[There's an unfamiliar face peering into the Pokegear. One would be forgiven for thinking that it's a newcomer, except...]

Ah. Well... this is a problem...

[He brushes his hair back, looking a bit... troubled.]

I woke up this morning like this. Somehow I've aged ten years in one night. Is anyone else having a problem like this?

[Later, he can be found wandering around Goldenrod, with a Lucario, shiny Greninja, and shiny Pawniard trailing after him. The two shinys look pretty calm, but the Lucario looks slightly distressed at his trainer's predicament.]

Comments

[dancermai]

[She smiles brightly at the offer and giggles as she bundles herself into Isamu's arms. This was more fun than anything she's experienced before.]

You're a nice Pokémon.

[Following micchy's instructions, she lightly clings to one of Isamu's arms instead of tugging at his fur and then watched expectantly at Micchy as to what they were going to do next. Cake?

Meanwhile, Ryugen is not happy and is trying to chatter at Isamu and Micchy both to put the little human down. Jam meanwhile is keeping an eye on the two newborns and is hoping to perhaps get them into pokeballs soon so they wouldn't have to look after them much longer.]

[grapeeater]

[Isamu yips quietly, giving her a careful hug. Humans like hugs, right? Micchy ignores Ryugen for now and looks in his bag for some Pokeballs to put the babies in. They... can wait. He grabs a few and puts them in, handing the Pokeballs to Mai.]

Here.

[He returns Yuudai and Kazuki to their own Pokeballs. Now he crouches to look at Ryugen again.]

... She'll be all right. Isamu is very gentle.

[dancermai]

[She accepts the pokeballs and tucks them into her kimono before snuggling down into the warm and safe hug. Isamu was doing a wonderful job in making her feel happy and relaxed. A part of her never wanted to leave this comfy embrace. She speaks directly to the pokemon, staring at him with a very ernest expression.]

You give really nice cuddles.

[Ryugen gave Micchy a look that was almost came across as sceptical. It was his job to protect this trainer and he couldn't do it when she was off the ground. As if sensing the situation, Jam comes over and picks Ryugen up off the ground with his tail. Teasing him as per the normal everyday antics. The distraction usually helped. Sometimes it just pissed him off more. But usually...]

[grapeeater]

[Isamu just nuzzles Mai a little gently. He likes you, small human.]

Once you guys are done, how about we get some food?

[Maybe food will help distract Ryugen more...]

[dancermai]

[Mai cheers at that last question, moving precariously in Isamu's arms and then giggling.]

We get some cake!

[Because obviously food means cake. And that was all she was going to eat while her parents weren't around forcing those vegetable on her. Fruit...she could eat fruit. That's what her town had everywhere but cake was the most important food group. She smiles brightly towards Micchy.]

You're a really nice mister. Mai's best friend.

[Anybody that gives her cake is her best friend, really.]

[grapeeater]

... Thanks.

[Isamu pulls her up a bit so she can sit on his shoulder. He can keep her steady, he's part Fighting type.]

Not just cake, though. How do you feel about pizza?

[It's got vegetables, that kind of counts, right?]

[dancermai]

[She settles herself down on that spot with a bright grin. From here, she could see just about everything. Mai holds her hands up to her eyes, mimicking binoculars as she looks around the town.]

Okay! Pizza and cake!

[Partial points for Micchy's attempt at parenting. Although, the suggestion of food does calm everybody down, including Ryugen for the moment.]

And then more dance practice!
