Hi Tobias, it's Shaun. I just wanted to see how you and your pokemon were doing. How's your Munna?

[wing_attack]

We're doing mostly okay. Powers doesn't seem very happy about all of the shaking, though. And Tiny - one of those cats that fell out of the sky - isn't doing too well with it either.

What about you?

OR NOT BACKDATED oh well FEELS AHOY

[neededlassie]

You got one of those little cats too?

[Well. Shaun got three. But they're a matched set.]

I-I'm mostly okay, too, I guess. Bella's not feeling good with all the shaking either.

WHATEVER WORKS

[wing_attack]

Yeah, I did. He hid in my shirt for a while.

... Powers is kind of... it's hard to tell what she's thinking.

[neededlassie]

Oh, that's cute. I feel bad for them, they were really scared.

Really? I guess maybe it's easier with a Musharna, because sometimes Bella's mist changes color when she doesn't feel good.

[wing_attack]

Maybe. I think she's just quiet by nature. Which isn't a bad thing, I guess.

Tobias-san!

[ And have a Mimi running up to you. Her smile is a a cheerful as ever, but there's a little bit less of a spring in her step than usual. ]

I knew I'd find you here! You said to tell you how my gym battle went, right? 'Cause I just finished!

[action]

[wing_attack]

[Aw Mimi. Tobias looks up, curious.]

Yeah! How'd it go?

[Regal chirps encouragingly.]

[action]

[sincereheart]

Well...

[ Mimi looks down at her feet. ]

...I kind of lost! His Pokémon were really strong! I thought mine were pretty good, but Palko fainted right away! And Chira knows an electric attack, or at least I think it's an electric attack - she shoots lightning out of her ears - but she only managed to take down one of his Pokémon! Oh, I probably shouldn't have had her battle when she was having all those headaches yesterday... Do you think she'll hate me now?

[wing_attack]

... I don't think she'll hate you, but... you do know that Grass types take double damage from Flying types, right?

[sincereheart]

They do? Well, that explains why Hanemaru didn't survive very long either!

[ There is a contemplative pause. ]

So, um... what types of Pokémon take less damage from Flying types? You're kind of a flying expert, Tobias-san!

[wing_attack]

Electric, Rock, and Steel. And Flying types take double damage from Electric, Rock, and Ice types. ... Hm. I wonder if there's any electric types nearby. Someone told me that there's a small yellow sheep called Mareep somewhere on the routes nearby. It's supposed to be Electric type. And it seems like the kind of Pokemon you might like.

[Small, cute, and fluffy. ... Girly girls like that, right?]

[sincereheart]

Oh, wow! A cute little sheep! I'd absolutely love one! I don't think I have any Electric types yet, unless Chira is one? But I think she only knows one Electric attack, so maybe not! Oh, a sheep! How darling!

[wing_attack]

I don't know, but I'm not exactly an expert in a lot of these things... I just like Flying types. Maybe we could go look for one of those together, though?

[sincereheart]

I'd love to! Let's go on a sheep-finding mission, Tobias-san!

[wing_attack]

All right! Let's go!

[... He just has to figure out which way to go... this way! He starts heading off towards Route 32.]

[sincereheart]

[ Mimi cheerfully follows behind him. If anything is guaranteed to put that spring back into her step, it's fun exciting bonding time with friends! ]

You said these sheep are yellow, right, Tobias-san? I guess they probably won't be too hard to find, then! I've never seen a yellow sheep! I hope they're adorable!

[wing_attack]

I guess they are? I'm not a very good judge of cute.

[sincereheart]

Oh, don't be silly, Tobias-san! Your Pokémon are all super cute! Well, I guess Rachel's more cool than cute, now that she evolved, but still! And you're pretty cute too, you know!

[wing_attack]

I - wait what?

[Uhhhhhh.]

[sincereheart]

Oh, don't worry! I'm not interested in you, Tobias-san! You're super old! Plus, my heart miiiight belong to someone else! And also you have a girlfriend, right? So I'm sorry, but you can't date me! That's final! I just meant you have a cute face, that's all! I bet you broke a lot of hearts back home!
