When Dusk saw Cole she rushed over to him. "How bad was it this time?"
"Only seven stitches this time, and it only took five minutes for me to convince them that Weavile Wasn't trying to attack me."
"You're such a idiot...well that boat is going to leave soon so we should-"
"About that, you see, I only had enough money for two rooms, but after the bill for fixing my hand, I only have enough for one."
"Arceus, I'll pay for the rest, how much could you be short, two or three hundred?"
"Well, it would be that much, but when I passed the gift shop, I couldn't help but pick up a little something for Candice." Cole said before pulling a necklace out of his pocket.
"I-Is that diamond?!"
"No it's NeverMeltIce."
"You give the lamest gifts, alright so how much could that have cost, five or six hundred?"
"The first one...times ten."
"Five thousand! You spent five thousand on a piece of stupid ice! Not only are you bad at picking presents but you have no idea what things are worth!"
"Come on, this a great present for some one who uses ice type Pokemon."
"Alright, I'll chip in a thousand that's all I got."
"Is there a problem here?" Neven asked as he walked up to Cole and Dusk.
"Yeah, I'm short on money for our cabins on the ship, so would you mind helping pay for it?"
"Sure, I've got five, will that be enough?"
"That would have been funnier if you opened your wallet and a Venomoth flew out but, seriously how much do you have?"
"I am being serious, I spent all my money on grooming products for Deino, it's very hard to keep his fur in place you know. How much do you need?"
"Four thousand, do you think Kate has that much?"
"I'm not sure, when I organized her purse I didn't check to she how much money she had."
"...Why were you-never-mind, let's just ask her."
Cole, Dusk an Neven walked over to the table that Kate had just set her food on and sat down with her. "Hey guy's, what's up?"
"I'm short by four thousand for the rooms on the ship, do you have that much?"
"Nope, I spent the rest of my money on my food here."
"Kate this is your third serving, don't you think you've had enough?" Dusk asked.
"No, they have a lot of good food her, and as chef it is my duty to test it so that I can understand why it taste so good!"
"That's it then, it's going to take weeks for me to earn that much...wait a minute, Candice!" Cole shot up from his seat and ran to find a phone.
"It's about time, I was going to say something if he didn't ask soon." Dusk said with her arms crossed.
"Hello...hi Candice! Um, listen, I wanted to surprise you but, I'm coming to visit you...yeah I'm excited, too, but, listen I don't have enough money anymore. So-what happened? Um, I tried to high five Weavile...yeah, again...yes I know I'm an idiot. Anyways, my friend's offered to help pay but, after I got you a gift what they had wasn't enough...yes I know I'm the sweetest. So I was wondering if it would be okay if, um," Cole then started to whisper into the phone and waited for answer to his question. "Thanks, you're the best!" Cole yelled when he got his answer. He then hung up the phone and walked back to the others.
"So, is she going to wire you some money?" Dusk asked.
"What? No I could never borrow money from her, I just asked if would be okay if it was okay if I shared a room with you and Kate, since I didn't want her to think I tried anything later, and after she finished laughing she said it was fine."
"...let's just get on the boat." Dusk said before walking off in a huff.
Cole got up to chase after her, since she didn't know which ship they were leaving on, with Neven and Kate following soon after.
"Alright, which boat would have rooms for only five thousand?" Dusk asked to her self as she looked down at the docked ships.
"Actually, the rooms are twenty thousand each," Cole said when he caught up to Dusk. "Only the best for My friends."
"Really...you idiot! For that much we could have each gotten our own, less nice rooms."
"Yeah, but, it's the only ship bound for Snowpoint city, and I would have gotten four rooms that were not as nice but, they were all booked."
"So which one is it?"
"The big one, all the way at the end." Cole said pointing at the very last dock.
"Finally, we caught up with you, we almost lost you in that crowd!" Kate said as she and Neven jogged up to Cole and Dusk.
"Okay, now that we're all here..." Cole paused again and took a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket, put them on, and then struck another pose. "Let's set sail!"
"...What are those?" Dusk asked.
Cole took the sunglasses off and held them loosely is his hand. "They're sunglasses, sunglasses are cool."
"How much did those cost you?"
"Seven or eight I think, why?"
Dusk snatched the glasses out of Cole's hand and threw them as far out into the water as she could. "I like the way you look with out them."
"*Sigh*, let's just get on the ship." Cole said as he slowly walked toward the ship with his head hung low.
Once aboard the ship Cole learned that in honor of the ships first sailing to Snowpoint, they are having a tournament exclusive to ice type trainers, and without even thinking signed himself up. Once arriving in the cabin they all put their bags down and settled in, except for Neven, who diapered to somewhere on the ship.
"Alright, so there are two beds, a pull out sofa-bed, and another bed is being brought here, so now we need to decide who sleeps on what, and since I paid for the room I get one of them."
"I'll take the one that's being brought." Kate offered.
"And since Neven's not here he doesn't get to pick and I get the bed...you know, speaking of choosing. Suppose that you do catch the Regi-whatever, which one of your Pokemon are you going to swap out for it?" Dusk asked as she sat down on one of the beds.
"I hadn't thought of that, I don't really think I could pick."
"Oh, give me your Vanilluxe! I can use it to mix Milktank's milk in her and make-"
"How many times do I have to tell you Kate, I'm not letting you use Vanilluxe to make ice-cream!"
"Come on, you've got to get rid of one of them, this way you can still see her every day."
"I don't know, that is a good point, hmm."
What dose Cole decide to do?
To give Kate Vinilluxe after the tournament? (Super Milktank Ice-cream becomes available later.)
To give Kate Vinilluxe now? (Super Milktank ice-cream becomes available later.)
Or to give Dusk Weavile? (Dusk falls even harder for Cole.)
