Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

[ulternnpc]

 

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

[Beloved child??????? Is that what Giratina calls his friends??????

Then again it's better than some names everyone else has called either of them by (himself included). Like who even names their kid "A"??? a speedrunner that's who. Barry as he's leading Giratina along makes a mental note to try and keep track of who his childhood friend was this time. (Dawn??? Heck, was it Lucas??? BOTH?)]

I'm sure Dawn's worried sick about you if you're not around in her party! So we gotta- ooh!

[Instead of focusing at the task at hand, there he goes heading straight for one of the food stalls.]

Look at that! Are those donuts? Let's get some-!?

[As he's looking back at Tina he's surprised to see the other floating right after him.]

Whoa, I didn't know you could still do that in this form!

[giratina]

[Tina should probably correct Barry's impression that he's Dawn's Pokémon, but decides it's not dire. Dawn herself will be able to clear things up when(??) they find her, anyway. Magnanimously he decides he'll look after Barry in her stead in the meantime, which means Barry and Giratina are now two dogs holding each others' leashes.

At Barry's exclamation, though.. Barry is younger, and nicer, but something about him reminds Tina of his jester back home. Getting excited at every little thing he can do... well, Tina is not immune to praise. He looks pleased as he settles on the ground again.]

I practiced.

[YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE?????????]

[bsodrival]

[Barry beaming wide but dropped his smile as the realization hit him: Giratina was currently in disguise. He's crossing his arms while his brows knitted together.]

Wait a sec is that a good idea? Wouldn't people notice you're not human if you do that?

[Or maybe it wasn't that out of place here for someone to casually be floating behind a fast paced 11 year old child?????

spoilers: it is out of place. Out of BOUNDS even oooooo-]

[giratina]

That is... true.

[Wilt...]

Forgive me. I have not communed with humans for many a year.

[Okay, he'll walk properly this time. Approaching the Donut Shop at a Sedate Pace]

[bsodrival]

[Barry feels a bad after how happy Giratina was but!!! He was in disguise of a reason! He had to be tough!

Just a little. Okay maybe a donut will help-

Which Barry is already charging over to.]

Woooow! There's a ton! Look, look they have more than one flavor too! Which one should I get? There's plain, chocolate...is that banana?! Which one do you think I should get, Girati-uuh...

[Oh heck. Oh no, what was he supposed to call him? He had been in such a hurry they made 0 plans. Absolutely none.]

[giratina]

"Tina" is a human name, is it not? I shall answer to it. [it's still mortifyingly simple, but Giratina should probably stay consistent.]

What does a "plain" flavor taste like? [Is it just bread???? Tina knows what a donut is in theory--Banette eats them-- but hasn't yet bothered himself.]

[bsodrival]

Tina...?

[Yeah, he's heard of that name before. He was pretty sure either Dawn or Lucas had that name once or twice. He's nodding to himself. Plus it was already a part of Giratina's name! It worked! Alright, awesome! Progress(???)!]

Plain flavor is plain flavor!

[Whatever that means! In any case Barry's digging for his wallet and slamming down money for two Sugar Doughnuts.]

Two plain donuts please!

Alright here you go, sonny!

[The smiling old man behind the stall quickly places round donuts into a bag before handing them to Barry. Napkins included! Barry thanking the man turned around as he stuck one hand into the bag and proceeded to hold one of the donut out to Tina.]

Let's find out what it's like together, Tina! Maybe it's like a poffin!

[giratina]

[Giratina accepts the doughnut. (it was nice of Barry to pay, but of course Tina does not even blink at the gesture. What the fuck is money??)
He places it in his mouth.

]

[bsodrival]

[The doughnut was nice and crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside. It tasted a lot like brown sugar, Barry realized as he munched away. So that's what the plain flavor tasted like?

While munching on his doughnut still he'll turn to Giratina to gauge his reaction. Unfortunately, it was a little hard for Barry to tell what went through the Legendary's mind.]

So whaddya think Tina? Do you like it?
