"...Well, if it'll stop you from crying, and if you cannot afford another, then take it."Parker spoke in a calm tone, not showing much of an expression as he insisted on Selene taking the ice cream."...Besides, this is more of a vacation to mostly everyone... And there's enough for everyone."He would soon go ahead and sit down, Greninja just waving before it went to make sure Toxicroak doesn't cause any trouble.
Robert
*She'd nervously smile and refuse the Ice Cream once again, too prideful to accept an Ice Cream from a stranger.* "Uhm, n-no, no, no, i-it's fine, I can buy another one." *Hopefully, he wouldn't understand and wouldn't see through her facade as she was out of money and asking money from a stranger would seem weird.*
George
He'd merely stare at Selene with quite the gaze. He was a bit too stubborn to let up.
"...Are you certain you can?...You don't seem like you are of wealth."He said, having quite the intimidation to his glare.
"...Or maybe is that this is the first time we saw one another, and trust is an issue?...Is that it?"He asked.
Robert
*Selene would scratch her head as he was spot on, getting his assumptioms correct as this was more of a trust issue.* "Uhm, i-it's not that, I-I'm sure I have more than enough money to get myself. And uhm, yes, my mother has taught me not to accept candy from strangers. Well, apart from Rare Candy." *Selene would giggle at her own joke, trying to lighten up the mood.*
George
"...Very well. I can understand that much... Either way, I am Parker, I hail from Dorimay. And you are?"Parker spoke, for now just holding the ice cream he was offering and still staring at Selene.
Even with the joke, his expression didn't change much.
Robert
*Tough crowd, huh? Seeing Parker's face expression, she felt kind of sad seeing as her joke didn't go through him.* "Well, I'm Selene from the tropical islands of Alola. I don't know about Dorimay or that, I've never heard of it, where is that?" *Being an Island Challenger, her knowledge was vast and didn't know much about geography and things like that, however when it came to her Pokemon battles, she knew a ton.*
George
"...It is a continent with a series of islands, it a little aways from other regions... I come from Ne'rmoat. One of the two twin isles in Dorimay."Parker spoke, staring until he added."...I've heard of Alola before... Even heard of something called Z-Moves?...Something like that?"
He spoke, as he soon decided to let out his Decidueye, who went ahead and tried to sit on Parker's shoulders- Although that proved difficult to the owl's size.
Robert
*Selene would be shocked and surprised at the fact Parker's Decidueye was able to sit on his shoulder. Selene's Decidueye, Quiver would come and sit next to her, seeing Parker and his Decidueye.* "Seems we both have a Decidueye, huh? Me and Quiver have a special Z-Crystal given to us by Professor Kukui, a Decidium Z. Have you heard of it, it's really cool." *Wanting to replicate Parker's Decidueye, Quiver would try and sit on her shoulder, making Selene fall down as she happened to be a skinny 12 year-old.* "What? N-."
George
"Decidium Z?...I think Decidueye swallowed something like that when it was a Rowlet."Parker spoke, soon sitting himself down as to easier bear Decidueye's weight.
"...I still have it, though I am unsure on how it works."He said, watching Selene and Quiver for a few moments, before suddenly just letting out a small bit of a laugh from the Decidueye's antics.
Robert
*Selene would try to push Quiver away as she didn't want him sit on her shoulder. Selene would sound clearly frustrated as she wanted to avoid being injured.* "Nooooo, Quiver, you can't sit on my shoulder no more." *The Decidueye still thinking it was Rowlet would fly up in the air and sit on her shoulder. Selene's body not able to support Quiver's weight would fall to the ground with Selene being hurt.* "Ouch, I told you Quiver."
George
"Hmm..."Parker went ahead and set his Decidueye down before headed over to help Selene up.
"It takes a bit of strength to be able to do that, Selene... That or it'll take a while for Quiver to get used to the fact that you can't carry 'em."He said as his Toxicroak walked on over, going ahead and poking Quiver some out of curiosity.
Robert
*Selene would dust herself off and smile it off, pretending like nothing happened.* "Yep, he still can't face the fact he's grown while I've stayed the same." *While Quiver was going through changes throughout their adventures, going from strentgh to strength and finally reaching his final form, Selene remained the same without even growing a single inch during her Island Challenge, something that frustrated her.*
George
Parker nodded, then soon spoke."Well... You've changed as well, just not in the physical sense... If you're here, then that means that you're strong enough to take on what's ahead of you and your team... In a sense, we all grow."He said, staring to her.
"...If that makes any sense to you."
Robert
*Selene would smile, knowing that Parker was right. After all, she had matured during her Island Challenge.* "Yes, yes, I have Mister Parker and it makes perfect sense however I was only talking about the physics sense or that, yes, uhm, physics?" *Selene would scratch her neck, not knowing whether she used the correct word there.*
George
"You can just call me Parker, no need for calling me Mister- you know... And I think its physical-"Parker responded, giving a tiny bit of a smile.
"...Either way- Maybe you'd like to see just how far you've come, correct?"He spoke, somewhat offering a battle to Selene.
Robert
*Being pretty dense, Selene wouldn't understand what he was talking about and unsure of how to do so, she'd scratch the top of her head with a pretty confused look on her face.* "Uhm, w-what do you mean? Like, how can I do that, is there like a test on this Island I can take."
George
"I-...Well, would you like to have a battle, Selene? To see just how far you've progressed."Parker responded to clear things up. She kinda reminded him of someone, but he decided not to bring it up.
Robert
*Selene would facepalm, how could she not have known that was what he was talking about? She'd start laughing at her own stupidity before agreeing to.* "Well, sure. I'm not the Champion of Alola for nothing after all." *Her Decidueye would fly in front of her, getting ready to battle Parker.*
George
"...Very well... But better we head somewhere more suitable for our battle, yes?"Parker spoke. As internally excited as he was for the battle, he didn't want to accidentally break something inside the parlor, unless there enough space for such.
