Surprisingly, Flynt seemed pleased that they had a small number of people to work with this time around. It was his turn to be the support as he took Pippa's hand and offered a squeeze that meant a strong sense of reassurance. Though he had completely forgotten some dirt still lingered on his hands from planting their respective gracidea seeds. An apologetic smile formed as he quickly retracted his hands to give them a proper cleaning. He used some antibacterial wipes for his hands and then quickly cleaned Pippa's.

"We may have few numbers, but it's perfect! We'll be able to keep track of everyone's performance and divide things a bit more fairly," he reasoned. "Given our financial approach, I say we plant roots in a big city, maybe Rustboro?"

Rustboro was a city that saw plenty of financial overturnings. They were home to Devon Corp, a large manufacturer of Hoenn's pokeballs, so finance was no stranger to this city. Flynt clasped his hands together as he smiled at the three associates they got to start out with. They had to celebrate their newfound partnership, did they not?

"I hope it's not too forward of a leap, but I made some things for a small picnic to celebrate our new partnership. I'm hoping we can all work well together."

The gesture came in a way Flynt had dug into his bag to retrieve a container of egg salad, fresh homemade bread, and meat and cheese options for those who didn't favor egg salad. It wasn't long until he dug out a picnic blanket for them all to sit on and bond. Even his Leafeon seemed to take delight in joining, as she popped out of her pokeball and quickly trotted over to Pippa to nuzzle at her ankles as if she asked to see the other trainer's Sylveon.

"considering it's a financial sector of hoenn, it'll also be a lot more expensive to set up shop there." that wouldn't be an issue, she imagined, but it was worth noting. "we'll be rustboro-centric then." with a nod, the pink heiress took to flynt's hands after the quick cleaning and placing down of the first of many company get-togethers. this way that they were allowed to take care of their own personal 'branches' of the room would allow them more freedom --[break]
thus it would allow her more time personally with flynt.[break]
this was wonderful for pippa who was ready to get knee deep into the flussy. as if coinciding with this idea, the heiress's sylveon popped out of his pokeball eagerly as if sensing flynt's presence nearby and knowing what that meant. summoning itself on top of the leafeon near pippa, the sylveon used all four of its legs to curl around the leafeon possessively - effectively a backpack with a happy 've!' as pippa laughed off the antics before turning her focus on flynt. their pokemon could have their fun, but she had full intentions of focusing on just them right then and there. after all, their new recruits could take care of themselves.[break]
"it makes me a bit jealous to see you cook for a group, flynty. i thought those hands were only meant for me." putting said palms on her cheeks, she leaned her head into his grasp expectantly - an overplayed pout on her face. "but it's pretty cute - kind of like when you go over to the boss's place and their partner cooks up a really good meal or else you're forced to look down on your boss and their partner forevermore. we won't have that problem!" strangely specific but without explanation, pippa brought forth her rotom phone. it levitated in front of her as she pondered over the schematics of their new base. "i think we should invest plenty into the base structure. don't want to be collapsing on anything but you!" insinuating the base of operations would buckle and slam into the earth without a proper base, she was ready to start pushing most of their base funding into it (SUGGESTION PENDING OTHER PARTY APPROVAL: +50 POINTS INTO BASE HP). "what do you think, baby?"
