"No, not really. Central Park, then?" His energy seemed to be dwindling without so many people to enttertain. "Glad you're not all excited for some girly shopping." He snickered as he trotted towards the exit of the building.
Karla tilted her head as she thought. "Hmm, the accesory store, the new clothes shop Spot mentioned. We've got time- we could get our nails and hair done!"

Note chuckled as he followed him. "Nah, Emily will make sure to get me something I don't really need. She always does." He looked around the city fondly; he knew it like the back of his hand from the outside, though the inside of most places would still dumfound him. "You think we could find somewhere a little less open than Central Park? I don't want Vivian to draw too much attention... and she always does."
Tunes smiled in amusement. She had never been pampered like that before; she had never wanted to be. But maybe it would be fun. And she didn't want to disappoint Karla. "Okay. Lead the way!"

"There are parts of Central Park that aren't all open- We could go there. I'd rather stay out of some of the slummy places." The chains on his pants rattled as he turned to face the kid and walk backwards. "Unfriendly faces out there, ya' know. Don't worry. No one's gonna bother your Vivi with my guard dog around."

"You'd be surprised," Note replied matter-of-factly. But he shrugged. "Alright. If you say so. You seem to know what you're doing."

"You bet." He led the boy through the park until there were no people around. "Arceus." He joked. "People are gonna think I'm some creep." He shrugged one shoulder. "Mmmkay Road-rice, this is our stop."
The young snake Pokémon slid off of his trainer to sit in the grass. It looked around for a moment then back up at him.
"I dunno. Go play or something." He pulled out two pokeballs- one containing Pantheon- and released both of the Pokémon they contained. Pantheon plopped lazily on the ground at his trainers feet. The second Pokémon was a stoutland, its thick fur thoroughly shaggy and both ears nearly ribbons. He growled at Note, eliciting Oliver to nudge him with his foot. "Yeah, this is Snuff, my guard dog.." He snatched the dog's collar as he snapped at Road-rice, and pulled him back to sit submissively at his side. "And shredder. No hands near the functioning end, please." He joked but then added-gravle seriously- "No, but seriously. Don't touch him."

"Okay," Note said, eying the dog Pokémon bemusedly before pulling out his own pokeballs. He relesaed them all at once, and in a flash of light Donetello, Judis, Victoria, Elliot, and Vivian were all before them. Donetello cast a wary glance at the Stoutland, and Note patted his head. "This is my guard dog. Can't say he's quite as protective as yours, though."
Don looked from his trainer to the older boy and let out a disdainful snort at the comment. Vivian smirked and rolled her eyes, her tail swishing.
Note looked at his two youngest Pokémon and nudged them with his food. "Go play. I bet Road-rice will play with you," he said, gesturing to the snake Pokémon.
Judis' floppy ears perked, and with a swish of his curly tail he and Victoria started toward the Servine.

Road-rice had recovered from the fear that the snap had provoked and seemed thrilled to see some Pokémon that were around his age. "Hi! My name's Road-rice! What's yours?" He bounded towards the Pokémon hopping like a furret through deep snow, but obviously favoring his left side.
"Yeah, Snuff's a bit extreme- always was. But he listens to me so it's not a problem." He snickered at the Road-rice.
Snuff, making sure that the Pokémon were moving away from his trainer and himself put his attention to the older Pokémon. He eyed them rather bitterly, seeming annoyed enough by Pantheon's presence- but it was clear the raichu would not be moved. Not even by the stoutland's murderous gaze. It was clear that the dog didn't care to make friends and that gears were turning in his head, thinking of ways to not only maul and immobilize, but possibly kill if it came to it. His head whipped up at the sound of Spot whistling, tearing his focus away from his thoughts.
"Go patrol, Snuff." The young man commanded, patting the Pokémon and nudging him away from himself.
Obediantly, Snuff trotted off and began monitoring a wide perimeter around the group, though one of his ribbony ears was tilted in towards his trainer.

"[I'm Judis and this is Victoria,]" Judis told Road-rice, his curly tail wiggling excitedly.
"[You can call me Tori if you want to,]" Victoria added as she bounded toward the Servine.
EV watched Snuff go with an amused smirk. She rolled her eyes and looked at Donetello. "[Think his bite is as bad as his bark?]"
"" Elliot said, sitting down against a tree. "[He is clearly very focused on his job, that attention appropriate or not. And it would not only be the most rude of gestures, but also very detrimental to the relationship that Note has with this young man.]"
Donetello nodded. ""
"[Yeah yeah,]" EV sighed. "[You guys are buzzkills.]"
Note watched Snuff go and then turned back to Oliver. "Did you train him, or is he naturally like that?" he asked for the sake of conversation.

Road-rice happily hopped a quick circle around them, rolling accidentally and quickly getting back on his feet, embarassed. "[You can call me... um Road. This is fun! What should we play?]"
"[His bite's a whole lot worse than his bark.]" Pantheon replied absent-mindedly, rolling onto his stomach and looking at the group. "[Nutcase.]" He rolled his eyes.
"Um..." He smiled and adjusted his hat. "Little of both... I guess. T'as a long time ago that he started acting like that, exactly."

"[Let's play tag! You're it!]" Victoria trilled, hopping forward, nosing the snake Pokémon, and then taking off like a rocket in the opposite direction.
Judis stuck his tongue out at her bemusedly. "Tori..." He shook his head dismissively and then ran from Road-rice.
Vivian and Donetello both turned to look at the Raichu. "[Oh yeah?]" Viv countered, raising a brow with a smirk.
"Hm," Note replied, sitting under a shady tree. "Did he ever get you in trouble by acting like that? It seems like he listens to you pretty well..."

The servine hopped up in suprise. "[I'm it!]" He took off after the growlithe, though it seemed hard for him to stay balanced while running. He managed to atleast draw near to the puppy and reach out with a vine.
The raichu drew one of his big feet forward to scratch behind his ear. "[You aughta see 'im tear someone up.]"
"You ask alot of hard questions, you know that?" His hand didn't leave the brim of his hat. "I don't know... He's sent me to the hospital a few time- but that wasn't his fault." He flicked his hat off and twirled it by its brim between his hands. "What about you? Any n'ere-do-wells in your group?"

Judis let out a delighted howl. "I'm it!" he said, turning and looking around. "[Where'd Victoria go?]"
"[Here I am!]" the Vulpix trilled, stopping on a dime behind her friend and making him jump. Then she turned and raced off again, and Judis took off after her.
"[I'd prefer not to,]" Donetello said with a curt dip of the head.
"Yeah, a few," he replied with an awkward laugh. "Vivian is the trouble maker in my ground. And Donetello, my Houndoom, used to be when he was younger. I found him in this city, actually."

Road-rice nearly flipped over himself turning around to run away.
Pantheon laughed humorously. "[Well, it's pretty messy.]"
"Most of mine are from the city, too- 'Cept Road-rice. He's from a breeder." His smile widened. "Caught Pantheon all by myself when I was eight- without a Pokéball, too."

Judis raced after Victoria, but the little Vulpix was way too fast for him. He made a face at her, and then turned and raced after Road-rice instead.
"[Sounds fun,]" Vivian said, sitting down. Donetello rolled his eyes.
Note chuckled. "Just like Tunes'. But I bet the story isn't the same," he added, hoping to coax the older trainer into telling him his story.

The little snake zig-zagged to try and avoid the growlithe, but the quick action made him lose his balance and he stumbled just enough to get caught. "[Watch out! I'm it now!]"
Pantheon swished his long tail, making his unwhole clearly visible. "[If you're into that sort of thing. Usually he's just a iipain in the ass.]"
"I sure hope not." He said quietly, but a bit more harshly than he usually spoke. But after a silent second, he flipped his hat into the air and caught it on his head and he looked as if the question had just occured to him. "Oh, you mean how i got Pantheon?" He clicked his tongue. "I can tell you 'bout that!"
