[ACTION - The Lake Shrine]

S'been a while, huh Shiva?

[The question's directed at the small Eevee trotting alongside him, made distinguishable from any others by the little black bandana that Snow's tied around its neck.]

'Vee?

Y'know, since we've done a little exploring.

[Seems that's been a pretty big buzzword these days. If the Rangers are planning on an expedition to the caverns, that means that Snow and Shiva can't afford to let themselves get too soft. Which is why the two of them now find themselves at the very edge of the Lake Shrine. Snow pauses a moment, just to take it all in.]

Pretty cool, huh?

[Did he really need to ask? The Eevee looks pretty thrilled to be here, as does Snow.

Ahh, uncharted territory. Just like the good ol' days...]

[You'll let Yanma perch on you? You're good people, Snow! It lowers itself gingerly on his arm, wings moving a bit before it finally settles. This is much better, it can sit and take a better look at this human. Win win!

But what is that weird band thing on your arm, Snow? It uses one of its arms to try to reach at his warp band.]

[struckbylightning]

[Those little arms of Yanma's kinda tickle... Oh hey, it's pawing at the Warp Band.]

This must be your first time seeing something like that, I bet. Pretty cool, huh?

[bravenewmods]

[It's super cool!

...

What is it?]

[struckbylightning]

Lots of people have these back where I come from. We call 'em "Warp Bands." They help make it easier for us to talk with Pokémon. You know, to make new friends.

[Kinda like now.]

Wanna give it a shot?

[bravenewmods]

[So this weird thing would help the big human understand Yanma better? Whoa! You humans have cool stuff!

It starts tapping at it now. Yeah, let's try the thing!]

[struckbylightning]

Heh, guess so! Okay, here goes...

[He reaches with his left hand to activate the Band.]

[bravenewmods]

[The band glows and Yanma flutters its wings in response. Hehe, that feels funny.

Congratulations, you have bonded with Yanma! It is level 5, and its stats, nature and characteristics are up to you to decide.]

[struckbylightning]

[Victory!]

Hey, all right! It's nice to meet you, buddy!

[He hikes his thumb up to introduce himself.]

My name's Snow. Snow Villiers. And this - [He lowers his left arm and extends it towards the Eevee on the ground.] - is Shiva. Come on up and say hi.

[Shiva takes a running start and leaps atop Snow's other arm, darting up and around his shoulders so she can meet their new friend at eye level as well, purring in excitement.]
