Leona sat at the edge of the pool in a tanning chair laying on her back, watching Nuada enjoy himself in the water as a vaporeon. She had a small green two piece on and only worried about the itch of her waterproof cast that covered her lower leg.
After going to the hospital they found that it had only been a fracture, but she would need the cast for a few weeks to allow it to heal without further damage. This was fine for her and she had immediately set them up in the master suite of one of the swankiest hotels the city had to offer. The past few days had been nothing but relaxing and swimming and good food brought to the room. It was fine this way until her package came in anyways.
She didn't expect much from Jayce so it was best to let him just enjoy himself. Her only problem was that he was a good looking young man, and had an awkwardness about him that so many found endearing that he attracted gaggles of girls to him here in PeachTree city. She was watching them hound him right now from across the pool. It was an amusing sideshow and good for watching him in a natural environment.

This was paradise! Jayce was out at a very expensive look hotel, in a very expensive looking pool, surrounded by beautiful females who could afford these expensive things. They were all huddled around him, his toned body attracting them to him. He was in bliss, giggling like a fool and smiling a shit eating grin. Ridley was curled up asleep next to Leona's chair, choosing to stay away from the giant death hole of water.
The girls ooo'd and awww'd at Jayce as he would flex his muscles and show off to them. The one thing that seemed to gain him the most attention, and nurture, from the fan girls, was those blasted leg cramps he received. He at one point crumpled over in pain from the leg cramp, causing all the girls to express concern for him. He responded with "I only get this way....when a truly beautiful woman graces me with her presence" to which they all swooned and became putty in his hands.
Once all the girls had to either leave or became bored, Jayce hobbled over to where Leona lay, his leg cramp healing up the closer he got to her. She looked very attractive in that two piece, but Jayce didn't even take notice or look down at her cleavage. He just walked up to her with that grin of his and exclaimed "Man this is paradise! I wouldn't mind if we never left here. Plus, the scenery is really nice" he said slyly as he looked across the way at a girl laying on her stomach sunbathing.

Leona looked up at him from under her sunglasses. "I'm glad you are having a good time Jayce. We might as well enjoy ourselves while I heal. I suspect that in a few days I'll be walking again so then we can carry on. I think that we'll need to hit the department store and I'll also pick up my parcel."
She picked up her peach sweet tea off the floor and took a long sip through the straw and then as she returned it she raised a brow at Jayce. "So I take note that whenever an attractive woman comes close to you you get leg cramps, however, that phenomenon doesn't seem to happen when I'm around. Is there something different about me? Am I not attractive? Hmm, that might put a damper in my plans..." She then reached down to grab a notebook and started jotting things down, now ignoring Jayce.

When she accused him, Jayce wasn't really sure how to respond. He had never really noticed that his leg cramps never showed up around Leona, especially now when she was in a very sexy two piece bathing suit. He paused for a moment, his brain working on a response that would hopefully not lead him down a 6 foot hole in the ground. Without much of a response, he looked to Ridley for an assist, who just shook his head and went back to his nap. Jayce just sat there as Leona went to her book "I...feel like I just accidentally set myself up for failure here..." he muttered.
Jayce then focused more on what Leona had mentioned at the end of her statement damper in her plans? and decided to inquire. "Wait, damper in your plans? What exactly are you planning?" he inquired, in an almost nervous tone.

Leona just smiled up at Jayce. "Once our business here in Peachtree has concluded, we will be heading down to Lagoon City, where I have already bought a plot of land, and am building us a ... menagerie of sorts. Underneath this top floor will be three subbasements for my labs and other needs as we will discuss later. The shop on top will serve as cover. What I have planned was for me to run a PokeHosts club where beautiful women and men will cater to the needs of their clients and dote on them in every manner. However it seems I'm not attractive enough to be the owner of such an establishment. Therefore you will be head host and I will be your business manager."
Nuada, who had decided to have some fun, jumped out of the water and swept a crowd of Jayces admirers into the pool with many giggles and squeals.

Jayce was blind sided by this plan. For one, it was weird for him to think of himself that way, but on the other hand...all those beautiful women. He stood there, rather slack jawed at Leona's plan, not really knowing how to fully handle the thought. Finally, he just went with the first thing that came to mind "Oh Frankie, don't say that! I'm sure you would be able to please any man with a body like yours!" he said, his foot obviously missing his mouth. Ridley just shook his head at his foolish trainer.

Leona just stared at the moron in front of her blankly after that horrid comment. "Nuada... you missed a spot..." She pointed to Jayce and in seconds the Vaporeon had gathered up a small wave and launched it at Jayce. As the water crashed down, Leona reached down and just rolled Ridley playfully away from the water to her other side. "Ah, that mist from the wave was refreshing. I think I've had enough sun now, I'm going to get tidied up. I think its shopping time. Meet me down in the lobby in a few please. Nuada, come along." It took her a moment, but she as up and on her crutch and hobling off with a happy eevee trailing her.
About an hour later she was dressed in a floral pattern sundress and seated down in the lobby waiting on Jayce. She was still a little concerned with his rampant idiocy but she was sure he could not be nearly as stupid as he put off.

"huh?" was all Jayce could say as he was swept up by a torrential wave and was now face down on the ground with some of his admirers on top of him. As Leona rolled Ridely over, it playfully growled as he enjoyed the rolling. Leona was fun! As she was leaving, Jayce looked up from between the legs of a girl sitting on his back "Hey Frankie!...was it something I said?" he inquired, completely missing the point. Ridley crawled over to his master and began to lovingly nuzzle his stupid trainer.
Jayce had gone back to change into his usual clothes and blue jacket, drying his long black hair and still dazed and confused over the scene at the pool. He turned to Ridley "Hey man, what was up with Frankie back there? Do you think, OH! Maybe she actually doesn't feel that confident about herself and feels like she will never get a boyfriend?!" he assumed. Ridley just sighed and shook his head at Jayce as he just let his trainer continue being stupid. "That's gotta be it! Oh man, and me hanging out with all those babes probably made her feel bad about herself. I gotta apologize to her"
With that, Jayce put on his boots and headed down to the lobby, where he saw Leona in her dress. He approached her casually, with his hand in the air "Hey Frankie!" he greeted. "Hey, look, sorry about the scene at the pool..." he began, Ridley looking up inquisitively, as if hoping Jayce would have a moment of clairvoyance and actually see what he did wrong. "...I know you probably don't feel good about yourself since you can't get a guy to like you. So I'll not have girls hang all over me in front of you anymore until we have the beat the guys off of you with a rake!" If Ridley had actual hands, he would have facepalmed.

If Leona had been the type of woman to get violent when angry, the crater that would have become Jayce's final resting place would have been very deep indeed. However, she understood that stupid people said stupid things because of a lack of learning or perhaps mental imbalances and as such she had to treat them differently.
"Jayce, your understanding is so clear and crisp... why you are like the Dragonite of men." She stared to crutch her way to a waiting Limo she had ordered. Nuada trotted by her side in Espion form. "But Isn't dragonite really stupid. Just pretty and strong as far as pokemon go?"
As Leon got into the back of the Limo and Nuada hopped in she smiled, "Why... how very astute of you... Such a smart boy you are..." she looked to Jayce. "Are you coming? We are heading to a breeder store first and foremost."

Jayce chuckled nervously at Leona's statement, missing her initial sarcasm and took it as a compliment. "Wow, you really think so, Frankie? That's awesome! Glad you aren't mad or anything!" he said, Ridley sighing behind him. Once Nuada spoke up, Jayce's optimism faded and he lowered his head "Oh....oh......so that's what you meant" he said, defeated.
Once she called him over, Jayce hurried into the other side of the limo, taking a moment to whistle at the fancy ride. Ridley scurried up into the limo before Jayce and curled up at Leona's feet so he could brace himself for the ride. Jayce sat in the back across from Leona and stretched his arms, crossing them behind his head as he lounged. "So, what do we need from a breeder store?" he inquired, forgetting about Leona's parcel she needed to pick up.

As they drove away and Jayce asked his question, Leona just smiled. "Jayce, why else would I visit a breeder shop. I need supplies for taking care of pokemon. As well as I placed an order for a soon to hatch egg or recently born pokemon so that I could raise it and it will bond with me. No I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to see what it is when we get there. Know only that it is of a type that Nuada can not shift into yet." "I'm a good boy." "Yes you are Nuada... and you will get stronger by being around pokemon of differing types. I believe it to be the key to opening up your new evolutions now that your limiters are gone."
She fell into silence until they came to the Breeder store. Her chauffeur helped her out and walked her to the door to leave her with her crutch. She hobbled inside and sat down to wait for an attendant. Around her were cages filled with common pokemon to be bought or traded. Most would become pets. Some of the stronger ones were sold to be trained as protection. Not many caught their own pokemon now that the electronic capture ball system had failed. It was too dangerous now and the old way, the odd mystic balls that almost seemed to defy science, were expensive to have made.
"Look round the store Jayce. We need to build up your team so if you see anything you might like, let me know and we will have a specimen brought out for you to see if you match. I would like to see you with a full team as soon as possible,even if they need to be swapped out later. I think it's wisest that we do that... I'll wait for my order here."

As Jayce meandered through the store, Ridley followed closely behind with a sense of curiosity. There were a lot of Pokemon to choose from, and Jayce would momentarily stop by specific ones to look at them, only to turn away due to not feeling a good vibe from them. Ridley was one thing, he rescued him from the Syndicate and created an eternal bond that way. His Rhyhorn was caught fair and square, and acknowledged Ridley as a worthy traveling companion. However, adopting from a breeder was...new to Jayce. He had to make sure the Pokemon he picked up would be compatible with him, listen to him, and help protect Leona if the need arose.
After much searching, Jayce found his way to the outside and was near a giant aquarium style field. All of the aquatic type Pokemon were here to be viewed, and Jayce had pretty much given up on all the others. Most of what the breeder carried were meant to be pets, or cute gifts for significant others, what Jayce wanted was something cool, and big. After a while of searching, he came across a tank that displayed a Wailmer who looked, extremely apathetic. He would just lay at the bottom of his tank, not looking like he cared about anything in the world. Jayce pressed his face up against the glass tank, staring over at the now perturbed looking whale Pokemon.
"That's it! That's my Pokemon!" he yelled as he looked down to Ridley "He looks so unhappy in there. We just gotta get him out. I'm sure he will be so appreciative and happy that we rescued him from his wet glass prison that he will be more than happy to help out! Come on Ridley, let's go tell Frankie!" Jayce said, bolting off as Ridley bounded behind him. The Wailmer just sighed as bubbles left its mouth and nestled itself back into its spot. What Jayce didn't see, was a sign on the side of the tank that read 'Cetus. The bad whale. Adopt at your own risk'.

When Jayce got back to Leona she had just been looking at a few images and then waved the attendant away with a choice. She was smiling lightly and Nuada was nowhere to be seen. She looked up as her companion approached her. "There you are... have you found a friend you might like to adopt? I know it's different than catching one, but adopting from a reputable breeder, and trust me this some is one of the best. The owners breed superior lines of pokemon. They also rescue Pokemon from bad trainers. I do think I've chosen mine, did you?"
Off in the other side of the store where the water types were. Nuada was playing with some by dipping his tail in the water. Suddenly a magicarp bit down hard on his tail and he bolted because of the pain. "It like Nu too much... Nu new friend is to friendsome" He ran back towards the front and made circles around Jayce, with a magicarp on his tail.

As Nuada began running around Jayce, Ridley watched his friend panic and run in circles. He eventually got dizzy and fell over, his eyes spinning. Jayce quickly knelt down and grabbed the Magikarp, pulling up Nuada with it. "Hey! No, bad fishy! Let go of Nuada! He is our friend, not food!" Jayce exclaimed as he began to shake the Magikarp, unknowingly also shaking Nuada along with it.
Finally, the Magikarp let go of Nuada, causing the Eevee to fall to the floor with a thwomp. Jayce nervously chuckled as he looked over to Leona "Uh...hehe...well...at least his tail is free!" Jayce said, already feeling the scorn from her. "Anyways, yeah, I think I did...there is this Wailmer out there that looks really unhappy, so I figured we could adopt it and get it out of its glassy prison, you know, kind of what I did for Ridley...except much bigger, and not so Syndicate-y"

Nuada rolled about on the floor, happily free from the magikarp, as the attendant came back with a beautiful brown capture ball inlaid with topaz gems. Leona took the ball and laid it in her lap and gestures to Jayse. "My associate would like to adopt the Wailmer you have in the back.
The associate turned white as a sheet. "I feel I must warn you that Cetus has been returned no less than 45 times in the past six months... he's the bad whale... the owners think he's just in need of a special trainer but no one can handle him..." Leona smile again. "That will be fine. Please, have him placed in a capture ball and we will train him. Jayce is the right man for the job. He has the fortitude to deal with a hard headed pokemon."
The attendant just nodded and then departed. A short while later she returned with a capture ball with a saphire set in it. the name Cetus was carved into it. "Here you go Mister Jayce. Praise be the spirits that Cetus has found a home." And with that she turned and walked away.
Leona stood up and got her crutch. "Let us return to the Hotel. I sent our driver to pick up my packages. Let us retire to the suite for now. You can make acquaintance with your new friend and mine."
