[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.]

[jesus, why are you covered in Ghosts out of everything else, Kirino.

Hayami slinks over a bit, but doesn't get too close.]

... Maybe you should try battling them away, Kirino-kun?

[And guess who has a Togepi thanks to the swarm? This kid.
Pigeto chimes in agreement, with a little "prii prii!" - you'd be much better off getting exp from all this, Kirino!]

[And, wandering out of some tall grass off to one side, one of Kirino's teammates and his Pokémon (Purrloin plus one Sentret!) are drawing closer and watching intently. The pokémon along the Route have been awfully weird lately, but this is still new.

Kariya (and Suisei) snicker as they draw up near the ghosty crowd. The former's expression is two parts amusement to one part 'Okay, this is pretty creepy,' but he's smirking all the same. Of course.]

Kirino-senpai, I think they like you.

"Ohhhh my... I don't suppose you're in some sort of emotional turmoil right now are you..?"

That depends Otogi, he might be once he spots YOU and realizes you don't look even remotely human any more. Suddenly, talking Zoroark with a bag and headband. Also Otogi's badge.

...And vest.

[action even wow i'm gr8] heyyyyyyyy

[toreina]

[He's been here for a few days.... and the last thing he expected to see while walking down route one was one of his team members getting attacked by those......... whatever they were. When did Kirino get here, anyway??]

Kirino, are you alright? [Concerned kantoku is concerned]

[risingstars]

[Oh, that's a... cute little teruterubouzu thing. Can it control the weather? Tenma and Gracia are about to get ready for a fight... when the Shuppet they're looking at passes right by them. Uhh.

He follows the ghost-type to see what has its attention, only to see-]

Kirino!? [Why are you being mobbed by evil floaty critters?]

[action]

[conductingstars]

[ Jeez. ]

Kirino, why are there so many... of these Pokemon around?
