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!]]

[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.

[ulternnpc]

"I take Manzana and Anemone around a lot!" Cyclizar responded while moving around his trainer swiftly now that Evie is on top of him. Manzana laughed.

"Cylizar is very happy to have a friend on his back." He'll comment while beginning to lead the way. All the while a few more Cutieflies, which aren't his will follow along clearly mistaking Manzana for a flower, yet again.

[radleyslittleevie]

"That's so nice! I'd love to help like that!" Evie says dreamily.

She beams at the Cutieflies. "Hi!"

[ulternnpc]

"It is nice!" Cyclizar agreed. Manzana meanwhile looked over and chuckled.

"Are you two getting along?" He will however look puzzled by Evie's greeting before stopping to take a look around. "Oh, is someone nearby?"

Manzana questioned, oblivious to the new Cutieflies that gently clung to strands of his hair.

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah! And there's a whole bunch of new friends coming with us!" Evie says.

[ulternnpc]

"Oh?" Manzana glanced around not realizing the new tagalongs. His Cyclizar laughed, having Manzana turning to look at them. "Are there more Cutieflies stuck on me?"

[radleyslittleevie]

"Yeah, a whole lot!" Evie said.

[ulternnpc]

"Goodness, me..." he chuckled. "What am I going to do with our little friends?"

Despite that, he's smiling clearly amused by the Cutieflies who were hitching a ride on him.

"We almost match, Cyclizar." He'll look over to his Cyclizar who stopped, looked up at Manzana. His eyes will light up before whirling around his trainer a few times and dashing forward, clearly excited. "Ah--be careful not to make Evie dizzy, Cyclizar!"

He'll call after his own Pokemon with jogging after him.

[radleyslittleevie]

Far from dizzy, Evie likes it. “Wheee!” she exclaims.

[ulternnpc]

Seeing both Cyclizar and Evie having fun put a smile to Manzana's face. Although a part of him hoped he didn't have to chase after them all the way to their destination.

"Don't go too far ahead of me, you two!" He'll call out. All the while he glanced over, trying to see if the Cutieflies were managing to hang on. Not that he could get a look as they were hanging on his head.

Cyclizar meanwhile will slow down, turn and called out to Manzana.

"C'mon, let's go! C'mon, c'mon!" He'll speak of course in the Pokemon language.

[radleyslittleevie]

"We won't!" Evie says. "You need to come too!"

[ulternnpc]

Watching Cyclizar and Evie ahead, Manzana couldn't help but smile. He stopped for a moment, earning his Cutiefly to playfully bump up to his cheek. Laughing to himself he gently lifted his Cutiefly into his hand.

"The wind, it's nice as usual. For a moment it just made me think a little about..." he shook his head before calling out to both Cyclizar and Evie. "Here I come!"

He'll give chase after them, laughing. It was better to let the past lay, anyway.

[radleyslittleevie]

Evie watches, encouraging him to catch up.
