Keni: "I'm just not very good at drafting cards for practical purposes. That's just not how art works. Perhaps, as a Contest performer, you understand that in some way."


Using Sari is a fantastic idea for a Kimono Girls contest. She's the ultimate trophy Pokemon. The only downside is that she's a little slow, but you manage to find dance styles that fit with her speed. The crowd for Sari is far bigger than that for Milotic, and that's saying something.
+1/+1 Happiness/Loyalty.


Jerry: "I can use that Mega Stone in research, so I would love to have it back, friend. Heracross, help set the cornerstones. Ledian, you gals are on transport duty. Kricketune, you'll be mixing the concrete. Crustle, provide him with gravel and sand, please. Golisopod, water." Your other hires also have the tools to get this lab in operation ASAP. Though the fine amenities will take longer, you'll have a basic structure by tomorrow thanks to how fast these Pokemon can work.

That explanation is immediately comprehensible to the mountain of a man, with him looking a bit caught off guard by that before he nodded to the art master. "Ah. I understand. Artists have.....different ways of making their works. Make great art is some ways, but not in all.  Own....unique style. Can try to.....create designs outside of their style, but it is harder for them, or art they make not as good. Both, sometimes. Same way with Contest Performers. Each of us have different Categories we......excel in, and do poorly in others. *Nods* True for their partners too. Have to keep in mind what you and your Pokemon are good at doing and how, and discover right method for each and all of them. *Shakes Head* Fail to Perform best of ability otherwise.

"*Bows* Thank you for helping teach me this, Keni. *Frowns* .....And I'm sorry for forcing you to make art in......ways you not comfortable in. Promise not to again. Sorry sir....."

Since you didn't elaborate on Terra's helping out with Cress' reconstruction, I imagine it just went along swimmingly well, with Angie making a new friend in her fellow Dunseraph as she playfully and Gracefully cleared away the rubble around the city with well placed Iron Tails and strategic uses of Dig, while the sagely monk ended up creating an ultra nutritious and delicious chill that satisfies the worker's appetites and gets them a-working twice as hard!

Nice! Only 1 Loyalty away from her to head his commands in most circumstances and fully respecting him, but for now I imagine she's starting to reconsider her stance on the oversized monkey she deigns to listen to on occasion when the right mood strikes her! I imagine that Terra would instruct her on how to regally waltz around the stage as she conjures forth her queenly powers on whatever Eeveelution that got (un)lucky enough to be her target practice Performance partner!

Terra would make sure to stay after the ceremonial battle to meet with the crowds of people and encourage them to attend future Tea Ceremonies (as well as mentioning he'd participate in future ceremonial battles), sign any autographs that are asked of him (and try to get Sari to do her 'autograph' too if they ask for hers, after explaining the concept to her), and generally present the image of a Tough, stoic, but ultimately friendly and personable man!

Considering that Heart still has Jerry's Mega Stone (because I don't think they ever gave it back to Terra after they were done with it), the steely brawler will hand over his own for the Bug Master to use in his own research until he can get their's back from the pun lover and can Trade for his back. He's principled like that, and unlike most he was not particularly covetous or desiring of the power Mega Evolution, as he and his Pokemon were generally strong enough on their own with or without it not to miss its loss!

If Terra's lab has to be constructed wholesale, he'll leave the general design of it in Jerry's and his most architecturally competent researchers to build it the most optimal, efficient, and right way, as he himself is no architect nor building designer, and make two last trips around Cheshire for the day with Angie (Depositing Genie to rest in the PC and swapping in Tommy the Meowth while in Stair) to Botanville and Tumbleweed. The first because he wants to check in on the SCIENCE! progress with the plant he gave to that researcher waaaaay back and see what in the up and up in the Pokemon research scene, and the later to meet up with the Gym Leader as they requested (he'd texted to the group he was going to do so too, so they have the chance to join him if they want).

Also, now that I think of it, while Terra was in Stair he'd check out how (badly) Almanac's doing there, and see if there's any of their stuff (be it products, research, or business assets/property) is up for grabs for his laboratory or own general use. If it's possible, he'd also go visit Dagney and ask if any of the equipmen/research data in the cliff side Almanac/Scimitar Base Labs is available for acquisition/purchase , as the tech and/or resources they had would do wonders for setting his own base of operations up, doing his best to avoid Ventus (who he knows works there with the Steel Wonder) in the process. A good businessman is always looking for opportunities to expand and grow in the market, and one way of doing so is hoovering up the remains of the competition and put them to good use!
