It was a forgone conclusion. She just needed some time to herself. No matter how much Elaine denied it, running at 100% all the time was a terrible idea. Sometimes, it was more reasonable to just allow herself to kick back, rest, and gaze forlornly upon the world before her.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t had much luck as far as finding that place. She had recently just arrived at Lilycove City after a short detour to Mt. Pyre, and she was in dire need of some rest. But, Lilycove City was a large city, probably in the same league as Slateport or Mauville, even if of different character.

Was there a nice overlook with a good view of the sea? A park with the soothing sight of plain flora? A restaurant or cafe with some soothing tea or ice cream? The young woman hadn’t even the slightest idea.

And so, Elaine found herself putting up a subtle scowl as she walked around without aim.

“Where should I even go?”

All in the meanwhile, her scarf fluttered as if trying to catch a simple breeze and finding itself lost among turbulent air.

Such was only natural for a foreigner in the region, after all.

“ahhhh” Billi took in the…”fresh” lilycove air that he came to love. Even if the salt filled air haunted his nightmares, and his nerves, but damages would fade when good memories provided natural pain killers like a prescription for xanax. A breeze caught him as walked by the crowd, all of which have gone back to their normal lives as one would expect. A sweet spring of peace overflowed from Lilycove.[break][break]

“Oh?” Billi heard someone mentioned something about starting somewhere. Blue eyes traced the sound and brows raised cleverly as the giant walked towards the blonde. “Looking for something? Or somewhere?” he grinned, “I work at the gym, and news I guess,” he shrugged, “I can help you find what you want! Unless ya are looking for some place to relax which I can show you some AWESOME places!”

“What?!”

The young woman quickly pivoted in order to find a much larger man suddenly appearing from behind her. Though she was one to remain calm at most times, she couldn’t help but find herself startled by the man she had not even noticed approaching her. She was already only half facing him with her palms directed towards him and her legs bent in what nobody with an understanding of martial arts would dare to even call a stance.

Moreover…

Did he hear me? Ah...he’s offering me directions and using his position at the local gym to create an air of authority.

Finally realizing she wasn’t in any actual immediate danger, she retracted her sham of a stance and turned to face the man before her. He didn’t seem to be the type who was hard on the eyes. He was also offering to help her find her way around.

She couldn’t think of any reason to offer that to a stranger. Unless...

“I get it. This is supposed to be a pick-up!” Elaine clasped her fist in her hand as if she had made a breakthrough. “I’m flattered, really I am.”

And she was really blushing. Slightly. Not that she’d acknowledge it.

“But, I’m not yet ready for a relationship just yet. Though, if you’re still willing on that offer of showing me around I’d be glad to take you up on it.”

But who was to say she had to look the gift Ponyta in the mouth?

Billi stood there, confused for a second, and questioned why the girl thought he was trying to pick her up. Or even hit on her for that matter. NEVER would Billi do that! Firstly it’s too awkward for a dork to attempt to flirt, and secondly the person in front of him was clearly a woman, meaning that the parts didn’t quite match up. Then again, it did make him laugh some when he straightened up his back, “Hahahah no sorry! I don’t think you got the pieces for me to be interested in you like that! Besides, I'm not creepy!” Billi laughed.[break][break]

“Oh sure! What are you looking to do! Did you wanna sight see? Or like maybe visit some place to eat? There’s lots here in Lilycove! I don’t think i’ve even done everything there is to do here,” he grinned widely.

The power of plausible deniability was a wonderful thing to behold. Both as far as Elaine was concerned and as far as the man in front of her was concerned. Given his awkward response, she could only sigh as she realized her interpretation of what was happening was far off the mark.

He really was just offering, in good faith, to guide her around the city.

Was she still feeling a slight sense of suspicion towards him? She’d met more than enough terrifying people in a lifetime who were adept enough at wielding a mask that she could hardly be faulted for a little paranoia.

Still, she did say she would take him up on his offer. So, at the very least, she would see it out from the start and crush it the moments things got too dicey. She was confident enough she couldn’t be pulled into a checkmate that easily.

“I was honestly looking for somewhere a bit more relaxing. A cafe overlooking the shore, a bench next to a lighthouse, a good view of the sea. Something like that.” Averting her gaze ever so slightly, she muttered something barely audible to the other man. “I just needed some time to get away from things.”

Focusing her gaze back onto his eyes, though, she interjected her own train of thought. “That being said, my name’s Elaine. You can simply call me that.”

After all, proper introductions were paramount.

The blonde checked the girls posture for a moment, and nodded, understanding that she wanted a soothing experience. Like an elderly couple at a top notch retirement home. Kinda boring, but still a bit sweet like liquorice. Even so the blonde still had soooo many places he could take the girl. Him in particular because he could get to places no one else could due to his pokemon and clever thinking.[break][break]

Alas, the girl was...warming- Yeah maybe that was the term- up to him in a trusting kinda abused snubull don’t touch me but you can look at me kind of way. “Hmmm so the wharf cafe might be a spot you’d like! But it can smell kinda fishy sometimes, but that’s the trade off for relaxing by the ocean.[break][break]

Billi blinked, “uuh….well what else…? Would I call you after you told me your name? It’s not like Elaine has a respectful nickname,” he stated confused by the girl and walked forwards, “Come on!” he urged her to follow him down the street, “You got any pokemon?”

“That sounds like it would work.” To be frank, she wasn’t so sure about where the man was suggesting, but she could only say that was due to relative unfamiliarity with the city. But, if he had an idea of a quaint little location, she would he fine. As long as she wasn’t attacked by a swarm of Wingull for her food, it would be fine. Probably.

But, as she followed him, she realized something important.

Ah. He didn’t introduce himself.

The man knew her name, but she didn’t know his. And unfortunately for her, the topic had already shifted to something else entirely.

Elaine was once the type who could be seen as completely calm under pressure. Even during the toughest of cases, her countenance would never once show a semblance of cracking.

Yet, her she was, clearly sweating and mentally stumbling. Ah, how the great ace detective of the past had fallen.

“Y-yeah. I have a few.” She picked out a random Pokeball from the three full ones. Did she notice that her eyes were wide as she spoke. Her mind had barely taken in what she was hearing as her inner self pulled at its hair and screamed.

WHAT DO I CALL HIM?!

He listened to the girl as they slowly walked along the paved paths. “Oh what are they?” he asked curiously as he let his Yamper out of his pokeball. The tiny big booty pupper jumped at the strangers legs drooling on her. “Oh. I’m Billi by the way” The male huffed and smiled as he turned to the girl. He walked down in the direction of the water. “So I’mma gonna get a wailmer cappuccino!” he nodded, “What are you gonna get!”[break][break]

Yet….the dummy still didn’t give his name.

Taking a second after she pulled out her Pokeball, she thought.

Wait. This is Ginga’s Pokeball. Did I grab this one on reflex?

Without a further thought, she put it back into her bag. After all, Ginga was not exactly the type of Pokmon to let out in the middle of a city like this. Instead, the best one to pick up was probably...

“Fiamma. Come out.”

The fire pup jumped out, landing next to the electric corgi that had been let out nearby it.

“I’m personally in the mood for some tea. I always felt that kind of thing complemented the waves of the sea in the daytime the best.”

Despite the rocky start, she had found herself falling fairly easily into his pace. As much as she was not a fan of being the follower, she would let it slide. Just this once.

“The other one I picked up, Ginga, isn’t really a fan of cramped places like cities.”

“Ohh it’s soo cute!” Billi grinned as he looked down at the fire pup! It was so cute and tiny, and even more that Yamper looked at the new dog and gave a playful bark. Trying to get the pokemon to play with him. “ooh and what is that?!” he asked trying to figure out what pokemon it was.

Elaine found herself chuckling as the two dog Pokemon began to play around, with Fiamma taking a moment to back up and poise itself for a game of tag...or a race. Whatever it could come up with that involved running around, really.

“Ginga’s a bit big and being a steel-type, it can cause damage to structures if it’s not careful, so it prefers to stay in a Pokeball whenever we’re near anywhere populated.”

The hulk looked down as the puppies played. Some kind of tag or race, either way it was still cute and fun. It was all so strange. He was impressed by the women’s words! Just how small could it be? Maybe it was a steelix. “oh is it a steelix?” Billi asked cutely.
