Bella and Sherlock sit on the lake beach for much of the rest of the day, chatting about this and that, until it is dinnertime. Bella has not a bit of self-consciousness about taking him up on his dinner invitation.

Sherlock makes dinner.

Sherlock is a very good cook.
Permalink

Bella is effusive in her compliments, and she lets out Zag to give him small tastes of each dish on top of his daily Pokéchow, and he is likewise enthused.

Permalink

It's terribly cute.

Permalink

"Since Irene knows Rest, she could be up and at'em in a minute if she wants a go against Juu or Branch," Bella comments.

Permalink

"True," says Sherlock. "I will consult her after dinner."

Permalink

Bella grins. And noms.

Permalink

Irene, when consulted after dinner, affirms that she would love another round.

Permalink

"Got a preference between Branch and Juu?" asks Bella, producing the Pokéballs containing each.

Permalink
"We do not," says Sherlock.

"Aiiiiiiiir," says Irene.
Permalink

Juu it is. Juu doesn't require an explanation for what she's doing here. She just wants to fight.

Permalink

Funny thing, so does Irene!

Permalink
It's very close.

Juu's strategy relies on precisely aimed hits, though, and while she's got a helpful lens item, she doesn't get lucky today. She passes out in the end, before landing the punch that would have let her heal.
Permalink
Irene coos triumphantly.

And then she begins to glow.

Sherlock grins.
Permalink

Bella returns Juu and applauds.

Permalink
When Irene ceases to glow, she is taller and more orange. Also, she has wings.

"Dragonite," she says smugly.

Sherlock hugs her.
Permalink

"Spiffy," says Bella, beaming. "Congratulations!"

Permalink
He beams.

"And now to adjust your moveset," he says, petting her, "assuming you don't object."

"Draaaaaaagon," says Irene.
Permalink

Ace beams. "Thank you, I really do appreciate it."

Permalink
"You are very welcome."

And off they go.
Permalink

Bella tags along to supervise, unless someone objects.

Permalink

Bella is welcome to watch Sherlock consult the tower's Move Machine collection, select the HM for Dive, and administer it to his newly evolved Dragonite.

Permalink

"You want to head for the lake right now or wait till tomorrow?"

Permalink

"Your project is a fascinating one but I do not think it is especially urgent. We may as well wait until tomorrow when we are all well rested and have the whole day ahead of us."

Permalink
"Sounds like a plan," says Bella. "I think I'll go raid your library again." Up the stairs she goes.

She is up bright and early the next day.
Permalink

So is Sherlock!
