...So, me and Jimmy aren't allowed in the hotel in Violet anymore.

[Joker says it with a bit of a grin on his face as he's seated outside near Sprout Tower as it's night time. There are still probably hundreds of Noibat flapping around. There's at least a dozen attached to him and Angel the Mime Jr who's sitting next to him.]

Guess yer not allowed ta hundred bats or so in yer hotel rooms.

...Or spillin' out inta the hallways.

...Or gettin' inta the coffee pot although that wasn't on purpose.

Lesson for us all, innit?

That's right!

So in town, are ya?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Oh, of course.

[Envy gives an dramatic, knowing nod.]

Always those something somethings that get you. Good thing Violet's a boring town, no reason to stay there long enough to use the inn anyway.

[me_first]

[He looks at Joker curiously, and then nods to the cats who excitedly grab for the candy. At Jimmy's name though he brightens.]

Ah. I don't think I've ever... seen you in person. I'm Royce. Royce Bracket.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She nods.]

I'm in the hotel you two were in.

[video]

[pipers_son]

That's true enough! There's so much ta see in Johto, why spend too much time in one place?

That's why me and Jimmy are runnin' around! Been here nearly a year and I've still not been ta some of this places. Gotta change that.

[pipers_son]

Oh, the two of ya know each other?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Whups! Guess we woke more than a few people up, didn't we?

[awesmazings]

[Jimmy nods, brightening as well.]

Yeah, he's Red's friend! I helped him name a bunch of his Pokemon a while back.

[He helped him out last month, too...but there's no need to bring that up right now.]

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Yeah...

[Still kind of unhappy about that. And unsure. She should be more angry at you.

...Bleh, too tired.]

I heard a lot of bats. It was pretty loud.

[me_first]

[If Jimmy's not going to... well, Royce could. But he's currently more worried about the kittens.]

Naming things... is not a strong point of mine.

[The cats wander over to him again and cling to his legs. A Magneton zips over towards them and floats nearby. Something wrong?]

It's fine, Ampere. Just... just fine.

[The Magneton buzzes, and takes off again. Royce isn't worried about them, though.]

So I take it you were the ones... responsible for that noise earlier?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Heh, it was a bit of a spur of the moment plan, honestly!

Why don't we make it up ta ya?

[pipers_son]

Yep. We were helpin' out the not-so-local wildlife!

[That sure is a pleasant way of saying they stuffed a hundred bats into two different rooms, isn't it?]

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Okay, I will.

[..Hmm...]

Are those bats going to be a part of the act?

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She believes that.]

Make it up to me?

[Video]

[pipers_son]

Have ya had dinner yet? If not, we can treat ya!

[loveisanopendoor]

I thought I heard something suspicious before I went headed for Cherrygrove...

video;

[pipers_son]

We were bein' kind and model citizens!

[loveisanopendoor]

Now why would I expect anything less from you?

[pipers_son]

I haven't the faintest, Miss. I'm such a trustworthy soul and all that, clearly!

[A trustworthy soul who brings over 100 Noibat into a hotel, but, details.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Seems like everyone's traveling lately.

I've got it on good authority that Mount Moon's an interesting place to visit, if you get to Kanto. Lot of friendly dancing Clefairy or something like that.

[awesmazings]

[SURE IS.]

Yeah, hah...it's funny how much noise those little bats can make when they're all together in a group like that...

[Video]

[awesmazings]

[....there's an idea.]

Yaknow, I hadn't thought about it...but I bet they could! I'll have to ask Joker and see what he thinks.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Hmph! I never thought terribly much of Violet anyway and now they can't appreciate bats!

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...

[She actually considers it briefly. Her other pokemon didn't seem very responsive to it, but Kawa looked like she wanted to eat.]

You'd take me out to dinner... just because of that?

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Veronica is very imaginative when she's not at all.]

Yeah. It sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?
