It was just another day off for the Devon programmer. Rikiya would be sitting in his apartment, playing on his computer. More specifically, he was making life a living hell for his teammates. The only thing keeping the screams of angry teammates from flooding through the halls of the building was the fact that he was wearing a headset. As funny as it'd be to use this on his neighbors, he didn't feel like dealing with them, or the cops today.

A knock on the door would prompt his Pikachu to pull on the leg of his jeans. Rikiya would peel the headset off his head, and get out of his chair, but not before giving the little guy an affectionate ruffle on the head. "Thanks.", he'd tell him. He would then make his way to the door, greeting the dark-haired woman from before.

"Yo, Evie, good to see ya!", Rikiya told her, being in good spirits, despite what happened days earlier. At home, the trainer was garbed little differently than he'd be, minus the fact that his boots were at the door in the designated area, his feet only covered in a pair of black socks. The inside of his apartment, though on the somewhat smaller end, looked nice enough on the inside. Everything was kept clean and organized, and the place was well-lit. "Come on inside!", he'd tell the girl, inviting her in.

Once inside, Evelyn would not only see the Pikachu that let him know she was there, but a Shinx laying on the couch lazily, an Electabuzz who was watching the TV, and a Togedemaru who was on a small play set in the corner meant for smaller Pokemon, with the Pikachu racing to join him.

Rikiya would take notice to the stuff she brought with her. "I don't know if my kitchen would be big enough, but we could always try something out.", he'd tell her.
