[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...]

I'm not going to hurt you, little one. But I'm not going to let you go running off into the city alone. It's not a good idea. And your friend is worried about you.

[The vines don't let up, instead drawing back the Oddish and depositing it into Raine's blanket.]

[Raine takes a few steps forward, though stops moving once the Oddish is drawn to the blanket instead.

The Pokemon still unhappily squirms in the vines, though it also snuggles closer to the blanket, trying to hide in it. Which isn't exactly easy to do when trying to get the vines off.]

There, aren't you happy to see your blanket? You can't keep running all over town like this, Kerri. I'm sure the nice lady has places she'd like to go.

[What a stubborn little plant.]

[Once the blanket is wrapped around the Oddish, Yukiko's vines retreat, vanishing into her sleeves.]

No, it's alright. Trainers have to help one another sometimes. But...uh...what got her so riled up?

[Once the vines retreat, the Oddish curls up as best it can in the blanket.

And... strangers asking questions. Of course that was to be expected, with this situation. Raine frowns a little, but it can't really be helped.]

Thank you. She's likely just feeling overstimulated right now... there's been a lot of change these last few weeks.

Oh. Well...yes, there certainly has.

[Yukiko bends down and rubs Cassandra's horn, then starts scritching her face too.]

It's been crazy for everyone. But it's all taken care of now. She'll be alright. I didn't feel any injuries when I had her. [A pause.]

What's your name, Miss?

She'll be fine once we get back to the room.

[She shrugs a little. Of course it had been crazy for everyone, and it was hardly as if she was being specific about what changes.]

... It's Raine Sage. And yourself?

[Well. Yes.]

Yukiko Amagi. A pleasure, Miss Sage.

[So formal...]

Miss Amagi then? And yes, though I'm sorry for the circumstances.

Just Yukiko is fine. And don't worry about it. Trainers stick together, you know.

[Calling up that Rapidash again...]

Just call me again, if you need help. Though, if she runs off a lot? Maybe try and head to the Scorched Forest and bond a Growlithe or Houdour? They're as good as Cass is when it comes to noses.

Then please, call me Raine.

And I'll... keep that in mind. Although I was wondering where you had met Cass, actually.

Oh! I met her in Refuge. It's a bit further than a day-trip, but Absol live in the tunnels down there. I'm thinking of going back down there with a friend after Soulfasting, if you'd like to come along.

Hmm... that's to the south, isn't it? I'll have to keep it in mind and see how she's adjusting.

Correct. Through the Wildwoods, which...I don't recommend going through alone. The ghosts there are rather hostile.

Just let me know, alright?

Ghost types, hm... oh and I will, Yukiko. Thank you.

[Aw, and look at that. The silly Oddish has either fallen asleep or is pretending to sleep. More points on the latter. The Pikachu just looks grumpy at the fact that they're hanging out in the alley.]
