Ghosts and Lions and Dinosaurs, Oh My! [Closed]

[faithfulflame]

Who: Rei Hino & Ami Mizuno
What: Bonding with Pokemon and one another.
When: Week 96
Where: Hikawa Shrine, The Ruins, The Fertile Plains



The trip was set, the shrine was prepared for Grandpa Hino to take over, and everything seemed to be in order for Rei and Ami's little outing. They needed it, and Ami had practically ordered Rei to relax after the busy week of Soulfasting...so, this was it! They were going to find her a certain ghost, and Rei had wanted to check out the plains to the northwest....

There was just one problem.

"Ami, have you seen my Zoroark Ring? I can't find it anywhere."

"Well... it's always best to be prepared, Rei," she blushed as she responded. She was perhaps being a bit silly, but Ami was never ashamed to be over-prepared.

"Well, now sounds like a great time to let all the pokemon to have a bit of fun playing as well."

Although, Aurora was more inclined to just rest next to Casius.

[faithfulflame]

Nodding, that sounded nice enough, she let out her gang and for the most part they settled in and lounged around. Casius nuzzled up to Aurora, sniffing her hair and generally being his usual self.

"Well," Rei went on as she started unloading food and passing it to hungry monsters, "I think they mostly want to stretch and relax."

Eyeing the big dog, she smirked. "And they're getting on better, I think."

[allergictoloveletters]

Ami looked over to Aurora and Casius as she nosed him back and then smiled.

"Well, living together certainly helps. I think she's a bit less... ah... haughty as well. She understands that I love her and I think just felt a bit uneasy with how quickly I was bonding with other pokemon this past year. After all, before it was just Aurora, Minnie, and myself."

Somehow I lost this tag....so moving it along.

[faithfulflame]

"That's probably true. I've had a few like that, but they loosened up with time."

It's not as though either of them really fail to show affection to their companions.

The meal passes mostly quietly with small talk...but as they're getting to a meaty portion of it, there's a rustling in the grass at the foot of the hill and the sound of lips smacking.

"I think that we have visitors..."

[allergictoloveletters]

"Aurora was my first pokemon bond ever," at the call of her name, the giant electric cat came forward and gently nuzzled Ami's shoulder before lying down up against her back. "She's secretly very protective of all the pokemon, for all her worry," she laughed.

She came a bit more quiet at the rustling and merely smiled around her glass before glancing towards the grass, detecting every movement, every action.

"I think they're for you."

It's Fire/Normal!

[faithfulflame]

"For me?"

Rei sat up straight and looked down the hill as...a small brown and orange feline wandered out, licking it's chops. Having never seen it before, Rei blinked and stood up. It trundled closer, looking up expectantly.

"Ami-chan, what...types do you think that is?"

[allergictoloveletters]

"Fire/Normal type, which is why I said for you." She smiled though, how could she resist a cat? Aurora, merely watched the approaching feline with an idle gaze.

"Come here precious," she cooed, throwing Rei a poffin while she kept calling to the little pokemon.

[faithfulflame]

"Oh!" Rei caught the poffin and bent to offer it to the Pokemon. It wandered closer, hesitant to approach Casius and Aurora, but the big dog at least ignored him.

"He is truly a beautiful thing..." she went on, bringing out her Warp Band and attuning it. "Come here little one. Let us get a better look at you. And here, enjoy."

The Pokemon bounded forward now, taking the snack and entering that mental dialogue with Rei.

Ami watched with a smile, Hedy floating about curiously as she gazed at the little lion and made little noises of interest at Rei doing the same thing Ami had with her.

But ugh, look at this mess her bonded had on this blanket! She would need to reorganize this soon!

[faithfulflame]

And a few minutes later, the conversation is over and the little Pokemon leaps up into Rei's arms, almost bowling her over. She hugs it, rubbing her face against his head.

"Oh, you are such a sweetie. And you say your name is James? Alright. Well, James? This is Ami. And this is Hedi, Aurora, Casius..." and she goes around and does introductions, the little lion bowing his head to each in a magnanimous gesture.

"I didn't expect all this...but he was rather insistent that he get to come with me."
