First Line Cast [action for Striaton]

[naminoripiero]

[So, anyone out and about today in Striaton will notice a boy and his Mudkip wandering around the city, mainly taking in the sights.

Hamano seems almost completely entranced by... well, everything! After all, these were only pixels in a video game to him less than a week ago. Of course, he should probably watch where he's going before he bumps into something. Maybe you should intervene...?]

[action] 1/2

[facedesk]

[Whereas Hayami's wandering about with his Togetic flying behind him, watching his Pokemon enjoying his new wings.

... Except --]

H-Hamano-kun...!?

[He's blinking once or twice, as if he can't believe what's in front of him, before...]

boop

[facedesk]

Hamano-kun!

[Hey there bro, have a twig flinging himself at you!!!]

[beaches_and_shores]

[Hey, wait isn't that--

WHOA HUG INCOMING. But that's okay because since Hamano had a decent warning, HAYAMI'S GOING TO BE CAUGHT AND HUGGED.] Hayami! [Wow, this just. Really made his day, wow. SUDDENLY BEST FRIEND. And in Unova to boot? This is nothing short of perfect!]

[facedesk]

I c-c-can't believe you're actually here...!

[HAVE A SQUEEZE, TOO. Not that it's that strong since HAYAMI but you know. Thought that counts?]

How long have you b-been here, Hamano-kun?

[beaches_and_shores]

[Thought that counts!]

Just a few days.

"Kiiiiiiip." [Oh, right, mind the Mudkip nudging at your leg, Hayami.]

[facedesk]

[Oh - he can't help laughing a bit.]

A Mudkip, of course... he's your starter, right?

[naminoripiero]

Yup! His name's Mizugorou. I also caught another on my way here--[As he says this, he releases a Pidgey, who promptly lands on Hamano's shoulder, peering at Hayami.] This little guy. [He strokes the Pidgey's head a little, the bird leaning into the touch.]

[facedesk]

Ah - he's so cute...!

[He'll just... tentatively reach to pet the Pidgey....

Only for Hama to wander up and startle Hayami with a cute - but loud - "Bui!"
Which means he's whirling around irritably because NO?]

I t-told you not to do that!

[naminoripiero]

[The Pidgey jumps as well when the Buizel wanders up, moving along closer to Hamano's neck, and gives an indignant squawk when Hamano leans down to say hello to the Buizel.] A Buizel, huh?

[facedesk]

Yeah, he... kind of joined my team without telling me.

["Bui, bui!" Which means - here, have a handshake!!!]

He doesn't even have his own Pokeball...

[naminoripiero]

Haha, cute. [Oh, handshake accepted!

... Although, the Pidgey eventually wanders down Hamano's arm a little to get a closer look at the Buizel--but not too close.] This little guy--[Indicating the Pidgey.]--probably got separated from his flock and he started following me instead.

[Never mind that Hamano had to coax him closer with food.]

[zeroyon]

[It's okay, Haya! Hama's nice, even if he can be kind of loud. He'll just give the Pidgey a friendly wave~]

So... we ran into them the same way. What's his name?

[beaches_and_shores]

[... uh.

That gets a bit of a sheepish smile before Hamano admits:] ... Haya...

[Meanwhile, Haya's going to wander down Hamano's arm a little more and chirp at Hama.]

[zeroyon]

... O-oh...

[He's blushing a bit, before he motions to his Buizel -]

This is... Hama-kun.

[H-h-hahaha.]

[beaches_and_shores]

[Well. This is mildly awkward.]

[zeroyon]

...

[He's twiddling his thumbs a bit.]

... I, um - it's.... he acts a lot like you.

[beaches_and_shores]

... Well, uh. The Pidgey sort of. Acts quite a bit like you, so... yeah.

[Speaking of which, it seems like Haya's warmed up to Hama a little bit...!]

[zeroyon]

[Good!! Hama's going to happily have a conversation with him, then --]

... I g-guess we're... even, then? Or something.

[Even though it was also because he missed you --]

[beaches_and_shores]

Oh! What about the rest of your Pokémon?

[zeroyon]

Right!

Here -

[He'll just send them all out then, the other four Pokemon settling where they want - Muma's floating above Hayami's shoulder, Yuna's zooming around the group excitedly, Chobomaki's toddling over to meet Hamano and Haya, and Bachibachi's clinging onto her trainer for dear life because she's so goddamn tiny.]

This is - [Pointing to them in order] Muma-chan, Yuna-kun, Chobomaki-kun, Bachibachi-chan, and Pigeto-kun!

[And the Togetic flies closer when he hears his name, some sort of glitter falling on all of them. Hayami hardly notices it.]

[beaches_and_shores]

Ah! [Hamano grins, looking around at all the other Pokémon.] Well, it's nice to meet all of you. [If Pigeto doesn't mind, he might be getting some headpats from Hamano. Mizugorou wanders over to Chobomaki to say hello.]

[zeroyon]

[Pigeto doesn't mind at all! In fact, he's giving Hamano's head a hug. 'w'

.... Muma-chan's flying right into his face though, to see if he's worth her trainer's attention. B|
Prepare to be tested over the next few days, Hamano --]

... A-ah, sorry, Muma-chan's... a little difficult.

[Which mean's he's gently grabbing her and pulling her over, getting a little shriek in return. D-don't be a brat, Muma....]

[beaches_and_shores]

[Psh, it's fine, Hayami, you know how Hamano is by now. In fact, he's reaching over and giving Muma a pat on the head as well!]

That's all right, haha. She's cute, still.

[zeroyon]

[CHOMP. Not that she has teeth or anything, so it probably doesn't hurt at all.]

S-she is, but she's.... kind of, um...

Possessive, I guess.

[Muma....]

[beaches_and_shores]

[He can't help but laugh a little bit.] Just a little.

[Muma, it's probably not as fun to pick on someone who will just take it all in stride.]

[zeroyon]

[Well fine - she'll just wiggle out of Hayami's grasp and pull Hamano's hair. >8(]

M-Muma-chan, be nice...!

[Hayami's in a state of OH NO OH NO OH NO, of course. Because he doesn't believe in punishing his Pokemon, so...]

[naminoripiero]

Hey, easy now. [Here, does Muma want a berry? Because he's pulling out a Cheri berry from his bag and gently pushing Muma away.] Hey, if you let go, I'll let you have this...

[zeroyon]

[She stares at it for a moment, before finally giving in and taking the berry from him - though she does fly over to Hayami's side again, giving him a scrutinous look.]

... I-I'm sorry, she's... A handful.

[naminoripiero]

It's all right! She's just protective of her trainer, isn't she? [The question's more directed at Muma than it is Hayami, with him giving the ghost-type a smile.

Meanwhile, Haya's gotten more comfortable with the rest of the other Pokémon, though he's staying near Hama. Mizugorou's just watching all the others.]

[zeroyon]

[Here, Haya - you're getting a Hama head pat yes.

Whereas Muma's just blinking a bit, before giving him a "hmph!" and turning away.]

... W-well, um... your Pokemon seem friendly, Hamano-kun.

[naminoripiero]

[A nod!] They don't have a reason not to be.

[O-oh, well, Haya's okay with a head pat from Hama. He even gives a happy little chirp!]

[zeroyon]

[Yay! That's permission if he's ever heard it - so Haya's getting a Buizel hug.]

Right...! They're your Pokemon, after all. It'd be weird if your Pokemon weren't friendly!
