Walking through the streets of Faraday, Yumi was...she was feeling good. She'd been out of action for a fair while and she was finally feeling better. The arm she'd believed she'd lost the use of over a year ago now had actually started to recover as she let go of the fears she'd developed the day she overused her mega evolution, and while her nerves weren't perfect, she was just as 'bad' as she'd always been, overthinking, paranoid, the works. Heh, least she was back on her feet now, and damn, it felt good to use her left arm again. It had felt like jelly getting used to moving her arm again, but being left handed, she'd spent so much time with her right hand she was borderline ambidexterous, but damn it still felt good to have her primary hand back.
Ko-ken was glad to see her back on her feet too, the Sawk walking beside his self given charge and making sure one of her first days trying to put herself back out there didn't have any unusual hiccups. The two of course had come to the main city of Faraday to get supplies before, but this was the first time Yumi had really wanted to...take in the new place she'd built her home, even if she'd technically built her home in the ruinous section.
"Hm? Whats all the commotion about?"
A small crowd gathering up ahead, Yumi pushed herself forward, an open stage in a park seeming to have been utilized by the league...was that a ranger uniform the guy up there was wearing? Huh. From the sounds of things they musta been advertising work...yeah. Something about efforts to settle the wastelands or calming down big pokemon in general. From the look of one of the excited little kids in the crowd there might have been some talk of professor positions opening up. Sure the kid was way too young but he seemed so genuinely excited talking to his mom about working with pokemon in a lab.
Yumi's own eyes returned to the stage, taking in the more specific part of the display the league had set up...didn't sound like they were desperate for workers or anything, but it did hit a chord with Yumi right now. As a trainer she earned her keep and her home was pretty self sufficient by now but...watching them make their speech made her realize she could probably focus herself a bit better...even if she wanted to be a champion one day it wasn't exactly her dream...

Standing at a tree stationed just a little way away from the stage, Dasha watched the speaker a bit lazily. She'd been asked specifically to keep an eye on the crowds that came and went at this impromptu recruiting event, but so far, nothing had really caught her interest. At her side, Snowflake lay with her face in her paws. Her air sense/disaster sense was not going off in the least, so she was vaguely bored.
Bounding through the crowd and 'keeping an eye right up close and personal' however, was a snow-white Pikachu named Bright Star. She'd been asked to 'observe' and 'report' any suspicious activity, but perhaps she only served to startle a few people now and again as she went around. Hmmmm, nope nothing suspicious here! Or here! Or here! Oomph?! Looking up at the person whose legs she'd just crashed into, the Pikachu sat back on her haunches. Ohh, what pretty red hair this human had! Like fire! "Chuuuu" she greeted softly.
"Sol…" Snowflake noted further off. Dasha's gaze flickered from her to the crowd again. Ah, had Bright Star caused some trouble yet? She chewed the inside of her mouth but would wait it out.

Knocked out of her dazed state as a Pikachu ran into her legs, Yumi's eyes dipped down to the small yellow mouse pokemon, offering it a smile. Even with the speed these little ones could have, it was hard to really hurt her much through the high, faintly thickened boots she tended to wear, lowering down on one knee to get a better look at the Pokemon, her Sawk leaning over her shoulder to get a look too, lightly scratching the scar on his cheek as he tried to determine if the Pikachu was anything to worry about.
"Hey little'n. You lose your trainer?" Yumi was a little cautious about picking the Pikcahu right up, but carefully reached out to see how it reacted to her hand. If she got a nice reaction she'd lift the Pikachu up as she stood and try to spot a trainer looking for it. If she got a bad reaction...well she'd back off pretty sharply and apologize.

Bright Star had not lost her trainer but was not one to actually refuse a hand either. Her nose twitched as she smelled the trainer's touch before rather fluidly brushing Yumi's hand up with her head. What a nice trainer! She'd fit rather easily into Yumi's arms as she was lifted up. Oh! She could see a little bit more of what was going on now! Not that her trainer hadn't been specifically directing her to keep an eye on the ground level- She may have forgotten that, exactly.
"Sol…" Snowflake frowned watching the crowd and being vaguely aware of those motions. As she saw Bright be lifted up, however, her head raised off her paws. Ah great. Dasha, meanwhile, sort of jolted back into reality on hearing Snowflake. What was- Hm? Even from where she was, Bright's coat was pretty easy to catch now, and a hand raised up to rub her temple. Of course Bright had found someone to snuggle her or whatever. "Snow do you wanna-"
The Absol gave a small nod and started towards the crowd shuffling through and coming towards Yumi. When she got there, a small head nod would be given and a simple direction motion back towards Dasha.

Picking up the small pikachu, Yumi finally noticed what she'd thought for a moment was a trick of the light actually was a pure white Pikachu...huh. She...wasn't aware such a divergence of color was possible. She'd seen pictures of shiny Pikachu, but this was a bit of an extreme wasn't it? Ah well, she wasn't about to judge too soon on this one. Could be one of those Pokemon who's trainer liked to dye their fur to make them special. Now if only she could find that trai-oh. Oh hello. As the Absol came up Ko-Ken put themselves between trainer and new, strange Pokemon, narrowing his eyes till they each realized what the Absol was doing.
"Oh! You know this Pikachu? Or...maybe just want me to follow you?" She'd tilt her head, either way the Absol clearly was trying to get their attention, and with Ko-ken staying close she moved in the direction they gestured, eventually finding the white haired Dasha through the crowd and (hopefully with some extra guidance from the absol) felt assured this must be the Pikachu's trainer. "Excuse me miss? This snowy looking little'n yours? They just bumped into my legs running through the crowd." She was practically cradling the Pikachu now, having been scratching it's belly as she walked.

Snowflake had stopped short as the Sawk stepped in between her and the human with Bright Star. She knew better than to get in another Pokemon's territory or anywhere near their human without consent, but she would like her to bring that Pikachu along yeah. As the red-haired human started to follow, Snowflake gave a small nod and started walking back towards Dasha, pushing through the crowds again slowly.
Snowflake would indeed guide them all the way over to Dasha, the latter following the motions with her eyes and … vaguely managing to offer a smile. She would… probably have to train Bright Star a little more after this, but for now she couldn't be too mad at a trainer who was returning a Pokemon she'd "found". A small puff of air escaped from Dasha anyways. "Bright Star, what are you doing."
On hearing Dasha's voice, Bright immediately perked up. "Chu?" O-oh! Dasha! She… totally remembered her vague mission now only on seeing her. Whoops?? Hehehehe. Still comfortable in Yumi's arms, she gave a small shrug of admission. Snowflake rolled her eyes. If she was a smaller Pokemon, she could do Bright's surveying herself.
Dasha, meanwhile, raised her gaze from the Pikachu up to Yumi. "Yes, she's mine… was doing a little bit of survey work but apparently got distracted…" She shifted a little, holding her jacket out in a way that Yumi could very briefly see her Interpol badge. Bright 'chuu'ed again clearly more embarrassed this time. Eheheheh.

Glad that the Absol was indeed taking them to the trainer, Yumi gave a light chuckle between Dasha and snowflake, petting the small Pokemon in her arms as it gave it's cute little shrug before lowering it down to the ground, feeling it should probably be on it's own two feet if it had it's trainer here now. "Well I'm just glad I didn't step on 'em by accident. That'd be a trag-"
Yumi flinched a little as she lifted her head back up, catching the Interpol badge and, instinctively, a jolt of fear ran through her...okay. She was in Veria, no reason to be scared anymore...you didn't do much when you were a rocket anyway, a lot of people did odd jobs for them just to earn some money. She eased up soon enough in reality though, patting her own legs down as she straightened up her back from putting the Pikachu down. "Survey huh? Interpol er...usually investigate public events like this?" She guessed it wasn't too hard to expect. Afterall big events had been...'interupted' a lot in the past two years.

As she was set down again, Bright Star rather quickly scurried up to Dasha and began climbing her again. On some practiced instinct, Dasha's arms folded, and the Pikachu was quick to worm her way into this nice crease. Dasha, meanwhile, frowned at the sudden flinched cut off. Hm? Had she had some problem with the law? Or was this one of those civilian surprise reactions? Her gut said the prior, but jumping the gun was never a good idea- especially in such a crowded environment.
The question, however, had her shrugging a little. "Faraday is our HQ's city, and they asked us to keep an eye on things for a little," she answered making a small head gesture towards the stage. With a couple crazies running around, she really couldn't blame them, even if this seemed like a better job for the local law enforcement. There was a pause before she went on. "Thinking of joining the Rangers?" That seemed to be what most people were there for. The glamour of climbing through the wilds and rescuing Pokemon seemed to be what was most publicized and garnered the most attention.

Yumi smirked a little at how cute the little white Pikachu was, giving it's ear a light pet before pulling her hand back, not wanting to invade on Dasha's personal space too much. Hearing she was keeping an eye on the event Yumi did too think that was probably a job for local law enforcement, but hey, it was probably just because this was their home town like they said. Josh had said something about Faraday being Interpol HQ once...
"Er...I guess? Maybe?" She shrugged casually with her arms folded over her chest, glancing to the stage where a ranger was displaying some specialized gear they used. "Used to do gym challenges but I've been out of it for a year...was thinking about finding some work and just happened to be passing by..." She smiled back at Dasha. "Hey, I'm good with Pokemon, its always an option right." Probably not, they likely did background checks...
Trying to shift her own brain's focus, she beamed a little more brightly. "So, Interpol. You don't happen to know a guy called Josh in your division do ya? Blonde hair, carries a Pikachu everywhere?"

Ah, a former trainer then? Or one taking a break, rather. Dasha was vaguely aware that some people managed to make it that far and could retire on that kind of income if they were good enough, but it still seemed like a hit or miss 'job'. I'm good with Pokemon- From the way Bright Star had reacted, Dasha could asses as much or maybe Bright was too trusting still, somehow.
The question caught her off guard, however, but on remembering Josh was also a celebrity it made more sense. "Ah yeah, I do actually," she answered shifting Bright a little so the Pikachu's weight would be a little more to her right side. "Do you know him personally or just a fan of his movies?"
"CHU!" Bright jumped in. She knew Josh's Pikachu! But she was still the cutest of all Pikachu kind! Dasha smiled a little softly and pet her a little more. Snowflake rolled her eyes again.

Snickering a little at Bright star's cute reaction to Josh's mention, it seemed Lightning might have had a friend in the office. With Dasha's questions though she was just giggling all the more, the Sawk by her side even scoffing at the idea. While Yumi thought Josh's film was alright, Ko-ken was...Not at all a fan. "Nah nah, I used to be really close with 'em. I actually rented a room off them for a while when I first moved to Veria. Moved out like...year and a half ago? Havn't really kept in touch so I was just wondering how he was doing? He still carry lightning everywhere?"
Maybe she wasn't one to talk on that last bit with Ko-ken, but to be fair, he carried her everywhere more so then she carried him, so there was a sliiiiight difference. "Heck, I gotta ask, he a good agent? Kinda fell outta touch right around the time he got the job."

Blue eyes blinked several times in rapid succession. Oh? This was a friend of Josh's? Huh. "He does," she answered briefly. "Carry that Pikachu around. He's doing good from what I can tell, got engaged a while back." Among other things.
Is he a good agent? Dasha's lips quirked a little before finally falling into a smile. "He works very hard from what I can tell." He always seemed kind of busy doing so many things, but she'd come to accept that of what he did do, it was good work. Some part of her briefly wanted to mention a mission in particular but… Yumi wasn't of Interpol and didn't exactly need all the details.
"Do you know the details of what pushed him to work for Interpol?" she asked after a moment. His file had some things, but it wasn't enough for a full picture of why or how he had joined.

Heh...yeah he had gotten engaged hadn't he. That was the last time she'd seen him but she...hadn't given the warmest reception to the news. She didn't really care for marriage or understand why people did it. Izumi and him were in love and...now they were doing some event to prove that? It never sat too well with her. Heck maybe the way she'd reacted to the news was why he didn't come round to visit now that her home was built..."Er...yeah. yeah I know...Izumi's a nice girl. He'd lucky to er...lock that down? That what people say?" She honestly wasn't sure.
Crossing her arms a little just to stand more comfortably, she blinked a little at the question, tipping her head back to think. "Er...Can't say really...he and I started running into this weird group that was making pokemon go into fits a while back...maybe he joined Interpol to try and track them down?" She gave a light shrug when something occurred to her, offering out a hand. "Yumi, by the way, Yumi Tasukai." A league semi-finalist, but it was up to Dasha if she recognized, or even knew the name or not.

Dasha was vaguely indifferent towards romantic relationships in general, but the girl's response (had she really not gotten her name yet? Oops) did have her eyebrow quirking. She… didn't know Izumi and couldn't judge but?
She switched gears, however, and was more comfortable in doing so. A weird group that makes Pokemon go into fits… Had she read something about that? She thought so, but confirmation bias was too much of a thing for her to be sure. There seemed to be so much going on in Veria that it was almost hard to keep track of. "Maybe have to look into that myself." she mumbled a bit before shrugging for now.
As the girl gave her name and her hand, Dasha took it simply. She would not, in fact, recognize her name, for now at least. Maybe a Google search later would show her more. "Dasha Laska, nice to meet you… this is Bright Star and Snowflake." The Pikachu trilled in her arms while the Absol gave a small nod. "Sorry to ask but- could you maybe elaborate on what Pokemon were going into fits?" And why?

Shaking the interpol agents hand, Yumi had no expectations to be recognized, though it was perhaps a light bummer that Josh never mentioned her if this woman was their co-worker. Ah well. She'd been hiding in obscurity for like a year out in the ruins so it wasn't like she should expect even Josh to talk about her. At the question, she had to think a little. "Er...was a while back but I guess that stuff sticks with ya huh?" She scratched her cheek, thinking what specifically was worth mentioning.
"Mostly wild Pokemon, but I remember one specifically was a Garchomp. Most of the Pokemon went into frenzies cause of some larger device, but that one specifically had a collar. It Mega evolved too, but don't know if that was because of the guy controlling it, or the collar itself."
