Xavier ran a hand through his hair in an attempt to comb his locks back into their previous positions, his trip making them rather unruly. He sighed, removing a twig from his bangs. Blinking, his eyes darted back to the vines, locating the rose that had once been in his hair. He gently picked it up and replaced it on its perch over his left ear. What could he say? He wasn't girly or anything, no... he just loathed misplacing items. Especially gifts.
Turning his attention to Andrew, he leaned forward to examine his forehead. "Oh I didn't knock ya that hard." He teased, not before recoiling when - of all people - Felis smacked him on the noggin. Xav blinked a couple times before breaking into a wide grin, stifling the chuckle that threatened to leave his lungs. He hadn't expected that reaction, but he couldn't say it wasn't enjoyable. "Nice one~" He chimed, eyes narrowing in amusement.
"I thought you'd be enjoying it, after all, we are technically hitting on you." Xavier joked dryly, poking Andrew in the spot where he headbutt him. However his attention switched back to Felis when he clamored to the vines, spying the many flowers within. Smiling, he peered from over Felis' shoulder. "Mmhm, the Glade is s mysterious." He observed, taking a vine gently and inspecting the flowers - with care, of course.

Xavier blanched when Andrew's face came into view, narrowing his eyes at him. So much for redeeming himself! "And I could do this." He said ruefully before headbutting the guy away. A bit odd in his choice of actions, but what else could he do? His arms and legs were tied up, so they couldn't hit the guy. A headbutt seemed perfect anyway; maybe Andrew's head would clear of such thoughts from now on. Oh, Xav doubted it, but it was a nice thought. And headbutting Andrew felt good, so... win-win?
As the Rosearde freed him, Xavier stood slowly, recollecting his items. Making sure his bags and pole were safely secured onto his back, he gently pat the Rosearde with an embarrassed smile. "Thank ya." He said to him, before looking back to Felis, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "And you as well... I normally don't lose myself, but..." He shrugged. Xav wasn't about to admit that he was distracted. He was already quite embarrassed.

Fast reflexes allowed Xav to catch the Wynaut as he leaped into his arms, rousing a chuckle from the man. Such a cute little thing. He was about to tell the Wynaut as such when a Clefable and Wooper came int view. Xavier turned his head to peer around at the Wooper... it was... pink? A shiny~
Xavier grinned down at the Wynaut, placing him on his left shoulder. "Hang on tight~" He said to it before producing a Poke'ball from his bag once more and releasing Lady, his shiny Ekans. She looked around the cavern before giving Xavier a wary look, questioning why she was in such a dreadful place. Xav simply gestured towards the Wooper, causing her to crane her neck for a better look. 'Oh its shiny... and I bet he wants me to battle the larger one in front...' She thought, peering at the Clefable warily.
Well, she thought right. Xav knew he wouldn't be able to get to the Wooper before dealing with the Clefable. More training for him~ "Catch it off guard with a Sludge Bomb." He said cooly, Lady sighing to herself. 'You're so predictable master...' She thought before collecting sludge in her mouth, wincing at the disgusting substance. Oh, why did a proper lady such as she have to be a poison type of all things? Groaning, she upchucked the bomb, sending it arching towards the Clefable.

Triumphant, Xav looked back at the Wyanut's hiding spot, peeking over it again. "I get it. You're not into round ladies~" He teased with a grin, propping his head up with his palm. "Do ya need any more help lil guy? I'm training up my gang but I wouldn't mind aiding ya if ya need it." Xavier posed to the Wynaut, raising an eyebrow slightly. What a quirky little thing!

Xavier was a wanderer in the true sense of the word, never staying in one place for very long, but he wasn't about to admit that to these two gentlemen. It was awkward enough to see the other two so lavishly dressed and he just in simple clothing, but if they learned he practically didn't have a home at the moment, camping out most of the time... hmm. The man wasn't embarrassed by it, but it was ingrained into him that he'd be judged poorly by those of higher standards. Xav tried his best to ignore that feeling for the time being, however; Felis appeared to be a nice guy in an unfortunate situation, and Andrew was... well, he wasn't quite sure there. Annoying, perhaps, but he was quickly redeeming himself. Somewhat. Can't give too much credit, haha!
Felis' demeanor change hadn't gone unnoticed by Xavier, as well as his whisper. Xav merely 'Hmm'd in reply, looking rather thoughtful. Curiosity was eating at him, but he knew well enough when and when not to press things. Also, learning that his father had been the previous duke, Xav felt little to no contempt for Felis himself, which was surprising yet justified; from what Xav gathered, Felis had this position pushed onto him rather suddenly. How could he find contempt in that? Xav wasn't a petty man.
Instead, he offered a gentle smile to the man and gave him a pat on the shoulder, pressing the flower he had plucked earlier into his hands; it seemed to have gone unnoticed earlier, Felis being lost in thought at the time. "Things always happen for a reason, ne. It'll work out." He said, trying to comfort the man. Comforting a noble... he hadn't ever expected to do such a thing, but like mentioned earlier, Xav held no contempt for him.
However, the mood was ruined when Xavier forgot where his feet were and tripped over the exposed root of a tree, squeaking slightly before becoming entangled in vines that hung from its lower branches. He was... hanging upside down. And his face felt like it was on fire again. Was he blushing? Great. Wonderful, even. He sighed, too embarrassed to say anything, instead squirming to release himself from his snare.

Xav smiled at the Wynaut's antics before glancing over his shoulder at the Jigglypuff. Hmm... he stood to turn and face the balloon Poke'mon, withdrawing a Poke'ball. "Oh look a wild Jigglypuff~" He sang, taking a couple steps toward the Jigglypuff. "Looks like I'd better catch it~" He chimed again, hoping the display would send the Poke'mon scurrying. If not, well... Xav blinked. Did he lock himself into a battle? 'Not the greatest hindsight, genius.' His conscious scolded. Xavier watched the Jigglypuff for a reaction.

Xavier nodded slowly, smiling over at Felis. "Yes I have actually. I spent most of my days at home when I was a kid, I didn't see people at all." He said, his gaze back on the flower he was twirling in his fingers. "Once I head out on my own I was eager to see everything... Serenity Garden was the first place I went to see before I had to buckle down in training." He chuckled at this, an amused expression on his face. Serenity Garden was so beautiful... Xav could remember it vividly. He'd like to return one day. "Wish was still a Magikarp then, and we couldn't have that."
Xav listened to Andrew pose his question and hummed, thinking. It wasn't that he had forgotten where his folks were, he just wasn't too keen on revealing an exact location. "Well, my parents raised me in a nice little secluded area near Harmony Woods... my back yard was practically forest." He explained, smiling. Oh, nostalgia. "My family didn't really keep me in touch with politics, so that's why I didn't know your name~" He added, throwing Felis an apologetic look and offering him the flower he had been fiddling with. That had been a partial lie; his parents told him about politics daily as they complained about their finances. But names were left out, so Xav was partially speaking the truth.

Xav blinked at the Wynaut's actions, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was gesturing to. The Jigglypuff? And if he didn't want to be seen... "You hiding from them, ne?" he whispered, grinning again. "Does someone have fangirls?" He joshed, throwing the small Poke'mon a wink.

The Wynaut amused Xavier as he poked his head away, seemingly frightened of the man. A smirk quirked its way onto his face as Xavier crept over to the rock, pausing for a moment before leaning up to look over it. "Peek a boo~ trying to hide are we?" He mused, leaning on the rock to look down at where he thought the Wynaut was.

Xav sighed, plucking the Ball up from the ground and smiling at it for a moment before stashing it away. He then turned to Shannon and grinned goofily down at the little lady, opening his arms for a hug. He didn't even care how awkward it may have looked; no one else was down here and Xav always tended to put his Poke'mon before the opinions of other people. He was just wired that way.
Returning Shannon, he looked around, noticing how quiet it was. Quiet... tooooooo quiet. Xav carefully edged his way along the caverns, humming quietly to himself. Darn it all, Lapras got that tune stuck in his head~

Xav blinked before taking a few steps forward, observing Lapras carefully. A moment passed, before Shannon ran up and poked him in the leg, pointing at Lapras while hopping from one foot to another. What...? Oh. OH. RIGHT. LAPRAS GET. Xavier clamored to his bag and fished about until he plucked a Great Ball from within it, turning and tossing it towards the Lapras.
The pair watched in silence...

Shannon was getting exhausted herself; the pace she kept moving at and taking all these somewhat in-direct blows were really working her hard. However, this ice beam connected fully, as she hadn't resumed her pacing yet. The Light Screen shimmered, absorbing part of the blow, yet Shannon still felt the chill as she raced behind a crystal for cover. Panting, cold... she looked to Xavier and whined.
Xavier fixed Lapras with a steady stare, clucking his tongue in thought. He'd have to keep pushing back if he hoped to win this. He then turned his gaze to Shannon, softening up with a smile. "Just a bit more Shan. Shan the man~" He cheered awkwardly, causing the Pikachu to rub her head in embarrassment. "Thunderbolt again. Make it count~" Shannon nodded, although she really didn't want to continue with this farce. Darting out of her cover, she released a bolt of lightning towards the Lapras once more.

Many Pikachus were struck, some crystal copies and some double-team clones, causing them to poof, and even Shannon was glanced upon by the beam attack. Yet with the beam weakened and her light screen, it did minimal damage. Just as Xavier hoped. "Electro Ball, hurry!" He ordered, pointing towards the Lapras.
Shannon darted around a crystal, electricity flowing to her tail. She grabbed onto the crystal and let her momentum carry the lower portion of her body forwards, releasing the Electro Ball from her tail to spiral towards Lapras. Xavier hoped the damage would be decent, if it connected, considering Shannon's boosted speed versus the Lapras.

Watching the Lapras carefully, an idea came to Xavier. "Double Team Shannon, keep moving. Weave between the crystals." Shannon seemed to understand Xav's logic, as she squeaked a reply before creating four copies of herself, each one darting to and fro. Xavier glanced at the crystals, and sure enough they reflected Shannon as she wove in and out of the various ones jutting about. Each copy followed her... Pikachus everywhere~

Another ice beam. Xavier grunted, glancing around the cavern for any ideas. There were quite a few perches for Shannon to use, but how, and quickly... "Light Screen." He said, Shannon throwing up the screen quickly. The ice beam connected once more, but with aid of the screen, it wasn't as devastating as before. But it was still so freaking COLD ARGRHHRH-
Shannon didn't like this constant pressure, beginning to feel stressed. The extra speed she had in addition to the light screen were comforting for now, but she knew the screen would fade in due time. She decided her best bet was to keep moving, and so she did, darting to and fro.

Xavier sighed as the Bulldoze was repelled, yet the quick ice beam was very noteworthy. Xavier admired the Lapras for his quick thinking. Shannon took the ice beam with a squeal, being pushed back towards the wall. With her extra speed, she managed to push her way out of the beam, but the damage was done. Shannon shook herself, shivering a bit. She was cold~
Xavier frowned. A few more blows like that wouldn't be good. He couldn't play defensive when the Lapras was clearly offensive for the time being. "Alright Shan, Thunderbolt 'im." He declared. Shannon hopped up onto a crystal perch, her cheeks sparking while collecting electricity, which she let loose in a Thunderbolt towards the Lapras.

The bulldoze was a bit unexpected, Xavier bracing for Shannon to get struck. But not before he called out a quick order, "Protect~" Shannon blinked, but upon seeing the large mass that was Lapras coming charging at her, she squeaked and complied eagerly. A force field went up around the small mouse Poke'mon, but would it hold under Bulldoze's impact...?

Xavier grinned at the Lapras' choice in move, nodding. "Smart cookie." He chuckled, looking to Shannon. She was a little nervous, but nodded to Xavier anyway. "That a girl. Use Agility." Shannon smiled and complied eagerly, more than willing to up her speed. She darted about the cavern, rapidly picking up speed. Xavier folded his arms, content for now. He knew Shannon preferred speed over brawn.

Xavier blinked at the sight, somewhat taken aback. A wild Lapras? Well, thank his lucky stars! He smiled at the beast, thinking about his next course of action, when the Lapras looked straight at him. Ah. Well then. 'I thought I was being quiet...' Xavier pondered, then snapped his fingers. 'Echo-location. I should have known.' He chuckled, stepping out to reveal himself.
"Do you get many guests down here, ne? I'd think not since this cavern is so vast..." He asked the Lapras, tilting his head slightly. "You have a very nice voice by the way. I wonder if you're moves are just as graceful?" Xav challenged, considering the Lapras. He knew it was probably strong, so he'd try and use typing to his advantage.
He retrieved a Poke'ball and sent forth Shannon, his Pikachu, who greeted Xavier before regarding the Lapras warily. She turned back to Xavier, with a look saying 'You want me to fight -that-?'. Xavier chuckled and rubbed her noggin, glancing back up at the Lapras to see if he'd accept his challenge. If not... well, then Xav would have the jump on him.

Xavier had noticed the Dewgong and was tempted to bring out Shannon for some training, until a low rumble reached his ears. Blinking, he squinted further down the cavern. What the Hell had that been? He looked back to the Dewgong, then back down towards the noise. Gah, he loathed tough decisions. 'Well, there will be plenty of other water-type Poke'mon to pit Shan against...' he mused, watching the Dewgong slip away. Who knows, maybe he'd encounter it again later?
Nodding, Xav took off in the direction of the noise, carefully peering around a corner to take a look-sie. What have we got here~?
