[For Raine, since the return from the unexpected journey to Glacier, it has been a few weeks spent studying, catching up, learning some of the quicker ways to get around Union and... settling in. Something which had been easy enough for her and her brother; less so when it came to her Pokemon bondmates.

In particular, her Oddish had become somewhat difficult to handle since her return, not adjusting to the changes all that well and the fact that Raine had been away for a while. It had developed a tendency of shaking some form of sleep powder or stun spores at any humans who got too close before retreating somewhere to hide.

While she was used to dealing with it, it would be unfortunate if someone else had unknowingly agitated the Pokemon while it was having one of its fits, though she doesn't feel comfortable broadcasting the situation. Still, she's looking a little harried, after the Pokemon scampers off after being re-summoned, yet again, and she's finally forced to consult the network-

... and yes, that is a Pikachu fussing with her hair in the frame.]

My apologies for bothering you with something like this, but if anyone has happened to notice an Oddish that is behaving -- well, oddly -- can you let me know where you've noticed it and keep your distance from it? We were in the business district, so she probably hasn't gotten very far. Thank you.

[Short and to the point. As it is, she'll get back to searching, herself, even though the Pikachu accompanying her also seems a little fussy, since here they are in the business district but no actual shopping seems to be taking place. Priorities...]

[ Lux turns on the feed, dressed a little less refined than the last time they spoke, her hair tied up in a large braided bun and wearing a leather apron. ]

An Oddish, in the business district?

[ That was a bit weird in and of itself, come to think of it. ]

What is it doing exactly? Is everything all right? I was just about to take my break, I can take a look if you'd like.

[The whole situation is very, very, weird. Raine wishes she was back in the library, all things considered.]

We were taking a walk. It's a long story, but the easiest way to put it is that it's... an adjustment issue that we've been having. Humans make her nervous, so she's likely hiding.

[ladyofluminosity]

The business district isn't the best place to hide, all told. Hmm...

[ Tilting her head a bit, she holds her chin. ]

In that case, does she have any unique physical features? I know at least a few Oddishes around here, but having something specific to look for might help.

VIDEO.

[wise_maiden]

She doesn't like being on the ground, or the outdoors. As for features... [Honestly she was hoping that people just wouldn't get close enough to have to worry about that.] She does have a small, square shaped bandage on her, on the right side just under her leaves.

An odd Oddish behaving oddly? That is certainly a bit odd! No evens, just odds!

[Oh right the woman needs help.]

I can help look for her and talk to her if you like! I'm really good at talking with Pokémon!

video.

[wise_maiden]

[... Oh dear. This seemed to be a young child? Even more reason for the warnings.]

Is that okay with your parents? I would be glad if you helped looked for her, but she startles very easily, so please be careful. She may hurt you if she thinks you're a threat...

video.

[suppordle]

[She blinks for a few seconds in silence, her cheery expression went into a more lost look.]

My parents aren't here. [She looks around in the air around her, even briefly turning around before turning back.] I don't remember when the last time I saw them. I saw several kinds of things, but they aren't among the things that I have seen.

[wise_maiden]

[Raine blinks at that shift in expression. The words were a little strange, mostly concerning. It might have just been her own responsible nature kicking in, but --]

... I'm sorry. Do you have any guardians at all?

[punchesyu]

[He looks like he's on break at work, his Junes apron still hanging around him as he sits heavily in a chair somewhere in the department store. He'd decided to try to relax his mind a little from some disaster he hasn't been able to control yet.]

What else could go wrong today...? What do Oddishes even do that's weird?

[He's just sort of stressed and complaining.]

video

[wise_maiden]

She's really not fond of the outdoors. Or of people for that matter.

[Raine's pretty stressed out herself.] So of course here we are in an area that's surrounded by both, practically.

video

[punchesyu]

That could be anywhere!

[The business district had so much to it. He doesn't even have an idea of where to start.]

Hey but seriously...what exactly does she do that's got you all concerned?

video

[wise_maiden]

If she's agitated, she might start using her powder moves. I just don't want anyone to get caught up in that if they can avoid it, is all.

[frozenflame]

[Okay, okay, okay, Yukiko's trying hard not to laugh. Really, really hard. But seriously?]

How snerk oddly is your giggle Oddish...being snerk odd?

[wise_maiden]

[Oh this isn't even fair, sending out the message was hard enough and now there were people laughing about it.

The Pikachu is just going to fuss at her more for this expression she's making, but... really?]

If you see an Oddish behaving in a way that isn't ordinary, that's the one. Honestly, does any more really need to be said?

[frozenflame]

[Yukiko manages to hold back the incoming gigglestorm...]

How...do you mean oddly? What's so odd about an Oddish being snicker odd? Is it...sporing things? Or making lots of noise or...?

[wise_maiden]

It's not -- her being odd isn't the issue! [Really regretting the word choice right now.]

She just doesn't like the outdoors or people, so I'm not sure where she's gone off to hide. And if she's upset, she's likely to shake some kind of powder on whomever comes across her. I just wanted to make sure people were aware, that's all.

[child_of_luv]

Oddly? How so?

[ video ]

[wise_maiden]

[Well, she's just going to have to face the fact that everyone will focus on that portion of what she's said.]

It's just that she doesn't like being outside, or on the ground. I'm not sure where she's hiding herself right now.

Re: [ video ]

[child_of_luv]

[Amusing... Oddish behaving oddly...]

Hm. I'm guessing she doesn't wander off a lot, huh? Well, I could keep an eye out for her. Does she have anything unique about her?

[Video]

[toxicrevenger]

Do you think that it would help her if a Vileplume or Bellossom approached her instead?

[Video]

[wise_maiden]

[Hm. That's something she takes a moment to consider.]

Honestly... I'm not certain. It probably couldn't hurt? She hasn't been around other Pokemon of her kind before either, from what I could tell.

[Video]

[toxicrevenger]

I have both. They're mother and daughter, actually. I'll bring Clover and Azalea with me to go and look for her.

Video

[bearlydressed]

This odd bearhavior wouldn't happen to include putting random people to sleep would it? [Because this Cubchoo ended up getting caught in a sleep powder while helping a customer, and one of his Pokemon decided to try and wake him up by clubbing his head with a bone. That only ended up with Teddie getting a few, noticeable lumps on his head.]

Because a friend of mine saw an Oddish do just that to me before taking off in a hurry!

Video

[wise_maiden]

[Blink. ... It's a talking Cubchoo. Did he just pun at her?

Yes. That happened.

Right. Not missing a beat here, since there are important things to worry about.]

Yes, it does -- are you all right? Where did your friend see this happen?

[bearlydressed]

Don't worry ma'am! It takes more than just a little powder to hurt this bear, rawr! [He gives Raine a confident smile. His head may be lumpy, but he's got to make sure a pretty lady like her knows that he's durable!]

Here, at Junes! [He turned his head away from the video feed for a moment and moved his arm just enough so that his warp band could show a Marowak standing off to the side, giving Teddie a bit more information.] He also says that he saw them run out the store shortly after. I don't think I was out that long, so they're probearly still nearby!
