"Didn't someone tell me how they wouldn't like the coffee?" Ikari spoke, seems like he did no as he stopped petting venusaur

"Or... Did you have a change of heart?"
Kelsey
Dari was sipping it down til only half of it remained, dari would pull the mug away from his lips smacking them some. "I didnt say that I didnt like it... I said i barely had coffee you know like... I dont know..." He'd keep sipping the coffee, he'd the go up to Ikari. "You are such a saint you know that and all that like like like like..."
Lois
"Yeah you will get an excuse later" He lays down, his hands behind his head as he crossed his leg "I'm just glad you like it an all..." He yawned a little as his Venusaur decides to go hangout with Darmanitan
Kelsey
He'd then start tapping on his arm repeatedly and rapidly. "Hey hey hey hey hey, have you like checked out this tower yet like you know what up in there or whatever like like like um..." He had so much energy in him as walked around in circles.
Lois
He sighed as his eyes watched him "I have not checked the tower... Probably just some ghost types and shit" He didn't mind the poking as he continued watching them circle around
Kelsey
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey, come on come on come on come on" He said taking his hand pulling on it. "I wanna see the ghosts pokemon and shit" He'd try to pull him to go inside, but didnt really have the strength.
Lois
He got an idea and got up. "WOAH HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG?!" He dramatically said as he got up. "Holy shit!" He acted like he trips and stumbles a little
Kelsey
Dari would then suddenly in atand place looking at Ikari oddly. "Wait wait wait, you serious?" He'd then try to pull on him some more. "Is you're drink giving me power?!"
Lois
Ikari fell to his knees as Dari tugged his arm "Too much... Power... Im weak" He dramtically said as his free hand was on the ground
Kelsey
Dari would then look as his hands watch them shake as he let out such amazed noises eyes shining bright, til he suddenly realized "Hey hey hey wait a minute!" He yelled out hands on his sides as he taps his foot on the ground rapidly.
Lois
"Ah you got me" He giggled as he gets up and starts heading to the tower. "The Tower does not wait for itself. Lets go"
Jimmy
Dari would pout and let out a frustrated growl as he would shove Ikari by his arm and walked by inside checking up on what in the tower.
Lois
Ikari walked around. He yawned a bit as he loojed at all the ruined architecture. "Pretty neat don't you think?"
Kelsey
Dari would look around the place from where he stood amazed with the place. "Who would've known that this place would have something like this..." He'd look at the bunch of stairs that would lead to the very top. "Come on let's head on up there!" He might have enough caffeine and sugar to get by this or maybe make the biggest mistake here.
Lois
"Alrighty then... Like I have a choice..." He follow him. His hands sway side to side as he looked around. "No clue by the way. On your first question"
Jimmy
Dari was walking up ahead of Ikari at the moment looking like was really taking on this place really well. "This place doesnt like a problem! I could do this all day!" He said on the first few floors til he was reaching more levels. "Alright... This ain't so bad to get through... Its just stairs not biggie" Then next few level "Ok seriously, how many stairs could there be to a place like this..." He was starting to pant already slowing down as he was walking by Ikari's side. "I got this I got this..." He starting to perspire still trying to make his way up. "Oh god oh god no... I feel like in losing it here is this where I meet my end?!" Finally after reaching the second the the last level. "I hate this... Is this what hell is like?!" And finally he'd make it to the top being on all fours slowly descending up on them as he broke down flopping down on the floor. "See... I told you" He panted heavily unable to move anymore.
Lois
"You really need to exercise and shit... That was a breeze" He crouched down and watched them "Deep breaths though... You seem like your going to hurl all of that coffee out of your mouth"
Kelsey
He'd take his advice slowly stand up from where he laid himself down on slowly standing up, legs feeling like jelly as he hung onto the sides of the tower feeling the breeze of being up in here. "I made it!" He yelled out raising his fist up high.
Lois
He pats his back as he goes somewhere to sit "Congratulations. You did something cool I guess" He sits down next to a wall as he hugged his knees
Jimmy
After a few minutes of breathing and taking a break he'd finally start looking around the place camera in hand while taking shots of the different spots and looking over the ledge of the tower.
Lois
He watched for a little bit before looking around for Ghosts Type pokemon to fight against and battle. He brought his Sableye with him as he looks around
Jimmy
It took sometime as Dari would then head back to Ikari all joyous and giddy from all the shots he got from here. While he was at it he would zoom in at Ikari and his Sableye trying to see if he could get a good shot of their interaction. He'd look at his Sableye checking it out some feeling some odd chills from the crepppy little thing or maybe he might have a bit of a relation to the sableye.
Lois
"Use Shadow Claw" The Sableye's left hand glows purple as it crawls towards a Duskclops. It climbs onto the enemy as it began violently scratching at the enemy, the wild Duskclops is pushed to the ground, But not fainted as Ikari grabs an Ultra Ball from his bag and ***Yeets*** It at the pokemon. Sableye jumps off before the ball hits Duskclops as it watches the ball wiggle and rotate before ending with a couple of small stars coming out of the ball, Signifying a successful catch
Jimmy
Dari would keep snapping shots of of Ikari and the savageness of the Sableye slashing its claws at the Duskclops. After seeing it captured he'd set his camera aside in his pocket and head towards Ikari. "You thinking adding the poor thing to your group would help you out in beating me?" Hands on his own hips head tilting to the side saying some.
Lois
"No... I just want to fill in the little spots I have left on my dex. Besides, Sableye is a bit under leveled with the team" He opens his arms to Sableye as it jumps onto it's trainer, Crawling onto his shoulder as his head darts around for more enemies to fight. "Besides... From what I see... It benefits you as well. Cuz you get pictures and shit" He looks around for anything else of interest
Kelsey
"Awww you really do care for me" He said all singsong like as he would look at the sableye on his shoulder seeing how playful it seemed to be. "Well I think I've got what I could get from this place?..."
Lois
"Oh alright... Let's head back then... Also to what you just said... Of course I care for a friend dammit" He pouted as he went down the stairs. Hiding the small little blush he had as he walked down the stairs at a quick pace
Jimmy
Dari's would sparkle as he would hear the same special work Ikari said in his head over and over as he would get all giddy giggling joyously as he quickly started moving down the stairs. "Hey... Say that again would you?" He would lean forward to look at him in the eyes.
Lois
He looked away from Dari "I-I said... Of course your my f-friend dammit... Now stop getting on my ass about it" He crossed his arms and walked faster. Pouting a little as he tried his best not to show his face
Kelsey
Dari would then couldn't contain his energy as he felt like he was walking on sunshine as he walked down the stairs as if he were in a musical and he was singing his solo queue. While he went down these stairs he'd walk down them beside Ikari along the way radiating this aura. "I got the bad boy feeling soft on me" He said joking around and repeating it like it were nursery school song.
Lois
"...." He found a window and goes over to it "GLISCOR I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO GLID ME DOWN!!" He yells as his Gliscor quickly comes up. He grabbed a claw and glided down. Too embarrassed to be near Dari right now as he stuffed his face into his jacket's hoodie. He arrived on ground as his hands covered his face
Kelsey
Dari could barely react to this as he would watch him get flown out of the window by his gliscor and then let out a shrug and sigh and laughed to himself some and continued to wall down the stair to let him be. "I really tease him too much..."
Lois
Ikari was making embarrased groans as he rolled around a little. Trying to push away from his friend's tease "Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit" He kept saying this as his Mawile looks at him, And then at the Tower where she realized the situation and tried their hardest not to laugh
Jimmy
After sometime going down those stairs Dari would come out from the front and check around Ikari was still there from where he set up his little rest place. He'd hum to himself along the way feeling too good all over.
Lois
Ikari's Pokemon looked at each other for a bit before deciding to all return to their pokeballs. Deciding them having alone time would do something as Ikari tried his best so hide his face. "Dammit dammit dammit dammit damit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit"
Jimmy
Luckily Dari would see Ikari seeing only his back as he wondered what he was doing like that. "Hey, how come you didnt offer me a ride down here with you?..." He didnt sound angry or irritated. Dari would the try to go around him to take a look at his face completely unsure why his head was hanging down like that and why his hoodie was up.
Lois
"Mmm..." He grumbled as he didn't answer "I'm too embarrassed... First you beat me in two battles in a row, And now I'm a ball of embarrassment... Damn you Dari... Damn you" He curled himself tighter into a ball, his hair was ruffled by his hoodie as his pale face was a beat red "...."
Jimmy
Dari would look down at him silently and then giggle some as he would get close to him and placed his hand on each of his shoulders. "Aww come on is that what it is?... If you want then we could stop the fighting and I wont have to be taking your money from you?" He tried to reassure Ikari. "If you want I could leave you alone?..."
Lois
"I-I don't want time alone... I'd rather have company with me... And I want to get stronger anyways..." He pulled down his hoodie as he pouts

"Besides... Your my only friend here... Why would I push you away?"
Kelsey
Dari smiled as he would then crouch down as low as he could, but if that weren't enough, he'd lay himself down on til he was still the one looking up to him rather than down at him. "Alright, I'll be around and by your side Ikari" He would smile brightly and then slowly get the hoodie off of him. "You big softie..."
Lois
"T-thank you..." He grumbled as he looked at the ground. Threw all the things they have been through, It seems Ikari has fully warmed up to Dari. "....I feel like... I can tell you something... About my past... Now that I think of you as a friend... I want to trust you..."
Jimmy
Dari would go silent when he heard this feeling some chills as he wondered if he were even ready for this kind of personal trust of personal talk. He'd gulp some and then stood up taking his hand to pull him up. "Come on, let's get comfy while were at it..."
Lois
"Y-yeah..." He gets up with his help "S-so... You know Jack right? My Darmanitan?" He stops for a moment "When I eas little... My mom died when I was born... My Dad... Being human and shit, thought I was the reason mom died... Took the blame on me as soon as I could read and talk"
Jimmy
As Dari was taking him to sit by the campfire he'd suddenly stopped when Ikari did turning around to face Ikari. He'd listen to him intently while taking this seriously listening in one his back story. Once he stopped talking for a moment he'd take him closer to the campfire and sat down with him.
Lois
"Ah... He would beat me... And due to that... I would hide in the basement and attic... I found a galarian Darumaka there... Jack but small.." He laughed a little "It's trainer abandoned it too... So it hid in our house. We became good friends and shit as you can tell"
