"Uhm..." Maeve was at a momentary loss for words, because it was Captain freaking America in front of her. "He was in here not too long ago for some of the testing. I'm not sure where he went."

"Oh. Okay. Thanks." Steve shot her a slightly uncomfortable smile and went to go see if he could find Tony. Preferably to strangle him.

"You can stay, if you want," Maeve said, a bit awkwardly. "See if he wanders back. I promise this isn't one of the explodey labs today."

Steve grinned briefly. "Yeah, I figured not. Tony tries to keep the explosions where he can watch them." Which he knew from experience. Tony and Bruce were both horrible, after all.

"Well, see, I'm a TM tester," Maeve said. She smiled a bit apologetically. "Sometimes the techniques that the TMs teach are explodey, whether they're supposed to be or not. But TM testing is done for today, so I promise nothing will forseeably explode."

"Ah. I understand how that goes." Steve smiled a little. His Arcanine was just upstairs, after all. "Are you enjoying your job? I mean, do you like working here?" Steve still didn't understand all of what Tony dabbled in, especially not TMs and different pokeballs and things. When he'd been younger there had been the basic pokeballs and general skill sets. And TMs, but he'd never gotten any.

"I love my job," Maeve said frankly. "It's a part-time gig, but I love being a tester. I get to bring my pokemon with me to work, it's great. And I get to play with the latest toys." She grinned. "Like today's TMs. Cold Snap is useful for anyone who works with ice-types, and the test worked great once Cloyster agreed to try it. Prune could use a bit of fine-tuning, but it worked well enough, and it's for grass-types. Reforge needed work, though." She grimaced a bit. "That one turned out a bit explodey."

Steve blinked, looking a little startled, before he smiled. "You sound kind of like Tony. He gets excited about all these things too." Although Tony also had a habit of hiding his real feelings towards most things.

"What's not to like?" Maeve pointed out. "Pokemon are awesome, so getting to play around with the peripherals is just as fun." She grinned. And then promptly had to pick up Litwick when he settled himself on her reports. "No, you don't go there, I need those," she chided the pokemon.

Steve laughed quietly. "It's nice that people are so relaxed about them now," he said quietly. "Back in the 40's pokemon weren't allowed at jobs, and they were much more closely watched. I almost didn't get to take Growlithe with me."

"Right, Mr. Stark mentioned you have an Arcanine," Maeve said, nodding. She thought for a moment, going through what she knew about Arcanines. "If you don't mind my asking, what's its moveset?" Because she was sure she had a few TMs she could spare that would be compatible.

"Bite, Flame Wheel, Take Down, and Thunder Fang." Steve blinked. "At the moment, anyway. Those seem to have worked best for us."

"Not bad, actually," Maeve said, "not bad at all. Nicely rounded. I don't think I have much to offer that, unless you wanted something really out-there like Dragon Pulse or Solarbeam." She grinned. "Both are compatible with Arcanines. I might be able to get you Fire Blast, though, it's more powerful than Flame Wheel."

"I don't think we need that," Steve said, shaking his head. "Those work well enough for us." He glanced at Litwick. "So, I guess he's yours, huh?"

"Litwick? Yeah, he's mine," Maeve said. She tilted her head towards Ralts, who was napping in her bag. "Her too. A Ralts. Mr. Stark mentioned someone he knows with a Gallade, but only males can evolve that way. She'll end up as a Gardevoir."

Realization dawned, and Steve nodded. "Yeah, a mutual friend of ours. I've never actually met a Ralts before."

Maeve grinned.

"You're in luck, then," she said. Setting Litwick down, she went over and picked Ralts up out of her bag. "Come here, darling, someone wants to meet you."

Ralts yawned and stretched a bit, but stayed behind Maeve as she led the pokemon back over to Steve.

"Ralts are empathetic," she explained to Steve. "They're very sensitive to emotions, so they tend to be shy because of it. Don't take it personally if she won't get too close."

Steve smiled a little and crouched down. "Hello, little one," he said quietly. "You look well cared for. That's good to see. Not that I suspect you or anything," he said quickly, looking up at Maeve. "Not at all, I just mean that it's always good to see them in good health."

Ralts peered out from behind Maeve's legs, and then slowly shuffled out to get a better look at Steve. He seemed to be a nice human, and she didn't sense anything malicious from him, so she felt safe enough to get a little closer.

"I know what you mean," Maeve said. "It's good when you find pokemon who are well-cared-for."

Steve nodded. "I'd get Arcanine down here, but he doesn't like the labs much. Neither does Braviary." He smiled a little at Ralts. "Maybe Shieldon..."

"You have a Shieldon?" Maeve asked, eyes a bit wide. "Wow... You must have the only Shieldon in the world. Or close to it, anyways."

"They found him in the ice near where I was." Steve smiled a little. "So they decided I should keep him." And honestly, Steve loved the little pokemon.

"That's just incredible," Maeve said. She grinned a bit. "Are they your only ones? Arcanine, Braviary, and Shieldon?"

"And Eevee. Those are my four." Steve smiled. Some days it still amazed him that Arcanine had waited all those years.

"An Eevee?" Maeve asked. "Ugh, you have no idea how lucky you are. A Shieldon and an Eevee?" She sighed. "I've wanted an Eevee for a long time. Espeon is just such a gorgeous pokemon and I love it."
