Bending low to tighten his laces, Dmitri had earlier stepped out of a PokeCenter only to fall flat on his chest and having the wind knocked out of him. He'd struggled to get up and scrambled out of there, hoping to avoid the embarrassment before he reached the city limits. Then he paused and took a breather, looking back across the city.
That's when he finally took the time to notice his shoes weren't laced properly. I should be more careful. He was welcome to crash the PokeCenter with his pokemon, but only so long as the place wasn't bustling. Apparently the Magma disaster had them overbooked however, so he was kicked out early in the morning. I'm going to get wrinkles and then Usa's going to think I'm ugly! What Dmitri needed was to put some pep in his step and continue the day on the right foot.
...Or was it the left foot? The commoners around here had strange sayings they shared sometimes, so he set off without another trace of hesitation, bounding for the tall grass just beyond the reach of the concrete, brick and steel of Slateport City.
I wonder if I'll ever meet that one guy again... He'd had the nifty hat at the gala, the one he'd fallen over and nearly cracked his jaw off for. He never did get around to sharing his number, all thanks to Magma. I just hope Magma didn't get to him. Then suddenly, a more pressing matter: I never even got to see his face! He got to see mine, I mean come on... it's only fair I should get to see his too!

The memories of the gala still bustling about his mind, Julius set off to Mauville. Somewhere a little down under he elt this uncanny dread of nearing towards Mossdeep, but he knew that home was far away, and had every intention of keeping it there. Though the story he told was different, Julius was most definitely a native to Hoenn. But technically, he was still from Kanto.
What he remembered of Hoenn was nothing to the whole history he had with Kanto, but he the memories he cherished the most would always be of the salty, tacky see breeze and the looming height of Mt. Chimney. His thoughts preoccupied him, making him forget slightly about the route he was on. When he remembered, it was due to the incessant flapping of En's little wings which gave circulated the air around him a bit, allowing the luxury to breathe in this uncanny summer heat.
He saw the brownish hair ahead of him and realized that, being the slightly fast walker he was, he was slowly catching up. Of course he definitely recognized the hair- he just couldn't quite put a name on it. By the time he was walking side by side with the person, he felt like he should know who he was, and Julius gave the younger man an awkward stare for a bit, unsure.
He didn't say anything, just gave him a queer look. He definitely recognized the face...
she watched from the nearby brush, peering at the two young men with squinted eyes. why were they here? were they travelling? searching for wild pokemon to torment?
she supposed she didn't care. all she wanted to do was become stronger — that way she could become the chief of her tribe. amongst all those boys.... soon they'd finally know a female pokemon can rule just as well as a male!
the nuzleaf leaped out of the bushes and stood before the two trainers, waiting patiently for their move. she took a defensive stance, clearly waiting for a battle to ensue. looking between them, she waited for one of their pokemon to be called to be her opponent.
a wild nuzleaf appeared! nuzleaf wants to battle! what will dmitri and julius do?

Dmitri couldn't be bothered with the guest, his attention was focused solely on the grass before him where a wild nuzleaf revealed itself. "W-woah, you look fiesty!" Flipping open a pokedex, he quickly uncovered that it was a Grass/Dark dual-type pokemon. Aren't Grass weak to Bug? ...Dark too!? The choice is easy, then! He reached for Skorupi.
I know a certain someone who might want this. He pulled out a pokeball and tossed Bowser onto the field, whom squinted at the nuzleaf and seemed to chatter something at it. Or was that... laughter? Dmitri hadn't ever seen this sort of reaction come from Skorupi before.
"Uhhh... Bug Bite, Bowser?" It felt awkward looking at Skorupi and realizing he had the capacity to laugh. It was almost unnerving, considering he was practically mocking the nuzleaf. What kind of pokemon are you, Skorupi!? Evidently he wasn't the dull, thoughtless husk of malice he'd been up until now.
Today he was laughing up a storm, teeth chattering nonsense all the while it pursued the nuzleaf, privy to its disadvantage and relentlessly seeking to purchase some of its earthen flesh with his jowls. He's such a savage, no tact...
Not that Dmitri had anything against that.

And then the brown haired male spoke, with Julius still half a step behind him like some fanatical stalker. Julius recognized the voice immediately, associating it with the somewhat masked man he had met at the gala a few days back. He wasn't too surprised he had not recognized him immediately- Julius was always terrible with people. But the male had a recognizable face, so Julius supposed he should have caught on quicker.
The male repared himself for a battle, and Julius stepped forward at the same instant, signalling En to get to his side. The zubat whooshed between the brunette and the raven, stepping forward side by side with skorupi, giving the gland dweller a quick chance to glance at her fangs. Not menacingly, more like...educationally. She didn't like other pokemon, that was a given. But atleast it spurred enough interest to defeat the Nuzlef which opposed her.
Julius gave his impromptu partner a smile, not quite revealing who he was. "Hey, Dimitri. Need some help?"
It wasn't like he'd be surprised if he was recognized though, but he felt like if he could, she ought to have some fun with the male.

wincing only slightly at the bug bite, nuzleaf stood her ground. it had hurt, but she had trained herself enough to not show such weakness.
without blinking, she attacked the cackling skorupi with a fake out to surprise it, and hopefully catch it off guard. following with a razor leaf, she eyed the zubat with caution. would this one also join the battle? if so, that wasn't very honorable.
however, she supposed a friend on the sidelines to come in should their teammate get into trouble was a little more worthy of her presence. sticking up her nose a little, she retreated back a few spaces, waiting patiently for the next attack.
she did, however, glare at the skorupi. all of his laughing was getting on her nerves. smug bastard.
nuzleaf was his by bug bite! it's super effective! nuzleaf used fake out! nuzleaf used razor leaf!

Bowser seemed content to handle this battle on his own, ignoring Dmitri and using attacks he preferred to use instead. It didn't even move out of the way of Nuzleaf's Fake Out, ultimately paying the price.
"Bowser! Keep your guard up, man!" He rushed back at Nuzleaf, trying to bite it once again. It was buffeted back by the razor leaf, though it was hardly effective. Still, Skorupi could've been in better shape. Then someone appeared, and Dmitri was forced to look away. I guess it's a good thing Bowser's got a mind of his own for this battle.
"Hey, uh... I'm guessing we met at the gala?" Figures I'd have people bumping into me saying hello like they know me and I can't even recognize them. He thought the tone matched the strapping lad from the gala with the fancy hat. He remembered how it'd tripped him over. This guy...
"Skorupi's got this, I think. But Zubat looks especially snappy." The way En bared its fangs made him uneasy. I'm not trying to mutilate the poor thing... It was meant for a friend, Andrea.
"You're Julius, I take it?" He gave him a look over, to try and match everything up about him. He looks about the right height, same dark hair...

Julius felt bad for forcing someone to look away from a battle- as a trainer he could all too easily see ho it was painful to leave your pokemon seemingly unprotected. The male regarded him casually, and Julius nodded. "Hah, tell me about it. Random people it feels like I've never seen are calling me by my first name all over the place." He paused for a bit, not sure how to go on with the topic of the gala. "Crazy how it ended, though..." He let his voice drift off, hoping that was enough to leave the topic be.
"Oh? Wouldn't want to waste that, then. En, give a quick wing attack." The zubat nodded and flew off, glad that the sudden action would take her mind off the urge to itch her teeth. Julius was such an understanding person.
"Did the hair give it away?" he asked, smiling at Dimitri. "So you're a trainer," he noted dully, trying to find something to start a more interesting conversation. "I'm the same- though, all this travelling is half driving me insane."

however, the skorupi didn't flinch like she had hoped. the nuzleaf collided with the poison type pokemon just as it landed another bug bite on her, leaving just enough room for one more fake out before its second hit — and it hit hard.
the nuzleaf didn't even find herself remorseful for starting the battle. it was fair, and although the skorupi was kind of an asshole, at least it helped her learn some new things. she may not become chief of her tribe yet, but soon enough she'll prove herself — and this failure will help with that.
she passed into unconsciousness perfectly happy with herself, awaiting whatever future now comes to her should either of the trainers decide she's worthy of a catch.

"Your tone of voice, too. And I personally think it's good exercise!" Dmitri wasn't quite impressed by Zubat, though it committed itself to the battle with as much zealotry as Bowser. Hmm. Julius might not look it, but he was a formidable trainer. Well then, I'll just have to set the bar higher than him! Dmitri grinned.
"Where were ya headed?" It seemed of little consequence where Julius had been going, it was as much an invitation to ask the same of Dmitri as it was a genuine interest in Julius' evening plans.
"Mind taking a slight detour to catch some wild pokemon with me?" He looked out beyond the tall grass and could see even more movements, though these seemed aggravated. Surely Julius couldn't resist the opportunity.

"Seriously?" Julius asked, shooting the male a dubious look. "Yeah, you teens and your energy making me feel like an old man already." He shook his head, but offered a chuckle. Dimitri seemed like a pretty easy going person with energy enough to actually make it ever grande- Arceus knows how many give up along the way.
"Alright, En, get some distance!" Julius noted with a quick eye how the Nuzleaf seemed to be keen on throwing some pretty powerful looking moves in. It was lucky the skorupi seemed agile enough, and luckier that En didn't seem to be the target of any of the attacks. The bat swerved out of the battle, letting the Skorupi dive in for a bug bite.
"From behind- use bite!" The bat-like pokemon instantly changed course, fangs barred as it flew around the battle before attempting to hit the Nuzleaf from behind. Julius then tried to keep one eye and one ear on what Dimitri was saying, but the conversation was difficult to manage. The life of a trainer had its ups and downs, he supposed.
"Fallarbor," he blurted, before realising that the seemingly odd choice of destination would give a lot of suspicion as to why he was heading towards that town. It was dead dry and boring, and it didn't seem like the place for a tour or a trip. Most trainers hurried on their way to Lavaridge.
"And uhhh, what about you?" he attempted to recover.
