Jayce held the capture ball in his hand and smirked down to Ridley "See this Ridley? You got a new friend already. And I don't even have to name him! Oh...you think maybe I should name our Rhyhorn...hmm...I'll think about it and name him back at the hotel" Jayce said to Ridley as he was looking up inquisitively at the capture ball. Jayce gave the associate a thumbs up "Don't worry about ole Cetus, I'll be sure to be a good home for him" Jayce said, either optimistically or foolishly. With Jayce, those normally went hand in hand.
As they returned to the hotel, Jayce plumped down in the recliner set next to one of the beds and kicked his boots up on the nearby table "Phew, I'm exhausted already, and we haven't even done much today. So, Frankie, what Pokemon did you get?" he inquired. Ridley began pawing at the chair to try to get up into Jayce's lap. "Aww, look at him, he is trying to be a lap Pokemon. Come on Ridley, come on up here" Jayce encouraged. Immediately, Jayce regretted everything as Ridley sprang up, landing right on Jayce's lap in all his 120 lb. fury, causing Jayce to cough out and get the wind knocked out of him.

Leona just raised a brow at Jayce as Nuada sat on the floor below her chair waiting for the new pokemon to be revealed. "Is that a real mans lap pet? You and Nuada learn in similar manners... interesting." She then picked up the capture ball inlaid with topaz and opened it. on the floor in front of her appeared a very small sandshrew with a pink bow on its head. "Meet Brigit."
Nuada sniffed all around the new pokemon and nudged her a couple of times. Brigit for her part after the first few nudges rolled up into a ball. at which point Nuada started to roll her around the room. Leona merely observed, taking down notes, a small smile on hr face but nothing more. After watching her pokemon for a while she turned to Jayce. "What about your wailmer. He can fit in the room. And they don't require water all the time."

Jayce shoved Ridley off his lap, who hit the ground with a resonating thud as he rolled around and back on his feet. When Leona summoned her Sandshrew, Jayce waved at it "Welcome to the team, Brigit!" Ridley had also gone over to investigate the new Pokemon, only to be interrupted by Nuada rolling it around like a ball. Ridley suddenly began shuffling after the two, attempting to join in on the festivities.
"Oh right, I guess he could probably fit in here as well. He's only the size of a people" Jayce said as he pulled out the capture ball and threw it on the ground. It opened up and out popped Cetus, the bad whale, who seemed to have a grumpy look on his face. "Hey there buddy, why do you look so down? We took you out of that cramped glass container, didn't we?" Jayce said, getting up and walking to the Wailmer. He pat Cetus on the head "We are going to be great friends, aren't we?" he said. Suddenly, Cetus opened his mouth and chomped down on Jayce, leaving only his legs dangling out. With a look of pure disgust, Cetus spit Jayce out and he fell backwards on his back, staring up at the ceiling "...the best of friends...." he said, shocked at the experience that just happened.

Leona was never one for lax discipline when it was deserved, but only when deserved. This whale deserved it. "Nuada, Shift Electric, Administer disciplinary shock. Bad Whale. Bad Cetus. We don't attack our trainers." Nuada jumped up from playing with the other pokemon, shifted into Jolteon shocked the wailmer with a very low dosage of electricity.
Nuada looked up to Leona inquisitively. "Nu no understand. Whale no shockee." Leona herself was puzzled. Nuada was right, the apaathetic whale did seem oddly unbothered by the electricity. "Ok... Time for Science! Nuada. Electrical attacks against the whailmer in pulses every fifteen seconds increasing power output by half each time."
Nuada began to shock the whale, and each time cetus just rolled it's big black eyes at them. This went on for a good three minutes untill Nuada spoke up. "Nu at max...unless Nu use thunder. Not safe indoors. not fun for Nu. Please no thunder Master." Leona tossed him a treat. "Nuada its ok. rest now... I've seen enough."
Leona pulled a speaker out of her bag that looked alot like Nuada's speaker and began to tinker with it. She looked up rarely, watching the bad whale and Jayce. "It seems to me that your Wailmer is special. It seems unaffected by electrical attacks that would have otherwise harmed others of it's type and race. that is very odd. Would you like to talk to him and see what he has to say about it?"

Jayce picked himself up off the floor as he saw Nuada shocking Cetus, who appeared to not be amused at all. He looked puzzled, "Hey...isn't he a water type?" Jayce inquired, pointing at the bad whale. At the offer of the speech device, Jayce jumped up from the floor "Yeah! That way we can communicate with him and see what he has to say!" he said optimistically. He took the collar from Leona and looked around to where he could put it on "Uh....how does...this work?" he questioned to the apathetic whale. Finally, Jayce just hooked the collar onto one of Cetus' ear thingies and backed away "So...Cetus...how do you feel?"
Cetus yawned and suddenly, just like Nuada, could verbalize his thoughts in a robotic tone. "You bother me. I will not speak with the stupid one" he said, turning his gaze to Leona as Jayce sat there stupified. "I don't know why your crazy Pokemon's attacks do no affect me, but that is a nice way to establish friendships. My best solution would be that being in pain is just too much to be asked of me, so I simply do not care enough" He turned back to Jayce "And I get bought by such an incompetent looking man? Oh what a fate that Cetus, the great Whale Lord, has befallen!" he stated.
Ridley, becoming curious over the new Pokemon, shuffled up to it and began nudging Cetus with his nose. "What are you doing, little one? Stop that! Stop!" Cetus said as Ridley found out he could roll the bad whale, rolling Cetus over on his head. Not amused, Cetus just sat there, upside down "Cetus is not amused...."

Leona rolled her eyes at Cetus. "I hate to break it to you Whale lord but you are just a Wailmer and not looking like a runner up in the race for evolving, but who knows. Sorry about the discipline/science. My curiosity gets the best of me, though a good shock to tell someone they have been bad is a good deterrent. I do it with Jayce all the time except its in the form of verbal whipping and sarcasm. He doesn't get it right away but eventually it catches up to him and he learns. Slow, but amusing."
She made a few motions and Nuada hopped up and ran over to her. Following his example, and likely because she didn't want to be left alone, Brigit followed and then clambered up into Leona's lap. "Cetus, your apparent invulnerability to electrical attacks could actually lead you to becoming a mighty wailord. This divergence from the norm places you as a prime example of the epitome of your race. you are a whale above all others. with a good trainer that takes care of you and does not send you to battle needlessly, you could be a giant among ants. But you have to give him a chance. I mean what is better. Running free with us and being able to grow your magnificent power, or sitting in that tub?"

Jayce just nodded in agreement to what Leona was saying, almost missing the subtle jab she decided to take at him. "Yeah, Frankie talks to me like that all the time and....hey....that's not nice..." he said, demoralized.
When Leona's offer was on the table, Cetus looked at her and then over to Jayce, who just gave him a goofy smile and waved his hand. Cetus then looked over at Nuada and Brigit, then to Ridley who was now on the floor looking up at him inquisitively. He just sighed "I suppose your words do carry some weight, human. Very well, I, Cetus, shall indulge this little notion. I can't just ignore those who admire and acknowledge greatness..." he then glared over at Jayce "...but don't get all buddy buddy with me. I care not for this team of yours, but I do find myself in the awkward position of being in your debt from rescuing from the purgatory tank. You will have the mighty Cetus' power at your disposal, do not abuse this privilege"
Jayce smiled and clapped his hands together as he approached Cetus "Hey, no worries bud, I'll make sure you are the greatest Wailmer in the region! I'm sure you will be a great asset to our team, right Ridley?" he said as he began to pet the overturned whale's belly. Cetus visually snarled at Jayce "...Abused!" he said as he opened his mouth and enclosed Jayce again, Ridley slowing backing away to let the two....'bond'.

Leona just sighed as the two in front of her goofed off some more. "Please Cetus, put him down. I need him for discussions. Your input will be valued too since you are of such a high intellect for one of your kind. We need to discus the Pokehosts business that will be a cover for a underground base of operations for a resistance of sorts."
Leona picked up her coffee off the table and sipped it lightly. "What I would like to do is have Jayce be the face of the poke hosts. He's pretty, he's warm and welcoming. He can be doting and charming when he likes and we'll need that. I can supply the money, and have already commissioned the building, both above and below..."
As if remembering that she had a package, she picked up the small package on the table, opened it up, and pulled out a shining silvery almost liquid like object. "Nuada. Come here." Nuada wandered over to his master and looked up with a grin. Leona leaned over and laid the metal coat over Nuada, where it clung to his body like it was stuck with electricity. "Nuada. Go and stare at Ridley. Think Steel thoughts. Be the steel. Try to focus on shifting into steel. as if your body were steel. We are going to try and get you a new type. Be like Ridley."
With that Nuada walked over and sat in front of Ridley, staring at the pokemon unblinking.

Cetus rolled his eyes and finally spit Jayce back out "Fine...he tasted like stupid anyways. And I don't know, or want to know, where he has been" Cetus stated, nestling back in his spot. As he regained his equilibrium, Jayce caught what Leona was talking about, but it didn't seem to sink in yet. He wiped the whale slober off of himself as he spoke "Wow, Frankie, that's really nice of you to say. See, you should compliment people more often and...hey wait, whaaaaaaaat?!" Jayce exclaimed as he finally realized what Leona was saying. "About time those synapses began to work..." Cetus taunted, not amused. Jayce sat up and looked up to Leona "So...you want me....to be the head of this, female service organization? What....exactly am I expected to do?" he inquired, suspiciously and hopefully.
Meanwhile, as the humans plus Cetus talked, Ridley was amused with Nuada staring at him. In return, he began to stare back trying his hardest not to blink. He buckled down and his eyes looked determined behind his steel mask. Finally, after a long minute of staring, Ridley's attention was lost and he began to tilt over, still not blinking. He fell on his side and began to wobble, his gaze no longer on Nuada but now on whatever was in front of him. He still hadn't blinked.

Imitating Ridly like he was told, or so far as he took the orders, Nuada rolled over on his side still staring ahead just like the little steel pokemon. This was a fun game for him.
Sipping her drink some more, Leon proceeded to explain to Jayce her elaborately simple plan. "Look Jayce, there are many many girls out there, single and lonely, that would pay good money to have what they like to think of is a perfect date. This goes for guys too. I plan to gather up beautiful guys and gals and then have them be these perfect dates. A client will come to the complex and partake of movies, picnics, evenings under the stars, you name it we'll emulate it in our holo rooms; proprietary disclosures will all be signed of course as the tech belongs to me primarily with a undersigned team from marygold labs as well. These desirous people will get to have the fun they have dreamed of and we make money and pay. You Jayce will be the head of this venture... I will remain in the background as your financial backer and accountant. It's perfect really...."
She reached over to the table and picked up a folder with some photos and other plans inside and tossed them over to her companion. "There are the design specifications for the compound. Pricing by time, rank of host, and complexity of date. menus, and of course all the legal documents..."

Jayce's mind went everywhere except where it probably should. Dates with pretty girls? Fulfilling their wildest dreams? Jayce clinched his fist "Alright! I can do this! It will be my service to all the lonely women out there!" As Jayce exposed his bravado, Ridley picked himself up off the floor and continued to stare at Nuada, enjoying the little game he and his friend were having...whatever it may be. Cetus just sighed in the corner "Service? Hah! I'm about to service my flipper upside your head, human" he taunted.
When Jayce started looking through the legal documents, and everything else Leona threw at him, his excitement quickly switched to boredom. "Maaaaan, aren't you supposed to handle all this? I don't really get what all of this is supposed to be." He put the documents down on the table and leaned back in his chair, kicking his boots up on the table "Can't I just flirt with all the pretty girls? I mean, it's what I'm good at" he said. Cetus rolled his way over to the table "Jayce....your incompetence astounds me. Maybe if you were..." Cetus began saying, suddenly interrupted by Ridley tackling the side of him, followed by Nuada doing the same. "Small ones, stop! What are you doing? This is demeaning....I'll eat you!" Cetus threatened as the two continued to roll the whale around the room like a beach ball.
