It wasn't likely the old man had anything to do with this incident, but the other two... Lorne figured they must be the culprits. It was too bad he didn't know anything about them. He was probably too distracted by how gorgeous that woman was to remember the really important details. In any case, he certainly wasn't going to forget her. Maybe in time, he could learn a little more.

For now, Lorne decides to go speak with River. He figures if anyone has useful information, it's got to be her, so he makes his way to the gym.

Tristan:
The Goomy opens its mouth wide again, slurping Tristan's hand and eating the entire great ball. Oddly enough, the Goomy flashed red and got sucked into the Great Ball, caught.

#Will post Goomy in OOC

Jonathan:
Jonathan arrives at the Battle Needle, which he has to admit is a pretty nifty piece of architecture. A long elevator shaft narrows to a point at the top, where a giant disk (the viewing platform) rotates on top, painted to look like a Pokeball. Tourists are snapping photos and milling around. He quickly finds a kiosk labeled Tickets/Information and the ticket lady waves at him.

"Hi there! Are you here for brunch, or just the viewing platform? Oh!" the woman says, noticing Jonathan's apron and chef's hat. "Are you here to compete? We still have an opening for a competitor in our Brunch Battle if you're interested. No registration fees, you just need to pass a couple cooking skill drills so we can make sure you're competent. But I'm afraid I can't sign you up for a Dinner Deathmatch until you've won Brunch - Champions Only."

Lorne:
Lorne remembers he's already sitting in the Gym! Albeit, a coffee house in the Gym. Thinking about that woman made him oblivious to the cheering and screaming that was happening around him. As he looked out the window, he saw River was fighting a challenger. It was that friend of Ziggy Trax's from yesterday that he had briefly met.

#Feel free to commentate in the other thread

Jonathan:
"Fantastic! Take this keycard and go into the elevator labeled 'Chefs Only.' You're stop intermittently on your way up for a challenge. If you pass all the skill drills, you get to compete in Brunch Battle. Good luck!"

"A Goomy! Cool!" Tristan exclaims to his nearby Pokémon. Ruby had eventually made her way back after luring the others off.

<<To: Jonathan>>
Hey Jon! Do you think you could whip me up a couple Pokéballs? Say, two or three depending on the price? What was that price again, by the way?
<<End Dext>>

Tristan felt bad about using one of the Great Balls on a Pokémon like this when a regular Pokéball probably would have done the trick. But at least Goomy had an elegant ball. He placed the Pokéball in the 'Dex port and watched as it dematerialized on its way to the PC. He'd have to see what all that little guy could do later.

Finally getting to work, Tristan spends an hour and a half tending his growing crop, and blocks up the hole the Goomy swarm had made with a crate he found inside the Greenhouse. All the while, Otto, Lolo, and Ruby are there to help him. He teaches basic gardening to the little Sewaddle and Lotad, and Ruby helps him guide their efforts. Otto becomes an excellent weeder, gobbling up weeds in a jiff, while Lolo's watering abilities are impeccable... after some trial and error.

#Training with Otto; 4 XP
#Otto learns the Move Bug Bite.

Checking on his hydroponic grower, he sees that the Lum berry plant is already bearing fruit. "Wow," he remarks aloud. "That... Now that is impressive."

Lum Berry Yield Roll: [result]3&2,1d3,1,3&1d3+1[/result] (-2 Base, +2 from Grower; +1 from Botanist)

After harvesting the Lum berries, Tristan allows the plant to rest until tomorrow. Next up, he has some simple maintenance to do. Releasing Byron (his Combee) and Felix (Vivillon), he lets them stretch their wings and fly around between the two Greenhouses. "Byron, you're on pollenation duty. Make sure you visit all of the local flowers and cross pollenate with the ones here in the greenhouses. Survey the area, too. Felix, track down any bugs and try to move them to better homes."

Byron flies off happily, darting among the flowers.

#Byron uses Honey Gather
#Byron uses Pick-Up: [result]17&17,1d20,0,17&1d20[/result]

Felix spots some bugs, and gently guides them with a purple beam that extrudes from his head. Tristan hadn't seen that before, but he guessed it was a bug thing.

#Felix learns the Move Psybeam.

Finally, Tristan transfers Byron for Reginald once the little Combee has finished his job. Reggie had some new growths on his back, and Tristan set to work.

Mushroom Harvest Ability: [result]13&13,1d20,0,13&1d20[/result]
Tiny Mushroom Yield Roll: [result]2&2,1d3,0,2&1d3[/result] (-2 Base, +1 for Botanist. -1 Total, not included)

After all that, roughly two hours had passed. Tristan was feeling much more relaxed now; gardening really centered him.

Jonathan's pokedex buzzes as he enters the elevator. <<Sure. Same design as before? 100 each and 50 bucks labor besides. Alternatively, I would totally trade you for some of your delicious botanicals.>>

<<Yup. Same design. I've got quite a crop growing right now, actually. You'd probably be most interested in the Lum and Figy berries, though you're welcome to come take a look. Oh, Reggie's also been helping me grow some mushrooms. I'm at the greenhouses near the gasworks now, or you're welcome to borrow the key card.>>

Jonathan:
The elevator is made of glass, so as Jonathan starts to rise into the air, he slowly gets a better view of Rainshadow City and the surrounding area. But it quickly stops and the doors open to a small room. There's a table with celery, onions, and basil, as well as some sharp knives (not like Jonathan needed those).

"Welcome," said a computerized voice from the ceiling. "Your first skill drill will be a test of knife skills. You may be aided by one Pokemon. Please demonstrate a medium dice, brunoise, julienne, and chiffonade with whichever ingredients you find appropriate. You will be judged on your speed and uniformity. Your challenge begins in 3...2...1...*DING*"

#Do a little description and an Intuition roll for each, and whatever other rolls you think may help with this challenge

Tristan:
40 EXP to Otto for befriending the Goomy & helping weed
20 EXP Felix for laziest flower picking ever
10 EXP each to everyone else who helped out

Byron buzzes back, body sticky from honey. But he seems to be holding something that's shimmering and beautiful....a Moon Stone! Where did he find that?!

"Whoa! Nice find, Byron!" Tristan says as he collects the honey and pulls out the Moon Stone. "Maybe I won't need to call father after all..."

Tristan wraps up his business, and walks back across the gasworks arboretum, seeing if anyone is around. The Pokémon with him didn't have much battling experience, and a friendly battle might be nice.
