6th Patrol

[commissionergrump]

Near Caldera:

Volcanos are hot. This is something Gordon's known for a long time, even growing up in Union. Just how hot has to be experienced to be believed, however. It's important to learn new things, however.

Gordon is forgoing his usual hat and magically reinforced coat. His white button up shirt is sticking to him as is, through a combination of sweat and the rain storm Mike the Blastoise kicked up to give the pair some relief. He tugs at his suspenders, airing himself a bit, and wipes his brow, eye always scanning the horizon. It seems he's looking for something.

Union, days later:
An unseasonably warm day in Union still feels like heaven after multiple days spent in Caldera, and Gordon and some partners seem intent on enjoying it. He sits on a sleeping Rhydon, a lazily lounging stoutland by his side. A blastoise stands in the little used intersection, water cannons spraying water up into the air where it rains down as a harmless spray, like a fire hydrant with the top taken off.

Union

[incousinswithyou]

[an awesome looking Roserade appears, cape fluttering gently in the wind! She strikes a pose, sunlight streaming down behind her for maximal drama - and then chirrups happily and skips on over to the Blastoise fountain.]

Re: Union

[commissionergrump]

[Gordon glances to the dramatic little thing, smirking. As she skips over to enjoy the fountain, a head peeks up over the Stoutland, a little Riolu, cautiously taking in the new arrival and the city as a whole.]

[The blastoise, for its part, smiles.]

Sup?

[incousinswithyou]

[she's trying her best! It's hard, striking poses and pulling off one-liners.

Roserade grins up at Blastoise in response, and then can't help but twirl a little in "rain."]

It's a really hot day to be fighting crime!

[also she's not that great with the secrecy thing either]

[commissionergrump]

[Outting yourself, at least by proxy, to the cops would count as basic failure of secret identity, yeah.]

Kind of a hot day in general. I wanted to just make it actually rain, but Dad doesn't want me changing the weather inside cities.

[He glances back to Gordon, noticing the Riolu peeking over. He smirks, and nods his head over, encouraging the quiet baby to join them.]

[incousinswithyou]

[shhh, she's trying. Sort of.

Roserade takes a moment to think about it, and then nods.] Yeah, it'd work better at the park. Or outside! Just not inside. [insert serious nod here. Somebody might have tried something once.

And if Riolu joins them, Roserade will chirrup happily at the baby.]

[commissionergrump]

[Riolu seems on the quiet side, but crawls up over the Rhydon, coming to investigate the fountain, blinking as a drop lands right on the tip of their nose. It glances up at the Roserade, and, as if remembering something, bows their head briefly.]

Hello, ma'am.

[incousinswithyou]

[Roserade crouches, smiling. Somemon has experience with the young'uns.]

Hi! I'm Lulu. What's your name?

[okay, so she probably forgot about the secret identity thing too]

[commissionergrump]

[The Riolu looks up at Lulu, hesitating a bit.]

Ken. I... haven't spent much time with humans before.

[incousinswithyou]

Really? Did you live in outside the city before?

[Lulu definitely isn't a shy one, no.]

[commissionergrump]

Near the volcano. He seemed nice, and his friends are strong.

[incousinswithyou]

Oooh. Welcome to the city! The humans here are really nice! Though they do weird things sometimes...

[commissionergrump]

[The Riolu looks at the Blastoise.]

The pokémon too.

[The Blastoise just laughs at this, grinning broadly, fine with being considered a bit weird.]
