Mingle Post

[kenfrompokemon]

[If you're listening to the radio today, there's a special announcement in the middle of the afternoon, after Ken's usual program has ended.]

-We interrupt this program for some special news! In Ohritori Island, a large swarm of Cutiefly have appeared in Route 2, near the Berry Farm! It seems they've drifted in from Alola. We ask any trainers to help with managing the swarm. A Cutiefly's natural habitat is in the Wildflower Cape, in Route 4, so we'd appreciate the help in relocating them there! So if you catch a lot of Cutiefly, please release them in Route 4 instead of anywhere else! I'd love to be there and do that myself, but I'm all the way at Chura Islands...

[Ken goes on to describe Cutiefly, it's habits and habitats. But maybe you're not listening to the radio, and doing something else instead?]

[[ooc: This is a mingle post, so I probably won't be replying much myself! If you've got anything you've been thinking about having your characters doing, but don't want to make a whole post about it, this is for you! Or you can go play around with Cutiefly. Maybe you'll encounter a shiny? The chances of meeting them are higher during swarms after all!]]

"Manzana's been having Cutiefly bounce off his head for ages, not just his own one here, but a bunch'a these wild ones are doin' it too... ask 'em why," Buson explained, before adding thoughtfully. "Also is it true that they can see auras and stuff, or is that somethin' humans made up?"

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie happily greets everyone, including the Cutiefly, and listens to the request.

"Oh! Yeah, I'd be happy to!"

[ulternnpc]

"Gracias Evie! I appreciate this very much." Manzana beamed. Manzana's Cutiefly will zip back over to Manzana, bumping her entire face into his.

"He's just like a flower!" She's giggling, while her trainer held both of his hands out for Cutiefly to perch on.

[-shrieks- it never… sent my reply…]

[buson]

“That one’s Manzana’s Cutiefly, what’s she sayin’, Evie? Can you translate for us?”

Aurgh, cyberspace!

[radleyslittleevie]

"Sure!"

Evie listens, head tilted. "She says you're like a flower!" she says to Manzana.

it happens to all of us at some point lol

[ulternnpc]

"What?" Manzana laughed, as he reached to gently pet his Cutiefly with one finger. "What a silly girl, I'm no flower."

His Cutiefly simply smiled before moving to zip around Manzana's head. Being used to Cutiefly's amount of energy, Manzana smiled before turning his attention over to Evie.

"That's right, Evie--can you ask? Is it true that Cutiefly can see auras?"

[he's gross and ridiculous sometimes]

[buson]

Buson jerking his thumb at Manzana and mouthing "He wouldn't believe me!" at Evie.

Well, he felt vindicated, at least! "Told ya they think you're a flower... it's probably why my sock scared 'em off! They gotta bow to the glory of BO, ain't that right, Muk?"

Well, Muk's pretty happy with the idea of a stench being a point of pride!

"Now, let's just find out if it's just that flower shop scent or somethin' else..."

[radleyslittleevie]

"Okay!" Evie looks back to the Cutiefly. "Can you see auras? That sounds so fun!"

[ulternnpc]

"It just sounded a little farfetch'd to me. That's all." Manzana gave a weak protest. He couldn't keep it up given what his own Cutiefly have stated. Speaking of which she's buzzing away to fly around Evie.

"Auras? Oh the pretty colors everyone has! Yes I do! Sometimes it's hard since Manzana looks like a flower hehe!" Cutiefly giggled. "Do you not see it too?"

[buson]

“Man, we’re in like… a region plucked outside’a time an’ space… and you think smellin’ like flowers or a Pokemon seein’ auras is too Farfetch’d?”

[radleyslittleevie]

"I don't see them, but it sounds so pretty!" Evie says. "I wonder what Radley's aura would look like."

She looks to the humans. "They do see auras!"

sorry!! I thought I replied to this! /(^O^)\

[ulternnpc]

"It's just...well..." Manzana gave an awkward chuckle, before looking over to Evie. His expression does light up when Evie confirmed about the auras. "That's splendid! ...so I must...really look like a flower to them. Ahaha..."

Manzana gave a sheepish smile while rubbing the back of his neck. It's still so weird to him!

"Who's Radley? Is he your friend?" Cutiefly buzzed around Evie. "I'm sure he has a very pretty aura too!"

[oh, oops! I thought you were just busy + Buson's gonna attempt fleeing]

[buson]

Belatedly, Buson began to break into a sweat and feel self-conscious and nervous. It felt a bit too close to that whole thing with Cubburn sensing purity of heart or whatever. He didn't wanna think about what his was like! Best that the conversation focus on other folks.

"Your trainer, huh... I hope you get back home to him someday soon," Buson said sympathetically.

He was always on her mind, wasn't he?

"Well, it's been real, it was nice seein' you all, but y'see, I gotta go, or I'll be late for work, so..." Buson waved casually. "See ya around, Manzana, Evie, Cyclizar..."

[radleyslittleevie]

"Radley is my person!" Evie says cheerfully to the Cutiefly. "I love him so much!"

She looks at Buson in surprise. "You're leaving already?"

[ulternnpc]

"Me too! Manzana loves me lots and gives me pets and play with me too!" Cutiefly buzzed in response yet again. "Does Radley do the same with you?"

"Ah..." At the mention of Evie's trainer, Manzana too sent a sympathetic look. Although, she seemed to be having a good time with Cutiefly which was enough to make Manzana smile. He does shift his attention away from Buson, briefly wondering about his shift in attitude. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Evie. Turning to her, and then to Buson, Manzana smiled faintly. "Hey, Attila."

He called out to him.

"...have a nice day at work, okay?" He'll then turned to Evie with a smile. "Evie, you should send him off. You know, for the best of luck."

[the rest can be Manzana and Evie one-on-one! ^^]

[buson]

He looked back, and smiled a bit. "Thanks... you too, Manzana. You guys take care!"

He gave Evie a broader grin and even gave her a playful little salute. "Planning on goin' on another trip after work's done too. We could use all the luck we can get!"

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah, he does!" Evie beams. "I just hope ... I can find him again.... I haven't seen him since Team Rocket took me away."

She looks to Buson. "Oh ... will you be gone a long time? I hope not...."

\o/

[ulternnpc]

"Team Rocket?" Cutiefly seemed confused, but zipped around Evie. "Don't be sad! I'm sure you'll find your human again! I can always find Manzana wherever he goes!"

Manzana smiled back as he waved Buson off. He will turn to Evie, with his expression softening.

"Don't be sad Evie--no matter where he goes, we'll always be under the same sky." He smiled before turning to his own Pokemon. "How about this? Why don't we go on our own trip? Then when you see Attila again you can tell him all about it, and you should ask him about his own trip too."

:)

[radleyslittleevie]

"Really?! That sounds amazing," Evie says dreamily.

She perks up at the suggestion. "Yeah! Where can we go?"

[ulternnpc]

"I was thinking of going up to Route 4 since the flowers are beautiful there. We could even have a little picnic. What do you think, Evie? We may even meet more Cutieflies there."

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie perks up in delight. "Yeah! Let's do it!"

[ulternnpc]

"Do you want to hop a ride on my Cyclizar, again?" Manzana chuckled. "He loves giving people and Pokemon rides so I think that would make him very happy to have someone sitting on top of him."

[radleyslittleevie]

"That sounds so fun!" Evie exclaims. "I'd love to!"

[ulternnpc]

"Wonderful, do you hear that Cyclizar?" Manzana smiled as his Cyclizar excitedly zipped around him. He'll then run over to Evie before lower himself back down again for her to hop on.

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie jumps on happily. "You must have so much fun taking everyone around!" she says to him.
