Luke’s ears perked a little as Sequoia spoke, but what exactly she was saying was beyond him. Thus he chose to ignore it for the most part and went on feeding the Tirtouga. The hungry turtle made his fill of the numerous berries that Luke had brought for the very purpose of garnering some friendship, and the human handing them over couldn’t help but feel a little relieved he’d brought something to offer such a specular specimen.
After a moment, a thought occurred to Luke, and he found himself fishing out a phone of his own to shoot a picture of the Tirtouga. The flaky creature immediately shoved his face into the camera’s sight and made for a fuzzy picture. Luke snorted softly, backed up a smidgen, and tried again. The Tirtouga got too close again. Luke snorted softly and put the phone away. “Fine….” he mumbled only for the Tirtouga to lean right up to his face again. Immediately Luke set back a bit too aware he’d received a bite the last time. The Tirtouga paused and shifted back as well but offered something of a silly smile. A small ‘heh’ sound escaped from Luke before he shook his head and went back to slowly patting the fickle creature.
For a while this was fine, but slowly, hesitantly, Luke fished out a Pokeball and held it to the Tirtouga wondering if he might capture the strange friendly creature. The Tirtouga looked thoughtful but would push the button with his nose right after.

“Don’t worry Lukey, I got plenty of lovely shots of this for you to enjoy~!” Chuckling as she watched her friend in a futile attempt to snap a shot of his new friend, Sophie Sequoia moved to right up to the side of the professor and took a picture over his shoulder. While not a first person view but catching the playful look of this pokemon and just a hint of the head of Mr Indigo, it had to be said that while an amateur in the photography circuit this particular professor might have had some talent.
“Oooooooooh!” The video recording she was making resuming after the second or two of still shooting, Sophie could barely contain her squealing as she watched the messy haired man gently petting the increasingly tamed turtle, and then let out a gasp as she saw her partner pulling a pokeball from his pocket. “The moment of truth, let’s see how well this amazing ancient has warmed to Professor Indigo?” Shifting the zoom on her camera as she returned to her quiet commentary, with her voice hushed as not to disturb the curious creature, one of those odd aquatic pokeballs offered to the animal by her companion as she watched on.
Let’s see the Aquasphere’s potential put into action~ Rather interested to see just how this process might have worked, while there had been times when Miss Sequoia herself had snagged a pokemon or two without the need for battling, something as strong and prestigious as an ancient entity seemed so much trickier a task to coerce. Professor Indigo, now is the time to impress me! Rare and likely enjoying its freedom, though this Tirtouga seemed rather a tame one it’s bloodline was definitely one that had never gotten too used to the company of humans. This a test both of the system that this watery region had in place as well as a testament to a professor’s prowess, with no small degree of wonder Sophie looked on, hoping for a happy result!

A red light called the Tirtouga into the Pokeball, and as it swayed a little in his hands, Luke waited pensively. After a second or two, however, the click of capture had him slowly exhaling. “Very nice,” he mumbled as much to himself as to his new counterpart. While not entirely rare for him to get a new Pokemon, coaxing one into coming along and such a rare one at that left him feeling deeply self-satisfied.
Looking back to Professor Sequoia, however, Luke blinked slowly being brought back into the world around him. “…. Were you videotaping that?” he finally asked raising an eyebrow. A hand extended as if perhaps he wanted to take the camera from her. He…. Ah… really didn’t want to have any kind of footage of himself anywhere that he couldn’t just delete at any moment.
The sounds of water splashing distracted him, however, and staring off towards the water, he watched a Wailmer surface briefly before disappearing back down below. Above them, a Wingull called as if to draw in some vague attention as well. Truly, though, after such a rare capture, he couldn’t be as enticed by those types of Pokemon now.

“It worked! Ladies and gentlemen, a hand for our handsome professor!” Grinning and giving a little round of applause to Luke as she watched that pokeball lid stay closed, with a giggle Sophie Sequoia let her video linger on the victory for a few seconds, before she discovered that her jig had most definitely reached something of a high altitude. Sweet and shy Mr Indigo shooting a look over his shoulder as he caught onto her little bit of film making, after jolting slightly at his recognition, she flicked off the camera and pulled her pink wristwatch behind her arm, not intending to give it up any time soon.
“Welllll…” Surprised that her clever friend had taken so long to cotton on to what she was doing, with a glance to one side Sophie poked her tongue out playfully and squeezed her hands together behind herself, puffing out her chest a little as she hid her tool from her companion. “I took a little bit of footage here and there, to document the ancient pokemon and such?” Pouting slightly as she downplayed the actual degree of the documentary making she had been involved in order to pull the wool over her fellow professor’s eyes.
“OH WOW! WAILMER!” A big old blue beach ball bursting from the water’s surface with an almost perfect sense of timing, Miss Sequoia discovered that she had never been so excited to see that round shape of the balloon-like beast as much as she had now. Using the distraction to her advantage and rushing closer to the rippling water it had created, she leaned closer to the choppy lake-like surface and watched the animal dive back down into the deep.
“Ahahahaha! Such a noisy sea crow!” The moment again interrupted as the white feathers of a wingull loomed overhead, with a jabbering cry a Wingull seemed to circling overhead, perhaps drawn by the commotion of the capture or even the berries that Luke had used to win the heart of that aquatic ancient in the moments before. Flying low and showing that same degree of tame curiosity that the Tirtouga had, the seagull cried out as it circled the pair and Sophie felt herself compelled by its curiosity to pull a pokebean from her pocket into the air and toss it to this perfectly distracting animal.
“Oh! Nice catch!” The little treat arcing through the air but given little time to fall back toward the sea before a seasoned beak snatched it from the sky, Sophie giggled and clapped at the flying feat before turning back toward her companion and hoping he had forgiven or at least forgotten about the footage. “So, wanna head back down and see where that Wailmer went off to?” Smiling widely and tugging at the hand of her fellow professor, Miss Sequoia tilted her head in the direction of the staircase that they had rushed up in order to get to the Tirtouga, wondering what other brilliant beasties might be lurking beneath the water…

Luke’s brows furrowed some, but finally an “Ah…” escaped from him. He could understand that specially with her interest in interaction. Still, he felt vaguely uncomfortable for some reason? The sudden excitement over the Wailmer, however, had Luke switching gears some. Watching as Sophie rushed over to it, he couldn’t help but smile a little. Watching her skill with entertaining the Wingull only eased him more. Man it is bright out here though… His eye was starting to hurt, and closing it for a couple seconds only allotted a little reprieve.
As if on some unknown cue, Sophie suggested heading back down, and Luke slowly nodded. “Alright,” he answered already starting over that way after the fact. Coming down the stairs again into a darker cooler area, Luke felt his eye pain subside a little. A yellow gaze swept over the water tunnel again taking in the numerous moving Pokemon in its wake. No sight of the Wailmer, but he did see a Barboach swimming along now and picking at something or other.
….And it felt vaguely as if something or someone was staring at him? Looking back over his shoulder, Luke would find the very same Wingull had fluttered down the steps with them to stare at him and Sophie. “Huh?” The Wingull let out a cry, a tone very similar to the complaint of a baby Pokemon. Luke hesitated before fishing another berry out of his pocket and holding it forward. Immediately the bird broke into flight and dived to snatch the berry from his hand. “Outch,” Luke gasped when it accidentally clipped his fingers. Holding his hand tight in the other hand, Luke frowned softly.

“Oh goodness, it’s followed us!” Eyes and smile wide as she spun on the spot and saw that the fellow with white feathers had ventured down into the viewing area, as it began to get friendly with her auburn haired partner, Sophie Sequoia couldn’t help but giggle as she watched the two of them interact. Bossy little bird seeming to demand further food and so downright dominating of Mr Indigo that the boy began to bend to his will, it was like watching a pet and their owner but this time it was the animal that was in control!
“Oh he sure seems to be hungry, Lukey!” Grinning as she observed the hungry seagull snap at the fingers of her friend and continue to cry out enthusiastically, Sophie flicked her hair and then reached into her pocket, pulling out another pokebean and holding it out in the palm of her hand. “Let’s see if he likes yours or mine better, huh?” Smirking at the flustered fellow opposite and making a gently cooing sound to catch the attention of this wonderful Wingull, the lips of the lady curled as she watched those white wings flick and flop as it moved over to her, hovering and lifting the item in her hand with ever such a degree of delicacy. Seemingly gentle with her while such a brute with the other boy, this plucky little creature intrigued the professor and her hand dove back into her pocket, pulling out another bean but not giving this one up so easily.
“Heeheehee, come on you cheeky guy, you’re gonna have to work for this one~!” Chuckling softly and keeping the bean in her hand hidden away beneath her fingers, with a gentle tap on her shoulder she motioned to the animal to come to rest on it, wondering if it was clever enough to figure this little game out. Bird looking toward her and then at the closed hand, for a second it seemed to gently flap as it weighed up its options, Sophie was confident that a crafty seaside bird like this would be able to understand the intention here, and wondered if it would be willing to go along with it in order to get a reward?
“Ohhhhhh very goooood!” Mewing happily as the Aquasphere avian elected to debase itself for a food reward and settle on her shoulder, with a gentle crowing the creature seemed to ask politely for its reward, which Sophie was happy to give. Lifting her hand toward the bird and opening her fingers, as a soft peck plucked the provision into its beak, Miss Sequoia could feel herself falling in love with this creature with every moment that passed. "What do you say, Luke? Should we keep him?" Not seeming to be special or at all remarkable about the appearance or characteristics of this flying beggar bit its personality certainly something that tickled her, the professor wondered if she should try out her own attempt at a ‘capture’ in this watery realm?

Feeling over the small breaks in the flesh of his fingers, Luke frowned softly. “Hungry and a bit too straightforward for its own good,” he mumbled more to himself than Sophie. Vaguely Luke had to wonder how old the Wingull was and whether it had undergone any sort of socialization or training. It seemed like the Pokemon here were more docile than their wild counterparts, but the way the Wingull had reacted was….not quite the same.
Watching as the other professor produced another treat and how the bird reacted in turn, however, Luke blinked in surprise to see how easily the creature was tamed. Even if it had to ‘work’ for the second treat, the fact that it did so readily and willingly argued that it did have some knowledge of humans. Tch, maybe it just likes her more… Which… he could fully see in terms of people and Pokemon. Sequoia had a certain charisma about her that just seemed to attract people (and probably Pokemon now, yeah). A vague jealousy came and went from him right then.
As Sophie drew the conversation of sorts back to him, however, Luke blinked a couple of times. “Ah…” He wasn’t that interested in the Wingull as a catch, but Sophie had different research interests. “Might be able to use it as a scouting Pokemon if it evolves…” he offered ideas briefly before reaching back and rubbing the side of his neck. “It clearly prefers you anyways…” It was … just an observed fact, right then, yeah. It was then that Luke caught the gaze of the Wingull again and…. the cheeky look it was giving him had his teeth gritting. “It might need more training…” he emphasized after the fact.
Along the glass walls of the Aquasphere tube, a Barboach had swam up to see what all the commotion as about. On seeing the two humans and that particular Wingull, however, she quickly swam off again. She had other more interesting things to pursue. Distracted, Luke would be none the wiser.

“He certainly does seem keen on me, doesn’t he?” Speaking with her words soft like a purr as she lifted a hand up to gently scratch the sea bird at the side of her head, Sophie Sequoia smiled as she watched how endearing this avian could be. A common pokemon for sure but certainly a character, as she gently eased her fingers away, in a moment the Wingull was nuzzling the palm of her hand, looking to see if she had any more little treats between there. Grinning and then shaking her head, while the professor still had a pocket full of the little beans that this feathery forager seemed to love, she decided she didn’t want to over feed his lean frame, especially with items that were more treats than nutrition.
“Though I think he likes you too!” Bird blinking and then looking back toward the auburn haired boy who accompanied her to the aquasphere, with a squawking cry the creature hopped from the shoulder of the pink haired professor and began to flap around him excitedly, seeming to have taken a real shine to him as well. Flapping his wings and crowing in what she assumed was adoration, Sophie wondered if she should let Luke himself catch this bird, but remembered that they probably shouldn’t be too greedy in this environment.
“Heeheeheehee, you two are so cute together, I’ll try catching him, but you can play together anytime, OK?” Pulling one of the special pokeballs from her pocket that this location seemed to demand and rolling it around her palm for a second, Miss Sequoia decided she’d snag this cute seagull and spare Luke a catch for later on. Noticing the obvious chemistry between him and the Wingull or perhaps misinterpreting something else, the professor made a mental note to make sure she brought this cute critter with her when she went on more exercises with Luke, expecting they would get along as well as they were now.
“Heeyyyyyy! Wanna come with us? There might be more treats in it?” Tossing the green and red coloured orb up and down a few times to catch the attention of the feathered flyer before dropping another pokebean into her palm along with it, she baited the bird to join her team. Wondering just how well her charms might work on a pokemon in the aquasphere, though the girl had managed to win the hearts of a few monsters and make them her own without fighting in the past, how would this crafty crow of the sea fare against her wits?

Luke… wasn’t entirely sure if the Wingull liked him or liked the food he’d offered, but still a small ghost of a smile came and went from his features as Sophie spoke. “I…” he didn’t finish whatever he was about to say and just sort of nodded. He wasn’t too keen on playing with the bird, but what exactly was so off putting, he couldn’t quite grasp. Still, watching Sophie bait and capture the bird with her straightforward charisma and earnest nature was just as strangely heartwarming?
Even as the ball dinged in capture and the realization that he’d have to deal with this bird for who knew how long, Luke was … very briefly at peace with this idea. For now. “Very nice…” he spoke quietly after the fact. Slowly looking around the glassy room once again, Luke let out a soft noise as he started over to one of the glass parts again. “There’s… a lot of interesting things here.” He’d switched gears again but couldn’t help it. This room in particular was fascinating to look at. Technological marvels that intergrated with nature were truly the best of the best at least according to Luke.

“YATTA!” Pumping one hand as the other raised a now occupied aqua-ball in her hand, with a triumphant cry that she had picked up in Johto or somewhere like that, Sophie Sequoia smiled wide as she celebrated. Capturing this pokemon with only the power of her charm and smarts, as a brand new Wingull rested with the trophy of a trap she held aloft, the girl felt even prouder than usual because of her achievement. There being something oddly rewarding about this friendship only style of catching, the hints of guilt one felt at hurting a pokemon as they tried to subdue it were absent, and in their place instead was a feeling of even greater jubilation.
“We did it!” Bouncing up and down happily as her spirit was seized by an unbridled sense of glee, after performing a handful of bunny hopping bounds across to her auburn haired partner, with a giggle Sophie threw her arms around him like she was a schoolgirl hugging her bezzie. "We got our own feathery little baby!" Chuckling madly as she squeezed the shorter Mr Indigo closer to herself and then going as far as to peck his cheek excitedly, Miss Sequoia thought little of her deed as she released the modestly statured man and then spun the spot. Aqua ball still snug in her hand as she snapped both of her hands to her hips and scanned the glass around them, the pink haired professor wore a look of mixed delight and determination as she wondered what else might be lurking out here.
“There’s bound to be treasures hidden all over, let’s go find them, Luke!” Seeming more and more like a little girl who had perhaps eaten just a bit too much sugar, with her free hand snapping forward with a jabbing finger, the buzzing beauty bounded forward and broke into a trot. Dashing down the corridor into which they had moved and storing her find on the belt at her waist, with a half turn and beckoning paw, Miss Sequoia bade for her companion to follow her deeper into the depths of this aquatic realm…

Unexpected warmth filled Luke’s features at Sophie’s jubilation. She was… adorable when that happy? He had no other way to describe it. Even if he wasn’t too pleased with the bird’s capture, Sophie’s enthusiasm was almost contagious. A silly smile finally pulled itself onto his features, and a small half-laugh escaped from him in response. “We did, yeah,” he agreed weakly. Feathery baby? Er? Uh? Ok?? Suddenly pulled into a squeeze, Luke found the warmth burning his features again and a sort of nervous expression came to his features as lips met his cheek. O-oh, ok. Ok.
Relaxing once he was released, Luke rubbed the side of his cheek slowly. Before he had much time to recover, however, Sophie was already on to the next thing. Very excitable.. Very. A smaller smile pulled onto Luke’s features as he started after her following down through the glass room again. It turned out on closer inspection, there were several glass tunnels with which one could go down. The smooth curvature and the natural way the water seemed to bend had led him to not realize it immediately, but now Luke found himself walking down one and looking over the glass areas again.
Swimming in the water, a Clauncher paused on seeing Luke and Sophie and stared for a moment curiously. Crustacean types… Luke’s lips pressed together as he wandered over to look at the creature briefly. “Their evolutions are known to have huge cannon like arm extensions,” he spoke without immediately thinking about it. “And they’re some of the species outside of Lucario that can use Aura Sphere.” Lucario, of course, being the Aura Pokemon and therefore predisposed to it anyways. It always did vaguely interest him due to a sort of ‘aunt’ he had who was very invested in the research, but he didn’t know it as extensively as he probably would have liked to.
There was a pause before Luke looked back towards Sophie. “You know it’s sort of interesting that certain species can learn moves that would otherwise seem outside of their scope- Clawitzer and Togekiss learn Aura Sphere for instance. It might have to do with something in the way Pokemon breed.” Which, in a roundabout way, was ecology, right? Right.
