Eric watched as another man who looked to be his age greeted a pair of younger trainers. He looked the newcomer over a few times, trying to figure out why he was wearing that beret. Wondering who this guy could be, Eric lit the cigarette loosely held between his lips while he watched on with interest.

The man looked up, sensing another. He turned, looking towards Eric. He shook his head, seeing the cigarette. "Bad habit, that."

Eric grinned, trying not to laugh at the comment. The other man wasn't wrong, it was just something he heard day in and day out. "Is that all you have to say? What's someone like you doing around here?" He spoke between drags, flicking ash from his cigarette when he finished. The man was dressed in a black t-shirt and matching pants, with a trio of pokeballs on his belt. "Are you a trainer?"

(Right.)
The other man shrugged. "Just visiting a new region. I'm a trainer, once I was champion. Until Cynthia kicked me and my team out to regain her title." He smiled softly, the full team of 6 Pokeballs seen on his belt.

"That's cool! -And you, Marcus?" Cooper prompted, before looking over as a set of older men walked over. He tensed when he noted one of them was smoking and scrunched his nose in slight disgust. "Hello?" He addressed the two. He could clearly see they had poke balls, though he wasn't quite sure what to make of them. Gym leaders, maybe. Though, he shouldn't be so quick to judge, he was seventeen, only about three years younger than the pair, he had to assume. He stared in awe as one man said he'd been champion. "No way." He breathed.

The former champion turned towards Cooper. "Hey there, young one. Where might you be heading to?" He asked, smiling again and waving. Despite the age gap, the man showed that he was quite friendly and kind. "I'm a bit lost, could you perhaps point the way to the region's professor? I have a delivery for him from Professor Rowan."

Hanoashi smiled until she scented the smell of smoke. "Bleh, why to people even burn that stuff," she whispered, not a big fan of second hand smoke. "Still, if they are trainers, I may have a Pokemon in reserve to face them." she smirked, before gazing back at Cooper. "Are those two the only Pokemon you have with you at the moment?" she asked curiously.

Well, with that statement Eric lost any desire to challenge the traveler. There was nothing he nor his pokemon could do to beat a champion. His ears perked up a bit when he heard Cooper's voice. "Hey. I take it you're trainers too, right?" He smiled at the younger trainers, despite the clear dislike they had for his smoking habit. A few more drags and he flicked the cigarette away. "I'm not from around here either. I'm Eric, it's nice to see there's plenty of other trainers around here."

"Well, we're actually heading to Professor Ivory's lab right now, so you can come with us if you want. -And, wait. Did you say Rowan? That means you're from Sinnih, right? That's so cool!" Cooper said excitedly. "Oh, yeah, we're trainers. Im Cooper, nice to meet you. Like I told Marcus, I'd definetely battle you, but my Pokemon are kind of weak right now, I just got done battle Hanoashi." He explained, before turning to adress the female. "I actually have three Pokemon. Heliolisk, Chinchou and Emolga." He informed her, tapping Emolga's pokeball.

"It's nice to meet you Eric, I'm Hanoashi," She introduced herself, extending her hand in greeting. "And this is my partner, Fives," she nodded to her Ninetails, who barked softly in greeting. "Yeah, but I only have one Pokemon left in battle reserve, Fives just got done with a tough battle and Wasp need to be healed first." She actually had two battle capable Pokemon but she opted to always keep one fresh outside of special matches just in case she was ever attacked pn the road, via Pokemon or otherwise.

"My name is Andres, and I am indeed from Sinnoh. I'd appreciate the guide to Professor Ivory." Andres tilted his head, looking at Hanoashi and Fives. "That's one magnificent Ninetales you have there, miss."

"That's alright, there's plenty of time for battles later." Eric had decided to celebrate finishing his last cigarette by digging another out of his pack and lighting it. "I'd like to meet this professor you mentioned though. I've never..." He muttered the last bit quietly, deciding there was no point in finishing that particular sentence. "So how long have you guys been at this?" He asked, blowing a small bit of smoke from his nose.

"Oh, uh thank you Andres," Hanoashi blushed slightly at the compliment. "Raising her wasn't the easiest thing to do but she's definitely worth all the hard work. You can imagine my surprise when my Aunt gave her to me as a birthday gift," she added, her memory drifting back to when she was called home due to her late Aunt wanting to give her something.

Andres reached for a Pokeball and tossed it up. A female Infernape popped out, looking at Andres. "Everyone, this is my starter, Blaze. Her and I have been through a lot, along with the rest of my team." He shivered, remembering both Cyrus, and the Distortion World. But he couldn't exactly tell these people everything he's done, yet.

"Wow, she looks mighty strong," Hanoashi shivered slightly in awe of Blaze. However, she took out her third Pokeball, revealing her next Pokemon to be a Jumppuff. "I call this one Breeze," she exclaimed, and her forth Pokemon came out, a giant snail-looking creature appearing. "This is Sheldon, a Cloyster which I've raised from a Shellder.

Eric looked the Infernape over, still feeling more than a little intimidated by the presence of a former champion. Since it seemed everyone else was showing their pokemon, he reached down to his belt and threw the first pokeball there. Out popped a male Gengar, and Eric smiled as he pointed toward his oldest pokemon with his cigarette. "This guy's been with me since the beginning." He scratched the back of his head as he realized everyone else had named their pokemon. Was that something most trainers did? The Gengar started to move towards Andres, to which Eric responded with a short grunt and a shake of his head. This was not the guy to mess with.

Andres nodded. "You seem to be quite the capable trainer. Let's see, who to bring out next... Oh!" He tossed a second Pokeball, and out arrived a female Staraptor. "This is Star, one of my first wild catches. We've bonded well." Andres then tossed a third. Out came a male Lucario. "This is Luke. I got him as an egg from an Aura adept named Riley."

Eric grabbed the pokeball again, calling for Gengar to return as he saw the pokemon trying to hide in Luke's shadow. He shook his head and sighed, while Gengar was his first and favorite pokemon, he did have a terrible habit of playing pranks on others that were not usually appreciated. "So what does this professor do?" He asked, wanting to hear more about the pokemon researcher.

Andres raised an eyebrow at this. "Such a thing is possible? Interesting..." He said to the male who spoke. "You also have very interesting Pokemon. Might as well show the other three I have with me." Andres smiled, tossing his last three Pokeballs, and releasing a male Luxray, male Machamp, and female Vaporeon. "This is Alex, Mac, and Krystal, respectively."

Eric raised an eyebrow at the mention of devolution, wondering if that was commonplace here. He had certainly never seen such a thing happen before, and the thought of any of his pokemon reverting to their previous forms after all the work both himself and the pokemon had put in to get this far was infuriating. "I've never heard of anything like that. Does that happen often?" He wondered aloud, ashing his cigarette as he walked along with the others and their pokemon.

"Devolution? " Hanoashi asked, confused. "I don't think I'd want my Pokemon to De-evolve personally. Especially wasp, as he was so excited when he evolved. Father was too, though more so that he was worried I'd get stung, but Wasp has always been by my side, helping me up when I fall or rescuing me when I was in danger." She added, her tone showing that she was more worried about the idea than curious.

Eric took a long drag, grunting in response to Cooper. As long as he didn't have to worry much about it happening to his own pokemon, it didn't matter much. Still, the thought of pokemon devolving was an unpleasant one, which urged the trainer to smoke his cigarette faster. "How far away is this lab?" He realized that he had no clue where he was going, or how long of a trip he had just decided to go on. It didn't really matter if they were gone for a while, but he had been meaning to scope out the gyms in the local area.

Hanoashi let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," she whispered. crossing her hands over her chest in relief. "None of my Pokemon seem to be unhappy with their evolution stage, so I won't have to worry so much. I mean, what if they de-evolved and didn't want to? That could be a real hassle to re-evolve them again."

"Yeah, I think my Pokemon would be sad to loose the progress they've made. As for the lab, it's not very far, maybe twenty minutes away?" Cooper responded before holding his arm out in front of him. "Poketime, open. Display map of current location." A 3D map appeared in a red light and he gestured to where they were in comparison to the Professor's lab. "His lab is on the edge of the forest, as you can see, just shy of the bordering town. Poketime, dismiss." At the end of his words, the map disappeared and his black Poketime closed.
