[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!

[ember_celica]

Well... no, but me and a friend traded eggs our Pokémon had, and I have a good feeling!

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh, I see. ...I've never thought about doing that before! It would be like... trading Pokemon you don't want to actually give away. And you'd always think of your friend when you saw the baby, too.

[ember_celica]

Exactly! It's the sadness free option!

[a_gentle_boy]

That's really cool! Maybe I should try it, too...

[Lucas glances at Togepi meaningfully, who blinks back with her innocent baby Pokemon eyes.]

Er.

Probably with someone else.

...Actually, they're OK with it, right? It feels a little weird to tell my Pokemon to go... make eggs.

[ember_celica]

[For once, Yang looks a little serious.]

I thought about that. I think they are. They didn't seem to mind, and... I think it's how they're just kinda different than us, in some ways.

Different values, you know?

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas looks down at his... egg Pokemon again.]

I guess it's still a mystery, too, how it happens. I mean... maybe it's not what we think it is at all.

[Maybe the Egg Fairy brings them to Pokemon who become really close friends!!!]

[ember_celica]

[...wait does he not know how--]

[BIRDS AND BEES]

[WHAT DO]

2/2

[ember_celica]

[Then Yang laughs nervously like an idiot and takes a couple of steps back, holding both her hands up in the air.]

S-Sure, yeah, no clue, I'm sure it just... happens by magic or something, they'll explain some day, don't sweat it, sport, how about this weather!

[a_gentle_boy]

[????????]

Um.

The weather is... nice.

I think it's getting warmer. It's been pretty cold this winter.

[????????]

[ember_celica]

Heck yeah it's nice!

[D-Disengaged...?]

[a_gentle_boy]

...

Did I say something wrong just now? Sorry if you didn't want to talk about it - I guess I should just go ahead and talk to the people who would know best.

[Reengaged!]

[ember_celica]

Y-Yeah, there's people who know more than me and they'll... getcha taken care of, no problem!

[a_gentle_boy]

There's still so much to learn all the time... Maybe I should spend more time in class.

Um. Well, good luck with Mankey, miss! I'm sure he'll learn how to do it really soon.

[ember_celica]

R-Righto! Thanks for the help and the encouragement. Uh... and good luck! With your line of inquiry!

[She waves, cheerfully, yet... frightened.]

[a_gentle_boy]

Thanks! I'll see the two of you again soon!
