It would be no trouble, regardless! I am sure that were we to meet for the first time, again, I would come to the same positive conclusion. How wonderful it is, that you are back!
[no really he is so excited, it is SO NICE to be able to talk to people who actually know what Pokémon are...he knows his job is to give The Pokémon Speech but it's on a different level when people just don't know what they are full stop and he is EXHAUSTED-]
Although I can understand if you feel differently, what with how this place tends to be! You are alright?
[ Ah, it seems the professor is just as friendly and lively as he remembers him being. It does make Kabu wonder just how much time has passed since he was last in Lunatia... how much time has Sycamore spent here also... but he doesn't want to worry the man with those sorts of concerning thoughts. ]
I can promise you I am the same old man I was since the first time we met, Professor. Albeit a little more prepared for my second stay here. I hope you and your Pokemon have been well.
We have been very well, yes! A dear friend of mine from Kalos arrived a little while ago, which has helped greatly. But in general, I think I've really made Lunatia home! I shall have to drag you to one of my favourite cafes, and you can tell me all about your adventures in Galar!
It seems we are fortunate enough to both have new friends to acquaint each other with. My Arcanine is absent for the time being however Centiskorch has accompanied me for my visit. I don't believe the two of you had a chance to meet before.
Do you mean Centiskorch, your Galarian fire-type?! Oh yes, yes please! I would be delighted! I will bring Fennekin and Charizard and buy us all coffee!!
[ Yes please he wishes to see that cute little fire fox again. ;; ]
Please choose a place that would be most convenient to you, my friend. However I may need directions. Its been some time and my memory of the city is a little rusty.
Of course! I'll send the location to your Maps app - you remember how to use the bracelet, no? Just let me know if you have any trouble with it!
[The location turns out to be a nice looking restaurant, near the entry to the Groves on Level 2. It's not just the proximity to the Groves that made Sycamore choose it (as wonderful as the place is for Pokemon), it's also close to the apartments new Moonblessed tend to end up in. With any luck, it isn't much of a trek for Kabu. Sycamore has chosen to actually wear his lab coat today, to help his friend spot him.
...you know, if the giant orange dragon standing behind him didn't achieve that.]
[ He sure does stand out like a sore thumb, but it's also hard to miss the appearance of a Charizard out in the open. Having been the (former) Champion's signature Pokemon it's difficult not to notice one even from the corner of your eye. As soon as Kabu overhears Sycamore he gives a friendly wave as he approaches, dressed in his large gym coat, which he was fortunate to arrive in. Seems like Lunatia's weather has gotten chilly and as a fire type gym leader he likes to try and stay warm. ]
Hello, Professor! I see you brought along extra company.
Of course! It wouldn't do not to take advantage of meeting a friend from home, no?
[Someone who, you know...won't have a problem with a Charizard joining them for lunch! Thankfully, Sycamore is enough of a regular at this place, for the staff not to mind.
(It's a French restaurant, he's here multiple times a week.)]
Tell me, how are things in Galar? I do intend to make it there one day!
[Come in, come in! Sycamore has organised a table near the back, where their Pokémon will be able to fit comfortably as well. Fennekin has already made himself comfortable on it, and he yips when he sees Kabu. It's Kabu!!]
[ Oh, there is his little fox friend. Wonderful! Kabu tries not to look too excited as he approaches, reaching out to give Fennekin a well-deserved welcoming pet. ]
Absolutely not. In fact I feel far too spoiled with this greeting party.
[ He'll have himself a seat once he's given his hello to Fennekin. ]
You would have a wonderful time currently, I'm sure. Our most recent gym challenge has wrapped up and we have a new Champion. I've also heard word that our Professor Magnolia has decided to retire and leave her duties to her granddaughter, so we shall have a new Professor as well. It's very exciting news all around.
