Yes, Jolt answered back, snuggling into her. He actually found something he liked more than battling.
Cyan smiled. "Ali," he repeated. "I like it. Fits you. Makes me wish I had a real name to share," he said, chuckling lightly. He glanced up, seeing quite a sight. Jolt and Espeon were getting along nicely, Scar had taken to Stunky, though mostly surveying the other Pokemon, and Buzz was jokingly striking poses in front of Bastiodon.
He laughed. "Looks like they're all getting along well."

Espeon closed her eyes, letting her tail brush against his lightly. Your human works for mine now... She murmured, That means we'll get to see each other more. I'm happy.
Ali beamed again, her attitude brighter now that she had eaten, and managed to recruit another person into Mewtwo's mafia. Granted, she wasn't sure if Cyan knew he was getting involved with a mafia, but she knew he would figure it out. He was a smart guy.
"Well," she said, in response to the first part of his comment, "I could always call you Cy. Cuz, y'know, I like it. And it's short, and different from Cyan. Or we could go with Robert, but I don't like Robert that much, and you just don't seem like a Robert. So Cy is it." She nodded her head once, before her Pokemon distracted her.
Bastiodon, the poor idiot that he was, was just watching Buzz strike pose after pose in front of him, until he finally reached out and nudged the electric type Pokemon with his giant head, a form of Hello. Orange had to stifle a giggle at the sight, though it turned into a snort upon seeing Stunky. The only shiny in Ali's group was eyeing Scar, as if wondering if she could approach him without being smacked. The poor dear.
And... where was Lugia?
"Lu?" She called out, glancing around for the baby legendary. At first, Lugia did not answer, and Ali's heart started to pound. But then Lugia let out a gentle cry, and Ali realized he was underneath the table, curled up at her feet. It made her smile. "There you are..."

That's great. Makes me happy too, he murmured happily. He placed a paw on hers.
What he got into sounded very mafia-like, but he didn't care. If it meant not having to scrape by from day to day, then it made him happy. "Cy...I like it. Robert...uh..not so much. I think one of my foster homes called me Robert once..." He shuddered jokingly.
Scar smiled, shaking his head. He sort of twitched his ears happily as if to say 'I won't hurt you.'
Flare woke up from the commotion, and made his way over to the baby Lugia. He made a noise not unlike a giggle.
Buzzkill stepped back, then patted Batsy's head, as if saying hi back.

Espeon purred again. It was almost as if she couldn't stop purring, not when she was with Jolteon. It had been a long time since she had felt this happy, this carefree. She was always happy, yes; her trainer took very good care of her. But she had never felt this sort of happy. And it made her feel nice.
Orange grinned, "Hey. Don't worry about it. I won't call ya Robert if it offends you that badly. I mean, I don't even like the name, m'self." She gave him a wink, then turned to look at her Pokemon again. A gentle smile curved the corners of her lips.
Stunky's tail twitched, and the purple skunk tilted her head to the side. She then twitched her tail again, a motion for him to come over to her. She was willing to give it a shot, if only for her trainer.
Lugia giggled back, a bird-like chirp quickly following out. He flapped his wings, lifting off of the ground for a moment, before settling back before Flare. It had been a while since he'd met another child Pokemon.
Batsy let out a loud, rather stupid-sounding laugh. He then fell to the floor, so he was laying down, and wagged his short, stubby tail.

"I was joking. But yeah I hate it too." He smiled. This was turning out rather nicely.
Jolt stayed where he was, snuggling Espy as he too made sounds similar to a purr. He'd never felt this way before; it made him happier than he could have ever imagined. Cyan made him happy, sure; very happy, but this was different.
Scar carefully made his way over to the Stunky, not wanting to scare her in any way. His good ear twitched.
Magby smiled, not used to being with another young one, the others were adults.
Buzz laughed, and sat down, leaning back against Basty. Not rude, in a friendly way. He was showing respect the only way he knew how.

"We all have that one part of our name we hate, even if it's not a real name. I hate how no one can seem to pronoune my name right. My sister's middle name is Spidurah. And she hates spiders." Orange grinned; that part of her sister's name had always amused her.
The others are getting along well, Espeon noticed, despite not opening her eyes. She could sense the positive emotions of all her teammates, and was enjoying them. Their emotions mixed with her own were nearly euphoric.
Stunky tapped her tail onto the ground, a signal that he could approach her. She was doing all right, much better than she had thought she would. Out of all the other Pokemon, she was the most shy, despite Ali's best efforts to break her of that.
Lugia reached over, bopping his forehead against Magby's. His tail wagged.
Basty thuimped his tail against the ground again, a happy, grunting sound coming from deep in his throat. He may not have been the brightest crayon in the box full of black crayons, but he knew when he had found a friend.

That's great... he answered dreamily. He was lost in the moment, stubby 'tail' wagging with sheer bliss.
"I guess so," he said with a laugh. "But I like Cy. Kind of represents a new chapter of my life." He brushed his hair to the side with his hand.
Scar came over, ear twitching. The wound on his chest was still there, but healing. He playfully rubbed against Stunky. It hurt a little, but he didn't care; Scar wanted to play too.
Magby laughed and returned the favor. It was nice to have another child to play with.
Buzz closed his eyes comfortably. He'd found a friend, though in the back of his mind, he still wanted at least a sparing match.

Espeon smiled.
"I do it. Like it, I mean." Orange nodded her head once, twice. Her eyes were warm, especially when she turned from the Pokemon to him. "It's a nickname, man. It's supposed to sound like you, without actually being your name. And sometimes it fits you better."
Stunky gave a quiet, approving grunt. She rubbed her head against his, then nodded towards the floor. He could sit next to her, if he wanted. She was comfortable enough now.
Lugia circled around Magby, wrapping his tail and his neck around him. His wings fluttered happily.
Bastiodon nudged Buzz. We play later. he said, as if he could read Buzz's mind. Which, if Espeon was helping, he could possibly do.

Jolt closed his eyes, lying down, but not leaving Espy for a second.
"Hey, cut some slack," he teased. "I've had a nickname before. Much less a friend who'd actually use it." The last part slipped out, and was more serious. She really was his only friend, the only other one he had was the old man. Though the man was who got him started with the name Cyan...
Scar sat down, relaxing. Maybe it was best if he just rested, anyway.
Flare laughed, wrapping his short arms around Lu.
Buzz grunted with approval. Play later. Fun, he answered happily.

By now, the Pokemon on Orange's team were content. Espeon wasn't willing to leave Jolt, as she rested beside him, while Stunky was still getting used to having a strange Pokemon near her. But she was all right. Bastiodon, much like Lugia, was having a blast with his new friend. Especially considering they were going to play later. That would be fun.
"Well you've got one now." Orange said, nodding her head once, twice. "Cyan has become Cy, with a new job and a new way of life. I'm sure Mewtwo will be delighted to have you workin' with us."
