"I would like to challenge the gym, yes, but I have not had any luck in getting the require tokens in order to challenge him. I might just might have to pass on challenging the Leader if I can't manage to get ahold of one," Ventus said to Shiva, a little bit frustrated he had not managed to acquire one of the Carney Coins. He's not too please with with a barrier to entry, but he supposed that if their wasn't one Zamboni would be swarmed by challengers from all over the world.

'What better way to stem the flow of challengers than having a semi-random queuing system in place. Frustrating to manage, perhaps, but its much better than hosting challenger around the clock,' Ventus resignedly thought to himself, before an idea popped into his head. Well, while he isn't that well known in Cheshire, he is friends with Dr. Mallorn, so perhaps he can arrange a battle for research purposes? 'Well, it wouldn't hurt to try it, if I can't get a coin.'

As he heard the good news about Plusle and Miltank, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was glad that his shoddy treatment and medical care was enough to keep both of the stable until real Pokémon Doctors could help, so that was a weight off his shoulders. "That is good news to hear indeed! Its a relief to know that the mouse is going to make a full recovery, and so soon!" the researcher said, not so subtly conveying his own elation on the matter.

When Shiva ask him what he wanted to do during the festival, he mulled it over in his head, before saying to her "Well, we can certainly try the attractions, and go shopping for poffin making supplies. We already have the berries, so all we need is the right baking mix, some eggs, and milk. There is also the event when a Sawsbuck is going to change its seasonal coat, so that sounds quite interesting to participate in! I was planning on going to it alone, but if you would like, we can go and enjoy the even together," Ventus said, taking a small breath as he finished rattling off the things they could do. There was quite the variety of things they could do together at festival, or at least that is what he can extrapolate from his light breathlessness.

Just as he was about to offer they go out together, though, the Gardener bursted in and hailed his mercenary for a task. Something about retrieving a hat? Glancing over to Valdar, he told him "Well, while I have hired you indefinitely, you can still pursue other job opportunity at your own discretion. Just make sure to give me a report of your activities after you are done, or tell me if the task is particularly dangerous. Long Term Assignment are forbidden, though: You are working for me now, after all."

When the flower tender brought up a blockade of Combee, Ventus eyebrows shot up in astonishment. 'Combee don't make that short of gathering in a town, as they are content collecting pollen in flower field. ...Unless there is a Vespiqueen leading them, and trying to make a colony,' Ventus thought, his smile now gone and replaced with a slight frown. Walking over to the man, he asked him "Good sir, would you said that a colony of Combee causing trouble in town? Would you mind giving me direction to where Zamboni's assault squad is, as I would be very interested in solving this problem before it gets even more out of hand?"

(I want to engage at the Combee colony. Its good money and experience, and it sounds like something exciting will happen!)
