Things seemed to have quieted down, well relative to the past while on this tower. If anything Cass was mostly surprised at this turn of events, and wouldn't complain about it. Not one bit. However a large amount of nudging did draw his attention as it was happening where his bag was. His first thought was that Delta was trying to play around with some of his items, but the sandshrew was still next to him. Which could only mean one thing.
[break][break]
"Wait don't tell me!" A smile was on the man's face as he tried he bring his back in front of him, only to be greeted with a bright white light, which kinda blinded the unsuspecting man. "Damn, is it supposed to be this big of a light show when they hatch?" Having to look away for a moment, just to make sure he didn't go blind, but he was drawn back to it;s contents when he heard a small bark of sorts, which wasn't something he expected to hear from an eevee.
[break][break]
He saw a mass of yellow and white, which wasn't really the first thought when it came to the Pokemon he thought that hatched. The answer was more obvious when it raised it's head towards the trainer with a rather pleased look on it's face. Turns out when the Pokemon hatched, it started to play around with some of Caspian's items, one of which ended up being one of his many thunder stones. So this Eevee quickly became an Jolteon.
[break][break]
It took much effort for the guy to hold back a little squeak from how cute it looked, but instead slowly reached in the bag to hold his new addition on his team. All with a smile on his face. "Well, hey there Epsilon." His tone was rather pleasant, as the Jolteon simply let out a small yawn of sorts in response as it adjusted it's self in his arms for a little nap. Sadly the Jolteon was a little bit on the bigger side, but the cipher made an exception as he carried to newly hatched Pokemon as they made their way through the tower.
[break][break]
They didn;t go too far without running into a rather odd Pokemon at this hour. An Misdreavus decided to drop in, and challenged them to a battle. So the silver haired researcher simply looked down at his eager ground type. "All yours buddy. Give 'em hell." The trainer spoke and the pokemon gave a small nodded before squaring off to do battle. Sadly, there was a disadvantae as most of his moves were in-effective, sadly that was a problem with most of his team. So instead there was poison stings and psybeams flying everywhere. All while Caspian was making sure not to get hit, and that his new Pokemon was comfortable in his arms.
[break][break]
This lasted a couple minutes, before the ghost finally fell to the ground, and Delta was the victor. "Good job." A small pat on the head followed by some praise, before the small group continued walking around in search for the store.

"..." Was the appropriate response to what followed, not even words could describe the scenario that happened to unfold a couple steps after that last battle. The cipher's face was straight deadpan, as a man started to freak out when he noticed what Caspian was holding. Yelling out things like "I never saw a Jolteon before!" and "Dudedudedude that issss sooooooo radical!"
[break][break]
Upon closer inspection, it seemed like the guy was foaming at the mouth over this whole thing. Caspian on the other hand made it a point to turn his body to the side, as if to prevent his Jolteon from catching whatever the hell kind of crazy this guy was having. "That's really nice and all. But do you mind like backing off? And by mind, I mean now." His tone was annoyed and serious towards the weird-o.
[break][break]
Surprise, surprise when the maniac took offense, when Cass explicitly told the guy that he was invading his personal space, and was overall creeping him out. Oh no, apparently Caspian was the one at fault her. His mistake.
[break][break]
So out came a Lickitung, which only made even more sense, given the trainer that was using it. So instead Cass thought it was time for him to send out the big guns for this one, and out came his Skarmory, Lambda. "Alright, let's show this bugger the meaning of personal space." His tone was still having hints of annoyance, as he gave orders to his Pokemon.
[break][break]
So away Lambda went, starting with the usual agility in order to make sure he had the speed advantage followed by a swarm of swift crashing down on the pink mass. The normal type did end up curling up defensively to block a portion of the damage, but that was met with a leer from the metal bird. Rendering that buff null and void, so instead to pokemon attempted to get a lick of Lamda, and crash that flying type back to the ground.
[break][break]
Not gonna lie, that kinda surprised both Caspian and his pokemon, but the Skarmory quickly shook it off before the researcher thought it was time to give some orders. "Alright, leer and peck the damn thing." All the while, petting his still sleepy Jolteon, and wondering why this battle was taking so long. It was mainly because the two were about the same level, so it meant for a more balanced fight. However that fair and balanced fight didn't account for a critical hit with Lambda pecking at the Lickitung's stomach.
[break][break]
Caspian and Lambda 1, foamy Trevor and Lickitung 0. With that the maniac let out a large huff before fleeing the scene.

"What is wrong with these people?"

At this point, Caspian was mostly wondering how far was the damn store. That is mainly because the poor guy had battled many different crazy folks and their equally strange pokemon choices. Well at least he is getting some good training, and even managed to hatch his egg and get his glorious Epsilon.
[break][break]
The same Jolteon he was still holding in his arms, but sadly he might have to put the recent member to his team in his pokeball because his arms was getting tired because apparently Jolteons were a little bit heavier then he though. The electric type would get a chance to stretch it's legs in his office at least.
[break][break]
Thankfully he was getting close to the place, so he can finally get his smokes and leave this tower. For once, Caspian would much rather the labs then this place, at least then he could boss the interns instead of dealing with these morons. A much better experience then over in this knack of the woods.
[break][break]
It was only a close walk away, because he remembered this part of the tower. So close to sweet freedom! You should have seen the guy's face when he actually came to it's entrance. Followed by a rather joy filled march to the front desk. "Hey, you got my smokes?" Thankfully after being an usual customer he didn't have to deal with with most of the crap when it came to special orders. Sadly his rather smug grin faded when the clerk shook his head, "Sorry man, someone already picked it up. A guy with a whole head of green got them."
[break][break]
Endric, you bloody sly devil you. Took the whole stock from under his nose, had to be him. Not unless Archer grew some moss on his head or something, sadly as funny as that would be, might not be the case. The guy got them to probably get Cass to do some favors for him, that or maybe get him to work and pick up on some of the Admin duties. Either way, the cipher wasn't pleased, as evident by him slowly shuffling his feet out of the store.
[break][break]
So many curses could be heard from the guy, mainly from the amount of crap he had to do to get up here, and without even his smokes as a prize. In a fit of anger, he kicked a garbage bin, which apparently had something in it judging from the small groan coming from the thing. What came out made the man raise a brow. It was a sableye first of all, which was weird enough on it's own but it's color was the real confusing factor. "What the? You aren't supposed to be yellow..." Cass muttered to himself before sending out Delta to battle it.
[break][break]
Now Caspian wasn't one to capture a sableye, but this was clearly a special case. Not everyday one comes across a shiny colored pokemon so he might as well get a final prize for today. The only problem was that since it was ghost type most of the attacks wouldn't have an effect so the sandshrew had to deal with using poison sting and magnitude to defeat this dumpster pokemon.
[break][break]
The battle wasn't really that important enough to talk about, mainly because Caspian was still moping about his lack of smokes at the end of his journey so most of the battle was a blur. He did remember the Sableye throwing a couple zen headbutts and night shades, but Delta countered with sand attacks and poison stings, ending it all off with a small magnitude and lightly throwing a ball at the pokemon, before figuring out how he was going to leave this stupid place while avoiding anymore disappointment.
[break][break]
"You know the window seems like a viable option..."The man let out a sigh as he actually contemplated on jumping out the window of the tower and just using Lambda to fly back to the base. It was too tempting, because screw this place.
