"This is Riku. Looks like you just missed me, so leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If you're here for Training Center business, press 0, and I'll redirect you to our info."

[Should characters press 0, they'll be presented with a list of options:

1. Purchase pass.
2. Arrange battle.
3. Arrange private training.
4. Rental services.
5. Job opportunities.
6. Pokémon roster.

If your character presses 6, the following list will appear:]








[A second list pops up labeled "All-Out Only:"]



[A third and final list pops up labeled "Special Requests:"]



[If a character clicks on a Pokémon, a menu will pop up listing their stats, moves, whether they're available for rent, and their current status. See here for details.]

PGC contact;

[However, that's not all. Riku's set up a secure line, with its own automated message.]

"You've reached the Pokemon Guardian Corps. If you're here to report an emergency, press 1. If you're here to join the cause, press 2. For all other purposes, stay on the line."

[ooc: Please head your comments appropriately with video, text, and voice and note if you're calling for Training Center Arrangements.

For OOC Training Center business, please note which service you'd like to arrange. For rentals, list the Pokémon your character is requesting, what they'll be used for, and the total cost if your char is after more than one. I'm more than happy to handwave pass purchases, since I realize that repeatedly noting purchases could get a little time consuming.

For a job, I'm cool with an IC interview or OOC coordination. Whatever works best.]

[She steps inside, holding a safari ball in her hand.]

I was wondering if you could teach me about... evolution.

[islandshore]

Hmm... Well, all right. What'd you need to know?

[Judging by the ball, that's gotta be one of the Pokémon she caught at the Safari Zone. But which one? He eyes it carefully, waiting for Kairi's next move.]

[paopuprincess]

[She tosses the ball to Riku.]

It's Knight. He's been acting really weird whenever I talk about him getting stronger.

[islandshore]

...Knight as in your Riolu, right? Because I'm pretty sure my Gardevoir's fully evolved.

[It's said half-jokingly as he catches the ball. The name overlap will never cease to amuse him.]

Anyway, you think he's scared?

[paopuprincess]

[Hey, if someone can walk around with the same body as her, two pokemon will be okay with the same name.]

I dunno. I thought Riolu were supposed to evolve when they're happy. You think he doesn't like it here?

[islandshore]

I don't know. Haven't you been taking good care of him?

[It's Kairi, so he'd like to think she'd have a good handle on her Pokémon. Still, something's definitely off.]

[paopuprincess]

Have you asked your pokemon about how good I take care of them?

[islandshore]

Why would I? Seems like a funny thing to ask.

[Really, Kairi, that's kinda silly. Shouldn't it be obvious?]

[paopuprincess]

Who helps you feed them and train them, you doofus?

[islandshore]

[OH! She means how she cares for his Pokémon.

...derp.]

Okay, point made. So, what do you want me to do? Go grab them for a survey? Give him a pep talk?

[paopuprincess]

What about Ace? Maybe he'll feel better if he can hang out with his own species.

[islandshore]

...Huh. You know, you might be onto something.

[Which is why he's stepping out into the hall. Ace can't be too far!]
