[Ahh, Route 1.

Lovely, scenic Route 1.

Kirino's Pokémon (his Swablu, and a recently acquired Milotic) are both out to enjoy the lovely weather, and Kirino...

... is currently being harassed by a small army of ghost-types. There's a good number of Shuppets about as well as a Misdreavus that's taken a liking to yanking on his pigtails.

Kirino really, really just looks like he's resigned himself to all this, however, rather than panicking and flailing and trying to drive them away like he was a few minutes ago.]

You've got to be kidding m--OW! [Stupid Misdreavus.]

[facedesk]

See? You just wanted to play with Kirino-kun, right?

[He's holding still, his hands flat and open to show he doesn't want to hurt her or anything.]

Wait, you're probably a girl, huh... Misdreavus-chan, then.
If you want, you can play with me and my Pokemon instead; I don't think Kirino-kun likes having you around as much as I would.

[Yep, he's just talking to a wild Pokemon, nbd. Just carry on catching that Shuppet of yours bro, he'll be back to you in a sec.]

[doingthemistything]

[He's still staring down the ball...

... Is it just as nerve-wracking in the game as it is for real?!

The Misdreavus... seems to have taken a liking to Hayami, from the looks of it. She'll certainly take Hayami up on that offer for playing with him and his Pokémon!]

[facedesk]

[Yes, it definitely, definitely is, Kirino.

... Meanwhile - Hayami reaches into the little pouch on the side of his bag, pulling out an empty Pokeball and putting it on the ground.]

Alright. It's there if you want to be a part of my team, Misdreavus-chan - but we can just play for today, if that's all you want.

[doingthemistything]

[Aaaand it looks like the Shuppet was successfully caught!

Kirino picks up the Pokéball and turns around triumphantly-- just to see the Misdreavus willingly go into the Pokéball with absolutely no fuss.

... Well then.]

[facedesk]

[Ah, yay! He scoops the ball back up then with a grin, letting her out again so she can travel along side him.

... She's gonna need a name, hmm.]

... Can I call you Muma-chan?

[Because he's a dork and likes the original Japanese names better - but anyway, he's all happy and has a new Pokemon and --

What's with that look, Kirino.]

... D-did you catch your Shuppet, Kirino-kun...? [;;;]

[doingthemistything]

[The Misdreavus nods, letting out a small, happy cry.

Kirino lets out the Shuppet, reaching over to stroke its head with a finger.] I think I'll call him Athos.

[facedesk]

[And Muma's going to get an offer for a little hug!! Not that he's going to give her one without asking -]

Athos...? I hope he likes it, then; nicknames are important, after all.

[And to the Shuppet:] Do you like it, Athos-kun?

[doingthemistything]

[Athos gives a nod, leaning into Kirino's touch.]

Looks like that's a yes. [O-oh a hug? Muma would like a hug yes--]

[facedesk]

[Then she's getting a big one, even a little cuddle - looks like they're good friends already, huh...]

He looks like he's happy to be your Pokemon, Kirino-kun - I'm really glad for you...!

[Except he didn't have to work for his h e h]

[doingthemistything]

[Stop bringing that up!!

Kirino just nods, as Alto flies over to Athos and starts trilling at him... a bit angrily, it seems.

Meanwhile, Muma snuggles into the hug a bit.]

[facedesk]

... A-Alto-chan, be nice. That's Kirino-kun's new Pokemon; he's going to be your partner, you know!

[Don't be mad at him! ono
... O-oh he's being snuggled, what a cutie --
He has two Pokemon in his arms. He's hugging two, adorable Pokemon. 8w8
COULD LIFE GET BETTER...........]

[doingthemistything]

[She doesn't have to be nice if he's not going to be nice either! >8( Athos doesn't seem to care much, either, giving the Swablu a derisive little noise.

Kirino's trying to ignore them for the moment and focus on Hayami.] All in all, I think today's been a good day.
