Petite Étrangère

[lavieenmarron]

[In true Mairin-fashion, she absolutely must make a striking first impression!

By which we mean, she drops into Ultern, narrowly avoiding crashing into the sea by hanging off her overall suspenders from the bowsprit of a boat in Gateway Port.]

AAAAAAH!

Someone get me off this thing! Help! Heeeelp!

[A flailing, yelling human hanging off from a boat is usually enough to get anyone's attention. Kebi stares for a moment in disbelief, then glances around to see if he'd be spotted boarding the ship.

It doesn't look like too many would notice, so he times it so that no one's looking when he does. He then slithers over to where the human was hanging and coils around the bowsprit and over to the human, trying to appear as non-threatening as possible.]

W-wha...

[A snake-like Pokemon? Mairin craned her neck to see and her Chespin flailed a bit and tried to help support Kebi with its Vine Whip... Mairin's hoisted to safety!]

Thank you! Um, you are...?

[snakewithacape]

[Whew... That was... somewhat chaotic. Good thing that Chespin helped him or else it would've been a real struggle. Kebi politely thanks the Chespin for the help and oh look, the human's talking to him. He turns back to the Chespin.]

Er, may I ask what your trainer said? I'm afraid I can't understand humans.

[lavieenmarron]

['She's asking your name,' Chespie explained. 'We've never seen a Pokemon like you before!'

Mairin watched curiously as the two Pokemon communicated, trying to make out their words. Chespie's a little easier to understand, but Kebi... completely unfamiliar!]

[snakewithacape]

[It's almost as if Kebi's from a whole different world, right?]

Ah. I go by the name of Kebi. And I'm a Seviper and part of a guild that assists other Pokemon. May I ask what the name of you and your trainer are?

[lavieenmarron]

[Chespie hummed thouhgtfully. 'I've never heard of a guild... but that's really kind of you, Kebi! It's nice to meet you. Is a guild like a pack? Anyway, I'm Chespie! Her name is Mairin,' he said, while gesturing towards her, at which Mairin beamed happily, puffing with pride.]

I'm gonna learn how to Mega Evolve someday, just like Alain!

[Chespie blinked, then sighed in exasperation. 'Humans odn't Mega Evolve, though... only Pokemon do.']
