Zap reached the doors to the center less than a second after the little espeon appeared. He grinded to a halt with his ears perked, twitching one as he cocked his head curiously, "[He. You cheated...]" his accusation met with him sitting his rear end down to wait for his ever-so-slow trainer to catch up.
Bount's pace was slow and steady as usual, seeming unreactive to Tune's question as his mp3 switched over, now to a song audible to all three of them even though the headphones were firmly over his ears; the song finally returning to his music of choice, speedcore. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFEz7-dg0ns) Though even still, he apparently was able to understand the girl's question and answer with a slow shake of his head, "Nope..."

"[No, I just have a type advantage,]" Chance said with a witty sneer, amused by the Jolteon's excuse.
"Oh?" Tunes said, looking at him curiously. "Where are you from?"
As the music started, Lemondrop's head again appeared from the pocket and her ears perked. She smiled, and carefully slimbed out of the pocket and perched herself on Tunes's shoulder nearest to Bount. Her tail twitched to the tune of the music.

Zap wriggled his nose, thinking of how many ways teleporting 'isn't' cheating. Though deciding to give up oin it, he looked down the street his ears twitching happily as he heard the speedcore from Bount's headphones.
Bount seemed a bit stagnant on the question, though. Nearly a good ten seconds passed before he finally replied with his usual tone, "...Kantō."

Chance stuck his tongue out at him playfully, but he pulled it back in and sat down to wait for his trainer.
"What brings you here?" Tunes asked, the same curious smile on her face.

The girl seemed oddly determined to get to know Bount, though he didn't show much reaction to it, as with everything else. Though he only answered this new question with a shrug, having no real reason or purpose come to mind. Or at least, nothing he could answer in one word. Though soon enough, they were at the Pokémon center, and the second Bount pushed one of the large doors open, Zap slipped inside as Quickly as he coud, rushing straight towards the front counter and scaring the nurse with how fast his front paws were on the counter-top to support his standing up with ears twitching and big black eyes staring.

Chance was on Zap's heals. He mirrored Zap's movement a moment later, his large lavender eyes shining.
"Chance!" Tunes called as she walked in the room, and in a moment the Espeon was by her side. She patted him on the head as she continued to walk to the desk, but she let Note pass her. He pulled out Vivian's, Donetello's and the Umbreon's pokeballs.

Bount made his way over to the counter, standing aside Note as he fished Austray's ball from his hoodie, handing it to a chancey who carried it away towards the care center with a happy smile, obviously content and pleased to help others.
All the while, Zap was getting attention from the Nurse, with his fur shining with electricity from excitment as she handed him what looked like a poffin. And as soon as she had it held out to him, it was already in his mouth with Zap chewing happily.

Note did the same, gingerly placing his pokeballs on the tray of another Chansey. He watched as they were carried away wordlessly.
Tunes walked up to him and lightly elbowed him in the side. "You hungry?" Before he replied she said, "Let's go to lunch." She looked at Bount and very sweetly asked, "Would you like to join us for lunch?"
While her back was turned to him Note looked at his little sister and scowled. She couldn't understand his fascination with this guy. It wasn't like he was interesting; he didn't do anything. Why did she want him to hang around.
Chance peered up at Tunes carefully, and when he was sure that she was thoroughly occupied he teleported back to the foot of the nurse's desk. In another moment he was peeking over the edge, his long tail waving and his eyes gleaming hopefully for a poffin.

After a few moments, Bount tilted his head, as if he was about to say no, but he was cut off as his own body betrayed his mind with a growl from his stomach. With that, he simply tilted his head back straight, not really one to argue, let alone with his own bodily functions.
Once Zap had finished chewing and swallowed, he let out a happy sigh and followed it with a cheery, "[Mm! Nanab Poffins are always the best!]" He then hopped off the table as the Nurse spotted the little Espeon and gave a shake of his body, sending a spark or two into the air. Though his ears perked when he heard something about more food from the girl, and was instantly at Bounts side, looking up with his curiously tilted head and twitching ears.

Tunes' smile grew, partially out of amusement. "Alright. You can join us." When she turned back around again, Note's scowl was carefully wiped off his face. "Where should we go?"
"Lunch was your idea," he muttered, playfully tugging a lock of her bleach blonde hair. "You choose."
Tunes sighed. "Fine..." She looked up in time to catch Chance being handed a poffin by the nurse. He happily hopped off the counter, eating the poffin as he trotted back to Tunes with his tail waving like a victory flag. When he caught Tunes staring at him he jumped and looked at her apologetically. She smiled and rolled her eyes, but was not actually upset about it. She lightly stroked his soft head, caressing the heart-shaped gem on his head with her thumb.

Bount gave a slow glance over to the counter, towards the room Austray had been taken into. It would be a little bit before she was fully recovered, probably a whole day. But he looked down at Zap afterwards who was glowing somewhat with excited electricity, probably only thinking about food. With that, the brim of his hat turned back towards the girl and the boy of his likeness with his hands in his hoodie pockets, waiting for them to take the lead.

Note did the same, looking down at his sister expectantly. Vivian's injuries would take a couple hours, especially if she had aggravated one of her older injuries... He cringed inwardly at the thought. He focused his attention down on Tunes, waiting for her to lead the way.
The younger blonde looked between the two bemusedly. "Wow, that's creepy," she muttered, mostly to herself, with a little giggle. "Okay, follow me then..." With that she started out of the building with Chance at her side and Note trailing behind her.

By the time it took them to decide, Zap was waiting somewhat impatiently at the door zipping out as soon as the girl opened it, his ears twitching to and fro as he listened to all the noises, but mostly the songs from Bount, whose mp3 player switched over to another new song, this one heavy with procussion and speed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytn648cK-XM)
Bount in the meantime simply followed the other two, Zap bounding around him as he zigzagged all about. He'd occasionally glance to a side, seemingly looking at something, albeit sluggishly as they walked down the street.

Though Chance more or less stayed by Tunes's side, his eyes followed Zap as well as they could with his quick, erratic movements. The quickness of the Jolteon amused him, and he had half a mind to start following him, but he kept by his trainer's side instead, unsure if she would reprimand him for doing so or not.
Tunes stopped outside a quaint little café. She looked back at Note, and when he had no negative reaction, she sat down at a table near the door. Lemondrop hopped off the table, only to let out a startled squeak as her paws fell through the gaps between the table's wires. Tunes gingerly picked her up and set her back down, careful to let her get her feet under her correctly before doing so. Chance trotted to her side and sat, his head partially under the table as he did so. He turned his head to watch the people going by, his focus trained on them.
Out of habit Note took the seat across from his sister without a second thought. He looked around the little café thoughtfully, but seeing as he had never been there, he was not exactly sure what he was looking for. It was more or less a tactic to further avoid Bount, but seeing as no matter where the music-indulgent trainer sat he would be near him, it was a futile effort.

Bount, with little choice of where to seat, took the closest one to him, right between the two. With Tunes to his left and Note to his right, his elbows supporting on the table as he leaned forward in his chair, lacing his fingers together to join his hands, obscuring all that was visible of his face behind them.
Zap, finally seeing that everyone had sat down, ceased his zipping around and trotted over, laying down on the patio of the café between the girl and Bount, his ears still perked and twitching with the beat of Bount's music.
