Who: Ruby, a Skitty! Player Plot! (nor and Reena)
What: When Ruby ran away from home, he was unable to take his Skitty Coco with him. Venturing back near the upper quarter is pretty dangerous when it comes to the whole "avoiding dad forever" department, but he wants to see if she's around somewhere and finally bond properly with the Pokemon. Hopefully they'll meet halfway...
Where: Pokemon Habitats

[Ruby was pretty... devastated when he wasn't able to take all of his Pokemon with him when he'd run away. His mother kept Coco at home while he was in school, and he'd taken off from his last day of classes to run away from the upper quarter down town to live at the theatre. Once all of his things were in order, he planned on trying to find the Skitty if he could, even if it meant seeing his parents again. Briefly, of course. He felt bad for his mom too, she'd be alone at home save for a Slakoth or two. He couldn't let his prize winning, adorably cute Skitty he'd raised from a baby go though, not when he'd groomed and pampered her to perfection. So, in heading toward his old home with his Ralts Ruru, he hoped that maybe the Pokemon would be out playing rather than at home. With a bit of a shudder, he imagined her stumbling into some of the mud around town. He looked to Ruru,]

Do you sense Coco anywhere?

[With a shake of her head, Ruru dismisses the question and he sighs. At least with the Psychic Type, they'd know she was close by right away... The young boy pressed onward, determined to find her.]

[ The woman's brow furrows. ]

Ah, yes, she did -- it was a cute little coat. But no, she wasn't with anyone. [ Oh. ] So you think you know her...?

[sewingbox]

I think I can help her find that uh, Ruby kid she's looking for!

[He's a brilliant liar. Truly. The lady may or may not realize the Ralts he's with has the same kind of decorative knit cap on her head too.]

Which way did she go?

[bravenewhelpers]

[ You're very odd, boy. Should she question it right now? But no, she'll point towards the entrance into the habitat. ]

Through there. It's the flying-type habitat, but she hasn't been in there too long.

[sewingbox]

Thank you ma'am!

[Ruby just takes off, giving her a wave in response and picking his Ralts up off the ground to carry her while he goes into the Flying Habitat. Hopefully Coco will be easy to spot...]

Ruru, you keep an eye out for her... or well, your mind's eye I guess.

[Ruru nods and focuses, trying to feel their friend while Ruby starts poking through the habitat.]

[bravenewhelpers]

[ The Flying Habitat looks as much as one might imagine it. There's tall platforms up off from the ground with different levels of nests to be built for those who live inside of the habitat more than not. Wingulls, pidgeots, fearows -- they can be seen high above and heard as there's the odd chatter through the large space.

But there's a ground to it as well of course, green grass and wood, even a pond and bushes with pathways made for those to travel easy through all a bunch of description that will matter not outside this log. Ruru may be able to sense out that Coco was here, somewhere... and still is, does it feel like?

While Ruby's poking through the habitat, he'll see on the top of a bush (a bush much bigger than Coco) a familiar cute cap. How could it have gotten there? ]

sorry! irl got weird!!

[sewingbox]

[He looks up at the hat, frowning and reaching for it, but evem Ruby's too short to get it. Ruru has to bring it down with a Confusion, and Ruby brushes off any twigs or dirt, holding it close.]

Do you think something snatched her all the way up there? She might be hurt, or dirty!

[He looks all around the bush, finally deciding to start climbing up a nearby tree for a better look...]
