♃ - Second Strike

[thunderboltprincess]

Action
[If one is passing by the Council Hall, they will notice an adorable and pampered-looking Eevee standing on the steps. She is wearing a cute pink collar with the name of "HIME" emblazoned upon it, a bow sitting proudly behind her little head. When you get closer to her, she turns her big, soulful eyes on you and makes the most pathetic sounds.

If her coat wasn't so shiny and luxurious, you'd swear she was starving. But, really, feed her anyway.

Or, you know, try to find her trainer. Either one.]

Video
Uh, to everyone who ran into my Eevee, Hime, earlier, I'm sorry. She ran away while I was at school. If she conned food out of you, I can pay you back. And if she did something else, [Makoto sighs, knowing what trouble the adorable little Pokémon could get into] let me know and I'll pay you back for any damages.

Comments

[Makoto sighs, happy to see that Hime managed to find a Pokémon that is safe and someone she knows so she can thank them personally.]

Thank you, so much, Natto. We were worried about her. Was she much trouble?

[Hime sniffs, but she resembles that remark so she can't say much in her own defense. Besides, he shared food with her and gave her a leaf that made her prettier. He's okay.]

[But poor Usato and Gold...The Chikorita watches the Jolteon as he crashes into the door and hurts himself. That stops the tears. Oh, no, are you hurt? Are you bleeding? Don't do that. Please.]Ri. Chikorita. Chi.

Vanny van. [ Natto shakes his head reassuringly. Not at all! In fact, she had such good manners, she shared her PokéPuff! (....On that note, he hopes it's okay he fed her. He looks down, embarrassed.)

Gold, for his part, feels his head with a paw and is satisfied that no bump has formed. He's okay! ] Jol!

[ Now, about your predicament....

He sniffs Usato's leaf where stem meets door, then opens his mouth to gently try and take Usato by said stem. The door won't move, so he'll tug you free! Okay? ] Jolteon?

[thunderboltprincess]

Well, I'm glad. I brought lunch for everyone. I think there's enough to share. [She grabs her bag, pulling out food for everyone, and looks around.] Um, where's Usato?

Rii! [Usato is so happy you're not hurt, Gold. He would feel awful if that happened.

But, what are you doing? Don't bite his... OH. That makes sense. Do you need him to do anything to help?] Chikorita?

[actsmagnificent]

[ You'd share with him? That's so sweet...though Natto does hope he hasn't spoiled Hime's appetite with the puff. She seemed really hungry, though, so it should be okay...? ] Lea.

[ He looks around for the errant Chikorita too, but hasn't turned around yet to notice Gold standing by the door, bracing himself for this Helpful Operation. You just need to stand reaaaaallly still, okay, little guy? And don't be scared. It might hurt a little while he's pulling, so let him know if he accidentally bites too hard. ] Jllll....teeee....nnnnn...

[ Planting his paws on the pavement (but trying to keep his mouth loose), Gold gives a mighty yank! ]

[thunderboltprincess]

[Of course she's going to share with everyone. Why wouldn't she? And, well, Hime will be okay. Let her pay you back for it, okay?]

Usato? Where are you?

[Cotton lets out a excited bleat as she spots the Chikorita with a familiar Jolteon before running that way.

Usato, for his part, is a little worried, but he trusts Gold. He's helping and seems like a really nice, Jolteon. Just...don't hurt him too much okay?] Rii!

[Did it work? Is he free? Usato pulls his little head back and... the leaf slides free of the door. YAY! You've done it!]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Gold is so overcome by his own efforts that his buttfuzz plunks down on the cobblestones; blinking a few times, he lets go of Usato's stem and looks around. That was - huh - there was no screaming, and nothing broke. This isn't normal.

He looks down at the newly-freed Chikorita. Usato's free. He's in one piece, and so is the door. Is this real life? Because it looks like Gold just helped someone, and that's never gone right before....

Jumping back on all four paws, he hops around Usato, every bit as excited for the Chikorita as he is for himself. They did it!! And you feel okay? Your leaf will be fine? He knows from the company he keeps that leaves are important, so, wow, this is the best day ever, it worked! It worked!!!!! ] Jolteon! Eeeee!!!

[ Natto doesn't say anything, but he hangs out behind Makoto and smiles. Good for both of them. He's happy, too. ]
