008 [Action]

[Unionites might notice a somewhat...interesting display in the street. There’s a gold and sparkly Lucario and a Bellossom, each with a canvas and easel sized just for them, with paint.

Their trainer, meanwhile, is a curvy young green woman with red hair, who’s sitting back with her notebook in the sun, sipping a glass of water. When someone approaches, she speaks up.]

Hello. Would you like to commission some art? All proceeds are going to charity.

[She felt like indulging the two artists on her team while simultaneously being philanthropic.]

Well, I'm glad she's able to express herself without causing a problem now.

[Lenna's had some problem children of her own over the course of things, but that's just part of being a trainer.]

I don't know. I get the feeling it's more of a trust issue.

[toxicrevenger]

Having Daffodil around helps her, too. Those two are pretty good friends.

[It's nice to see two vastly different Pokemon find common ground and bond the way her Lucario and Bellossom have.]

Do you think she had bad experiences with others before she bonded with you?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

I'm not really sure. I met her in the Dream World, so it's hard to say what kinds of things happened there.

[toxicrevenger]

[Ah, the Dream World. The place where very little makes any sense whatsoever. It’s not Pamela’s favourite place, but she’d be a poor scientist if she allowed fear of the unknown to prevent her from traveling their entirely.]

She could have had some truly bizarre experiences...hopefully being bonded with you will help her to become more trusting over time.

[She has faith that if anyone can help with trust issues, it’s Lenna..]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

I think she'll be all right. She just needs some time.

[Lenna looks back and smiles at Claret. She gets a smile in return, but if Pamela is looking, it's all suspicious glareface.]

[toxicrevenger]

[Pamela has to cover her mouth to hide the smile that creeps onto her face when she sees that glare from such an adorable Pokemon. She thinks it’s cute.]

Well, hopefully she’ll learn to warm up to your other Pokemon and your good friends in time.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Good thinking. Claret wouldn't appreciate being looked down on.]

I hope so too. In the meantime, I just want to show her she's appreciated.

[And... lightbulb!]

Oh, I know! Why doesn't Azalea do a painting of her?
