Derek Hoffman

Being as both Derek and Antreas are pretty friendly sorts, I could see the two just kind of finding something to speak about upon somehow meeting. But a big thing too is that, since Antreas will sometimes cross dress, imagine the chaos of there being a bit of a flirting situation and Derek has to be given some rather unfortunate news. RIP the man's soul? Regardless, Antreas would certainly be all for making a new friendly friend. And, as an added bonus, despite his status as a breeder he also isn't opposed to battling either and is actually keen on allowing his Pokemon to grow stronger and stronger as time passes so they aren't just left unsure of what to do in a dangerous situation when one may arise.

Hehehe. Main thing would be whether he'd flirt before or after actually finding out if Antreas was a dude or a dudette, seeing as Antreas isn't exactly the most manly thing around. Well, unless Derek was just that keen or whatnot, then yeah. XD But overall would be interesting in terms of breeding together, kinda working on stuff as a team sort of thing. Definitely know Antreas would be up for that to kind of get his footing and all. But certainly kind of forging some kinda friendship since Antreas is straight anyway. So no homo. Heh.

Hmm, as for an idea. How does Derek's birdie interact with others. Antreas's Starly is a very curious and friendly sort so he'd be quick to try and make a friend of Derek's bird, which could very well ask for a bit of an interaction to some degree and maybe even the convo could evolve into the whole breeding shindig. But also a battle at some point may work, as Antreas definitely wouldn't be opposed to getting his birdie to grow stronger.

Definitely would make for an interesting dynamic between the birds and works as a good way to develop them as well. So it'd certainly be cool to work on that sort of thing. Definitely would work and be fun to see how the two kind of interact with Shirley being a bit timid like you said, at first, and the friendly and adventurous Teru kind of bringing out a bit of that other side to her.

Ahh, okay. Yeah, that would work too. Kind of like testing the waters with her, in a way? Antreas meanwhile would mainly just have Teru and all who can battle, but isn't like anything super duper yet of course. Especially since Teru while he can usually perform his attacks, sometimes they are weaker than average or even at times may have a bit of choppiness in actual success (i.e. when using Quick Attack it may end up kind of "flickering" on and off between actually using it and sorta just blanking out, imagine a car motor that is stuttering and such, bordering between alive and dead).

Hmm, I'd assume so. Very least all it'd take is for Shirley to be out and Teru would be bound to approach a fellow bird.

Eden Powers
Ayyy, Derek can most definitely swing by and waste her time while she's on the clock (or not). He doesn't get to brag to a lot of people about his accomplishments as a trainer (as minor as they may be), and would probably unload some of that stuff on Eden when visiting if she seemed interested (or bored enough). He'd potentially develop a friendly/playful crush of sorts on her in that regard, though knows she has her duties and wouldn't be very serious in his attempts to flatter her. She's super cute though and he'd feel pretty bad if he ever got her hopes up. I hope it doesn't happen 'cos I can only imagine her pummeling Derek to the ground LOL (y i k e s). Pls at least leave him in one piece.

I'll contact you on Discord sometime soon to mull over some more specifics, though I might be a bit slow to post depending. I'm in quite a few threads right now, is all.

Derek Hoffman + Leon Harte
LOL, I don't think Derek would mind so much about the flirting. He may even playfully flirt back in a joking manner. Or do/say some provocative/suggesting things when messing around with Leon. I don't know exactly what, but I imagine it could get pretty funny.

But yeah, Derek will probably point out when he thinks Leon is failing as a "trainer" if that's a point of interest for Leon; if he views Derek as successful, and thus his advice worth taking into consideration. It'll boost Derek's confidence & ego, though...so I'll have to find a way to combat that some. Can't have him becoming an airhead.

Would you like to go on a duo wild? Should they be freshly acquainted, or should we assume they already have at least enough history to be on first name basis?
