering away from the rest of us. okay?" He spoke, bending down then reaching out to give his Lotad a genre pat on her back. The Lotad simply smiled and nodded her head. Unfortunately, Dylan knew that Cadence probably wouldn't stop exploring on her own. She was a performer and she loved to entertain others and she is always in search of new people and Pokemon to entertain. Especially, those who have a weak spot of talented performers. After speaking with his Pokemon, Dylan would turn his attention back towards Isolde. "Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you Isolde. You have such a unique and alluring name." He smiled, performing a small bow. Once greeting the female trainer, he would then turn her attention towards her Pokemon, flashing them a friendly smile as well. "It's is nice to meet you all, too." He added, performing another small bow. "My name is Dylan." He introduced himself before digging into his bag to pull out a stunning, pink water lily. "This is for you." He smiled, reaching out to hand the pretty blonde the beautiful flower. "Also these are my Pokemon. Morris, Wade, Gaston and Cadence." He added, introducing his Pokemon. The army of water Pokemon would move towards the front and perform a small bow to the trainer and her Pokemon.

[Isolde Spencer]

"Oh my, thank you." She responded as she took the pink water lily. Dylan was being so charming and he probably had a lot of confidence with his flirtatious demeanor. "It's nice to meet you all too as well." She spoke to all of Dylan's Pokemon and she had taken note that Cadence the Lotad was a street performer and the Lotad had to perform for an audience. "Does she wander off like that to perform? I believe it might be better if you watch over her." She spoke in a worried tone. It was quite worrying that Pokemon could wander off like that and it was like having a child lost somewhere.

"Inkay!" Luke said as he poked around with her bag for food to eat until he had accidentally dropped a Pokeball, releasing the Phantump outside. The Phantump looked at the blue-haired trainer and then back at the rest of Isolde's Pokemon. It seemed like he was rather timid of the other Water type Pokemon as he was not yet introduced to them.

Dylan sighed and nodded his head at Isolde's question. "Unfortunately, when ever there is loud music playing or a huge crowd roaming about. She can't seem to help it. I guess it's in her nature." He replied, slightly embarrassed that his Lotad often wanders off away from the group. "I know that she doesn't mean any harm by it and luckily we always manage to find her." He added with a soft smile, glancing down at his energetic Lotad. "But yeah. I am going to have to remember to keep a closer eye on her." He admitted, running his fingers through his spiky blue hair. 

Dylan's attention soon pulled away from Isolde and focus on the new Pokemon that managed to escape from his Pokeball. It was a Phantump. Although, Dylan wasn't a huge fan of grass Pokemon other than Lotad and it's evolutionary line. He just could not help but to notice how cute the tree-spirited Pokemon appeared in front of him. "Aww, and who's this little guy?" He asked, looking back over at Isolde. He then noticed how many Grass type Pokemon the lovely blonde trainer had surrounding her. "I take it that you're a Grass type specialist?" He asked in a curious manner. Meanwhile, his water Pokemon stared towards the interesting Grass/Ghost Pokemon.

[Isolde Spencer]

"This is Tristan, Dylan. He's the Pokemon I started with along with my Ferroseed and a good friend of mine." She responded as Tristan seemed to stare right back at the Water type Pokemon, though he still looked timid. Gawain spoke to the Phantump with a reassuring voice. "Pumpkaboo. Pumpkaboo." He wanted to make sure that the Phantump would not be shy around other people and the Phantump smiled a little. Pretty soon, Dylan had asked if she was a Grass type specialist and she nodded before responding. "Yes, I am. I'm pretty much training some of my Grass type Pokemon and also will teach them how to tend to a garden sometime." Maybe this time, those Grass type Pokemon of hers would learn from her, though she hadn't taken up gardening yet. It was imperative that she would need her team to train more nonetheless.

Dylan flashed the small Phantump another smile, once Isolde introduced the Grass/Ghost Pokemon as Tristan. "Ah, I see. It's nice to meet you, Tristan. My Froakie and Slowpoke are my starter Pokemon." He smiled a little more before stuffing his hands into his loose pockets. "That's pretty cool, Isolde. Obviously, I'm a Water type Specialist." He chuckled lightly before glancing down at his own Pokemon, who seem to have been socializing quite well with the Grass types. "The garden idea is pretty clever. I'm sure that it will increase the bond between your Pokemon and you even more. I often go swimming with my Pokemon at the beach." He admitted, nodding his head a bit. "Anyway, we were just able to check out one the many restaurants Downtown. Would you and your Pokemon be interested in joining us?" he asked politely, flashing her another charming smile. 

[Isolde Spencer]

Ah, so Dylan was a Water type specialist. It was good to know that and he did admit that he swims with his Pokemon as well. Well, at least her army of Grass type Pokemon save for her own Inkay had been getting along with each other and with Dylan's Water type Pokemon as well. Then, Dylan asked her if they could check out one of the restaurants in town and she responded, "Why yes, Dylan. I would love to check out some of those restaurants downtown has to offer." And it happened that Dylan flashed her one of his charming smiles again.

The Phantump was chatting merrily with one of Dylan's Water type Pokemon and it was nice of them to interact with other Pokemon. Perhaps, having a friend that loved another type could be a good thing after all.

Dylan's famous, charming smile quickly curved against his lips again upon hearing Isolde take up his order to join her a nice lunch. "Awesome, just let me now which restaurant captures your attention the most." He replied, looking over at Isolde before turning his attention back to their Pokemon. It was rather nice to see the group of Pokemon behaving so well with each other. "Okay gang, let's go smile some food." He smiled at his Pokemon, who soon started to place themselves into a single file line. "Cadence, please try your best to keep up with the group without wandering off." He chuckled, eyeing his small Lotad. Surprisingly enough, the Lotad appeared to have taken quite an interest in Tristan. The two Pokemon seemed to have been in a deep conversation with each other and from Dylan's observation he could tell that maybe Cadence was gaining a small crush on the Grass/Ghost Pokemon. A soft chuckle escaped from Dylan's lips as he started to lead the way. "So Isolde, where are you from?" He asked curiously, glancing over at the blonde trainer. 

[Isolde Spencer]

In minutes, all of her Pokemon formed a line behind her and they were pretty hungry. She observed Cadence who seemed to take quite an interest on Tristan. Perhaps the Lotad might be having a bit of a crush on the Phantump and the other Pokemon seemed to be getting along with each other. Dylan had asked where she was from and she replied. "I'm from Mossdeep City. I think it's pretty close to Sootopolis." Many people had not heard of the hidden city that lies around the ocean or at least a trainer had to use Dive to get inside the city. Her group seemed to be enjoying the sights that came with exploring downtown at least.

A restaurant seemed to have caught her eye and it was the kind of restaurant that served seafood. "I think we should go there." She spoke as she pointed at the restaurant in question. Tristan was occupied with talking to Cadence and somehow, they actually seem to get along very well.

Dylan nodded his head as he listened to Isolde reveal her hometown to him. "You're correct. Mossdeep City is pretty close to Sootopolis City. Believe it or not, Sooptopolis City is my hometown." He smiled, glancing over at her again. "I must admit. It's pretty cool to me someone else from the Hoenn Region. Especially, someone from Mossdeep City." He added, smiling a little more before glancing away from Isolde and back towards his Pokemon. He wanted to make sure that everyone else were still following behind him. 

A few more minutes passed before Isolde picked out a seafood restaurant for them to check out. "Awesome. Seafood is my favorite. Though, I'm sure that's not too much of a surprise." He chuckled before leading the way towards the restaurant. Growing up in a town hidden underwear, seafood was the main type of food that majority of the population living within the city indulged in. "Umm, everything smells so good." He added, taking in the delicious aroma of seafood coming form the restaurant. He would reach out to open the door for Isolde and their Pokemon before allowing himself to enter the place. 

[Isolde Spencer]

As she entered the restaurant along with a line of her Pokemon entering with her, she could smell the aroma of seafood coming from the restaurant's kitchen. She could tell that Luke was rather hungry from the moment that he stepped inside along with her Grass-type friends. Of course, being Grass-types could mean that they could produce their own food through photosynthesis, but they could eat like normal Pokemon as pets. Espella hopped around, trying to get a look at where the other people were dining and Maria seemed to take note that the other people were chatting with one another. The ghostly stump was rather interested in the seafood that people were eating, but he did notice Cadence was acting strange, more along the lines of having a dreamy look on her eyes.

"I'm sure Cadence would love to have dinner with you, Tristan. It's cute that she has a crush on you." She told the ghostly stump as Tristan happily nodded. He would attempt to act like a perfect gentleman to Cadence somehow, mostly because he probably knew that she had taken a degree of interest in him.
