A stroll, a business and a goal [Encounters/Plot]

[Felix Leonis]

"Get ready for the ride of your life, a ride in style or a ride of shame, it's all up to you"

Felix remembered those words very well, as those were the very words spoken by his boss at the Celadon Gamecorner otherwise known as the Celadon Casino. It was that man, who was known to be dealing with less than savory folk, who had taught the young Leonis familymember his first and also his most crucial steps in not only the world of finances, but also the real world in general. The meaning of those words however, was a subtle hint to the very place he was working: one had to take chances, take risks and have the stomach to go through with those risks and chances no matter the odds and consequences along the line.

The young man had learned to live by those words and had started to grow significantly in the financial world, showing off his immense talent and capabilities in the business, going so far to eventually having become a renowned financial analyst, working for many big companies and corporations, no matter how dirty their name or reputation was, as long as he got paid in full and got credit wherever credit was due.

Reminiscing about his earliest steps in the business, the young man had a walk at the outskirts of Hearthome city, the place where it all began for him and where he had returned with the sole purpose of expanding his expertise and combine his financial smarts with the world of pokemon, the very frontier he had not yet throdded upon.

"Come out Furfrou!" Felix exclaimed with a relatively stern and distinctive voice, as he whisked a single pokeball from his belt and stretched out his arm. In an instant, the pokeball opened with a teal flash of light escaping from it and forming into the pokemon that was now the start in Felix' grand scheme: Furfrou. "You look stunning, my boy."

The furfrou was glad that his master had let him out of the pokeball out of the city for once, being allowed to see how the outdoors looked like for once, something which both the young man and the pokemon seemed to enjoy. For Felix there was an ulterior motive to be leaving the city: he was simply planning on both testing Furfrou and perhaps look for some interesting pokemon that could aid him in his ideals to turn the pokemon world upside down. Another fact and reason for their outing so early in the morning, was because Felix had decided to have a meeting with his old boss from back in his days at the Celadon Casino, who had come to Sinnoh and had called Felix that they could just as well have lunch together, to which the young man could not say no, even going as far to plan them to have lunch at the Leonis Estate.

"Furfrou, watch out for the bushes, will you?" Felix suddenly said, when he noticed the pokemon sniffing around and about, not amused with the idea to have the pokemon's furr littered with sticks and leaves for no reason. "Do keep a watchful eye, there are wild pokemon in these parts Furfrou."

[Leon]

A rustling from within a nearby bush, as a large, oval-shaped pink creature launched itself into the open, running towards Felix. The creature was visibly frightened. It was a Pokemon known as Chansey, and just as it dove to hide behind Felix's companion, another Pokemon revealed itself from the bushes.

A red rose emerged, followed by a blue one. Out came a Roselia, looking around. The Thorn Pokemon narrowed its eyes as it spotted the fleeing Chansey making an attempt to hide behind Furfrou. It didn't seem to hesitate with two additional players on the field, determined to chase down the Egg Pokemon. The Pokemon spun around, striking a dramatic pose with it's roses pointed at Furfrou. "Rose Roselia!", it cried as it unleash a barrage of Poison Sting towards Felix's partner.

Chansey seemed to duck down, but did not make at attempt to dodge yet, seemingly placing its hopes onto Felix and Furfrou.

"Fur-Fur!!" The furfrou barked rather loudly when first he got passed by a wobbling, pink colored pokemon, only to bark even louder when a rather threatening Roselia showed up right after the Chansey had appeared.

Felix was just as surprised as his own pokemon, neither of the two pokemon that had appeared out of the bushes were of any interest to him, but the threatening Roselia could just as well prove to be quite a challenge given its offensive stance, a perfect chance to make Furfrou more accustomed with actual battle.

With the Roselia suddenly launching off a barrage of Poison sting, The young man knew Looked at the chansey hiding behind the Furfrou and simply gave a grin. "Furfrou stand your ground and show that rosebush what you're made of, Echoed Voice!!"

[Leon]

The Echoed Voice Furfrou released stopped the Poison Sting attack launched by the Roselia. Furious that it's attack was stopped, and worse that it took a direct hit Roselia pointed the red rose directly at Furfrou. It then grabbed at a piece of grass and begin to blow, using the move Grass Whistle. Roselia was making an attempt to put Furfrou, Chansey and Felix to sleep to make the fight easier on itself.

Chansey managed to be unaffected by the status inducing move, but that was because Chansey had been afflicted by poison the entire time. Chansey ate an egg, using the move Soft-Boiled to heal itself and began to cheer on both Furfrou and Felix.

Rather elated with the result of his Furfrou's retaliation against the wild Roselia's poison sting, Felix felt quite proud. However, neither him nor Furfrou had foreseen the wild pokemon's next move, as all of a sudden the soothing sound of whistling was making them sleepy and relaxed.

In a last effort, Felix reminded himself that the Echoed voice had a nice trick to it, as it got stronger after its first use and the last time he had heard Furfrou use it during their training, he thought he would never hear anything again...hear anything again?

Spurred by this idea, the young man hoped that Furfrou was still not fully asleep. "Furfrou...use it again, use Echoed voice again!!"

[Leon]

Roselia was hit again by the Echoed voice delivered by Furfrou. The Pokemon only grew more frustrated and desperate however, likely seeking a quick end to the fight if possible. The Roselia used Mega drain, targetting Furfrou. It sought to heal itself and deal damage to it's opponent.

Chansey, on the other hand, placed an egg on the ground for Furfrou, and walked over to Felix. The pink Pokemon held out a second egg, offering it to him as a token of appreciation and kindess.

[Felix Leonis]

Dealing with the Roselia seemed to be a serious matter, as the pokemon showcased a serious case of being hardheaded, while the chansey seemed to show an unexpected amount of affection coming from a wild pokemon. So much so, that even the arrogant Felix couldn't stay cold for it.

Both he and his Furfrou were quite confused about what to do with the egg though, so much so that their reaction to Roselia's megadrain was to late. Furfrou wasn't really overjoyed when it felt its own vitality being drained away, so it ate the egg without even thinking about it any further, a scene which prompted Felix to do the same.

"Furfrou, I wont accept a loss," Felix placed his left hand on his side and pointed with his right towards the roselia. "If it wants to show how stubborn it is, show it how hard headed we are, use headbutt!!"

[Leon]

Chansey cheered after the duo ate the eggs she provided. She put a determined look on her face, and did her best to look intimidating. Even though it really didn't the pink oval-shaped Pokemon in the slightest.

Roselia took the Headbutt attack delivered by Furfrou. Mostly because it had been busy admiring it's own handiwork throughout the fight. Despite being hit, Roselia hung on, all thanks to it's Mega Drain attack prior. However, Roselia was unable to attack back as it had flinched from the headbutt.

[Felix Leonis]

"Good job Furfrou," The elegant man placed his index finger against the bottom of his hat, glanced at the chansey for a moment, grinning in that same time and in a fluid and graceful motion, he pointed towards the roselia with a determined and almost scary look upon his face. "Gentleness is not required for a brutish and vulgar specimen such as yourself, my dear Roselia. Therefor I grant you the utter pain of yet again enjoying my Furfrou's most devastating move. Furfrou, do take down that vermin with your echoed voice, let it all out boy."

Therewas no mistake for furfrou, Felix had issued a command in his usual self, full of his brilliant arrogance and commanding presence, something which of course could only be matched by an equal performance by Furfrou.

So not to shame its master, it braced its legs, threw back its fur in all its waving glory, showing its sharp canine teeth before opening its maw to let out another of those painfully loud barks.

[Leon]

Chansey was excited. She jumped up and down, though she didn't get very far off the ground. She carried on with her cheering, even more excited when Felix had glanced at her. Though the Pokemon might have been turned off by the face he directed towards Roselia, Chansey fetl safe and secure with him around.

Roselia on the other hand was exhausted, and disliked that it couldn't seem to make progress against Furfrou. Raising her arms to shield herself from Furfrou's attack, she seemed to make an effort to brace herself instead of going for a counter attack. But instead of being able to take the hit, the end result was a defeat for the Wild Roselia. (Furfrou gains 13 EXP, and with the 8 EXP already obtained raises Furfrou to level 16 with 6 EXP. Changes will be applied to your application.)

With Roselia's defeat, Chansey was estatic and offered both Furfrou and Felix another egg each. She waited patiently for the two of them to each take their reward for assisting her against Roselia, with a thankful smile.

[Felix Leonis]

When the Roselia was down, the Chansey seemed to be surprisingly happy, something which at the same time disgusted, but also slightly warmed felix' spirit a bit. While he accepted the egg and noticed that his Furfrou accepted it as well, gladly restoring some of it's wounds by devouring the present, the man simply tried to gently place his right hand upon the pink pokemon's head.

"If you want you can be mine," Furfrou's master gave a rather elegant smile towards the chansey. His idea was ofcourse to at least have this chansey go to the nursing school, which could evidentially aid him in the care of future pokemon as well. "A pokemon with your talents may not be good for fighting, but you have skills that are good for the wellbeing of others. So what do you say, will you allow me to catch you...or do you want me to test your strength?"

[Leon]

Chansey seemed to be perfectly fine with Felix placing his head upon her head. In fact one could say Chansey was reassured that she had not caused too much trouble for the trainer and his partner. But upon the offer of being allowed to join Felix? Chansey began to cry. She wasn't sad no, in fact she was quite happy.

She jumped up and down with joy, nodding as she did. "Chan-Chan-Chansey!", she cried out, excited to have the company of others. She looked up to Felix, awaiting a Pokeball almost as if she had been through this before.

Spoiler:

[Felix Leonis]

Seeing as the chansey wasn't resisting Felix in any way, the current self-proclaimed head of the Leonis family took a small pokeball out of his vest, pressing the button to enlarge the ball and tapped it against Chansey in a gentle manner, just hard enough for it to open.

"You wont need to be afraid anymore," Felix gave a rather sly, yet amazingly elegant smile at the Chansey. "From now on, you'll be important and cherished, because to me you can be useful."

A chansey wasn't exactly a pokemon felix would put in a team to fight, but she'd be quite a good caretaker for those that would form his fighting team, not to mention that she could be useful for pokemon contests. However, he didn't have the time to be looking for pokemon to much, he still had to go to his meeting with his former boss from the Celadon Casino.

[Leon]

Before Felix stood a well-aged woman. Her wrinkled facial expression, rather disinterested in the male before her. Her pale eyes gave barely provided their true color, that of a blue rose. Her hair was visibly going white, starting with her roots. However, the rest of it was black, and the blend of black and white looked good for her. Her outfit followed a colour scheme of sorts, black and white with purple and gold details. She wore a thin jacket, with a knee-length skirt. She was clearly wearing a pair of pants below, form fitting. A short pair of boots were upon her feet, heeled. She did not have any jewelry on, but she did wear gloves.

"Young man, I require assistance.", she said to him, keeping her gaze and focus directed onto him. She might have seemed intimidating to some, but in reality it was really just an elderly lady. "You see, I'm from Celadon City. I've always dreamed of coming to the Sinnoh Region and seeing Hearthome City, along with Fantina the Gym Leader.", she told him, with a smile. "I won big at the local casino in Kanto and using my winnings I've decided to finally visit, but I'm afraid I'm lost.", she continued, shaking her head in embarrassment. "Could you assist me?", she asked.

[Felix Leonis]

It was quite a surprise to Felix, he hadn't yet put the pokéball with Chansey in his pocket or he encountered a woman of sensible age. After she had forced her plight upon him, a practically devilish grin appeared on his handsome face.

The woman had mentioned a few things that made him suspicious or rather intrigued to who she was. After all, how great was the coincidence or rather the chance and possibility of meeting someone who came from one of the cities where he had worked, not to mention the fact she claimed to have won quite a sum of money at the Casino of celadon city, which was exactly where he had worked and it was the owner of that casino; his former boss Heinrich Glasner who he was supposed to meet that day.

"I see, well allow me to aid you in your predicament madame," The young master of the Leonis family replied quite courteously, allowing her to rest upon his arm along the way. "Meeting with Fantina is something quite special for the common people after all. I will personally escort you to the gym, she should be currently there."

[MegaAbsol]

"Oh, thank you, dear." The old lady's face wrinkled in creases as she smiled, graciously accepting the support offered, blue eyes flashing in gratitude. It seemed she had a penchant for dialogue, for besides revealing much of the factors leading to this predicament, she spoke freely and incessantly to Felix - such a polite young man. Besides her side of the conversation, which she was holding up marvelously, she was quite curious about Felix, venturing to ask if he lived around here. Going on to speak of how she's always admired the drive in the Ghost-type trainer and Gym Leader, it seemed that if Felix didn't live conversation, this was going to be a long day.

[Felix Leonis]

"I do live here indeed," Felix replied in his usual calm demeanor, giving the woman a gentle and gracious nod. "I hope you can meet Fantina as soon as possible. You can probably find her either at her gym or at the contesthall. Alas, I am a bussy man and I have an appointment at the Glassner tower with an 'old friend'. May we meet again, madame."

With that, the gentleman left the woman behind, making his way to the Glassner Tower, which was owned by Heinrich Glassner, the man he was supposed to meet on that very day. Furfrou in the meantime seemed quite excited and proud of itself, having won that battle against the roselia earlier. It felt as if it had proven itself worthy of its master, which it had done marvelously.

Suddenly, while he was standing in front of the massive skyscraper that was the Glassner Tower, Felix' cellphone went off...

"You've arrived, very well," The masked man smiled gently, looking upwards into the skies. "So the time for change has finally begun, count me in. I'll be with you shortly...yes you can go ahead and order me a coffee."

... "the end?"
