"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
He wasn't planning on leaving the town today, so he picked only most important things with himself as he went downstairs to the main hall. For now, he kept his team in their respective balls, to have them sit somewhere safe as he attempted on talking with the Accumula Center nurse. It was early morning and Valentine could already tell she was done with everything and it was going to be a long day, even for him. Eh, what a great way to start a day. But in his more usual style, he held his head high and smiled slightly, to appear more friendly and tolerable, especially to tired strangers.
Alright, maybe not, because she looked even more tired and annoyed now than before.
Vale's tactics weren't flawless and he knew it, but that didn't mean he can't keep on trying them.
"Good morning! May I ask something?" he called as he got closer to the reception desk. Nurse's Audino waved at him, so at least someone was in good mood.
"What is it?" woman didn't even look up from her computer. "If you Pokemon broke something, it's on you to-"
"Nono hell no. It's not about my Pokemons." Vale tried hard not to sound a bit annoyed with her tone and accusations. "At night two Pokemons entered my room through the window and-"
"Two Pokemons?" now she looked up at him, but she didn't look as surprised or anything. "Were they both blue? A Marill and a Mudkip?"
"I- Yes." that was quick. "Does that happen often here? You are not as surprised or bothered as I thought."
"Listen, if you had worked in here for as long, you would get used to this shit." nurse waved her hand dismissively, and picked up a phone. "To answer your question, yes. Those pests keep breaking into guest rooms since I remember. Sometimes they just sleep, other times they steal guests belongings and so on. Have you lost anything?"
"No, they were just sleeping and ran away as soon they saw me awake." Valentine said, still processing her reaction and narrowed his eyes. "They aren't really pests, just Pokemons."
"A wild Pokemon who barges in uninvited is simply a pest." she dialed a number in the phone, not even looking at him anymore. "Hello, security?"
"It's still a Pokemon." Vale said again, harsher than he intended.
After receiving no answer, he turned away from the desk and walked towards the dining area for breakfast. The whole conversation left him irrationally (or was it?) angry, but he was too hungry to keep on arguing.
The room was even emptier than yesterday, with most guests probably still sleeping or leaving to get breakfast in different place. He wouldn't blame them, to be honest. The weird old man was also absent, but maybe was that for the better. Vale let his Pokemons and got them their portions, before sitting to his own. He couldn't stop thinking about those wild Pokemons, and how they apparently steal from people. And yet none of his things were missing, despite being in his room probably most of the night. It was very odd, and he needed to check it further.
As he and his Pokemons finished breakfast, other guests began coming, including the old man from before. He didn't seem to notice Vale, and young man wasn't going to stay here and wait for miracles. Instead, he left the Pokemon Center and started scanning his surroundings.
It was still pretty early and town was only in the process of waking up, so they should have easier job. Valentine patted Ophelia, to get her attention.
"You are a Psychic type, right?" he asked quite obvious question, but Woobat nodded. "I need to find two Pokemons. I know you can't really see, but maybe you will sense them. One is very round, other have sharp cheeks and fins and-"
There was a slight pause, during which Woobat looked at Oshawott, who blinked and nodded. "You know who I'm talking about, right? You knew they were in our room, and just let them stay?"
Another pause. Ophelia was seemingly ashamed, and Caspian put a paw on her and looked at his trainer. Was he defending her? Huh. "Hey, no, I'm not mad. We didn't lost anything, they were just resting. But I want to find them before the nurse and her security do."
Pokemons looked at him and nodded in silent agreement. After that, Woobat flew in the air and started scanning the area as they walked."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
That wasn't easy and took them a while to get on the right track. Mostly because it wasn't a small town, and they were outsiders who didn't know much about its structure. And, well, Woobat wasn't a strong psychic and her echolocation wasn't flawless, in such clustered spaces. But Valentine couldn't just give up, he wasn't born to be a quitter. Only Fabian was ever able to outwin his stubbornity, and it's because he didn't want to make his brother upset with his actions. But the search was getting quite ridiculous and he began doubting that they will actually find them.
Until Caspian tugged his leg and pointed at something in some alley. There, he spotted a part of some blue ball, that then disappeared in the darkness. Ophelia confirmed his thoughts with a squeak and pointing in that direction. But he wasn't as sure about wandering into some shady alleys in unknown town - he already tried that in Lumiose and ended up with only few scratched and broken nose. Not horribly traumatizing, but still not greatest experience. But if it was the right direction, then so be it. At least he had two Pokemons with himself.
The alley was a bit tight and dirty, but he wasn't scared. Ophelia flew over his head, still scanning his surroundings and occasionally squeaking when they heard a noise or he kicked a can by an accident. Oshawott was walking a bit in front of him, as if for protection. Vale found that a bit funny that a small Pokemon had urge to protect a tall human, but he didn't mind it that much. He could protect them just as much, at least against humans.
They stayed as much behind Marill as possible, not wanting to scare it off. After a bit of walking and navigating the alleys, they arrived at the backdoor of.. something. There were plenty of trash bins and he could smell something being cooked behind the door, and under the bin sat Mudkip in front of a empty bowl. Marill joined him and gesticulated at the closed window, and with his help managed to jump on the closed bin. For a moment Vale thought they were going to break in, but Marill instead waved at someone inside and jumped down.
Literally moments after the doors opened, and a tall woman wearing an apron appeared. She was also holding a paper bag, and used it to fill the bowl with some Pokemon food.
That was like nothing he had expected to find, actually. Even his Pokemons looked perturbed and looked at him as if asking 'So what now?'. And he didn't really know, except..
He hid his Pokemons back to their balls, and actually moved from their 'hiding spot'. Waitress noticed him almost instantly, and backed towards the door instinctively, while Marill and Mudkip paused their feeding and looked at him too. That was a bit awkward, but he didn't let that seep in.
"I'm sorry if I scared you, but I want to ask something." he said as calmly and not-suspicious as possible, and probably not smile because that would look.. weird in this situation.
"What is it?" she asked with a suspicious tone. After all, he came from the shadier area. "If you want money, then I can't help you."
"No, it's not money. Just.. are those Pokemons yours?" he dismissed her suspicions, and just pointed at the duet who started eating again.
"N- no, they aren't." waitress hesitated, looked behind her and then at him again. There was a pause, as she was studying his face and before he could speak, she opened her mouth again. "Look, if they took something from you, I can check if it's hidden in boss' room-"
"They haven't stolen anything from me." Valentine shook his head, getting tired of those damn questions. "I just-"
"Then why were you following them?" her harsher tone took him off guard for a moment, and made his Pokemons flinch. The other two were probably used to it.
And that was a good question.
"I wanted to find them before Center's security. I hate the way main nurse was talking about them, as some 'pests' that must be 'exterminated'." he explained, sounding harsh as he mentioned the nurse and how she called them. It didn't sit right with him, at all. "They are literally just Pokemons who wanted a better place to spend the night, that's all."
Woman seemed to relax a bit, and the Pokemons turned their gaze at him. Huh, that must had caught their attention too.
"Yeahh, she is just.. like that. I wonder why she ever became a Pokemon nurse if she just hates them." waitress sighed. "Sorry. We are having a bit rough time in the cafe and now this, and.."
She leaned on the door frame and put her face in hands for a second, before looking at the eating Pokemons that had.. actually finished eating. They seemed content and Mudkip yawned, while Marill was grooming her fur. He knew there was more to it and he really wanted to know what was up with those two. So he had an idea.
"If you need help, I could try and do something." Valentine suggested, looking as nice and genuine as possible. He didn't want to spend whole day doing nothing again.
"Are you serious?" woman raised a brow, skeptically. Seeing him nod and maintain eye contact, she shrugged. "You need to talk with boss about it, but a bonus pair of hands would be nice today. But be nice and enter from the main door, okay? This is employee only entry, and I want it to stay that way."
As she said, she went back inside but left it open for a moment, and the blue Pokemons entered after her. So he was on the good track. Now he just needed to.. actually leave the alleys and find the main door."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
Going around the building and finding the right place took him longer than he wanted to admit, but he did. Eventually. With slight and surprising help from Marill, who peeked through the right window and waved at him. That was nice of her at least. The coffee shop wasn't too big, but looked already a bit messy from the inside. On the outside there were few tables and chairs, but they weren't occupied yet. He entered the place, where he saw the waitress from earlier talking with some older woman. She beckoned at him to come closer, and then left to the kitchen.
"Soo, you are the man that Marissa just mentioned?" older woman, who was apparently the manager, asked and rubbed her chin. "You are not from there, are you? Don't look Unovian."
"Noo? I'm from Kalos actually." he didn't know why was that important, but didn't question it. "I just hope I'm not causing trouble."
"Oh no no no, of course not. We aren't a busy business, you see. But one of our workers can't come today and he just now send me a message about it." that still didn't explain what his nationality have to do with any of this, but alright. "Marissa and I are taking care of the kitchen, Hana takes the orders, and the other worker was taking care of out inferior and shelves, and.. we didn't have time to clean it up before opening."
Processing the information, he slowly nodded. He wasn't a great cook or anything, so he obviously wouldn't suggest himself for the food and coffee processing. But managing shelves and stuff? That he could do, sure.
"I can handle it. But.." he paused for a moment, reminding himself of the two Pokemons. "Is it okay for those two to stay there?"
He carefully pointed at Marill and Mudkip, that were sitting and looking through the window. Blue mouse pointed at something and made a noise as if it was laughing.
"Oh, you mean Nixie and Cliff? They are sweethearts, if a little troublemakers. But they don't belong to us." manager sighed as she looked at them too. "They just appeared one day, scavenging through our trash bins, and Marissa fed them. After that, they kept coming back and we let them stay here during the day. At night however.. I heard they were causing troubles in local Pokemon Center, sometimes bringing us watches or pieces of clothing. I think they want to show us their gratitude for feeding, but it's really annoying when we found sometimes expensive things and.."
There was a pause, and woman kept looking at them, but her eyes seemed distant. Vale tilted his head, waiting patiently for her to continue, as he was getting his answers.. kind of.
"And if I have to hear Eliza complain and threat my business over them I swear I will strangle her one day." she spat suddenly visibly angry, which startled him actually.. but only for a moment. "Eliza's the main nurse in Accumula. My sister, too. She think I'm sending them on a purpose to annoy her or ruin her Center's image. Hmpf."
"A-oh." that was all he could say in the reply. "That explains a lot."
"Does it?" she asked, giving him a bit funny look. And then chuckled. "I think we have chit-chatted enough. If you have a Pokemon that can help with plants, be free to use their help, and the storage room is this way. For any questions, I will be in the kitchen with Marissa, and Hana will be taking orders. Oh, and you can call me Lilian, mister-?"
"Valentine. Vale is enough." he nodded and smiled. Lilian smiled at him back, and walked away, to enter the kitchen. He already could smell some freshly made goods, and it made him a bit hungry.. but maybe he will order something after the job is done.
But, well, that was.. something. At least he had a thing to do for the day and he now knew what he wanted. As for Pokemon-helper.. he took Oshawott's PokeBall out and let him out. Pokemon stretched a bit and looked around, before turning to him.
"Alright Caspian, we have work to do.""Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
What does he have to do, actually?
First, he decided to go to the storage room, looking for potential clues.. and well, tools and maybe a proper outfit. In his way in, he passed the other waitress, who looked at him a bit surprised.
"Oh, hello! You are here to help, right?" she asked, correcting her apron and tying her hair neatly behind her head.
"Yes, Lilian said I can check the storage for.. I'm assuming supplies and tools." Vale answered with a nod, thankful that he didn't had to explain everything and was just allowed to be here.
"Right! There are also boxes with our merchandises and more free pots in case the ones in shop had cracked." Hana explained and clapped her hands. "There should also be a plan of how the items are supposed to be arranged, it was left by our co-worker. Oh, and remember, we open in two hours!"
"Alright, thanks you." they parted, as she went down the hallway towards the main area, while he continued towards the storage.
Said room was pretty.. big actually. Besides empty pots, where were bags with what he assumed was potting soil and a lot of, not opened yet, decorative, silk flowers. He also did found a plan, boxes of merchandises and a more proper outfit, although he didn't want to put it entirely on him. It wasn't his, obviously, so he only took his jacket off and put on an apron. Good enough. He took the plan, and began analyzing it with Oshawott. The paper was a mess of scribbles and splotches of pen ink, it made him sigh in irritation. Valentine wasn't really the one to arrange decorations, but he wanted to help. And of course he wasn't going to tell them that he have no idea what he is doing, it would be embarrassing.
So instead, he took out his phone and called Heather.
He waited a bit, listening to the noise, before she picked up.
"Hello, Vale? Is that you?" it was really nice to hear her again, even through the phone.
"Hi Heather. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.. and yeah, I know I should call dads too." he sounded apologetic, and heard the woman chuckle. "But now I need an advice from you."
"You should, true. But they know you were texting with Fabian, and so you are alright and busy. Congratulations on two team members already." she said with a cheerful tone, and then it turned curious. "What is it then? You aren't in trouble, I hope."
"Me in trouble? Never." he laughed. "It's.. well, a bit unusual. But I agreed to help in a coffee shop with arranging their shelves and plants, and I can't read anything that's on the note left by their worker. So I'm asking.. for some tips? You are the experienced one in house."
There was a slight pause, during which Heather hummed as in deep though, and obviously surprised by his request.
"I can't fully help you without seeing the place." that was the first thing she said, which made him a bit nervous. "Buut, I can tell you how we do it in my place, and you can try using it in practice, alright?"
"Yes. Please." Vale agreed probably more enthusiastically than he should. Heather must had heard his tone change and laughed.
"Alright, alright. So listen carefully and better write it somewhere." she said, and paused for a moment to take a sip of her drink. "First off, put the silk, fake flowers inside the shop, away from windows. They don't need sunlight or water, so it's best to put them on top shelves as an actual decoration, on top shelves. Those akin to ivy with long tendrils should go to the farthest ends and the short ones in the middle. That way the tendrils won't cover anything that is on the lower shelves."
He wrote it all on some paper he found, and already felt like he probably wouldn't figure it out. He would probably arrange it by colors or something, but it should look better than that.
"For the real flowers, put at least two on each windowsill, that so there is a space between them and both have access to sunlight. If there are succulents, then you can put them on tables, they don't need watering. If there is not enough space on the windowsills, then put them on lower shelves, so it's easier to water them. I hope you are still following?" Heather paused to take another sip, and coughed shortly. "And what is their merchandise?"
"Uh.. Yeah, I'm following. Give me now a moment." Valentine put the pen down and with his phone walked towards the right box and tried to open it. It was taped with some really hard tape, and not wanting to waste time looking for a knife, turned to Caspian. "Could you use your shell? The tape won't tear."
Oshawott nodded and grabbed his shell. Vale helped him get on the box, and hold him just to not crush whatever was inside. Otter put it precisely on the tape and pulled, tearing it with a satisfying noise. Valentine put his Pokemon down and now took a look inside.
"There are.. mostly cups with some weird patterns, those fancy bottles that keep drink warm and small plush toys." he explained, taking one plush out. It looked like a purple cat holding a coffee cup. Not the most original, but kids probably love it. "Any advice for that?"
"Don't stock them like you are in supermarket, is one. It makes it look too clustered and ugly. Try to keep them thematical, so bottles and cups on one shelf, and plushes on another. If there is more than one type, then you can mix, but in a way it looks good. If there are any books, their position depends on amount. Many, then keep them standing vertically. If less, then horizontally. You can arrange them either alphabetically, or by their size, so it's not a mishmash." she explained and then chuckled. "Think of it like arranging medicine or your medical tools. You always paid attention to those, and drove your teachers crazy."
"Oh hush. My headteacher liked my ways." he snorted in a reply, and wrote it down. "I think that's enough. If anything, I will improvise."
"I know you will do great. You adapt fast." Heather said with her typical, loving tone. "I'm glad you called, and I hope to hear you again sometime later. And remember about dads."
"I will, don't worry. Bye!" they hang up and he put his phone back. With more precise knowledge and better note, he took Caspian and left the storage. First he had to check how the main room looked before taking stuff out.
"Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
It was good idea to call Heather, because now he at least know where to even start. He took the folding stool from storage to help with himself and have better look on higher places. The shelves truly looked like a mess, and thankfully he didn't had to prepare tables - Hana was taking care of it. Seeing him enter, she waved slightly and went back to fixing the tablecloth. Valentine turned then towards the nearest shelf, and began working.
It seemed easy at first, but problems started with the flowers. It was a mishmash of the fake ones, real ones and.. well, ivies. Some were withered, so he put the pots lower, on a free table and checked them closer. Plastic ones were fine, if a bit dusty, but then the ivies looked bad. He beckoned at Caspian.
"Could you cut those ugly ones out?" he asked, and he got his answer instantly, as otter used his iconic shell to cut some tendrils off. That gave him an idea. "You have small paws, so maybe you will be able to made them into a circle or wreath? If I find, I will add some withered flowers into the mix later."
Oshawott looked at the plant and nodded, taking it into his paws and sitting on the floor. He began working in high focus, tangling them a bit but in good spirit.
Well, that was going to take a while.
In the mean time, he took the healthier ivies and, going after Heather's advice, put them on the farthest ends of the shelf, one on each side. In between them he put two pots of fake flowers, one purple and one blue. It looked alright so far, so he moved to next one. He proceeded more or less the same, with more cutting of the vines and giving them to Caspian to make more wreaths. He put the pots with real flowers aside for now, since they needed water and a different place to stay.
"It looks pretty good already!" he completely forgot the other waitress was still here, and now she moved closer to look at his arrangements.
"You think? It's not finished still, but one thing at time." Valentine smiled in reply, and returned to putting pots on the shelf. His stool shook dangerously under him, and he paused mid way.
He put the object a bit lower, and went down, to check the status of the folding stool. It looked mostly fine, but one of its screws was a bit loose and made legs shake. He narrowed his eyes, and put the thing aside. "It's damaged."
"Oh?" Hana came closer, and checked it with him. She made worried expression. "That's bad. I think Rick was the last person using it and just left it that way."
He assumed that the Rick person was the other worker. Oh well. "I will take different one, and leave a note about this."
The walk to the storage and finding new stool wasn't too hard, and he could easily continue his work. He put all the normal flowers on the table, and gave Caspian the remaining vines. His wreaths looked pretty alright, if a bit plain. But they will fix it in a moment. Valentine then noticed Marill and Mudkip lying on some pillow in the corner and looking quite bored. He glanced on Oshawott, who was busy with his work, and then got an idea.
"Hey, may I let my Woobat out? She doesn't like to stay in the PokeBall for too long and might instead keep Marill and Mudkip busy." well, Ophelia wasn't going to help him with arranging shelves and flowers, since for that he picked Oshawott. But he didn't want her to sit in the PokeBall and do nothing, so that was second best idea.
"Errmm, sure. We still have time before opening, but make sure she won't break anything, okay?" Hana shrugged and then went behind the desk to wipe some cups.
Taking this as a 'yes', he searched for Ophelia's PokeBall and let her out. Bat shook her body with a yawn, that turned into a happy chirp.
"Hey, remember the Marill and Mudkip? I'm a bit busy with Caspian, but you can spend some time with them, how about that?" she seemed a bit unsure, and looked behind as at them, and hummed in thought. They noticed her, and Marill wagged her tail beckon Woobat closer.. before realizing that bat might not see her. Instead, Mudkip left the pillow and trotted towards them. Woobat looked a bit nervous, but relaxed when Mudkip rubbed his fin against her and guided her towards their sitting spot.
Well, at least they were getting along."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
Valentine was in the process of watering the windowsill plants, when a loud crash came from the kitchen followed by a scream. That came out of nowhere, and startled both him and Hana, but even more the waitress as she rushed towards the noise faster before he could even react properly. He put down the watering can and waved as Oshawott to stay in his place, and also rushed to the kitchen.
In there, there was broken plate, shards of glass and bag of sugar lying on the floor, a tripped chair and Lilian holding her forearm. There were bloodstains on her sleeve, as well on some glass shards and floor. Marissa was nowhere to be seen, but a door leading deeper into the building was open, so she probably went that way.
"Wh- What happened?!" Hana gasped in horror and crouched besides her boss, who groaned in pain.
"I tripped.. I thought the chair will hold better than this." she replied, narrowing here eyes and clutching her arm tightly.
In the meantime Marissa came back with a first aid kit and joined them crouching on the floor, and opened it. He felt like a bit like a third wheel, but then crouched near older woman too and eyed her arm. He didn't want to come off as pushy, but the situation was serious and there was no place for being tactful.
"Let me see it." Valentine ordered, with sharp tone. Lilian looked at him unsure, mostly surprised with his sudden change, and hesitantly obeyed. He carefully rolled up her bloodied sleeve and cringed at the wound. It was a bit long, but didn't seem dangerously deep. But it was still bleeding from the wider parts.
"Are there plastic gloves? At least one?" he then turned towards the waitresses, that were watching him.
"I think so.. But what for?" without waiting for answer, Marissa got up and began searching the shelves.
"Checking for more glass shards? The big ones are easy to remove, but there might be smaller ones still stuck. And using bare hands for it is wrong." he explained, and after receiving one, he began checking the wound with glove-wearing hand. That was still better thing than touching it with bare hand. It seemed clean and free of shards, thankfully. He took a piece of paper towel and wiped most of the blood. "Seems clean so far. Marissa, could you soak the small washcloth in warm water?"
Without questioning it, waitress fulfilled his request, and he could now clean the wound before applying the right antibiotic. The cut wasn't too serious, but it should help speeding the recovery and potentially prevent infections. Then he took a gauze from Marissa and after putting it on the major cut, he began wrapping manager's arm with the bandage. Lilian winced and groaned as he applied it.
"Why so tight?" she asked, moving her wrist slightly, probably feeling numb from keeping it in the same position for a while.
"If it's too loose, the wound won't close. I'm trying not to tie it too tight, either, so you can change it later easily." he said calmly, as he cut the rest of the bandage and handed it to Marissa. "Now hold it and let it rest."
Lilian let out a sigh and leaned on the cabinet. The crisis seemed to be averted, and he then helped her get up and sit down on nearby stool. Hana began cleaning the shards of glass and plate, while Vale leaned down and took care of the first aid kit. Marissa stood on the side and watched him thoughtfully this whole time, without saying a word.
"The bandage should be changed at least once a day, or multiple times if it get dirty or wet. If it keeps bleeding, then you should see a doctor as soon as possible." he fasten the zipper of the bag and handed it to Marissa as he spoke, looking at Lilian.
"Thanks you, hon. That was far professional than I usually do." manager laughed slightly and cracked a smile.
"Well, I studied this and that." Vale returned the smile, and then noticed that Marissa kept looking at him.
"We will handle the rest. But thanks you." she said, turning away to put first aid kit back in its place. She was acting a bit odd, but he didn't want to question it right now.
Without further delay, he left the kitchen and reentered the main room, to continue his more assigned job.
Caspian was finishing forth wreath, and was evidently running out of resources. Ophelia was sitting on the pillow with Nixie playing with her fur and Cliff telling her something, probably their story or adventures in the town. Seems like everything with Pokemons were alright and peaceful. There was still time before opening, so Vale walked back to the plants he left and returned to watering. He then took some of the more withered ones and handed them to Oshawott.
"Here, you can decorate the wreaths now." he patted his Pokemon, and watched him for a moment as he sniffed the flowers and began placing them between vines."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
Everything seemed to return to normal, as Hana reentered the room too and walked behind the desk, to wipe the remaining cups and small plates. He actually had finished arranging the flower pots on the windowsills and went to the storage to get the merchandise boxes. There weren't many of them left on the actual shelves, so they needed to be restocked. He remembered Heather's advice, of course. In his way into the storage room, he ran into Marissa. She gave him a strange look, but seeing that he heads towards the storage, she stopped him.
"If you need help moving the boxes, you can use the hand truck. It on the opposite end of storage room." she informed him, before entering the kitchen. He didn't had time to thank her, but that was fine.
As she said, the object was there indeed. A little dusty, but working and he moved with it two boxes. One had plushes, and the other one cups and thermoses. Valentine hoped that it will be enough.
"Caspian, could you?" he called him Pokemon for help with opening them, and together with Oshawott's shell cut them open. Man was truly amazed with how sharp that thing was.. and it was just attached to otters body. Pokemons are just that weird, huh.
First he took out the cups and placed them on the table, just to take out the paper fillings and wipe them with a fresh washcloth. They were clean, obviously, but just a little bit more polish would be nice in his opinion. Then he put them on the middle shelf, leaving space above and under for the thermoses. Paid attention to not keep them too close to the edge, since one shove and they may as well just fall and crack. Placed them in a way, that one was on front and second behind, to keep them 'stocked' by a pattern, but not too clustered. On next shelves he put the bottles and thermoses, same way as cups.
There were some left, and he moved them then onto another shelf, but he put them together on one this time. They were a bit higher, as he left the lower shelves for the plush toys. They varied in size, with some being hand-held and other were meant to be attached to keys as a keychains of sorts. Valentine tried to put the bigger toys on the back, while the small ones up close, still keeping them by pattern and presented Pokemon. He recognized some of them representing the Unova starters and one looked like a Patrat. There were two more, one looking like a dog and the other like a cat, and the tags on them said 'Lillipup' and 'Purrloin'.
Unovan names were a bit silly.
By the time he finished arranging the plushes, Oshawott seemed to finish wreaths too. He placed them nearly on some tables, and then put pots with small succulents in the middle. This surely counted for decoration, if anything. Then, Vale stood in front of the shelves, checking them once more for any mistakes. He doubted he could make any at this point, but just to be sure.
"Looks good." he said, turning to Hana, who walked from the desk towards him, also looking at the work done.
"I think so, too! Lilian and Marissa will like it too, I bet." she nodded and smiled in agreement, and then took the empty boxes. "We open in few minutes, but I doubt they would mind if you stayed for a dessert."
Well, he would like to try their foods and coffee actually. As a treat.
"I would like to." he replied, as she left, taking the boxes to presumably storage room.
In the meantime, he glanced at the Pokemons, noticing that Caspian joined them in the corner. Woobat seemed content and was chirping happily about something, while Marill tied some of her into tiny braids. Mudkip was sitting and gesticulating with his paw, as if explaining something.
He sat on the chair and looked at time. It was nearing early noon, which wasn't too bad. He woke up early and spend most morning wandering around the city, so he really needed a break right now. Almost at instant, Lilian entered the room through the kitchen door, her bandage still intact but was wearing a different shirt. She looked at the shelves, and then at him, with a smile.
"A hell of a good job you did. With the arrangement, and my arm." she laughed and patted his shoulder with healthy arm. "Your Pokemon too, it seems."
"I don't like sitting and doing nothing all day. At least I was useful somewhere." he shrugged, but returned the smile.
"I wish there were more young people with this mindset." she sighed but then chuckled. "Well, thanks you once again. You can stay as long you want and I hope you will visit us someday later."
With that, she went back to the kitchen for a moment, and returned with a plate of some freshly made goods to put on the display. He wasn't even asking for a real payment, but instead he ordered of their desserts and drinks, as well as food for his Pokemons. He had a feeling he was going to get it as a 'thanks for help' gift, so on his own he bought one of the key chains, that looked like an Oshawott of course. And the food was actually good, at least better than the one from Center. He also got a bottle of fresh water and a GreatBall, probably as a bonus.
Although the ball was a bit weird choice, but he didn't complain.
When he finished, the coffee shop already had two customers making orders, so he brought his plate and cup to the right spot. His team also finished eating as he went to gather them to leave. He waved at Hana as a goodbye, while his team made theirs with Nixie and Cliff, and together they left the shop.
Turning back, he spotted the two Pokemons looking at them through the window, but then jumped down off the windowsill. He didn't know what they could be possibly planning, but he hoped it won't be too troublesome for the shop staff."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
During his walk, Valentine came across a rather spacious town square. It wasn't full of people, but groups of them were walking there and there. Most to get to their jobs, probably. He spotted a free bench under a tree and near some trash can, so he went there to sit down. Oshawott sat with him, while Woobat saw on the back. He took out his phone, and dialed the number of his biological father, just as he promised. He would have to call Ivor too, but he wanted to talk with Varric first. They didn't speak too much before he left, and it didn't sit right with him. Vale remembered why, of course, and.. he still debated whether or not telling him about Amber.
That was definitely not a phone talk, however.
He waited a moment for his father to pick up, and looked around his surrounding. It was quite peaceful, actually. He didn't like busy cities, and Lumiose was a nightmare - if it wasn't for his studies, he would never move there.
Before he went down some memory lane, Varric picked up.
"Yes? Valentine?" he heard his father's rough voice, which oddly enough brought him some comfort.
"Hi dad." Vale said with his more usual, calm-ish tone. "Sorry if I'm interrupting something, but.. I wanted to call."
"I know, Heather spoke to me earlier. It seemed like you have been pretty busy." Varric yawned and younger man heard a noise coming from the phone, as if his speaker stretched on a chair. "You found a job in a cafe?"
"Oh no, no. It was temporary, they needed help so I helped." he shrugged as he explained. "One of the workers got hurt in the meantime, and I took care of it."
There was a pause, and Vale waited patiently for his father to reply. He heard him shuffle around and sigh, but no words. "Dad?"
"You see.. We have been all wondering. Fabian isn't showing it, but I know he wonders about that too." Varric said that with unusually calm voice, which instantly worried him. "But... why?"
Vale's mouth got dry all sudden and he tried to not swallow too hard. "'Why' what?"
"I'm sure you know. Why have you decided to leave? We really thought you were happy where you were." his father sounded tired, but also worried, and he didn't like that. "If something happened, you know you can tell us and-"
"It's.. it's nothing like that. Truly. And I was happy." he tried very hard not to sound too nervous and closed his eyes tightly. "It's just.. I think it's good to learn and visit new places once a while. Learn differences between medicine in Kalos and on other regions. I would have to sooner or later, anyways."
There was another pause, during which Varric made a 'Hmmh' noise. He really hoped that older man believed him, because he wasn't fully lying. Some lies were there and there, and he didn't want to lie to his parent, but.. he had to.
"I can see your reasons, but still.. we are a bit worried." Varric sighed, and was quiet for a second. "Just remember, that if anything happens, don't be afraid to call or come back anytime."
"I know.. I keep that in mind. I promise." Vale said and nodded, although that was more to himself.
"Alright, I believe you." he let out a quiet sigh of relief, and then heard his father shuffle. "Look, it's time for my shift, and I need to end the call. But thanks you for calling, and call someday later."
"I will. Bye!" and with that, he put the phone back to the bag and leaned harder on the back of the bench and sighed louder. That was more tiring that he expected, but.. he probably should had expected Varric actually touching the subject. Fabian could too, but probably didn't push him too much on first day.
He stretched his arms, and accidentally hit the trash can. He flinched at the noise, but then he heard scratching comings from the inside. Against himself he attempted on opening it, and suddenly some sharp but short claw hit his hand, leaving shallow scratch marks. Valentine yelped sharply in pain and recoiled back harshly. He then saw a pair of purple, feline ears sticking out and the creature let out a vicious hiss. At instant Oshawott leapt in front of his trainer and took his opponents first hit - that was Fake Out.
Now that the Pokemon showed up, Vale recognized it as Purrloin. What was it doing in the trash can was not important now, since his hand hurt and bleed from the scratch. He then heard Woobat screech, when something jumped behind them from the tree. It was a Patrat, and it looked ready for a fight too.
Caspian jumped off the bench and shoot a stream of water at the cat, who got pushed off too. It kicked sand in otter's face and eyes, which forced him to wipe it out. He had not harder time aiming, and Purrloin used it to push him to the ground and growl as some intimidation tactic. At the same time, Patrat attempted on aiding Purrloin, but Ophelia flew over him and suddenly hit him with weird, purple colored Confusion beam. It hit rat pretty hard and tossed him away. Purple cat froze, seeing what was happening to its partner, and Oshawott used it to shoot another Water Gun into their face, and push it off himself. It yelped in anger and started shaking its body to get rid of the water.
Before enemies could retaliate, they suddenly noticed something behind Vale and ran away, startled.
He had no idea what the hell actually happened, since he was busy tending his own wounds. He had some bandages, gazes and antibiotics with himself, obviously, and thankfully the scratched weren't serious. After that, he turned around and saw something casting a big shadow on the tree. Caspian and Ophelia got closer to him, although Oshawott was pretty tired from the fight and needed a Potion. Soon whatever was casting the shadow moved on the open, and turns out it was just.. Marill and Mudkip. Together they posed as a bigger Pokemon to scare the wild ones.
"Well, that's unexpected." he said, putting the remaining bandages in the bag, and took out one Potion for Caspian. "Were you two following us? Why?"
Nixie and Cliff looked at each other, and then Marill pointed at herself. He.. had no idea what she is trying to say, but then she pointed at her tail-ball and then at his bag. He wasn't very good with riddles, but he could always guess.
"Soo.. you two want to join us?" he glanced at both Pokemons, who looked at each other and then gave him a firm nod. Well, that was still somewhat a better solution than making them stay on the streets. "Do Lilian and the rest know, you two left?"
Again, they both nodded. Maybe the women even suggested it to them? Who knows. What he did know was that he had now four Pokemons at his disposal, and his journey only had begun.

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
He finished healing Oshawott, and poked both Marill and Mudkip with free PokeBalls, to make them officially his team members. His little team was growing quite rapidly, and he hoped that he will keep up with them. They were all still small and probably learning, but he was only one person and he had his own problems. As long they obeyed him, he didn't had to worry about anything.
As he tossed empty Potion bottle, he spotted some piece of paper lying on the ground. It must had fell off the trash can when Purrloin jumped at them. Valentine picked it up, despite it being fresh out of trash. It was mostly gray, but had weird symbols on it - they looked like a shield with letter P on the center. The words were all scratched and unreadable, but something was telling him that it meant something.. important. And he was curious, as always.
Valentine looked around, and spotted some elderly woman sitting on a bench on the other end. Was she watching their battle with the wild Pokemons? Maybe. He got up and gesticulated to his tiny herd to follow him.
Woman noticed him approaching, and looked over her newspaper.
"Yes?" she looked at him, fixing her glasses. "Are you okay? Those should learn by now not to attack everything that moves."
"Is this normal here?" he blinked, surprised again. Again, something regarding wild Pokemons wrecking chaos being treated as something normal bothered him.
"Oh yes, but it wasn't always like that. Not since Plasma spew their manifesto." she spat and then coughed. She then noticed the paper he was holding and pointed at it. "Those things are still flying around and poisoning young minds, even now."
"Erm.. ma'am." he inhaled and sighed. "I'm not from around here. Could you explain, who is Plasma?"
"Oh, I can tell that." she said with a firm nod. "Plasma was a group of people who 'believed' that Pokemons and humans should live in separation. That humans capture Pokemons just to abuse them, taking away their free will and using for their greedy needs. Many people believed them, and released their own. Some didn't, and soon they found them missing, stolen. Whenever Plasma went, carnage followed. Those wild Patrats, Purrloins and Lillipups keep popping out everywhere, because young trainers believed Plasma and thought they were better in the wild. And that's bullshit."
He opened and closed his mouth in short intervals. That sounded absolutely ridiculous, as if Pokemons didn't had their own thoughts and will. If they didn't want to stay with someone, they could always show it. But they could also join a human on their own, just like it happened to him.
"Ridiculous. They really thought they can force their beliefs on others? Humans choose to catch a Pokemon, just like said Pokemon can choose to stay with the human." Vale shook his head, and tossed the paper into the trash can. "Forcing them to stay separate is actually taking away said free choice, not capture and training."
"That's what I'm saying and thinking. I wish more people listened and not blindly followed the mass." she huffed and opened her newspaper again.
"Well, thanks you for explaining. Have a good day." Valentine said his goodbyes politely, and received a grunt as a reply, but it didn't sound too bad. At least he got something out of this."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"

"Poor George, they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky" * Valentine Salazar Galea *
To be fair, he didn't want to come back to Pokemon Center and sit there the rest of the day. He will probably use the time to move to next town, which was said to be much bigger and probably more interesting. For now, he had nothing really to do in Accumula, and most importantly.. he was getting fed up with it. And the Center. He didn't want Eliza to find Nixie and Cliff in his team, and start some shit over it. She was acting strange, and he wasn't going to fuel it, when he had no reason to. He didn't care for her.
Valentine still put his Pokemons back in their balls, letting them rest and entered Pokemon Center. Surprisingly head nurse wasn't present, but he spotted the old man from yesterday. He was sitting with a Furfrou by his side. That intrigued Valentine - was he from Kalos too? Furfrou was a very common choice by upper class trainers and people in general, and the man surely looked like that. Vale ignored him further, and went to his room, to get his stuff.
By the time he returned, Eliza was back in the main hall, so he could return the keys just fine.
"Leaving early?" she asked, raising a brow curiously.
"I saw what I wanted, and I want to keep going." he shrugged and looked her in the eye. "And don't worry about the 'pests', they ended up in better hands than your security."
She took a step back, took off guard but before she could reply, Valentine put the keys on the desk and left the building.
That was oddly satisfying."Poor George, you can kill him, but you’ll never kill his pride"
