[Action] Let's Talk to Pokémon!

[sixwholeplates]

[Backdated to the 11th.]

[Cecilia talked to Apollo and Lucas about the same thing: needing to talk to Pokémon to find out if they had seen any iron lately. It seems like a good idea to her, though it came from Apollo. But she can do that -- at least with ones that talk. And thus, here she waits, near the indicated place.]

[A huge, ancient oak stands up behind her, and sits on the crest of a hill. It makes it stand out. It's hard to miss. Being short, Cecilia is just dwarfed by it.]

[But, worst of all... she doesn't know Lucas's name.]

[Nor does she know Apollo's age. Both of those things will soon be remedied though.

It's subtle, but there's a faint rustling of the leaves in the treetops moving towards Cecilia's position, branches bending for an instant before snapping back into place. It becomes increasingly louder as it approaches until it would be hard not to notice. The sound stops abruptly in the thick canopy near her, then a bit more rustling, quieter this time, comes from that spot.

A figure drops down next to her and lands in a crouch before standing, a red-haired boy in an old shin-length green coat with a large feathered amulet around his neck. The way his coat billowed as he descended would have allowed her to see that under the coat is worn dull green clothing, a brown leather courier bag, and a pair of very beat-up brown boots. Saying that he's 5'1" would be generous. He's most definitely not an adult.]

Bonding

[They'd stopped for a break once they had reached the canyon, taking the opportunity to have something to eat before they started asking the locals if they'd seen any iron ore. Apollo had stepped away from the group for a moment to find an unobtrusive spot where he was unlikely to be leaving marks in someone's territory (and because he'd long ago learned that most humans would prefer not to have to watch). His business completed, he starts heading back to the others, using his Child of the Verdant Forest ability to mentally "listen" for any Pokémon who might be nearby.]
