ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Mariko's Memories

-A sudden image appears before the girl, a large, and quite angry Ursaring.-

-The blue haired boy places a hand on the girl's shoulder.-

Ameno...Kusaru:I won't try and hurt you, girl. Not if you remain at peace.

Iri Manor

-Lane is actually nearby, holding a hiccuping Darumaka.-

Petalburg

Sylph:<Love you too, sweetie.>

Mariko's Memories

-The Zorua girl yelps at the sight of the Ursaring and turns around to face the boy, whining pitifully.-

Z-zor...-sniffles-

Mariko's Memories

Kusaru:Zor...? What a strange child.

-He turns to go inside, the Ursaring dissipates, leaving behind a small Natu. who hopes after the boy dutifully.-

Come along...you wanted food, yes? My family will not turn you away. Not if I ask.

Iri Manor

-Well that was fast-

Blitz: "Hey Lane, how's it going?"

-The male is flanked by a Clefairy hanging behind an Arcanine-

"So... I heard I've got someone that needs to talk to you"

Mariko's Memories

-The skinny, dirty girl approaches cautiously, suspecting this to be some sort of human trick, and yet being too hungry to resist.-

Iri Manor

Lane:Oh, hey Blitz. I'm doing...pretty well, actually.

Well...better than being accused of trying to get into a girl's pant...and being asked out by them...eh.

-Iggy notices Mondo, hiccups, and scrambles behind Lane, standing on his backpack and peeking over his shoulder.-

I...kinda heard too...

Mariko's Memories

-A quick talk ovearhead reveal that this boy is Ameno Kusaru, the eldest chid of the family and heir to the estate. He has a little brother, Hikaru. The skinny and dirty girl is soon given a much needed bath.-4

Kusaru:I've asked the food be delivered to the study. Shall we go?

Iri Manor

Blitz: "I see"

-He drags Mondo out from behind his fluffy shield and prods him towards Lane and Ignia, but the Clefairy just stares at the floor by Lane's feet-

"Come on, you're just gonna make this even longer and more awkward at this rate Mondo"

-He stays silent for a few more moments-

Mondo: <Sorry>

Mariko's Memories

-The Zorua girl's first bath is a very strange experience for her. She struggles at first, but calms down when she realizes the servant given the task isn't trying to drown her. The clothes she is given feel nice and warm as well. She follows the servant to the study, lured by the promise of food.-

Iri Manor

-Iggy peeks out.-

Ignia:<Hu-hic!-huh?>

Lane:I don't think she heard you.

Mariko's Memories...?

-Funny...I seem to remember that differently...hm.

-Inside the study is a sleepy eyed, messy white-haired boy...this would be Hikaru.-

Kusaru:Hikaru, we have a guest.

-The white haired boy puts down his book and yawns.-

Hikaru:Sorry...brother..hm...?

-Looks at the girl.-

Who's...this?

-Food soon arrives.-

Iri Manor

-Sigh-

Mondo: <I didn't mean to yell at you, I was just mad at... Well... Somemon else. Sorry>

-He doesn't look up, he just shifts his gaze around various bits of floor-

Mariko's Memories

-The Zorua girl sits down to eat. At least one thing hasn't changed. Her table manners are as lacking as you'd expect those of a Zorua turned human to be.-

Iri Manor

-Peeks out a little more.-

Ignia:<Who were you-hic!-mad at...?>

Mariko's Memories

-Hikaru watches the girl eat.-

Hikaru:She's kinda silly! Does she have a name?

Kusaru:Hm...I never asked.

-The memory begins...distorting slightly.-

Iri Manor

Mondo: <...Doesn't matter...>

-Blitz taps the Clefairy with his foot-

<Fine. It was a rock-type back home... Used to pick on me for being fluffy. Don't like to talk about it>

Iri Manor

Ignia:<Oh...>

-She climbs down.-

<I'm sorry...I didn't know...>

Iri Manor

Mondo: <'s okay, you weren't supposed to.>

Iri Manor

Iggy:<P-hic!-Papa says...it's not nice fer people t' make fun of you...>

-She tentatively huggles the Clefairy once more.-

-Lane gives a small smile and yawns.-

Thanks to Tangent for spagging the rest of this with me.

Aqua Tent in Petalburg, after this

Ryklys: "Who was..?"

"Oh, the Sharpedo? We can always use more Sharpedo. Is your trainer signing up?"

-Chum shakes his head-

Chum: <She's probably not interested. And I wasn't expecting to be associated with her as far as this goes, anyway.>

Grace: -teleports behind Chum- <Sneaking behind her back, eh?>

Ryklys: "Hmm... we can give it a try. Your name?"

-Chum's a bit startled by Grace teleporting behind him, but doesn't try and react much-

Chum: -to Grace- <Eh, she shouldn't care. I just don't want to be tied to her for things like this.>

-to Ryklys- <My name's Chum.>

Ryklys: "I see..."

"Can you report to $PLACE at $TIME for induction?"

Chum: <Yeah, that works.>

Ryklys: Very well. I will see you then. Am I missing anything?

Read: <Don't let any Chimeco puppet your trainer into joining any teams! That just ends awkwardly.>

-Chum appears confused for a bit, but shakes it off-

Chum: <I... don't think that'll be a problem for us.>

<But what's the usual dress code for this?>

Ryklys: We have uniforms. Usually Pokémon don't wear them.

Anne: <Unless they want to!>

Chum: Hm... Might get fewer of those kinds of questions if I'm wearing one...

<You have any made for Sharpedo, then?>

Ryklys: "...umm."

"I... suppose we may be able to work something out for-"

Read: <Of course we do! Ryklys figured out a Sharpedo cut for the Aqua uniform a few years ago and got them produced, since her Po->

Ryklys: "Shhh!"

Read: <...nyta really likes Sharpedo?>

Ryklys: "..."

-facepalms-

Chum: <...Well, alright, then. Glad that works out.>

Petalburg Woods, the other end of the wood

Robin: Ha…Ha…Ha…

Reuniclus: You're out of shape, my friend! Look at me, a unicellular blob of psychic, and I'm still faster!

Robin: You know what? You know what? You know-

…You're right…Ha…You're right goddammit.

Rustboro, sometime after the party.

Psyche finds Noelle. "Hey, sweetie, I just realized I forgot to give you your present. :3"

Iri Manor, at the party

-Noelle's gift to Psyche, whenever she opens it, is a box of assorted hair decs-

Noelle: I don't use a lot of these anymore, but I thought they'd look so cute on you!

Rustboro, after the party

Noelle: Oh~? What is it?

Iri Manor

Psyche smiles. "I love them, dear~ ^_^" She huggles tightly.

Rustboro

Psyche hands her a picture carved into a block of wood, of the two of them snuggling under the stars, with a Xatu and a Togekiss flying by in the background. "It's uh, not my best work."

Rustboro City, now

Noelle: Awww... it's beautiful. -huggles Psyche-

Psyche hugs tightly. "It's one of the few patient things I do. It helps me meditate. So now I sell them, and give them to loved ones for presents."

Rustboro City

Noelle: That's really sweet. It's good that you have something like that.

Psyche smiles. "Well, I'm just glad you like it~ ^_^"
