Day 2 - Double evolution; action

[at_too_low]

[Today, some people on the streets of Union might encounter a rather worried-looking boy (or a young man, depending on your point of view), running around, obviously searching for something or someone. He also seems to take great care not to bump into people or touch anything metallic - and if you look closer, his hair is practically standing on end (at least the hat helps hide that) and the air sparks and crackles around him sometimes. Uh, probably it's a good idea to keep some distance away from him.

And what he's looking for is--

Nyoom!

Some other (or even the same) people on the streets of Union might be startled by something suddenly whirring past them. It's vaguely white-ish in colour and oval in shape, and--and it's a Togetic, obviously enjoyed the newly acquired Flying type. It zooms around, not paying much attention to what or who it almost bumps into - you can actually hear a kind of high-pitched... giggling? For someone who evolves with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, it certainly doesn't seem concerned enough with its trainer to even come near him, if you exclude zooming past him to tease him]

Ack--Togepi, come back here! Er, should I even still call her-- Togetic, come back here! We need to at least check-- yes I can see you're okay, but still! Togetic!

[... Yeah, the poor guy is getting pretty exhasperated. Everyone is welcome to help him get his Pokemon under control, help his Pokemon get MORE out of control, or just watch and laugh.]

[ Haruka has an Ice-type Pokémon now. You know what that means?

It means, while she's keeping it at the theater to assess what it's like, she's buying a lot of ice. Her hands are full and her Pidgeotto's at the Breeding Center, so she's brought her Murkrow shopping with her as a spotter.

Who happens to spot a blur heading his way, but not in time to avoid getting all turned around as it whizzes past. Feathers scatter everywhere. ] Krow! Krow!

[ And now he's angry. Haruka sighs. ] Don't chase--

[ Too late. Murkrow has to give that Togetic a piece of his mind! What do you think you're doing, causing trouble for people?! ]

[Alas, Togetic is way too immature to listen to other people (or Pokemon)'s opinions. She flies right past Murkrow again, high speed. Yeah well what do you think you're doing, being a loser and getting in her way?]

[at_too_low]

[And, sadly, her trainer was witness to all this. He looks miserable and almost ready to sag to his knees]

Togetic! Stop--don't pick fights with people!

[actsmagnificent]

Let them hash it out.

[ Now that it's come to this, Haruka is curious what will happen: her Murkrow started out as the worst kind of bully, so it's interesting to see him berating others' bad behavior. So she's standing there with her hands in her pockets, her pallet of ice on the ground next to her, looking serious but not concerned. As long as they don't involve any further passers-by.... ]

They'll finish up soon.

[ And sure enough, here comes Murkrow, dive-bombing Togetic to try and catch her. Want to make something of this, huh? Just you and him! Let's go! ] Krow! Murkrow!

[Atsuro is a little taken aback - he didn't expect this lady to take this so calmly... on the other hand, it helps him calm down somewhat, too. He gives a nod, a little confused]

Alright... Are you sure it's okay to let them fight, though? I mean, they could get hurt... A-and your Murkrow's a dark type, they're weak to fairy...

[Thankfully, though, Togetic doesn't seem too concerned with type advantages or disadvantages. She lets out a shriek that's both indignant and triumphant. YOU WANNA GO, PUNK? Bomb-diving her will work, but she's going to... yeah, headbutt Murkrow in return. She really doesn't have any manners.]

[ Haruka just keeps watching. She's definitely aware of the type disadvantage; in fact, that's one reason she wants to see how this turns out. Her Murkrow never learns his lesson except through firsthand experience. Getting his feathery behind handed to him by an egg fairy ought to do the trick.

They collide in midair, and Murkrow tumbles back, shaking out his beak. ] Krooooooww!

[ Have another Peck attack: it's his default when he isn't thinking. Haruka's lips curl slightly. Murkrow's left himself wide open. One Fairy move, and he's done. ]
