"Well, I guess if this is a party I should be dancing," Ciara decided. Until something startled her, sunset? Or was it the lights that appeared to be glowing a little more than usual? Instantly, 'was that my fault?' came across her head. Ciara ignored it, until she heard somebody yell "Hey, chick, sup?" this person was too strange for her to have already met her, but the voice could be picked out clearly...who the heck was this person? either was she probably didn't want to find out.....

Dmitriy rolled his eyes, "It's okay Ardeo, the boy's just insecure about his standing as a trainer. Probably new out of the lab, if I had to guess." He snorted, "No one wants to enter a battle they know they'll lose." He guestured towards the entire crowd, now, with, "I'm actually itching to see new pokemon and battle new people, as well. If anyone is interested in one, I would gladdly take a challenge." And with that he leaned forward and got his own punch and waited for a reply
Leah, who had been listeneing through the entire thing, spoke up finally, staring at the magnemite, "If you want a party either accept a challenge, be a respectable person, or go party alone where none of us have to come in contact with you.". She shrugged, "I think it's a pretty simple request. One that I don't think many people will argue with."
Rowan sighed. This battle was boring. She turned on her heels and stalked out of the building to go mess with someone more interesting than teenagers.
Another person entered as she left, having to move out of the way as she stalked out of the gym. Vincent blinked at her, but continued on anyways. He looked around, attempting to find White. The gym leader was the only one he was really interested in conversing with, being a gym leader himself. He thought maybe it'd be fun to have friends who were also in his position in the pokemon world. He noticed Kai. He didn't really like what this White person looked like, but this person was male.. and seemed like he could be a good trainer. Smiling brightly, Vincent walked up to him. "Hello." he said, grinning, "Are you White?"

((Novis is actually genderless; it's just easier and makes more sense to refer to him as male - constantly using "it" would just make everything confusing.))
Novis laughed to himself at the Skitty's comments. "I don't recall anyone actually challenging me."
He put his punch down and watched the Houndoom. "That's someone who wants a battle," he said to the Skitty. "I never asked anyone for one, so technically I don't have to battle anyone."
Novis sighed and picked up his punch again, watching the lights alternate between red and pink. "If you're wondering, no, I don't really have a reason for being here. But I'm not the type to ruin everything. Think about it. If I wasn't here, you wouldn't have had something to do."

"Hrk!" Ardeo bared his teeth at the other Morph, "What, you want me to write you an invitation or something? I challenged you to a battle, Sparky. One one One, right here." he felt his body temperature rise as he attempted to control his temper. "And if you weren't here, then I'd've..." he dropped everything as he stopped his sentence, turning to cock his head at the two girl, "Heh, I'm sorry. My name's Ardeo, it's a pleasure to meet you guys." he cast a sidestare at Novis, "Not you, though."
==== { Kai } ====
Kai blinked, shuffling off to the side as someone blazed up to him and asked him if he was White. 'Eh?' "I, uhm... Well." he looked down at his hands as if to double-check, and gave a confused look to the stranger, "I believe so..." he scratched his head, "Who're you...?" he added, taking stock of the situation. Yes, he was supposed to be meeting people, but he didn't really expect people to come out of nowhere and ask him his skin color. How odd.

Novis turned back to the Blaziken. "You might want to think about what you said earlier, when you first met me. Parties aren't for battles." He flicked another spark into the air in the shape of a heart, just to remind everyone why they're here. Novis put down his punch again. He turned back to the glass wall, staring out over the ocean. Ignoring everyone around him, he started faintly singing to himself. Alone in a world, With millions of souls, Walking in circles Trapped in their dreams, Unhealthy, unclean, Walking in circles Now, do not disturb Screaming silence Everyone's sleeping

Leah grinned at Ardeo as he aknowledged them, and gave a small wave. "Hello there!" She said, cheerfully. She always did appreciate the boys who weren't idiots.
Vincent blinked. "I meant White, the gym leader running this party?" He had guessed by now this wasn't him, but felt rude leaving to find the person he had really intended to talk to. Plus, for all he knew this could be a gym leader.

Molly smiled and waved back to Ardeo as well, and then became even more frustrated with Novis. "You know, if you'd read the invitation, you'd have seen that it's perfectly fine to have pokemon battles here. We are pokemon trainers, right? It's just something we do." she said calmly, taking another sip of her punch. She watched curiously as someone walked out of the building, but didn't think much about it before thinking impatiently to herself that she would like to see a pokemon battle.
-
Luke blinked, watching as the girl he'd attempted to talk to didn't even acknowledge his existance, and straight up walked away. Feeling somewhat deflated, he wondered if maybe she hadn't even heard him, or maybe it was his appearance. Though, as he looked around, he decided he certainly wasn't the weirdest looking of people there. He glanced around at the people on the dancefloor- one girl was dancing around by herself. (Or, at least, whom Luke thought was a girl.) He continued looking around, noticing the albino Connor and Sulteron, as well as the magnemite Morph, Ardeo, Molly, and Leah. He didn't recognize anyone yet except for Brandon from earlier. He turned around, wondering if he should get himself a bite to eat or something.
-
White had been watching the situation unfold between the trainers at the food tables, but smiled a bit as he saw the magnemite morph help out with some of the lights. He didn't have any electric pokemon 'cept for Lanturn to help with that, and even he was under the guard of the Nidokings, at this point. At least his thoughts were well enough distracted to not be bothered by the greed of his counterpart, trapped inside his head. His ears perked as he thought he heard a familiar word come up in the room- his name? He turned, noticing Vincent and Kai. By the sounds of it, the one going by Vincent was looking for him, or something. He walked over, lifting up a hand in a wave. "I'm White, if that's who you were looking for."

After observing the spat for a small while, Rin was growing bored. It looked as if their wasn't going to be a battle after all. Untill she heard Dmitriy's request.
She shuffled around two other trainers, a girl and boy morph, that looked to be an Espeon and a rather ghastly-looking boy which she couldn't quite put a finger on. She bumped into his shoulder, turned to him just long enough to mutter a quiet "Pardon me," Before making her way to the center.
The gym leader cleared her throat, facing Dmitriy's back. Speaking as loudly and clearly as she could over the others, she announced:
"If it is a battle you're looking for, I'm certainly interested." Rin accepted his challenge. [/center]

Ardeo blinked at Novis, his earlier rage purring contently in his chest, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant a fight." he punched forward a little in the air, to emphasize what he meant without actually putting it into words. "Anyway, this is my buddy Dmitriy." he looked behind himself and blinked as he noticed there was more than Dmitriy behind. "Huh?" he tilted his head at the white person, with shiny red eyes, and the girl that was next to him and his Houndoom friend. "Oh, uh. Hi. I'm, Ardeo..!" he brought back his smile and waved to them as well. More friends. Good stuff.
==== { Kai } ====
"Ooooh. Oh!" he smiled a apologetically. "No, no. Sorry. I'm Kai." he held out his hand, "The Union Tower's, uh. Guy, I guess." he smiled goodnaturedly, before seeing somone else fly out of no where. Wow, people sure are good at doin' that around here...' he thought to himself, casting a greeting smile to White. 'At least this guy found who he was lookin' for...'

Novis answered the Furret without turning away from the window. "I read it. I just don't feel like it."
Realizing he had no other option, he faced the group again and picked up his punch. "Alright, I admit it. There's no way I could beat any of you. I just wanted to liven this place up a bit."
With an invisible smile, he levitated himself above everyone else and floated up toward one of the lights that appeared to be out. He gave it a quick zap and it started working again, and then flashed a few more heart-sparks over the dancefloor.

Luke headed over to where he saw White, Kai, and Vincent. They seemed like an interesting group of people. He heard Kai introduce himself as the Union Tower guy, and blinked. Wow, a lot of different sorts of trainers have come. He glanced over to White, and smiled a bit. Another gym leader. And he was the gym leader here, at Dodger City... he must have been pretty skilled. Luke faintly remembered Eli, a gym leader he'd met back at the Easter Festival. "Hey," he greeted the group of people, trying to seem generally nonchalant about the entire deal. He figured if he couldn't do very well at socializing, there was one thing he could do. "Any of you interested in a battle?"

Kai turned to face the newcomer to the group, he was starting to get a distinct feeling he was a magnet now or something, and smiled. A battle? He hadn't had one of those since... Lots of stuff went down in his last Region. "Hey, I'll take you up on that." he said, turning to face Luke with a grin. It would be nice to see some of the styles they had over here. Besides, the greatest way to say hello was a battle! ( In his opinion at least, that was why he'd gotten the Tower built after all ).

Luke beamed, letting his shoulders drop a bit. He was glad someone had accepted. "Great. One on one then, right here?" he asked, looking over his shoulder as he walked backwards a bit, stopping a little ways away from Kai so they had some room. He thought faintly on what pokemon to use, and then finally decided on Thorne. He certainly wasn't the nicest pokemon in the world, but he had more interesting attacks, and would probably make the battle more interesting. When the Cacturne was released it stood there awkwardly, looking around before turning to Luke. <Hey squirtle-boy, what's all this about?> he asked, clearly confused and frustrated. "It's Blastoise, Thorne. We're having a battle." he responded, knowing it would wake the pokemon up a bit. Perking itself up, Thorne turned around to face Kai, and a grin emerged from underneath his strange, cactus-y hat. He didn't say anything more, and a nervous grin from Luke poked out from a little ways behind Thorne. "Well, this is who I'll be using." he said with a smile, scratching the back of his neck as he wondered what pokemon the other trainer would bring out. The Nidokings turned, clearly curious at why a pokemon had been released, and waited to make sure it was a battle that would be taking place.

Kai grinned, feeling the lift of battle fill him for a moment, before he looked at the Cacturne with a smile. "Right." he reached to his side for the 'Ball that began to wiggle slightly, and unclipped it - feeling it grow bigger before he tossed it, shouting out, "Alright Zonko, let's tear'm apart!" "Zanguu!" the form of a Zangoose was released, who let out a little roar before standing up and letting out his claws. "It was your challenge, so you get first shot." Kai smiled.

A Zangoose! Luke thought to himself with a smile. That was a good match-up. They were the exact same size, and when it came to type, neither had any sort of an advantage. It would be a good battle. The Cacturne was also sizing up his opponent. "Alright then. Thorne, Poison Sting!" Thorne jumped forwards, thrusting out one of his arms, a 'poison sting' shooting out towards Zonko.
-
White watched with interest and took a few steps to the side to avoid getting in the way of their battle, and raised his eyebrows with interest. Both trainers seemed to have pretty decent pokemon. Maybe he'd get some good gym challenges after the party was over. He glanced at Vincent for a moment, wondering what he had wanted with White in the first place.
