'Hmmm...a combee oubreak and a missing hat...well, what to do...' While Nathan wants to check out the festival, he knew combee were dangerous in large groups. It wasn't quite the season for their honey gathering yet, though...particularly if they're in the town itself. "Ventus, I'm coming with you. Combee are way too dangerous in large groups to leave the issue alone. You up for singing some bugs, Swiftfire?"
And just like that, plans changed. He'd have time for the festival later. And who knows? Maybe that swarm has the hat, too.
"The more the merrier, I say! With Swiftfire, we might just persuade those bees to relocate elsewhere...unless they like playing with fire, that is. Let us go!" With that being said, Ventus swiftly departed towards the location of the Combee blockade, with Nathan in following him closely. Times ticking, and the longer the angry bees are allowed to linger, the higher chance someone's going to get hurt...or much, much worse. 'Anaphylactic Shock is a real thing. How many people are allergic to bee stings? ...We need to clear those Combees ASAP.'
Larry decides to come after the bees too, so we're just waiting to see if Valder accepts. Spade gives you the details on when and where the posse is gathering. You heard that not many people had shown up, since most of them came here loaded with dough and ready to party.
Shiva encounters a trainer, Nestor, who wants to battle a Fairy type, which is hard to find. Nestor has a rare Pokemon himself: the adorable Dratini. He agrees to battle for a $100 pot.
Initiatives:
Cottonee: 2 Dex + 1 Survival + 1d6 (6) = 9
Dratini: 2 Dex + 0 Survival + (2) = 4
Nestor clears the Shuckleball crowd off one of the grassy battlefields so the two of you can battle. The nearest Nurse Joy shows up to make sure you know what you're doing, which you do, and to make sure you know where she can be found.
A small crowd gathers when the previous Shuckleball game ends.
The opening move is yours.
(to Shiva) "Seems like you're quite good at as well" Valder said as he looked at the fluffball in her arms.
 (to Nathan) "Okay, mind if I call you Nate? And don't worry, I'm not up to anything" Valder still disliked Nathan a bit, but decided that if he wanted to travel with these kids (what he calls you all in his head) he might want to earn a bit of trust, maybe not a lot, but a little could make things a lot easier.
---------------------
 (to the... man.)
 After thinking for two loooong minutes, Valder concludes that there's no reason to decline such a good offer.
 "Yes, my man. I'll look for the hat, and I might even find it" Valder gave a knowing smile. "But, before I go off chacing the wind, I'd like to know of any more info you can give me on where the combees took your hat".
 'I guess I'll go with the others, seeing that that's where the Combees are at, so possibly his hat... if this guy doesn't have any other information of course'.
Larry saw Valder tagged along with them "hmm I guess he is joining this circus?" Larry thought to him self as he walked on over to him. "sup" Larry said as he stopped to think of what to say after that, Larry looked quite confused "what do I say!" Larry thought as he rush these words out of his mouth "hi im Larry nice to meet you I see your joining us on our trip that's great you lucky you joined after we parted with the RV you wouldn't have liked it in there it was hot and cramped in there" as Larry inhales "CRAP! I did it again!" Larry thought to him self as he hoped Valder wouldn't think the same of him as everyone else.
"sorry for that." Larry said feeling embarrassed "I have a tendency of doing that when I haven't talked to a person before, im also like this around a girl so you'll see more of this in the future." Larry said as he sighed "she has the most beautiful blue eyes an..." Larry pauses "oops hehehe sorry for that to uh... whats your name?" Larry asks
META: this really is what im going for in Larry a bit of awkwardness to his characteristics and he over shares A LOT

 Valder looked at Larry awkwardly, then gave a nonchalant nod. "I'm Valder. So you're the kid that was runnin' around the festival?"
 Valder didn't really mind Larry's disoriented social skills, Valder wasn't exactly the judge when it came to good talking.
 "So, you're also a trainer? or maybe a breeder like... eh, what was her name? Eva?"

Larry sighed In relief "well Valder nice to meet you" Larry said, as he was walking Ekans let him self out of his ball "uh... Ekans what are you doing? Get back in your ball" Larry said as he returned the ekans back in to its pokeball (when Valder talks about shiva) "oh yeah... I'm a... Breeder and a trainer I guess... But my cousin wants me to be a coordinator like her so I'm not sure yet. Oh and its shiva not Eva but don't worry I get vetus and Vincent mixed up all the time" Larry then told Valder "when I was talking about a girl its a crush I have and had for a year so I will talk about her alot on this trip, and here's something I rarely talk to her so I don't think I'll get anywhere with this if I keep it up" Larry said as they where looking for a hat and some combee
Nathan's response to Valder's shortening of his name is ice cold. "Please don't call me Nate. Only a select few people get the privilege of calling me that, and that's a VERY small list. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something I need to check before heading over to those combee..."
Before heading out to where the bees are, Nathan wanders over to the parked RVs real quick after assuring Ventus he'll meet everyone at the appointed meeting location. "Hey, Geodude! You still around here, buddy? We could use your help again!"
Nestor/Dragonfairy Battle Round 1
Shiva hasn't moved far from the Pokemon Center, as this guy approached her. She was concerned about that at first, but reliefed as he introduced himself as Nestor - what a rare yet melodic name! - and asked whether that Cottonee floating beside her was hers in a calm and not-aggressive voice. After a confirmation followed the question if she's up for battle. Looks like here's the desired practical course about the science of Boost-moves, served on a silver platter...
As he sent out a Dratini, she was confused for a moment. Sending in a Dragon Type against her fluffball? He must have a good reason or a good strategie... This could be indeed interesting.
"You know the plan, dear cotton ball. Boost up."
Orders for this round: Boosting up with Growth, as planned.
Effect: Raising Stenght by 1.
Secondary Effect: More fluff?
Accuracy Roll: 1 Strenght Dexterity at that point + 1 Survival + 0 Nature = 2 dice (?)
Additonal notes: We're on a grassy field in the afternoon. Is this worth a point in Nature?
