"Kir-ia la lia kirlia." {Some gray thing they call ItemFinder} Mint gave a grin to the little blue electric type. "La la i kirlia, kir kir laia."{I have no idea what it does, but it's been fun playing with it.} The little psychic ballerina twirled the thing in midair, turning it upside down. It gives off a faint blue glow from her psychic abilities.
"Hoenn is a good place to explore. It has some history to it- and sometimes history has mystery... and mystery equals ADVENTURE!!!" Kimiko got really excited now, but then calmed down a bit, hoping not to have scared off her companions. "Eh heh, sorry. I said I came back to Lilycove to relax, right?"

Dirk chuckled. "Apparently you did, but you're not too convincing."
Dirk stops for a moment. Something Kimiko said piques his interest. "Say, what are these 'pokemon contests' you keep talking about?"

"Shinyah!" {Wow!} Raia exclaimed. "Shishi shin shi? Shi shin shinx shinnah!?" {Can you eat it? Does it taste good!?} Raia asked showing her fangs and smiling at the dancing psychic type.
"Pokemon Contest? Have I ever heard of anything like that?" Ahz thought aloud. "Do you mean the Pokemon League competition?" He asked with a blank stare. "I think I watched something about that on a television program once."

"Kirla, iala." {Hmm, I dunno.} Mint looked thoughtful for a moment as she lowered the ItemFinder to Kirlian eye level. She examined it, taking care to rotate it slowly. "Kirlai la lalaia..." {It sure doesn't look edible...} She then wondered what would the weird, gray round object taste like.
"Pokemon contests are different from the Pokemon league where you go around battling leaders and collecting badges. Pokemon contests are the chance to show off your Pokemon with brilliant appeals, finesse, and style. And if you win you get a very spiffy ribbon!" Kimiko was doing hand gestures and poses as she was saying this in an exciting way. But she faltered when she said this, "Yet... I've never the skill or fortune to win such a spiffy looking ribbon..." Her mood swung to cheerful again. "But that doesn't matter! The crowd wins every time when we put on a magnificent show!"

Richard stepped off the boat with a stern-looking Wing on his shoulder. The starly huffed fiercely as she surveyed the area. Seeing all the happy people and their happy pokemon made her want to go into action right away.
"Easy, Wing, easy." Richard said coyly, holding the small bird steady. "We need to buy our time and plan the right moves."
He looked over at the large shopping mall and the contest hall. "First we'll do some 'shopping' and then we'll check out the contests. Does that sound like fun?"
The bird cooed, showing her agreement.
"Good. I'm sure Charcolt will enjoy the mall too." He said as he began walking towards the giant store.

Dirk tried to listen to Kimiko's rapid-fire energetic description of contests, but didn't quite follow all of that. "Um... hm... honestly, doesn't sound like my cup of tea," he admitted. He then awkwardly surveyed the beach; he caught sight of a shadowy figure making its way to town, but ignored it.
"I'm thinking about going up to town soon myself... I've just about given up on searching the beach," he says this with a disappointed frown. "Hey, uh... where's my ItemFinder, anyway?"

"C-crowd?" The thought sent shivers down his spine. 'Next thing she'll tell me is there's an event that puts my head on a chopping block.' Ahz thought grimacing.
"I myself, have no interest in joining such things but I would certainly cheer for you if you entered the competition Kimiko-chan," Ahz said attempting a polite smile.
Raia got up on her hind legs and tried to sniff at the 'ItemFinder' but all she could smell was the electricity coming from it. "Shi shinx shin shi shin inyah," {It doesn't really smell like most food.} she said sitting back down. "Shiiina shi shinx shi inx shinna shinx..." {Still I think it might taste ok...}

She sighed at the guys' reactions. "Eh, contests aren't for everyone, I guess..."
Mint looked at Raia and then at the gray object. "Kir~la?" {Really?} She leaned in for a small lick, and made a gagging face. "La! Kirlaia. La kir kir..." {Yuck! Plastic. Sooo not food...}
"Umm..." Kimiko searched the beach with her eyes for Mint. She couldn't have gotten far, that little rascal.
Mint had went back to twirling an object into the air, a few yards away from Kimiko's current standpoint. It was a small, gray object with a green LED screen, and a small antenna sticking out of it. She seemed to be having a blast maneuvering it around in the air, showing it off to the little Shinx front front of her.
"...Is your ItemFinder the object Mint is playing with right now?"

"There it is," Dirk says, "Kimiko, can you get your pokemon to give it back?"

"Ah, okay..." Kimiko walked up to the Kirlia and asked, "Mint would you be so kind as to give back the ItemFinder to Dirk?"
"Kirlaaa..." {Awww...} Mint stopped twirling it in the air and let it settle into her arms. "Kirla kir~ la?"{Do I haaave to?} She looked at the girl trainer with pleading eyes. She wasn't done with the inedible gray thing and still wanted to find out the function.
"Yes, my precious Kirlia, you have to give it back. It doesn't belong to you." Mint made a face. "C'mon. I'll take you shopping after this." Kimiko bargained. "I know how much you like looking at all the baubles on sale at the mall."
Mint weighed the options. //Hold onto the nasty tasting gray thing, or go to the mall and look at stuff more colorful and maybe even tastier?//
"Kirlaia, kirla." {You can have it back, mister.} Mint walked back to the tall explorer guy[Dirk] and offered the pre-licked device to him.

Dirk takes it gingerly, not too comfortable with its apparent lickedness. "You were about to head up to town, too? That's good. You can come up with me."
Dirk makes his way toward some stairs at the beach's edge, placing the ItemFinder in his coat, brushing his hand along the amber in his pocket in the process. Hm, I'd nearly forgotten Kimiko found that for me. I feel like I owe her one...

Dirk Illinois, explorer extraordinaire, was on the beach as well, but not really near Kimiko's "secret spot." No, Dirk was searching the beach, with his trusty ItemFinder and rhyhorn, for buried treasure. Kimiko looks at Rhyhorn and called out to the explorer, "Aren't you forgetting something, Dirk?"

"Hmuh?" Dirk twists around to find rhyhorn galloping his way. "You mean rhyhorn? He... he knows to follow me around on his own. He gets very nervous when I'm not around."
He pats the rhino on the head as it skids to a halt beside him. "Don't you, buddy? Hm?" Rhyhorn just gives him a stoic look.
"Now, as I was saying... off to the city!"

Ahz walked over and knelt down to talk to the shinx. "Raia? Don't tell you were thinking of biting that thing... Didn't I tell you electronics are not food," He scolded. "Seems our new associates are going up to town... So perhaps we should fallow, and get you something to eat eh?" Ahz said giving the little blue feline a soft scratch behind the ears. "shi shin!" she responded happily and licked Ahz's hand.
"You two wouldn't mind my shinx and I tagging along would you?" Ahz asked standing up and turning to look at the other two.

"Of course not!" Dirk says this with a wave while his back is turned, already well on his way there.
