Just a few minutes before...
[My~! That's quite a nice-looking setup at this public park today. Big blanket covered with all kinds of seasonal treats. It's a real shame that everything's uncovered and sitting unattended next to a bunch of big bushes. All that food looks really good... So, perhaps this Murkrow flying down towards it may have an idea as to what to do with it. He lands right next to the set-up, but looks around for a few moments. Seeing no other human or Pokemon nearby, he's just going to hop over to that plate of rice balls and--

And get a solid pair of Double Kicks in the face from a Bunnelby rushing out of the bushes. And that's topped off with no less than three Bug Pokemon - a Metapod, a Venipede, and a Scatterbug - all hopping out behind the Bunnelby to cover the Dark bird with waves of String Shots. The Murkrow is caught off-guard so much that he barely has time to try and beat back the first couple of String Shots before ending up covered by the stuff.

Well, to be more exact, the bird's actually bundled up like a fly in a Spinarak's web.]

Kurosuke. [And here comes Right, slowly making his way out of the bushes as he brushes off some leaves.] I trusted you to not be a thief. And what do you do? You go stealing stuff!

Kaw-krow! [~I said I don't steal shiny things! I'm honest about that!~ Kurosuke the Murkrow responded from where he laid on the ground.

Right immediately hauled the bird up by the feet until they were facing each other face to face.] A thief is a thief, whether it's jewelry or food! And I wont' tolerate it any further! [Right then bends down to pick up the Metapod.] Ready to hang him, Creeper?

Meta! [~Ready and willing!~ Creeper shoots a very long string shot that has the other end attaching to the dark bird's feed...just moments before Right tosses the cocoon Pokemon over a low-lying branch of a close-by tree.

The Murkrow caws in protest as he feels himself being yanked out of Right's hand and left hanging in mid-air while Creeper gets caught and gently set down on the ground by their Trainer.]

Alright, Creeper...just stay there until he's learned his lesson. Everyone else, let's eat!

Now

Perhaps you're enjoying some time in the sun, or perhaps you're just passing through - or close by - this nice public park here in the center of Union. But surely the distressed cries of a Murkrow catches your attention. If one would follow the noise to the source, one will see Kurosuke the Murkrow, bundled up in layers of String Shot, hanging by his feet from one end of another String Shot which is anchored by Creeper the Metapod. Not very far from the pair is Right and a few of his other Pokemon happily munching on a very tasty picnic spread.]

Mmmmm! This is wonderful~! Isn't that right, guys!

[All three Pokemon nods in agreement, their own mouths stuff full of food.

Kurosuke, however, is cawing as he struggles against his bonds. ~C'mon, Right! Lemme have at least one bite!~] Murk! Murk!

Mnn? You want some of this too? [Right gets up, holding a plate of rice balls as he steps over to the tied-up bird. He picks up a rice ball and takes a big bite out of it.] Mmmmm, these really are good. Want a taste? [He holds one out towards the Murkrow...but pulls it back as soon as the bird reaches for a bite with his beak.] Whoah! Still want it? [He repeats the process a few more times, and then takes another bite as the Murkrow continues to plead for just one little bite.

That last bit repeats a few more times, and it's becoming obvious that Right's showing no regret in denying the poor Murkrow some food. Even though said Murkrow is slowly becoming more desperate for food. Those who know the lad would think that this may be really unlike him!

...unless, of course, you've seen that Murkrow making off with a plate of your food at any point within the past several days. Still...intervene? Or just sit back and enjoy the show?]

[At some point when Right looks over, he'll see Hanayo standing right next to the Murkrow, staring at that plate of rice balls with stars in her eyes and practically drooling. Where did she come from and how did she get here so quickly? Only the Savior knows.]

[And cue Right flinching in surprise upon her popping up there.] H-Hanayo!? What are you doing here?

I smelled your rice balls.

[What is up with this girl's nose, anyway?]

They look so good...

[...actually, she's got one heck of a nose to be smelling rice balls.]

Oh...thanks! They just got made this morning. Want some? [He holds out the plate for her to pick and choose.

Meanwhile, the Murkrow continues cawing for his fair share...but is currently ignored by everyone else at this moment.]

[Hanayo's nose is keenly attuned to even the faintest rice-related scent.]

Can I? Really?

[The alternative is her standing here drooling buckets while staring at them, so that was probably the smart move.]

Sure! Help yourself! [Sharing food with a friend is hardly ever an issue for Right, after all. He does, however, take one more rice ball and start nibbling on it.]

[Hanayo scoops up several rice balls, immediately taking a big bite out of one of them and making a cute little squealing sound as she touches her cheek.]

Ahhhh, it's delicious...!

It is, isn't it? Sanae's a great cook. Her food's some of the best I've eaten.

[Sorry, Kurosuke; he's still ignoring you while you reach out in vain to get some with your beak.]

Sanae? Who's that?

[Someone Hanayo needs to befriend, clearly. Excuse her for speaking while chewing.]

Oh, she's a fellow member of the Union Divine Theater. She helps with all the cooking and other chores around the place.

[And he pops another rice ball into his mouth.]

I need to get her recipe... these are fantastic!

Drop by the theater sometimes! I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

Ah--that reminds me! I actually got a part in our upcoming play!

You did? Congratulations! What kind of role is it?

I'm a Clefable! It's part of a musical comedy, and all the actors dress up as Pokemon for those roles.

It sounds like a really cute show.

It is! As soon as we get a final date, I'll let you know so that you can come see it.

I'll definitely come and cheer you on.

Thanks, Hanayo. [And pop goes another rice ball into his mouth.

Kurosuke whines as he looks on forlornly from where he hangs.]

Do you want some too...?

[She's finally noticing the sad Murkrow.]

Uh, hold on a sec, Hanayo. [Right then turns to Kurosuke with a serious look on his face.] Do you promise to behave now, and not steal anyone's food again?

Krowwww! [I will; I promise~! The Murkrow eagerly nodded his head.]

Okay, then... Creeper, you can let him go now.

Ku! [And with that, the Metapod let's go of the string that the Murkrow was hanging from, letting the bird fall into Right's one-arm grasp.]

Here ya go, Kurosuke. [Right holds up the remaining few rice balls to the dark bird, who immediately starts munching away with tears of joy.]

That's better. It's always more fun when everyone can enjoy rice balls together.

[Satisfied with that, Hanayo happily finishes her own.]
