"Whew!"

Cesc wiped the sweat from his brow as he the fire subsided around him. Valentine, his Monferno, looked over to him, tossing a casual thumbs up as the remnants of the flames around him died down.

"You've gotten a lot stronger since you evolved." Francesco Rojas grinned at his Pokemon Partner. "Messes with my muscle memory a bit, my friend. But don't worry, that's on me. You keep doing what you do, and we'll figure out this appeal in no time."

He sat down, picking up his discarded shirt and using it to wipe his face and bare upper body from the sweat. Back when Valentine had been a Chimchar, it had been easy to keep up with his Pokemon's movements, but Monferno was so much faster, stronger, and sharper. It was a good thing that they were training together.

Cesc took a moment to survey his surroundings. They'd chosen a quiet plaza in Arasam, one of his favourite little haunts since so few people seemed to traipse through there. His Aunt and Uncle's tailor shop was only just around the corner, but still there wasn't a lot of foot traffic. There was very little to offer on that street, save for the tailor shop, which had gotten more business since Cesc's last contest win. However, he needed to boost that with a win here in his hometown.

Looking over to his side, he saw that the Ralts he had saved recently had not yet left his side. The small little...creature...had been watching in fascination as Cesc and Valentine trained, and had been reluctant for Cesc to take him back into the surrounding Arasam woods. He seemed interested enough in contests...perhaps Cesc would make him a partner. But with the Contest coming up, it seemed silly to throw him into the mix right off the bat.

"Keep observing, my little friend." Cesc reached into his pack and tossed over a Leppa Berry, which the Ralts fumbled on the catch. Smiling, he watched the little guy reach down and clumsily pick it back up, before biting into the berry with evident relish.

Turning back to the task at hand, he had one more pokemon whose moves he had to sharpen. Valentine, Oberon, and Tybalt were all ready...but his unruly Bardolph was still in need of some sharpening, and he wasn't going to be able to do that without presenting the Scyther a challenge.

"Bardolph. you're up."

In a flash, the Scyther appeared from the pokeball, standing and facing Valentine, who immediately took a stance.

"Bardolph...let's focus on making your moves as cool as they can be."

The Scyther, in turn, looked back at him, rolling his eyes. Cesc had never seen a bug type roll its eyes before, so this struck him as rather amusing. "Bardolph, my friend, you're going to be a contest star. You'll get to fight fantastic opponents, but we won't win unless you also make it look cool as hell. So let's start off with Vacuum Wave!"

As the gleaming horizon of an expansive city grew larger with every step forward Celeste took, she raised a brow. Arasam was large to say the least. Hopefully it would have a few quiet corners for her to find at the very least, though the foot traffic of such a glamorous city would hopefully make for a few sales on her incenses and spell tags. As she felt a bump against her shoulder her lips turned gently upward, furrowed brow softening as she looked down at Eve. Her sweet little bell jingled delightedly, its gaze set toward the same skyline Celeste had been in consideration over, the excited little gesture reminding her why she'd chosen to stop in Arasam before continuing on her path.

Jem and Eve deserved an intense bout of pampering. While they adored being beside Celeste she knew that the last six months of travel in particular had been difficult for them. Eve, bright little socialite that she was, had found few opportunities to meet anyone new along the stretches of land they'd traversed and it had worn on her. Up until the previous night when they'd first spotted Arasam's glitter of lights she'd taken to nestling into Celeste's cloak to sleep the day away. Meanwhile Jem, whose appetite had been spoiled the first time he was taken into Lilycove, longed for poffins, pokepuffs, and spas, a living embodiment of the phrase "treat yourself". He'd opted to remain in his dusk ball until Celeste and Eve found a hotel with spa services up to his standards.

Celeste brushed her fingers softly against the dusk ball he slept within before looking toward Eve once more, leaning her head down to bump her cheek against her bell. "Go on ahead, lovely, get a good eye of the city. Try to find us somewhere up to Jem's tastes." With a gentle jingle, Eve levitated further and further up before entering Arasam. The focus of Celeste's eyes returned to the city that only seemed to grow more expansive as she grew closer. Eve and Jem would certainly drag her into their preferred luxuries, but already she felt prepared to be on the road again.

After twenty minutes of walking a sweet bell rang beside Celeste's left ear. The corners of her lips turned upward and she opened her eyes, hardly considering the overexcited buzz of the city, instead focusing on Eve's joyous jingles. "Let's get Jem to his appointments, hm ?" The bell chimed, racing down a street, jingling loudly at the end of it before darting forward once more.

Celeste gave a quick heave to her hiking bag before running forward after Eve, hoping she didn't step on any passerby's feet as she pressed her way quickly through crowds and empty backstreets, following the chiming of her bell. As it finally grew louder, Eve stopped in place, Celeste felt warmth growing, her steps taking her into a plaza with a vested ninetales spitting flames toward a scyther. Her brow raised and she halted in her step, raising a brow toward the bell.

Eve jingled before doing a smug little flip. She'd be doing all the navigating in this city though, and given her recent lack of social energy Celeste couldn't blame her. Levitating over the battle, Eve stopped just short of the pair of trees two trainers hid behind before grasping the trunk of the oak and ringing even louder. Leaving Eve to whatever claim for attention she was attempting, Celeste looked between two on the plaza. One who took a great pride in his style and another who appeared tired and lost in thought. As it dawned on Celeste that she couldn't see the ninetales' trainer, she looked over toward Eve, smiling at the bell's antics.
