Minum sat in the Verona Cafe', alone aside from a few other people in the Cafe. But he was there by himself, not with somebody else like the last time.
He ordered the same thing as before-Hot chocolate-and waited until the Waiter came back with it.
"Thanks." Said Minum, drinking it in small sips.
Things were so slow today...Din was off elsewhere, and he had nothing to do. He didn't feel like training right now. It was just a boring day.

It had been a long first day on the road for a certain Elizabeth Shanks. She had caught two Poke'mon already, and was just finished healing the three that made up her team at the local Pokecenter.
A small shiver ran through her body, and it was only when she walked a few paces from the center did she realize how cold she was. Well duhh. It is winter. Deciding she should rest a few minutes herself, she led her Vulpix to the nearest coffe shop, the Verona Cafe'.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and closed her eyes as a blanket of warmth enveloped her. Flair seemed happy to be somewhere warmer, and she frolicked ahead, running under tables and not caring where she ended up...
"Flair! No, wait-" it was too late. By the time Liz had opened her eyes to find her Vulpix gone, Flair had already leaped on a chair opposite a random guy. Blushing from embarrassment, she hurried over to pick her Poke'mon up. "Err, sorry about that! She doesn't normally do that, you see... She's quite well behaved, actually..." Liz looked at the guy, vulpix in arms. +It's so toasty in here!+ Flair licked Liz's chin in appreciation, squirming a little. She had no idea what she realy did wrong.

Minum shrugged. "It's no problem. I have a Ninetails, and she was kinda hyper as a Vulpix too." He said, referring to Jade, who had recently evolved into a Ninetales. ...Why are Vulpixs drawn to me? He thought, raising an eyebrow for what would seem like no reason to Liz.
Minum drank some more of his hot chocolate, not really caring to say more; Atleast that had happened and relieved his boredom for a few seconds. Then, one of his Poke'balls opened, letting out Crimson. He had forgotten about the Cyndaquil. Alakazam, Zangoose, and Arbiter were too big to be in the Cafe right now. His Ninetales and Rioru were off doing who knows what, but they always came back. Cyndaquil, though...
Crimson climbed onto the table, curling up just to try to fall asleep.

Liz gave a small smile as Minum shrugged. At least he understands... The odd eyebrow movement confused Liz a bit, but she put the thought aside, no matter how much her curious side influenced her to ask about it. It's his buisness, gosh..
"So you have a Ninetails, huh?" she asked, glancing down at Flair who was still sitting comfortable on her hip. Before he could answer, however, a random, or so it seemed, Poke'ball opened, revealing a Cydaquil. Liz smiled, Looks like he's a fan of fire types.
Flair, seeing the other Poke'mon as a play mate, looked up at her trainer with pleading eyes. Liz set her down next to the other, watching Flair's head tilt in thought. +Hi! I'm Flair! What are you? I'm a Vulpix!+ Her tail swayed side to side in excitement as she sat down.
"So... you like fire types?" Liz managed to ask, making a small hand gesture to the cyndaquil. Should I just sit here with him or what?

<We're ALL siblings in this world, sister.> Replied the Hippie Cyndaquil, curling up. (HIPPIE CYNDAQUIL! xD) <...Anyway, I'm a Cyndaquil. My name is Crimson.> Crimson closed his eyes tighter, trying to sleep. Why did he even come out of his poke'ball?
"Not really. I captured Vulpix because it was following me around and then evolved it to a Ninetales, and I captured him-" He pointed at Crimson. "Because I used to have a Typhlosion...Oh, yeah. I used to be a trainer in the Johto region. Long story..." He shrugged, not getting into the details. "Crimson is very close to evolving into a Quilava." Said Minum, drinking some more of his hot chocolate.

Pale blue eyes narrowed as a girl walked in. She was not like most other guirls however. Two brown fox-like ears twitched on her head, and she was covered in brown fur. Her eyes were warm though. A large bushy tail twitched uncomfortably as she walked in. Two Eevees walked beside her. One was a male, larger than the other. He had slightly darker fur than the female, and he looked more demonic than any other Eevee you will probaly ever see.
The other was the normal size, and she had bright green eyes. Her features were more delicate, and she walked with a certain dignity. It was no wonder she was called Angel.
Amaya noticed two others, and walked uneasily over. "Hi..." she said quietly, blinking.

+Uhh... whatever you say. A Cyndaquil, huh? That's cool. You're fire too! Oh, and Crimson is a lovely name.+ Flair waved her tail around again, partly annoyed the poke'mon would just go to sleep in the middle of their conversation. So not to be rude, she left him be and started scanning the room for anything fun to do.
A Typhlosion!? In Johto? What the heck? What would he come over here for? She looked obviously puzzled about the whole ordeal, and this time cuiriousity got the better of her.
She sat down opposite him, resting her arms on the table. "I have all day," she merely replied, looking at Minum curiously. What would a trainer from Johto want with Cheyenne Region!?
But before she could get an answer, a very odd looking girl walked up to them. Liz had to refrain herself from shouting 'What the heck is wrong with you!?', and instead forced a smile. The girl looked nice, no reason to make her feel more uncomfortable than she already is. "Er... hi. I'm Elizabeth Shanks," she introduced herself, not knowing what else to do, "but please call me Liz. This is- uhh..." Completely forgetting his name if he even mentioned it at all, Liz looked at the guy for help.
((Hippie!? xDDD Where'd that come from!?))

((That's just the attitude I gave Cyndaquil.) ...What the heck? Thought Minum, looking at Amaya. "Erm...Hello." Minum said, raising an eyebrow at her. "I'm Minum." He said simply, shrugging. "Anyway...I was a trainer in Johto. Beat all the gyms and the Elite 4 and such. But the Champion of the Elite 4 beat me. I went back home after that, but a Tornado hit my town a few days after I got there...Some psychic type saved me, but it wasn't my Alakazam-Which I still have here, by the way-so I don't know how I got here. So for the most part I'v had to start over."

Amaya blinked at them," I'm a pokemorph, okay?" she said coldly, staring at the ground.
Demon growled loudly, staring at the other pokemon.
Angel shivered at her brother's cold eyes. She shrank away from the other Eevee, as if frightened by him.

Geez, must be harsh. She listened intently to the short story, scrunching up her nose. "A tornado? Wow... You're lucky you survived." She looked at him curoiusly before drawing her attention to the girl beside her, the story replaying itself in her mind. I would hate to start over after defeating the Elite Four...
Then the girl seemed to explode. "Geez, no need to snap at people when all they did was introduce themselves," Liz explained, studying the girl and defending a guy she barely knew. It was her who walked over, so why is she suddenly mad at us? It's not like we walked to her and started making fun of her. Gosh...
Flair jumped back into reality as she heard a cold voice directed to her own trainer. She growled, standing up and glaring at the demonic Eevee. +What the heck's up with you!?+

Amaya looked up, ears twitching with amusement. "Sorry, it's just.... most people get umcomfortable around me... and my brother..." she said quietly, blinking.
Demon snarled, +Everything...+
Angel flinched, +Surely you sdon't mean that, brother...?+

"Just because most people steryotype you doesn't mean you can steriotype most people," Liz explained softly, trying not to sound rude.
Flair rolled her eyes at the giant Eevee, snorting. +Obviously.+ She glanced at the smaller one, tilting her head in confusion. +Why the heck is everyone saying 'brother' and 'sister' at the end of every sentence now!?+

"She's right." Said Minum, shrugging once more. "Just cause people stereotype you doesn't mean you should Stereotype them."
Crimson got up, shaking his fur. <Because we are ALL siblings, sister.>
Minum finished his hot chocolate, looking at the two girls. Well, he was relieved of his boredom, atleast.

Liz smiled appreciativily when Minum backed her up. Now she didn't feel as stupid standing her grounds alone, as she had another person with her.
Flair was very puzzled. She was about to say =who are you again?= but instead, nodded towards Crimson. He wasn't a foe, and so she thought she shouldn't pick an enemy for Liz. +Right. I'll- I'll have to remember that, 'sall.+ She shrugged, and continued glaring at the big Eevee. It was alot of fun.

Amaya growled, mostly to herself. "Well, if other humans stuffed you inside a cage, you'd probaly be that way to, you know..." she said, shivering slightly.
Angel smiled, +He is my brother...+
Demon growled, +I wish I wasn't...+

Liz's eyes widened in surprise. Stuffed in a cage!? She shivered herself, imagining how bad it could be. She was at a loss for words, and hoped Minum would be able to use some logic to prove their point. Or not. There was no need to argue, really...
She sighed, watching Flair with a smile. She seemed to be enjoying herself. That makes two of us.
+Oh, right. Sorry.+ Flair would've blushed if she could, but being a vulpix, she was able to surpress the embarrassment. Hearing the large Eevee, she turned towards him. +No reason to talk bad about your own sister, you know! No respect these days, goodness me. I'd love to just rip your fur off, you lousy-+ she stopped herself, not wanting to get hurt in a battle. She had yet to train still. Instead, she calmed herself down, sitting and closing her eyes.

Crimson gave them all a cheesy grin. <We're ALL brothers. And sisters.> He curled back up, confident that saying that 3 times is enough.
Minum raised an eyebrow. "No I wouldn't. I don't stereotype." He laughed a bit.
The waiter came over to the table, seeing more people had come over since he served Minum. "Would you ladies like anything?" The waiter asked, taking out a pen and a notepad.

Demon let out a snarl, + Try it, and you won't have a throat much longer..+
Amaya glanced at him, +Stop it!+ she growled in poketongue, picking up the troublesome Eevee. "Most humans think we're some sort of side-show attraction. That lab was a living hell..." she said quietly.
Angel glanced uncertianly at her brother, before letting out a soft sigh.

Liz looked up at the waiter as he came over and smiled. "Oh, thank you. May have a small hot chocolate, if you could? With whip cream, but no marshmellows please. Thanks again."
The waiter nodded and was off, and while waiting for her order she looked up to Amaya, about to offer her a seat. Before she could, the girl had resumed her sob story, and Liz's features showed sympathy. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Here, have a seat." She smiled politely and tilted her head towards the seat by the girl, hoping Minum was okay with the two girls comming over like this.
Flair was about to reply with a =wanna bet!?= but was silenced as his trainer scolded him and picked the lousy furball up. Flair smiled, smug, and curled up beside her hippie friend on the table.

Amaya sat down. "I wish Ryu were here right now..." she murmered quietly, blinking. Angel stared at her trainer, ears twitching.
