Quilla Pov~
Quilla chuckled merrily watching in amusement as Tailgate lept from her arms and pounced onto the Buneary. Rushing over, Quilla flicked Tailgate's forehead playfully and pouted, then with a sing-songy voice she berated;
"Stealing another person's capture is detestable ya know~?"
Seeing as Tailgate had already done most of the work the only thing left was to pocket the wild Pokemon.
"Ignyx, trap it with Fire Spin!"
Ignyx snorted with displeasure, upset that Tailgate had snatched its first opportunity for battle, but still complied, whipping up a ring of flames that surrounded the Buneary. Quilla stared at the Buneary, slowly licking her lips. The look she gave was akin to a starved man who'd just been offered a feast fit for the kings of old.
Fetching a Pokeball from her waist she sailed the object through the wall of flames. The now slightly singed Pokeball collided with the Buneary's head before it devoured the petite rabbit. The Pokeball fell to the ground and nestled within a patch of burnt grass, shuddering thrice before ceasing, and Quilla, noticeably overly-excited rushed over and snatched the ball from the ground. She made a brilliant display of juggling the still hot object between her hands before managing to clip it to her waist.
"Let's name you Lu Yu."
She trailed her fingers around the contours of the Pokeball, feeling utter contentment.

Claire POV~
Claire yawned, she lay sprawled quite snugly onto Luxray's back, her chin resting on her intertwined fingers which in turn found themselves in a comfy position within Luxray's abyss-black main of fur. The duo of Claire and Shan swaggered down the hallways of the Auralian order, though it was more of Luxray swaggering and Claire hitching a ride. They weren't heading anywhere in particular, just sauntering about to pass the time; something Claire found herself doing quite frequently as of late. For some reason, a reason which she might've remembered had she paid any attention to their earlier debriefing, almost the entire order was confined to the confines of their deary base. The restriction order left her feeling just as she looked, lethargic and bored half-way to death, and she took it upon herself to go out 'patrolling' hoping to find something capable of fixing either of those two problems. Her fingers traced her lips as she thought mischievously,
'You'd be surprised the gossip that makes its way through the ranks of a criminal syndicate.'

Qin POV~
While absentmindedly trotting through the undergrowth, partially preoccupied with the diagram Storm had drawn and thoughts of which Pokemon he should catch next, Qin was intrigued as his vision floated by a trio of leaves that appeared rather pale and discolored. The rather odd scene of a continuous green forest being broken by a blob of green a few hundred shades lighter managed to peak Qin's interest.
His fingers gliding across his belt and his holster of Pokeballs, Qin watched intently before recognizing the leafy patch as the topside of a Petilil. Upon even closer inspection Qin realized the paleness of the leaves were due to the Pokemon's injured state as its entire body seemed to radiate waifish feableness. Sighing gently, loosening the tension in his arms and letting them sink to his sides Qin walked up to the Petilil and carefully plucked it up, craddling it within his arms.
"I guess it's your lucky day. I've been looking for a new Pokemon, and you'll be an excellent addition once you're nursed back to full health."
The Petilil whimpered in agony, but its eyes held a soft silky determination.
"I've heard even veteran trainers struggle to let Lilligants bloom..."
Qin trailed off, a hint of contempt creeping into his voice
"Don't worry, you'll bloom magnificently...Dahlia...."
Qin repeated the name under his breath, letting it roll off his tongue, savoring each syllable and attaching to it the tone and charm befitting it. He concluded it was a beautiful name, the Dahlia represented elegance and dignity, and he would certainly foster Dahlia to be the ideal representation of her namesake.
