[action and a video] Somewhere in Pinwheel forest... forward dated some

[mediocrespells]

Hazel has been traveling pretty much constantly since the two year skip. Not aimlessly though. They are obviously off the beaten path in the forest. Her caravan has been left parked elsewhere to save time.

"Did we see the mossy rock last time we were here?"

Her Espeon just shakes his head. If they saw it he doesn't remember. She sighs and turns on her Xtransceiver.

[ She looks at the camera sheepishly while Zack decides to sniff around. ]

Has anyone ever come across a large mossy rock in Pinwheel Forest? One that um... kinda feels a bit strange if that makes any sense. It's supposed to have something to do with evolving Eevee.

So...

[ Before she can finish her thought Zack gets a scent that obviously must be followed right this second. Suddenly... Running... While Hazel happens to be sitting on his back. ]

Eep! Zack!

[ Nope. Not stopping just yet. Gotta find the thing! ]

[[ end video ]]

Hazel hastily shuts off her Xtransceiver and puts it away to avoid dropping it since she isn't actually wearing it.

"Zaaack! Where are we going?" She's still a bit shocked at the sudden run but, she's more curious about what he's trying to find than alarmed really. She didn't actually tell him to stop after all.

He pauses for a second to make sure he's still on the trail before he's off again.

Comments

Oh dear...

"Well, most Pokémon do understand people but, if I want to know what they say I need Cloud to translate..." It occurs to her that she probably has to explain that. "Um... it's a psychic Pokémon thing... telepathy..." And she has no clue whether he knows what that means.

"So then you are partnered with one who translates!" AHH! HE SEES.

Hmmm, how easy/hard should this be?

[mediocrespells]

"Yeah. He usually only talks to me though." One of his quirks.

"Anyway..." And her attention is back on the Sewaddle as Cloud decides to come over and sit on her feet. "Do you know where the special mossy rock is?"

Its answer is accompanied by some bouncing and excited gesturing with its tiny little legs. 'Of course! It's not too far from here.'

"That's good," Hazel replies after a short pause for Cloud to translate.

Seeing how monthly update/first minor event is this weekend, I'm thinking 'easy'.

[used_freeze_shock]

Only to you-- nOOOOO

Ah well. "What did the large caterpillar creature say?" Wow Thor, kind as that was, that was also kinda rude.

Ok

[mediocrespells]

"Just that it knows where the mossy rock is and that it isn't far from here."

The bug has no clue whether to be offended at being called a caterpillar creature.

"I um, guess that means I'll be going to find that now..." And she remembers something. "Oh. Your friend is still lost... did you want help finding him or...?"

[used_freeze_shock]

He shakes his head. "The offer is appreciated, however I believe I shall fare well on my own, this time. Better that you pursue your own quest for now!"

ok then

[mediocrespells]

"Okay..." Maybe she'll keep an eye out for him while she's in the forest. "I'll guess I'll see you around."

Zack is eager to go and crouches down so Hazel can get on.

"Bye." And they're off.
