Alterna City Aquasphere 16:15 Once Thomas had received the call from Kouji himself regarding the fact that he had a female Growlithe with Close Combat in his possession, having somehow heard that such a Pokemon was on his list, Thomas dropped everything to pay his old business associate a visit. Kouji and the Aquasphere were no strangers to Thomas, Kouji having hooked Thomas up with Pokemon such as Omar the Snorunt, while Thomas lent out Algernon the Slowpoke to the Aquasphere for the purpose of breeding. So when it came down to doing more business with the man who he had now matched in height, Thomas was more than up for it. After all, he proved to be a reliable business partner. The trainer waited in the lobby of the Aquasphere, having talked to the person at the desk that he was here to see Kouji for some business. With him was his Pancham, a Pokemon he found to be not only a suitable partner for a female Growlithe, but in possession of a move that could be inherited by a Growlithe by way of breeding. Not to mention this Pancham had Iron Fist, its Hidden Ability, making any possible Pancham eggs that much more valuable. After he would get that business squared away, he would hope to go onto objective number two on his list. Kouji Sakuraba

The Aquasphere’s interiors still smelled of fresh paint—who knew that they were going to be attracting such a large crowd right away? The white-haired Breeder could only sigh, before leaning backwards in his reclining chair, the better to get all the more comfortable. This lasted less than five seconds, however, as the intercom system went off and the voice of one of the locally-sourced employees of the Aquasphere employees grated over the system. “Alright, I’ll be right out,” he began, noting with some interest the name of his visitor.
True, he hadn’t gotten around to getting his Ranch open yet (it was still under construction, so for the meantime he was holding his office here in his workplace) so any requests for Breeding were temporarily being coursed here, at least for the moment. As he walked down the corridor, he attempted to straighten his hair—ever since he’d dropped the bangs and just let it grow out, the mop on his head continued to be rebellious and uncooperative. One thing that had changed the most about him was the fact that his hair was now a stark shade of white; as compared to how grayish-silver it was the previous time.
The hell caused my hair to turn this weird shade, though… he pondered to himself as he finally came out from the back offices, and then saw a familiar visage—even if it wasn’t his “first boss”, it was one of her friends that she’d introduced to him. “You’ve grown a lot,” was his greeting towards Thomas, walking out around the counter and then leading the way further into the Aquasphere, gesturing for the younger man to follow him inside.

Thomas looked around him as he waited for Kouji. It had only been a year ago that the previous Aquadome had opened up shop on the Nue Region, something that Thomas never got to see for himself. Though he donated Pokemon to be bred for the attractions, he was unfortunately too busy to actually enjoy, having been focused on his training as ever.
Once the man stepped out, whom Thomas could swear had a lighter shade of hair at this point, he noticed that Thomas had grown quite a bit since their last meeting. Though by Benoit standards, Thomas was still pretty short, six feet in height being the norm for adult Benoit males, Thomas had noticed he was now equal in height to Kouji.
"Hardly, just wait until you've seen some of my family...", the Kalosian chuckled.
Thomas followed the man inside of the Aquadome. "Thank you for calling me over.", he told the man, his hands tucked inside of his coat pocket. While walking with the owner of the establishment, Thomas couldn't help but take in the sight of the Aquadome.
"So, you called me in regards to a Growlithe earlier...", he opened up. The trainer brought out a Pokeball. "If what I heard was right, this Pancham would be a good mate for the Growlithe, he has access to Body Slam.", he continued.

“Yes, that was what the call was about, to be honest. I thought I could reach you via your old number, but then I got some weird person who said they’d forward my message to you, so… well, at least you got what I wanted to tell you,” he continued with a sheepish chuckle. His hands were still trying to flatten his hair out, to no success, and he was about to let his arms flop down to the side when he watched the younger man take out a containment unit.
“Wait a second… you have a Pancham?” he said softly, observing the occupant of the Pokéball that he was holding out. “Yes, that’s right… but I had no idea that you've been rather busy...” he continued with a glitter in his eyes. “Do you mind?” he asked, before slowly raising his hands in order to get the containment unit.
“My Ranch isn’t fully constructed yet, and I’m pretty sure I have to change numbers for some of the people I’ve officially affiliated with, so… are we still going to be working together in the Breeding venture?” he asked Thomas, wondering if he’d consider the offer. “If I get any eggs I’ll let you know—I’m using the Aquasphere’s breeding facilities in the meantime, at least until my Ranch is done,” he added with a sheepish look on his face.

Thomas listened as Kouji explained how his contact was the one who got Thomas the message. As it turned out, one of his contacts managed to get a hold of his old number after he wound up changing over to the new one. Thankfully, this person was able to forward messages meant for the boy to him at the end of the day, not to mention should the slim event of something very important be sent to that number, a source Thomas trusted would be the one who got a hold of it instead of some stranger who might get in his way.
When Kouji expressed amazement at the fact that Thomas had gotten his hands on a Pancham. Thomas didn't resist as the breeder grabbed the Pokeball containing the grinning panda. When he offered Thomas the chance to work together in the breeding venture, the boy grinned. Having connections to a breeder would be extremely handy for him.
"Of course, I'd be more than happy to affiliate with you. If you need a suitable partner with an egg move or hidden ability, and if I have it, I can definitely hook you up.", he told the white-haired man, extending his hand for a shake.
As for the confession, Thomas didn't seem too worried about his use of the Aquasphere to make due to for his lack of personal breeding ground. "Do what you gotta do, man.", he told Kouji.

Now that he was holding the containment unit where the little panda-like ‘mon slept, he then observed it for a few more moments before slowly pocketing it, making sure that it didn’t fall out of his hands. “I’ll call you once I get my hands on an egg. If I get several, can I keep one of them? I suddenly have quite the number of Fighting-types on my hands and I want to explore another type asides from Water,” he remarked with a sheepish chuckle. Wait, since he’s already here… should I try to pitch? Well, it won’t hurt to have a Trainer like him spread word that I have a structure like this… he thought to himself in the back of his mind, before his eyes lit up with a certain glimmer.
“Are you… are you going to be travelling around Veria a lot? If you can, care to help me advertise the Aquasphere?” he inquired, hoping that he wouldn’t mind. “I’ve inherited the business from my former boss—basically the Dome in Tyntill is under my assistant’s hands now, while I moved out here with some of the other specimens we used to house there. I’m hopeful that people would come here and have a fun time capturing things here and there; with a special containment unit, of course… I doubt you’ve seen it yet, or have you?” he continued, reaching into another pocket and withdrawing an empty containment unit that had quite an unusual design before popping it up to full size before handing it to the young man, the better for him to take a look at it first-hand.
“Of course, they haven’t gone into full production yet; but since most of the residents of the Aquasphere have special moves in their known move sets… I figured, why not have a special ball made for the ‘Sphere? All the captures here would be friendship-only, of course… can’t afford to scare the fish away,” he ended with a grin before looking down further the corridor.

Thomas listened as the man told him that he'd be in phone contact with Thomas over the breeding. When he asked if he could keep any spare eggs, the trainer smiled. "I don't mind at all.", he told the white-haired gentleman. "Though if they only produce one egg, I'd be happy to lend my Pancham out to you for future breeding endeavors, if you'd like to give it multiple cracks, that is.", the brown-haired Kalosian continued.
The breeder ended up asking if Thomas was traveling around Veria, and if he was, if he could advertise the Aquadome. The trainer shrugged, seeing nothing wrong with this. "I'll do what I can to get word across. I have a few friends that could further spread the word, I'll be sure to let them know.", he replied to Kouji's offer. Though he wasn't the nicest of guys to strangers, as long as he could get those close to him in on things, then perhaps they would be able to spread the word around as well.
After hearing his explanation about how he wound up inheriting the Aquadome from its former owner, and about the ball, Thomas spoke up. "I've heard you guys have a special ball, but I haven't seen it.", he told Kouji as he fished the thing out of his pocket. Thomas took a good, long look at the unique Pokeball.
Once he heard the explanation about how things worked in the Aquadome, Thomas nodded to him. "No problem.", he told the white-haired breeder as he fished for something in his pocket. The trainer handed Kouji a card with a phone number on it, his phone number. "Just so you don't end up stumbling into another 'wrong number'", he told Kouji.

“Ooh, thank you kindly,” he began, reaching for the white card and then examining it for a few moments. “Guess I got lucky with the previous number the last time. At least now I can reach you without having to do a roundabout search,” he added, chuckling as he then dropped the calling card into his jacket pocket. “Oh, that’s right, just in case,” he added, suddenly remembering something he wanted to give the brown-haired individual as well.
After rummaging around in his pockets, he’d finally managed to pull out the stack of calling cards, still smelling of freshly-pressed cardboard, before selecting the one on top and pulling it out of the stack. His other hand wasn’t idle, though—he proceeded to shrink down the special containment unit and then pocketed it as well, before handing his own calling card to Thomas. “Here’s my number, just in case you need to reach me in the future,” he continued, indicating the number. “Send a quick text before you do call, though—I might be here or over at my Ranch, just in case you don’t want the call to get lost,” he added again, before turning around to consider a few things.
“Since we’re already on the topic at hand… would you like to talk somewhere a bit more private?” he offered, before taking the corridor that led down towards his office. “Sorry if it’s still a mess though, I haven’t finished unpacking everything yet,” he ended with a sheepish chuckle. “Shall we?”

Thomas nodded to Kouji. Though he was normally hesitant about giving his phone number away, he knew that he would need to be in contact with Kouji. Besides, as long as it allowed him to avoid another incident of one of his 'friends' being contacted instead of him, it was fine. The Kalosian took the piece of card that Kouji handed to him. The trainer looked over the thing in order to take in the number of his business associate before pocketing the piece of card. "Will do, thanks for the heads up.", he told the white-haired breeder. When he offered to further discuss the breeding in the confines of his office, Thomas shrugged. "Sounds good to me.", he said as he followed the owner of the Aquasphere to his office. He looked around to see that the office was still being set up, boxes everywhere in the room. "It's fine.", he said as he took a seat, ready to get down to business about the whole venture of his Pancham mating with the man's Growlithe. [FIN]
