The fall season had not yet kissed the grounds of the estate. The grass was still as lush a green as it had always been, as were the shrubberies lining the drive and footpaths. However the end of summer still brought ever briefer days. While normally a disappointment, tonight's agenda meant the early onset of dusk was a welcome change.
[break][break]
The setting sun painted sky painted an array of colors across the polished white of the lavish home, even in the satin finish of the two teak doors that formed the home's main entrance. Perhaps this evening's visitor would even take a moment to admire their reflection in either of the door's gilded knockers. And when they opened, of course it would be Reginald.
[break][break]
''Ribom! Ribombee!'' A wee bow tie around his neck the bug type ushered the visitor into the grand foyer. Atop the double stair cases in front of a painting of an old man stood tonight's host. A simple tee shirt and shorts contrasted greatly with the grandiose environment. Perhaps it would be a touch of the comfortable casual in a field of alien class.
[break][break]
''Yo,'' Andy greeted casually, like it was no big deal he was standing in a mansion. ''This is Reginald the Ribombee. He's my aunt's butler. He'll take care of any shit you brought with you.'' It was all introduction one oh one as he leaned on the banister. While he wasn't sure how Aedan lived, there was the sneaking suspicion that it wasn't this.

Aedan Quigley and Andy Blackadder like this

"Wow... it's so freakin' big!"

Aedan had never stepped foot in a house so decked out. His family was a bunch of packrats cooped into a town house. He'd shared a room most of his life. Wore hand-me-downs, etc. So it was all a bit much, and although it left him feeling sheepishly embarrassed, it was comforting to be welcomed by a Ribombee and Andy to help take away the shock from the awe. But he was out of his element.

Taking off his coat and surrendering his luggage to Ribombee, he took a few more steps into the threshold before pausing. "Should I, uhm... Do I need to take off my shoes to c-come in i-inside? Or should I just..."

He nearly stammered over the syllables, hoping not to offend his host's house rules. Such courtesies were lost on his family, the very notion alien to him.

''It's fine. Reggie will take care of any mess.'' The ribombee gave the boy a look. Typically it was satisfied with its lot in life, but Arceus help him he had to attend to a teenage boy who knew he would be picked up after. Dreaded were the forrays into the guest bedroom to deal with the disaster zone Andy created every week.
[break][break]
''As long as you're not taking an axe to anything, you're good.'' He waved for the other boy to follow him as waited for him to climb the staircase. Once he was there he pushed himself off the bannister and led Aedan through a hallway. The polished hardwood floors were mostly obscured by a crimson carpet with a decorative gold design.
[break][break]
Paintings lined the wall, some were landscapes and others were portraits, a few of which had features suspiciously similar to the Blackadder boy. Dim lights in gilded fixtures on the wall did little to complete against the window at the hall's end. At the last door Andy stopped and twisted the handle, stepping aside so that his guest could enter first.
[break][break]
Inside was more polished hardwood. Another rug covered most of it. One entire wall of the room was large windows and a double door that likely led out to a balcony. The curtains were all pushed aside to allow the glowing sunset into the room. A canopy bed filled most of one wall, the curtains tied back to reveal a snoozing Epitaph.
[break][break]
The size of it was enough to sleep three Andys or maybe even four if a couple cuddled. The rest of the space was lined with chester drawers, a large oak footlocker, a matching chifforobe, a vanity, and a desk. Each were piled with a collection of laundry which varied in size, food wrappers as well as a book or paper here and there.
[break][break]
A door on the wall beside the bed could have been either a bathroom or a closet.
[break][break]
''Well,'' Andy said with a sweeping motion of his arm, '"here it is.''

Following up after Andy, he couldn't help but take a look ahead past Andy's caboose between glances at the ornate trinkets and classical paintings dotting the household.

There was just so much junk in this house. Desirable junk, but junk to be sure, as Aedan hardly knew what to do with half the things he saw while touring the hallways.

After pushing through the extensive corridors leading deeper into Andy's not-so-humble abode, Andy heaves open a door and ducks into the room with Aedan hot on his heels. He bumps into Andy when he stops abruptly, trying to stick close in such an alien environment.

"Oops, sorry," he starts muttering apologetically.

And then the realization hits.

"This is your room??!? It's the size of my ENTIRE living room...!" Truth be told, most of the house bespoke a luxury afforded by generations of investment into the family's fortune. The fineries adorning the walls and cluttering their furniture had already driven it home before he saw for himself just how luxuriously Andy lived just within the confines of his room. What a lucky guy! He envied Andy.

"Hey, I remember him," Aedan jeered at the snoozing Gengar. "Didja have any other pokemon I could meet? Maybe we should let them out so they can play..."

Hoping that Andy would indulge him this small pleasure, he awaits his host's response with bated breath, his mouth hanging agape at the prospect of meeting some of Andy's other pokemon. Aedan even had a few pokemon of his own tucked away in his pockets, waiting to be unleashed.

As expected, his guest was quite impressed. Part of it was to indulge his pride, showing off like this. No matter where you went, there were always people of limited means. It was odd, as really he didn't feel as if he were better than Aedan, as a human being at least. If he did he wouldn't have bothered inviting him here in the first place. But here the other boy was oohing and ahhing and running into him.
[break][break]
''It's the guest room. I just stay here. All this place was my uncle's. Now aunt just kinda wallows in it.'' And even then he didn't stay here all the time. Typically he used his camp more than anything, which while nice for a camp, wasn't all of this. The conversation they held, especially Aedan's particular attention caused the gengar to stir slightly. Casting a half lidded glare he rolled over to face away from them.
[break][break]
''Kinda,'' he admitted honestly to the ginger's query, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. He didn't have a ton of pokemon yet. Turning to saunter towards the balcony, he waved for Aedan to follow him. Pressing the swooping, curled handle down, Andy stepped outside but didn't quite go all the way to the railing before looking around. The immediate lack of his bug pokemon caused a crease of concern on his face.
[break][break]
''Rav?'' He noticed the winged shadow on the floor almost as soon as he called her name, and turned to find Ravana lighted on the side of the house, not far above the door. ''Yanmega,'' she greeted cheerfully, wings rising and falling slowly. Andy gustured to further direct his friend's attention. ''This is Ravana, my oldest pokemon. She's often how I travel.''

"Eeeeew, a bug? Hrmm...." Aedan didn't like to react to pokemon in such a way, knowing how dejected it made them feel, and yet... creepy crawlers were an exception. Luckily Ravana knew they were loved, and so in spite of Aedan's lack of enthusiasm, they both seemed happy enough to make the other's acquaintance. "Hi, Rav."

It was mildly shocking to find out he flew her around, given her stature, but then Aedan supposed they were both rather lightweight in frame compared to the Yanmega. Still, it left him perturbed, only for the fact that he'd considered what holding on against such a chitinous surface must've felt like, what with the creature bzzzt'ing beneath one's grasp as they straddled it. Unsettling was putting it lightly.

I can't introduce Rav to Swain, they might not... get along... While some birds weren't predisposed towards violent, his Corvisquire was a shrewd, clever creature that proved to be quite the opportunist. So instead he released Wilbur, his Piloswine, to keep her company. "This is Wilbur."

Wilbur boasted a warm, friendly demeanor and asked for nothing more than the opportunity to slump against the ground for some peace and quiet. In that, he was the perfect companion for cozying up. Perhaps a bit shy to a fault, the gentle giant was at least kind to those as were kind to it, and almost never acted out of aggression without provocation. Aedan gave him a pat.

Pulling away his hand and finding himself clung to by Wilbur's shedding coat, he sighed, swiping his hand violently against his pants. "He sheds a lot, though." Aedan gave Wilbur a bit of a stern look: Don't track it inside.

His face scrunched at Aedan's reaction. Of course he knew the old girl was used to it. His mother being a bug type trainer had exposed him to a lot of anti-insect sentiments growing up. Then again, perhaps it was different for him because he had always been around bug pokemon. Ravana paid the slight no mind. She had heard worse in her time.
[break][break]
''Bro...'' he scolded in almost a whisper. Probably as nice as it ever got for Andy, perhaps uncharacteristically so. Still, it seemed the ginger forced himself, so his own bristling lessened some. It still looked liked his guest was disgusted with the yanmega though. Yet, the other boy seemed to make himself get over it and released a pokemon of his own.
[break][break]
''Oh, a piloswine.'' Personally he would have never owned such a pokemon. It wasn't a ghost for one, but beyond that it looked so... mundane. Although it also appeared as cuddly as they came, ~~a bit like Aedan himself~~. He tentatively reached out to join in on the petting, and found the creature's mane coarse and wiry. Well, it was good for some protection he supposed.
[break][break]
Once he too came away with a hand full of hair, he joined the other teen in wiping it on Aedan's clothes.
[break][break]
''Shit, you ain't lying there.'' He observed as he deposited the strands onto enfurred garments with a mischievous grin. Aedan's texture as a human being was much more pleasant than the piloswine's. ''Yanmega...'' The pokemon scolded her trainer, but the reprimand was so light that Andy barely noticed.

"Jerk," Aedan spits back at Andy, swiping furiously at the strands of hair before buffing them on the shoulder playfully. I even gave him a warning. At some point he'd realized Andy was deliberately... whatever he was. Crude would probably fit the bill.

Was he trying to escalate the situation somehow?

Aedan wouldn't think much of it, deciding on the spot to take a seat crisscross applesauce, using piloswine as a sort of pillow. He didn't really seem to mind, but he did snort and oink a bit.

Aedan always assumed those were happy noises.

"So... where is your family, again?"
