[004 - Action]

[ember_celica]

[Yang is in a park in the business district, leaning against the wall of one of the towers. While she does, she's idly tossing a ball up into the air, doing some impromptu juggling. While she does, though, a baby Mankey is crawling around.]

Awright, Punchy!

[She cheers at him. He barely walks, before he stumbles over onto his face.]

You can do it! Learn to walk! Go go go! C'mon!

[And the Mankey... stumbles over. Again. Yang's grin turns sheepish.]

...'kay, so I guess cheering you isn't magically teaching you to walk well all the time. Good to know!

Comments

[globetrotting]

Did they like it?-- Um, I know it's just breeding... [She laughs awkwardly, and begins to touch the end of a strand of her hair.]

But I've heard about people who'll breed a pokémon for you, for something in return.

[ember_celica]

They didn't seem to mind it, you know? No awkwardness or anything.

[She tilts her head to the side.] Yeah! People trade Pokémon by breeding sometimes, you know?

[globetrotting]

Have you ever done it before?

[ember_celica]

Sure. I bred my Eevee in exchange for a Pikachu's egg.

[globetrotting]

Oh! [She pauses, still- a little hesitant, but then she shakes her head, smiling.]

Sorry, I'm asking you these questions out of nowhere, and you don't even know me. [She holds out her hand.] My name is Blue. I've been interested in getting eggs before, but, I never really knew if it was right to pick and choose a pokémon that way.

[ember_celica]

[She shakes Blue's hand, with a good, firm grip.]

Nice to meet you. I'm Yang. It's cool, if the Pokémon are cool with it, you know? If they're fine with it, no big deal!

[globetrotting]

[She returns a good grip herself, giving it a shake before letting go.]

Right, you're right. It's hard to think of some of my pokémon breeding - I've known them for so long, since I was a kid. [...] Was your eevee fine with it?

[ember_celica]

Yeah, he didn't mind. I mean... Miller's kinda... you know, kinda stoic? I guess? But he lets me know if things bother him.

[globetrotting]

Oh, he sounds like my nidorino. [Which makes Blue smile a little more.] Or, he's very quiet, never makes a fuss. Not even when he was a baby.

[ember_celica]

Miller's more like a stone-cold badassed noir detective.

[globetrotting]

[That makes Blue laugh.] Hahaha! Okay, yeah, I wouldn't describe Helio like that. He's more like the caring husband who cooks and cleans for you by day, and silently kicks butt through the night.

[ember_celica]

[Yang grins and laughs at that, then she nods her head.] Yeah, that sounds pretty great too.

[globetrotting]

[Her giggles subside, still with a smile on her face.]

By the way, do you know anybody who has an eevee who might be - willing to breed one for somebody? I don't know if I could pay or... give something, maybe help teach one or two of their pokémon a handy move...?

[ember_celica]

Hey, I can do that for you! You could breed one of yours, or teach one of mine a move, or... you know, anything! I'm easy!

[globetrotting]

Really? [Oh, that would be...!] What pokémon do you have? If I could just spend some time with one, learn a little about them...

[A small pause.] Maybe we can meet up sometime with our pokémon? I'm going to be busy for a while, but if I meet your pokémon, I could see what I could teach them. [Orrr some other arrangement could be made.]

[ember_celica]

A whole bunch. Let's do it! I can bring mine, you bring yours, we figure out the details.

[globetrotting]

Okay! Can I take your information on my warp band? [Magical detail sharing on warp bands, which Blue holds out her band to show.] Then I'll contact you, and we can arrange a time we're both not too busy.

[ember_celica]

Oh yeah, for sure. Here, let's see--

[She taps her warp band a few times, then she holds it out for Blue in turn.]

[globetrotting]

[And a magical warp band person adding thingy majiggy happens. How awesome.]

Done! [She takes a look at her band, then puts her arm down beside her.] Thank you, Yang.

[She looks at the mankey, sighing (happily).] He's going to keep getting cuter, isn't he?

[ugghh pokémon are so cute.....!!!]

[ember_celica]

Hey, anytime, Blue!

[She nods her head, cheerfully, and looks down at Punchy. She nods in agreement with the other girl's assessment.]

He sure is. It's not fair to the rest of us.

[globetrotting]

[She stays still for a moment, looking at the mankey with a smile on her face, before she finally nods to Yang and takes a step towards the direction she had originally been going.]

It was nice meeting you. [A look to the mankey.] You and Punchy.

[ember_celica]

[Yang grins at Blue, then she waves her hand at her.]

Yeah! You too, Blue! Take it easy!
