Hey. Sorry for not being much of a people person of late. And for skipping out on the mission. I heard about it and- Well. I know people have their own pets for comfort here... But not everyone does.

I've got friendly pokemon, so if anyone wants to spend time around an animal, they'd be up for all the attention you can give them and then some. [There's small laugh as Eva grins.]

I'll be in the stone garden for those interested.

[And indeed she is, with 'Nona at her side.]

...did you say Pokémon? As in, cuddly creature with huge destructive powers?

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yeah. I've got a few with me.

[monkeyinthewrench]

Seriously? Pikachu's real?

[ But even he can be serious sometimes. He sobers up. ]

All right, I'll head over. We've got a lot of people in medical, and the rest of us had a lot of patching up to do.

[ He hustles over to the car and waves. She must be the trainer. And is that a Ninetales? It's so...fox-like. ]

Hi. So, uh...I'm Jake, nice to meet you. What are your names?

[ He keeps a respectful distance, aware that many animals need time to warm up to a human. ]

action forever!

[mtsilver_conquor]

['Nona's ears prick towards Jack, but otherwise the fox is content to sit besides Eva.]

I'm Eva, and this is 'Nona- you can come closer if you want, just mind the tails.

[[There's a bit of a wince, there, because that is a lot of tail.] If you want, I can tell you a bit about him? And pikachū, too, if you like.

[monkeyinthewrench]

Oh, sure. I'm listening.

[ Jake drops into position about arm's length away from the creature. So majestic. ]

How long have you been together?

[mtsilver_conquor]

Ten years, now. [There's a fond smile as she gives the pokemon a scratch behind an ear.] I caught him as a rokon back during my Journey, and he's been on my team ever since.

[monkeyinthewrench]

A...what? Isn't this a Ninetales?

[ Jake isn't the most on the up and up, he hasn't played through everything. ]

But he's a very good boy. Can I say hi?

[ If allowed, he'll gently offer an cupped palm under Nona's nose, a safe distance to let him approach at his pace. ]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Sure, if that's what you call them? [She doesn't actually know all these fangled English pokemon names!] Arkeans -my people- call them kyūkon. The juvenile stage is known as rokon and is a red-orange colour.

Of course- he's really friendly and good with kids, too. My baby sisters adore him, so...

['Nona moves into sniff at the hand, then butts against it. Pets now, please and thank you.]

[monkeyinthewrench]

Sounds good. Hey bud.

[ Yes he will pet! He pets gently, smiling at Nona. ]

So what's it like to be a trainer? Do people really leave to travel the world alone when they're ten?

[mtsilver_conquor]

[And that is a very happy fox -and a tail covered Eva, who shoves them off with a small laugh and fond eye roll.]

Ten?! [And then she's looking horrified.] Not at ten, gods no. I'd trust a ten-year-old with her own pokemon on an errand that involves a teleport to the next city over, but not out in the wilds. For all pokemon like Princess and 'Nona are tame, they are still dangerous and willing to attack people. Like, that's how I meet Princess. He jumped out at me.

[And that was more than a little terrifying, given she honestly thought she'd get her face chewed off by a clefairy!] We leave at around 13 or 14 years old when we are considered mature enough to be dropped into the wilds with a pokemon and make it to the next village or town.
