I think we can figure it out. [He. He saw this coming. As long as he looks and doesn't touch, it's fine...]

[that's so mean to expect silver

so mean

not untrue but so mean

a sigh fiiiine]

At least she can point us to a nice place to eat, or somethin' like that.

["Lumiose is as famous for its cafés as it is its tower! There's a lot of them... On this street we have the one beside us and there's a bitter medicine shop down the way. There's another café, Café Classe, across the way that's famous for its fashion fanatics. If it isn't too rude to say, you two could do with some tips. Your clothing wears you!"

oh

...

did she diss my style silver]

Everyone keeps saying that. What gives?

[She dissed mine too okay and I am way more fashionable than you]

[you're so rude we've discussed this YOU ARE NOT MORE FASHIONABLE THAN ME

"It's just... Well, you're kind of dated in fashion. The clothes themselves aren't in bad taste, but you're a few seasons behind."]

So what? They've comfy.

[she

laughs

sorry

"Fashion and style is what Kalos is famous for! If you want to get anywhere in the city, you're going to have to be trendy."]

[am too mister red black and yellow

at least I'm color coordinated]

Do I still get to wear a cape?

[Capes never go out of fashion right

he can rock some different clothes for a while sure-]

["Capes are coming back in, actually, so you're doing better than your friend here."

god DAMMIT really]

Well, great, I'll remember that when I go out next time. [could not be more sarcastic] And where can we get new duds, then?

[honestly the garbage would be better clothes than what he's got on rn

but

"Well... The Boutique in town is a little out of your league, but there's many of them around in Kalos that'll happily open their doors to you. Café Classe has someone in there that knows all about them."

growlithe is enjoying himself btw yea happy bath yea]

[You hear that Gold

my cape is fashionable]

We'll keep that in mind.

[it's gonna be more fashionable when you're usin it to tie my wrists to a bedpost, dude

can you do that that sounds kind of hot fuck--

"My sister's a big fashion freak, like even for Lumiose, so it's no problem! I like fur over faux any day myself." yes she's pleased to have helped some walking disasters

it looks like they're beginning to style Growlithe's fur too]

Wonder what they'll make him look like. [an ancient king??? a pussy??? no it's just gonna be a trim because his fur's getting kind of long. speakin of long tho Gold'll play with Silver's hair] Hey, let's get haircuts too. Yours is lookin' a little lengthy.

[...It really is, isn't it.] Sounds nice. It keeps getting tangled.

[They better go somewhere super nice though, he'll only accept a haircut from the best-]

[yeah he can tell

he'll just run his fingers through it to untangle it a little

does that still feel as nice as ever?]

Got any good places in mind?

["Hm... Well, there is Coiffure's Clips on South Boulevard. It's right past the Pokémon Center - you can't miss it. It's not too pricey to get it colored and styled in the same go!"

she got her hair done there, after all. so nice. much hair.]

[Yes. Yes it does.]

Guess we'll try there, then. [You're gonna get a haircut too, right Gold?]

[does he look like he needs one

...

actually he's gonna blow at his explosive hair in the front

he could use a trim he guesses]

Yeah. Maybe I'll get a dye job too. I kinda miss havin' purple hair.

[though seriously the intern looks Gold up and like

really??

a fashion disaster and a punk?

you fit right in with the backstreets of the city--

"Oh, they only do touch-ups and the like. You'd have to dye your hair yourself."]

I miss having pink hair too. We really did look just like our...

[...Oh. Aw man...]

[ahhh good times

...

man, it's been a while since he thought about that weird facility even tho they got a ton of Pokémon from it]

Too bad. Guess we can buy some dye and do our hair after we get it cut and all. [and, in a more whisper whisper hush hush kinda way] At a nice hotel, you, me and a nice, long shower.

[the intern doesn't hear a word either, mostly because she's being called back to help clean the floor around the perfectly groomed Growlithe

baby looks fiiine

and kind of like gold???]

[No one would believe them if they talked about it anyway, so there's no point]

I'm not sure I wanna stay in this city overnight.

[Not quite noticing puppy. Not yet.]

[yeah

it was like some weirdo dream]

The people're mostly rude, but that ain't no reason not to stay the night. Unless you're put off by all the fancy shmancy stuff?

[a quick few more brushes, some cooing, and they'll let the Growlithe hop down and bad over to Silver

look at him

hot dog walkin--]

[...You know, after so long it is a little strange-

Gold

Gold he looks like you

Gold he looks like you if you were cute Gold-

Oh my goodness puppy come here let him hold and love you you're so soft-]

[excuse you he is cute

but no Gold gets that oh man he's precious lookin

puppy is so happy look at him look at hiiim]

Well, look at you little dude! Got the same hair I've got. They did good.

[... oh right uh

how much are they gonna pay for this

(seeing as they're satisfied they are gonna pay right

it's not THAT expensive...............)]

[Of course they're gonna pay

and tip handsomely

and ruffle puppy's fuzz some more yes much of that--]

[how much money do they have anyway

the intern ties a little ribbon with the salon's name on it around the Growlithe's neck and give him a pat

"Thank you for coming! Oh, if you ever need a guide, you can ask the staff at Lumiose Press in the street behind us, just past Bleu Plaza. They're very helpful and willing to give tips on where to go to get your name known."]

Yeah, thanks a lot. He looks fantastic. [as does she, he almost adds, but bites it back. they've been dating for a while there's no excuse this late]

[Don't question how much money he has he's not answering]

Yeah. I never thought he'd look this cute and clean.

[c'mon they must've spent a fortune doin all that stuff in johto and now kalos??]

They even clipped his nails... You're a good boy, Barkbro, bein' so well-behaved for these lovely ladies. [pet pet pet YES HE IS NOT GIVING UP ON THIS NAME

NO MATTER HOW "SIMPLE AND CUTE" GROWLY IS]

[Do I need to say it again]

His name's not Barkbro. [He is grabbing Growly and carrying him out, thank you-]

[followin you out now... which way was it to that classy cafe thing...]

Well, it ain't gonna be Growly. It's so boring. Barkbro's fine!

Barkbro sounds dumb. Growly's simple, but it gets the job done.

[It was uh... This way. Yeah.]
