The recently opened trainer center was proving quite the attraction for Henrietta; this was, at least, the third time in a week she'd visited the place... Somewhere where she could train, battle, pet a billion Growlithes and just hang out in an environment full of trainers and League stuff- it was just awesome.
She avoided, moving around, a couple of other patrons, making sure she wasn't in the way as she browsed, a grin plastered across her face. The girl was, currently, carrying Gummy toward one of their favourite spots in the place- the shop where one could find pokéballs. Sylph Co. and Devon Co. ball products were neatly displayed, alongside prices... Henrietta didn't think she had enough to afford too much, but Quick Balls, and, she found, today, and Ultra Ball, still ate a little chunk from her funds.
While Hen' was clearly excited by her new purchases, Gummy remained un-enthused.

Dith hadn't missed the buzz over the new trainer center, that would have been hard, but he'd been too busy to visit it until today. Casually dressed in jeans, trainers, a Zelda t-shirt and a khaki jacket, and armed with a large coffee the large man wandered around the shopping section. Woefully unbalanced as his team was he was pondering getting himself some pokeballs and going out to try to catch some new additions to the posse. The prices were pretty reasonable so far as pokeballs went (he thought?) but he wasn't really sure what sort to get. If he was honest he had to read the descriptions to know what half of them even did, he wasn't the most experienced at catching his own pokemon.
As he stooped to read more about the Net ball Vitkor chirped softly and pawed at his leg.
//Eh?// Dith looked further down to meet the Espeon's golden gaze. //What is it?// he quizzed in his native tongue.
Viktor bobbed his head and then turned to point a paw at somebody who appeared to have just finished their shopping, a familiar somebody no less.
"Oh, Hen, hi!" Dith grinned and made a beeline for the young trainer, totally oblivious to the fact that a couple of teenage lads had to leap quickly out of his way to avoid being flattened. "I wondered if I might see somebody I knew here, how are you?" He didn't know Henrietta well by any means but hey, maybe this would be a chance to get to know her better.

"Dith!" Hen' grinned, recognising the human-mountain (it would be hard not to, she supposed) as he approached, and placing Gummy on the ground to... socialise. "I'm awesome! Got new stuff!" She thrust the pokéballs up, apparently for his inspection, then gestured around. "Isn't this place awesome! There's shops and battle places and all sorts! It's Gummy's favourite place!" It didn't look like Gummy knew this was his favourite place. "How are you?! Did you have a good birthday thing? On the New Year? I was kinda in Johto for the holidays- visiting home- but I escaped again!" She blinked, then brightened up even further and started rummaging in a bag. "Here!" A card, that honestly looked like it had been carried around in a trainer's bag for two months, clearly home-made, with a picture of a smiley Makuhita drawn on, was waved at Dith; it might have had 'Happy Birthday!' scrawled on, but with Hen's writing, it also might have said 'Healthy Burgers!'.

Enthusiasm!!
Dith grinned approvingly and nodded along with the stream of words although, in his opinion, Gummy didn't look quite as thrilled as he might. Poor little beast, did Viktor ever feel that way about him? Dith glanced at his long-time friend but the Espeon was looking steadily up at Hen.
"Hey, wah?" Dith's attention was pulled back by the waving card, which he took with his grin getting even bigger. "Oh, thank you Hen!" Awww, home made! And more than a bit scrunched, but that was nothing a warm iron wouldn't fix. The writing inside was more or less illegible, in fact some of it looked a bit like Cyrillic, but he chose to assume that it said 'Happy Birthday'.
"I had a great time thank you," he continued with a nod, "it was a bit more uh... a bit more flashy than I'd usually have but it was nice, you know? Celebrate all of us being in just about once piece, and my birthday, and New Year, and Rosie and Luke's good news! So I think it was fitting. I hope you had a good time too, most of my family descended on the party - well, they ran it - so I sort of did both things, family and big party thing."
Smoothing the card out a little Dith swung his bag off his shoulder, kneeling down to get out the large first aid box. Clicking it open he put the card inside, returned the box to his bag, and stood up again. "It will be safe in there until I get home," he explained with a small nod for emphasis.

Viktor sighed slightly and gave Gummy a sympathetic look. Humans, much as he loved them they could be such a bother.
"It was great, yeah," Dith agreed easily, neglecting to mention that later in the day of January first had been less enjoyable... as had part of January second. Hangovers hung around longer and longer the more Januarys went by. "My parents are professional party planners," he added as an explanation for why a forty-five- ack, forty-six year old was having their party planned by their parents. Forty-six!
"I'm going to look into that too," he continued, shaking off all age related thoughts. "I mean I can't afford the time to be an officer, but volunteering for them sounds as thought it would suit me." Was there somewhere around here he could find out more? He supposed he might as well while he was here.
Ah! While he was here; he had come here not only to explore but also to buy some supplies. "I should get myself some pokeballs," he mused aloud, "my team is ah... just a bit unbalanced, so I need to catch myself some more. When did they get to be so many kinds though? When I was your age there was only one kind to be had... but that was Russia," he gave a small shrug, "maybe there was already more variety elsewhere?" Red and white ones at least, not utilitarian grey.

Viktor blinked; the water type's vacant stare was making his eyes water a little.
"I would like that," Dith agreed with a grin - and he would, keeping an eye on kids getting involved with this kind of thing was one of the main reason he'd stayed in Kodo to begin with. They were strong trainers, mainly, plenty of them stronger than he was himself and a slightly alarming number of them wandered around with swords but... well they were still all very young and even if he couldn't protect them per se recent events had shown that his particular skills were very useful to have around.
Dith scratched absently at one of the scars scattered across the right hand side of his face and shrugged. "Ah, I don't know if I have a favourite... Dusk balls maybe? They're very versatile. Mmh, these were the only ones we could get though, I think they're just equivalent to a pokeball." As he spoke Dith took Viktor's plain grey, rather scratched up pokeball from his belt and held it out for inspection. "I would like to get a variety today though I think," he continued with a little shrug, "to be prepared for all manner of situations? I will definitely get myself some Quick Balls though! And Ultra Balls, always a good fall back if you have run out of specialised ones right?"
