Alice had Altaria take her over into the city the next morning, taking a bit of time to look around. She hefted her purse a little higher, recalled Altaria, and waited for Cat.

Cal showed up a few minutes later, Allegra with her.
“Morning, Alice,” she greeted. She gestured to her junior trainer. “This is Allegra, my junior trainer. Allegra, this is Alice, my sister and my primary support team during competition season.”

"Hi." Allegra waved a bit.
"Hi Allegra. We still getting breakfast, Cal? Altaria was bugging me this morning."

“Yeah, breakfast is on me today,” Cal replied, nodding. “I was thinking that new places that just opened, the breakfast and lunch place.”

"Lead the way," Alice agreed, falling into step next to her sister. "How are things since last time I actually came into the city?"

“We’re about to be in pre-season,” Calypso replied. “We’ve started getting more tourists coming to the facility to try to watch training, Gardevoir has had to turn a lot of people away.”

"Sounds about right. This is why I keep my name out of the public as much as possible." Alice shrugged.

“And I do what I can to keep it that way, I promise,” Calypso assures her. “I’m not so lucky, what with the competitions and the sponsorship and the training.”

"Yeah, but you kind of signed up for that," Alice pointed out. "But I do appreciate your discretion."

“I did sign up for that,” Calypso acknowledged, grinning. “I like battling, so it’s worth it.”

"Yup." Alice grinned. "And you don't have to worry about food or anything." She shook her head, amused.

"I'm just lucky you don't mind being my support team," Calypso replied, grinning. "Speaking of, I got my hands on some Grassium Z for Mimikyu, so that will be fun this season."

"Oh very nice," Alice agreed. "You will have fun with that." She shook her head a bit. "And meanwhile, my Pidge flock has expanded by two, I'm pretty sure."

Calypso snickered at that.
"Not surprised," she said.
"Pidge flock?" Allegra asked, blinking.

Alice smiled a bit. "There's a whole flock of Pidgeys and Pidgeottos that live in the woods near my house. They occasionally run some errands for me."

"They run errands for you?" Allegra asked disbelieving. "Like what? And how do you get them to listen?"

"They run food orders for me," Alice told her, amused. "I give them food, so they run errands for me. Easy as that."

"You... bribe them?" Allegra asked. "And they just run errands? That's crazy."

"Yes it is. And yet it works, so I'm not going to question it too much." Alice grinned. "Just roll with it, kid."

"Is professional competition always so weird?" Allegra asked, looking at Calypso. Calypso just sighed and nodded.
"Sometimes," she admitted as they got to the breakfast place and sat down. "Amongst the professionals, it's pretty common to just stick with something you find that works, even if it's unusual."

"Yeah, pretty much," Alice agreed, because she'd stuck around long enough that she'd seen a lot. "Saw a guy once in the professional track, although he was pretty settled National level, that just had a bunch of fire types. Didn't use them all to compete, of course, but he like surrounded himself with fire types. Apparently bits of his house routinely catch fire."

Calypso snickered.
"Yeah, Jose, I've met him in the arena before," she said. "He was making heart-eyes at Delphox. But I do have to admit, his team was about as well-thought-out as it could be, being all fire half-types."

"He's certainly not bad," Alice agreed. "I mean he's consistently in the Nationals, which is pretty good. And he's pretty nice." She grinned.

"I mean, I'm routinely in the Nationals too," Calypso pointed out, grinning. "Though this year I think I get to start from the Nationals, since I qualified over the off-season."

"Right." Alice glanced at Allegra. "You going to stay with her through the season? Go get an idea of what those battles look like?"
