Them? Ohh... [She considers, and then Ashley lets out a small laugh.] They're doing pretty well, yeah. Even the, ah, newest arrival.

[Little shiny egg, little shiny pony.]

...But you know, Agatha's still holding on to that Everstone. I think she wants to be the strongest Litwick in the world, funny, right?

Newest... Oh! I know what you mean.

[She's got a shiny little Cubone following her now. He's a brave little boy.]

It makes sense. I think Bright doesn't want to evolve either. She'd rather stay as an Espurr, so I went out and bought an everstone just for her too. [She remembers something and sighs.] And my ghost pokemon keep trying to steal it too.

[Oh boy, ghosts... Ashley frowns, though Rakka can't see.] Ugh, that is just so like them, isn't it?! Why can't all of them be behaved like Jadis...? [Bless her Froslass, the one well-mannered ghost.] I wish there was a manners school for them or something, you know?

[she can hear her frowning ;n;]

Me to, b-but I guess that's just the way some of them are. At least they're just trying to have some fun, hehe. [And not, well, trying to suck out their souls. At least deliberately.]

They aren't behaving too badly, are they Ashley? Does that Phantump still follow you around?

That- oh, ah, oh. [Ashley sounds suddenly a little flustered.] I didn't tell you, huh? She, um... Yeah, she does, but that's because I caught her awhile back.

Oh? Oh!

[O-oh....]

You did, really? W-well, uh... was it hard capturing her? Is she behaving any better now?

[Rakka's pretty curious now.]

Oh, it. It wasn't, really, she... She got on the wrong side of a gang of cat Pokémon. I saw her getting beat-up and I couldn't just leave her, and...

[She sighs.]

I guess I just grew used to her. She's... She was just lonely. [...In fact, it sounds like she has the little tree there with her, because there's a soft Phantump yawn.]

...Ashley, that was so kind of you. And you even fought your fear! [Is she quietly in awe? Maybe. Just a little.]

Is, is that her right now?

[A small, awkward laugh.] Yeeep, that's her. That's Samara. I- it wasn't really all that. ...And having something so devoted to you isn't that bad, really.

Hehe! I know what you mean, my Phantump...

[A sudden gasp.]

M-my Phantump!

[?]

Yeah...? What about it, is something wrong?

O-oh... No. No, everything's fine. [ahem. eheh] It's just, I realized something: I have a Phantump, named Spooky.

[AKA: "aaaah please don't hurt me waaaah"]

And you have Samara.... a-and they've never met before.

[oh no what a cute name for a ghost, rakka]

Ohhh, you're right?! Rakka, I completely forgot! [that time you catch a pokemon you're afraid of for a friend but it's not the same pokemon are they looking back on this and laughing at last?]

Do- you know, we should let them have a, um, play-date! Where are you right now?

[Oh goodness they are finally able to laugh about that little mess now. Poor Rakka had tried so hard.]

Yes, that's a great idea! But- uh... right now, I'm in Azalea town. [This might be a long trek for a play-date.]

M-maybe we can still do it!

Edited 2016-10-11 09:17 (UTC)

Ohhh... I'm still in Goldenrod. Umm... Let's see, we could...

[She hasn't used the teleporters yet so. She can't suggest that oops.]

Damn, uh. ...What about a temporary trade?

We could, um...

[the teleporters are... weird, Ashley. Rakka doesn't exactly support them, especially after the amount of static she got the last time she went through one.]

A... temporary trade? What do you mean?

There's this mechanic, you know, where you can send one of your Pokémon to someone else in exchange for one of theirs? And its really easy, I saw- I saw someone at the Pokémon Center, you know? Doing that. Like, either I send Samara to you or you send Spooky to me, and they can have a little meetup. So even if we aren't in the same place, they'll be!

A mechanic, huh... [Oh. Wait. That's because they're in a "game". Wasn't that just what Dave told her a long time ago? Definitely something like that.]

You did? Wow, um... [hmmm] O-okay! Then, we can absolutely do this! I know there's a Pokemon center in Azalea, and you're in Goldenrod... Trading one of them should be easy, right?

[it should be.]

Maybe I can send Spooky over there?

Yeah! [...why is she so enthusiastic about more ghosts]

Yours doesn't make too much trouble, right...? I have some Pokémon that can corral anyone if it gets to that point, but, you know.

No, no she doesn't cause trouble... Uh, not anymore anyway. [they may have had a talk, or two, about it]

He's really been on his best behavior for me recently. Ever since... the ghost festival, that is, he never tried to scare me or anything.

[Little guy didn't want his trainer coming down with a bad case of being dead.]

Okay... Okay, then, send let's take this conversation to a Pokémon Center! Send Spooky over and I...hmm... What kind of visitor would you like? What about...oh, you said you have an Espurr? I've got a Meowstic, Eliot would probably love to meet another cat!

[A beat.]

Maybe literally. He's a bit of a slut when it comes to cats.

Right. [And judging from the background noise, Rakka's already started walking. The gentle sounds of crunching leaves underneath her boots makes for excellent white noise.]

Hmm? Oh yeah! I forgot, you have an Espurr too. And it evolved? [Ah... a-ah. What an interesting factoid, Ashley, Rakka needs to stop for a second and think that over.]

Ah... Bright never seems to want to evolve, but I'm sure that she would love some company anyway.

Oh, don't worry about it. Like I said- Agatha'd agree with Bright, you know? [If Rakka's moving, Ashley is too. Walk and talk.] Eliot didn't really care, but I think- whatever they want, they can get. It's okay that she doesn't want to evolve.

... Yeah, it was just fine to me. But the hardest part was finding an everstone. [hehe.

Soon enough, the music coming through the Pokegear changes to reflect Rakka's new surroundings: the Azalea town pokemon center.]

Okay, I'm here.

[Is there an echo in here? Pokémon Center music on Ashley's end too. She's setting things up at the computer.]

Alright... There should be a notice for you, in three, two... twoooo... [tfw everything loads slower than you think it- oh THERE WE GO] one!

[>INCOMING TRADE REQUEST FROM TRAINER ASHLEY! WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACCEPT?
