Lucas' job as a head scientist didn't stop when he left the office. It went past that. He had to be a part of the community. Especially in these tough times. It was important for the civilians to know those in power were with them. He'd already hosted a variety of workshops to help kids get into STEM. Participated in college and university lectures as a guest speaker. He even went as far as donating a few of his art pieces to the Lilycove Museum.

His community involvement today had a stark difference compared to what he'd already done. Breeding pokemon. Pangoros no less. Lucas couldn't help but wonder how he'd come to agree to such a thing. He had no idea he'd arranged to participate till he saw it on his calendar. Had he simply forgotten, or had his assistant cait alfric scheduled it without him knowing?

The hot springs made Lucas uncomfortably hot. His button-up shirt clung to his chest. Unaware of who the owner was he assumed it to be the first person he saw, Mikito Fuji. "I take it you're the owner of this, establishment?"

"No no, I'm here to lend a hand, I think." Lucas wasn't entirely sure what he'd promised to do. His calendar listed little information regarding what he'd be doing. Just an address, the problem at hand, and a time. Nothing more nothing less.

Off in the distance Lucas could see a pangoro flexing his massive pecs to all his other male pangoro buddies. "What have I told you Ferny? Flex for the women, not the men silly!" A man appears from behind the grouped pokemon. All he has on are red gym shorts and red army boots. "Oh are you guys the help?" He shouted as he spotted Lucas and Mikito. "I hope you're ready to get down and dirty boys."

A chill ran down the head scientist's spine. He was very uncomfortable with both the man's appearance and the way he spoke. "No, I think there's a misunderstanding here? I didn't sign up to be doing that."
