[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur really had no qualms with the day today and he was just basically out here for a stroll to take in the city lights nothing more than that. Whatever was ailing him was of no concern to anyone else, and those so called feelings he had towards people at times were only dedicated for the pokemon. If anything, he strived to become stronger, and wanted to do so via the means he had acquired already. Donning his usual uniform and the same old tie with the vest, he decided to head out for a good time on the town. Midnight was following behind him, and as usual she was treading carefully on her hind paws since she knew how to walk like that. Being around Arthur was letting her slowly learn how human speech worked too as he taught her on his time off...which was constantly. So hopefully by the time she evolved and retained all that knowledge, she'd still be able to talk since she is a cat-like pokemon. Even as they were walking, he suddenly stopped in the middle of a street and suddenly called out, "Looking for recruits for Ace Academy, do you think you got what it takes to help other trainers become stronger while trying to attain your acehood yourself?" he yelled into the plaza where people seemed to stop for only a minute to see what all the fuss was about. Arthur was determined to find someone.

Today had been a good day. She'd gotten an interview on television with the interviewer Fottino, and also gone and adopted a new Pokémon! Now she not only had a cute and adorable new companion, who she clutched protectively in her arms, but every now and then someone walking by would look at her, almost as if trying to recognize where they'd seen her before. Her goal of being famous was underway! Now she just needed to win a couple gym battles or contests and then...
Her thoughts were cut short by the sound of shouting and the brief formation of a group of being listening to the shouters words. Almost at once many people wandered off again, but a few lingered -- which caught Gene's attention. Was the shouter an entertainer? A celebrity?
"Hmmm, this could be interesting Matteo! Let's go investigate." she said, kissing the top of the little bonsly's head, before striding towards the commotion.
As she arrived she noticed it was some trainer, with a rather strange looking meowth. Did they always stand on two legs? She didn't think so...though then again, was a cat walking on its hind legs any stranger than her zangoose doing the same thing? With a slight shrug she stepped forward, stopping three paces from the man, leaning slightly forward as she stared at the man's face, head tilting to one side.
"What are you doing?" she asked, having not heard a word this weird man had even said.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur had no reason to beat around the bush, but this strange girl suddenly came up out of nowhere. "Oh, Ace Academy, a place to train and get better at becoming a pokemon trainer. We excel at everything we do, and do what we can to make every trainer as strong as possible while working as a team to achieve this goal in general," he said confidently to her as he stuck out his chest proudly while wearing the academy badge on his left chest pocket of his school uniform that he seemed to wear everywhere. Sure the uniform was a little unorthodox, but he definitely had a nice way of putting it at least. Midnight merely nodded her head and watched the bonsly approach them too. Obviously she was being cautious around the two at the moment, but wasn't going to keep this up at any rate. Even so, Arthur had to admit this girl was pretty compared to the others he had seen. Although she was probably older than the young trainer, because he was only seventeen. Not that anyone was interested in someone as cool and cold as him either. He was just doing this for a mission and that was all it was about with him. "If you're interested I shall take you to meet the leader of the academy so you can join!" he asked her while then bowing before her. "I'm Arthur by the way," he said to her holding out his hand to her.

Ace academy....huh? While the guy rambled on about stupid trivial things like the academy's mission, his name, and what exactly he wanted to do with her, Gene was busy thinking about how this could benefit her. Training pokemon certainly was a goal of hers, and 'Ace' did sound rather elite. She could already imagine herself, Genevieve! Mistress of Ace Academy. Her students would admire her, men would wish they were with her and woman would wish they were her. Yes...this place could definitely help make her impressive and famous, if that's what she wanted.
"What do you think Matteo?" she asked, looking down at the bonsly she held in her arms, a faint smile crossing her face as it struggled to look back up at her. "Do you want to go with this guy?"
Sniffling, Matteo looked uneasily at the weird meowth, tears already forming in his little eyes. That cat looked scary...and he didn't like scary things! Instead of speaking, as he was rather shy, Matteo just buried his face in the crook of Gene's arm.
"...well~ that's not a very big vote of confidence." she said, raising one eyebrow slightly. As she stood there on the street, she couldn't help but recall her interview with Fottino and her first few questions, causing her to laugh despite her best attempts not to.
"So, 'Andrew', how do I know I can trust you? For all I know you're secretly working for a midget in a sombrero, and trying to kidnap me!" she said with a grin, before starting to laugh again, not really even caring that Arthur probably had no idea what exactly she found so funny.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] "Arthur, and if you call me that again, I can guarantee you won't be meeting anyone soon," he said callously, but he honestly didn't care about the girl. All he really wanted to was to get this mission done and over with so he decided to keep it simple. Midnight merely shined her coin on her forehead as she started to hone her claws too in front of them. Not caring who was watching her. Suddenly she walked up beside her trainer and stuck her tongue out at the other pokemon to see how he would react. Obviously she wasn't too overly fond of the other type, but she could hold her own against it easily. That's what dig was for after all, and she was a very powerful little pokemon too. Arthur had to be careful who he messed with though and nodded to her as he took his hand back. Not daring to kiss the back of hers, but he did have to comment. "Your skin is very smooth, must be taken care of by the top nail salon around here" he said randomly. Getting back on track, he soon nodded and cleared his throat, "Well, for one, if I was, I wouldn't tell you and two, I'd have battled you instead of just sat here talking to you. Words are only useless if you don't use them right, but besides that if you want to join we should get going," he said to her calmly wondering how he was going to get her into the academy this way. Perhaps making a recommendation to the heads of the Academy. Well, he would wait to see what she wanted to do as he was soon walking off. Sure, this short meeting had been rather nice, but now he had to figure how to get her to sign up for Ace academy. Wondering if she just walked up to the kiosk to do so. "Oh, make sure you that you say that I reccommended you to Ace Academy too," he said as Midnight walked with him hoping she was following now.

At the guys words, Gene cringed slightly, knowing she had overstepped her bounds a little. Yes her dreams were starting to take shape, and yes she had a right to be happy about that, but there was no reason at all for her to let it make her arrogant and rude to people. I will not become the next Fottino she thought to herself, a soft sigh escaping her lips.
"Hey, wait up!" she call, bounding after the young man and fall in beside him, momentarily quiet as she willed herself to say her least favourite words. "I'm sorry for being a little snotty a sec ago...it's been a weird day." Again she fell silent, pretending to fuss over Matteo, who now was constantly wiggling about, as he tried to position himself so he could spy on the Meowth without it noticing -- which probably wasn't working out at all.
"I'm Genevieve by the way, though most people call me Gene....it's nice to met you Arthur." she finally added, not really sure what else to say without making things worse.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur nodded to the girl, and was fairly sure she hadn't meant to be such a prude girl, but he was honestly used to it. Women were always commenting on how cold he was at times, but right now was no different as he looked over at what he was bringing to the academy. Well, he supposed it could be worse, and thought of the possibilities of what would have happened if he were recruiting another guy instead. This place seemed to be abundant with girls, but slightly lacking with all the males in place. Then again, not everyone did what the norm required as he then walked off, and they were well on their way to the Ace Academy. Arthur just hoped he could figure out a way to actually get her to meet the leaders, "No offense taken really," he said to her. "You don't need to look so tense, I just tend to go with whatever happens so don't take offense to anything I say either," he said calmly to her. At least he knew that telling her straight up how he felt about the situation made her quiet down a little as Midnight trotted on behind as they finally were out of this area and heading towards the Academy.

Even though he said he forgave her, and everything seemed to be water under the bridge, Gene still couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Here she was, wanting to get into this group of cool kids...and she had taken some kind of haughty, superior mindset that had nearly lost her her chance! Oh sure, Arthur claimed he didn't care, but that might just be him trying to be nice. Anyone else certainly wouldn't of taken it so impersonally. Did she really want to join a group and immediately have an enemy? The last thing she wanted was a Draco Malfoy to her Harry Potter epicness.
Man this line of thought is just way too depressing... she thought to herself, before a small grin came to her face.
"Shall we dance, Matteo?" she asked, looking down at her bonsly, who was still creeped out by the walking meowth. Knowing she wasn't about to get a reply, she just began to dance anyways, in a mock ballroom dance style. She had no training of course, but twirling and spinning and humming random tunes was just so much funner than walking in a straight line! As long as Arthur didn't suddenly break into a jog or run, she was fairly certain she'd be able to keep pace with him -- even if she'd be rather dizzy.
"So, Arthur, you guys want to be the best, like no one ever was, right?" she asked, passing in front of him briefly, be humming and twirling randomly behind him. "I just kind of am curious...how do you guys improve? Pep talks? Are you actually students, super secret intense training?" she really was curious, though mostly about whether she'd have to wear a school uniform like him. It probably wouldn't be that bad, and the short skirts of school uniforms always good for a laugh or two, but she was personally rather fond of her unusual style, and of her rather chaotic lifestyle.
In her arms Matteo simply laughed and laughed, already so dizzy from the spins and movements of his trainer, that he didn't even remember creeper cat was still so close at hand.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur realized she was asking him a question as he just happened to be spacing out in his own little world as was per usual with him sometimes. Finally, something to converse about that would lead him out of this depressive state he had been in. In his own way, he had to admit that she was very pretty, but he'd never say it to her face or show he had feelings in general. Well, what could he say to her, since he didn't know much about the other members, but he did know that all of the Ace members were rather friendly. "Uhm, well, we're given missions to complete to help improve our relations with the academy too. Plus it helps you meet a lot new members too, and I'm glad you are joining. This is just what I prefer to wear because it reminds me of home. At least when I put it like that it sounds slightly childish," he said calmly as he scratched the back of his head lightly and was suddenly embarrassed in front of her as a blush actually crossed his face. Arthur was actually trying to impress her, but her ballroom dancing was rather impressive too. Midnight merely glanced at the bonsly again, before waving her hand as well as speaking to it. Hey there! Sorry if I look scary, I promise I don't bite hard! she said to the bonsly.

Gene couldn't help but laugh when he started to act embarrassed about what he was wearing! Had he not seen her own outfit? Smiling slightly she stopped her twirling, instead giving Arthur a somewhat rough pat on the back. "Oh! So you just like being a student huh? Well that's alright! Not everyone can have as wonderful a sense of fashion as me!"
Still smiling she continued walking, honestly having no idea where they were going. Who were this places leaders? Were they nice? She had so many questions but at the same time she had a feeling that this guy didn't really have any answers. So instead she tried to change the topic to one a little more friendly. "So Arthur! What brings you to this area? Do you spend everyday walking down the street, trying to understand everyone's original point of view? Or were you perhaps...shopping? Something else? If this Ace academy place is partially about getting to know people I may as well start with you! Right?"
In her arms Matteo was just simply staring at the Meowth. It was still creepy as heck, but now that Gene clearly wasn't going to give him more attention for crying and being scared, there really wasn't much point in more fake tears. Instead he simply made scary faces (well, as scary as a bonsly can make its stony face) at the Meowth while whispering "redrum....redrum...." over and over. In some movie it had seen once that had been reallyyyyy scary, so maybe it'd work here too!

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Midnight wasn't scared of the bonsly and started to hone her claws right in front of him as her tail waved in front of her taking on a very iron edge to it. The steel would have knocked the bonsly out cold if she could have been able to hit it right then. Grinning mischievously back at the bonsly and lowering her eyes far enough to make her fangs look like they were dripping venom while deciding to play with the bonsly's mind to how many things she could do to hurt it. Oh, oops, my tail sometimes does that, and I could 'dig' if I wanted to, she said suddenly getting bored with the bonsly as she just stared at it. Arthur was doing most of the talking in the meanwhile, and he didn't care about the bonsly at all. In fact he was more drawn to the girl, but it wasn't just her generous form that did so. Even just the fact her skimpy outfit wasn't the problem, but he listened to what she said as they finally made it to the academy after a bit of walking. "Well, here we are, I already gave my superiors the news of you're arrival," he said to her calmly as he shook her hand. "You'll get to meet them yourself, and as far as you need to know about me. I work well alone, however, I don't mind just battling," he said to her answering her question. It was also a very polite way of telling her not to ask about his past. "I'm only here to get stronger, that's my main goal, and if people happen to help me out good for them. I prefer training pokemon alone, but can't always be like that forever," he said, considering how he felt about Marlaey just then.

When he saw that cat sharpen its claws and look at him like that, all his bravado fled, and his lack of self confidence and fear simply took over. Crying and thrashing about, it was all Gene could do to hold onto her little bonsly, stumbling sideways and falling against a wall with a hiss of pain.
"Matteo... Matteo! It's okay, i'm here, its fine....no one is going to hurt you...shhhh...."she whispered, holding the little rock type close, looking up for a moment to glare at the meowth, even if she had no idea what it had done, before focusing her attention back on Matteo, whose fake tears were now running freely down his little face, and moistening the front of Gene's top.
When it became apparent he wasn't going to calm down any time soon, Gene pulled out Matteo's pokeball. "It's okay little one...if you're that scared just go in here okay? I promise no one can get you in there." she whispered, kissing Matteo's forehead before returning him to his pokeball.
It was only then she even remembered Arthur was there. With a slightly awkward smile, Gene carefully climbed back to her feet, feeling more than a little embarrassed about her pokemons reaction.
"Sorry about that... I just got Matteo from the pound, and he's still recovering from that."
Biting her lower lip, Gene strode forward, not quite sure where she was going, but determined to at least see this through. Arthur might not be one who enjoyed working with other people, but Gene definitely preferred crowds! Plus, socializing would definitely do Matteo a lot of good, that much was obvious from this experience.
"So uh, where exactly do I go?" she asked without a glance back, continuing to walk straight ahead.

OOC: I think this thread is done, and if they look at the mission threads, I'm done them, so you should be receiving a PM from one shortly I think, we'll just say this thread is over now. Although we're not going to discard it just yet for proof that Arthur actually told you what it was about and took you to it haha.
