Pokemon: The Grassy Hill

[idolpro]

There's only one way to go from the Laboratory, and that's along the lane leading down the grassy hill. On the right side, there's a small farm where those of you that possess rideable Pokemon can learn to do so, as well as a farmer who could use some help herding their Mareep, Tauros, and Miltank. On the left side, there are large meadows filled with fruit-bearing berry trees, an ideal place for picnics and outdoor parties.

[ in the distance, you might hear some loud THUD. what . . . . is that. you can see something . . . two things? up in the air, and then falling down . . .

coming closer, you can see this meadow is filled with magikarp shaped dents in the earth - maybe you might even fall into one?

there's a sensitIV-colored person in the middle of the field, giving a startled laugh as the sound of something(s) whistles through the air comically, and then THUDs onto the ground.

in a moment or two, two magikarp come out of the newly made magikarp holes. ]

Waaah, that was definitely higher than the last one! Okay, here, let's take a break. Here, have some berries.

[ kneeling on the ground and offering a few berries for the two fish. good fish ]

[softlyfalling]

[ she was picking berries and now she's just... watching this, paused with a basket in hand. ]

...is that really okay for fish?

[maidenheaven]

Ah - the information given says they can jump over mountains, so I think it's probably alright. . . ?

[ with a pause, voice fairly feminine-sounding ]

Is it bothersome, though? Sorry about that!

[softlyfalling]

[ pressing phone buttons very... slowly... ]

...so it really does say that, and... I suppose I could believe it, seeing that?

Ah, I'm not bothered, it was just—surprising? I've been thinking of them like ordinary animals, but then again some of them don't look like animals at all...

[ this friend has trotted over from the trees to go sniff around the holes curiously, too. ]

[maidenheaven]

Indeed, I thought it was surprising myself - but, since these fish are perfectly happy outside of water and even eat berries, I had to discard such notions of them being ordinary animals straightaway. Ahaha!

[ with a laugh, as he looks to the new friend ]

Hello!

[softlyfalling]

[ the weird dog looks up and HELLO NEW FRIEND BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK except it's like, more like a wolf howl, and comes with a small gout of excited flame? ]

Aah, Simha, I know you're excited but that's rude—

[maidenheaven]

[ kneeling down to offer a handful of berries to simha ]

Would you like some?

[softlyfalling]

[ he sniffs at all of them in turn, and then starts gobbling them up without any further preamble. he clearly doesn't share the same personality as shrike. ]

Oh, thank you... that's kind of you. I've been gathering them all this time, but I hadn't thought to offer him one.

I suppose none of them are really ordinary animals at all, as you said. I just thought I was out of practice of having pets.

[maidenheaven]

[ moe dog ]

. . . Eh?

[ with a pause ]

If you were not gathering them for him to eat, then . . . what were you gathering them for?

[notadrop]

...

Is this training?

[maidenheaven]

Training? Oh, it's just exercise!

[notadrop]

Isn't that training?

[maidenheaven]

?

Training has some sort of goal, right?

[notadrop]

So does exercise.

[maidenheaven]

?

You can just exercise to feel good, though?

[notadrop]

That's a goal...

[maidenheaven]

I suppose, but it isn't that kind of goal . . .

[avestan]

[eventually making his way here because shockingly! he decided he's sadsacked enough for one game]

...Whoa. They're actually doing... something.

[something]

[maidenheaven]

[ shockku ]

- Avenger!

They can jump really, really high!

[avestan]

So I see.

[peers at the karp shaped holes they've been leaving]

You'd think they would get hurt from that.

[maidenheaven]

I thought so, but they're really robust!

[ pat pat pat fish sides ]

I told them to stop if they feel dizzy. And they take breaks after every jump, so I think they're okay. . . Onou-san's HP hasn't gone down, so I assume Renko-san's hasn't either. . .

[avestan]

Huh.

[pats renko]

Good job, I guess.

[maidenheaven]

[ beamingggg and picking up onou ]

Did you eat the food I left behind?

[avestan]

The bars? Yeah, they were good.

[maidenheaven]

That's good. Did you come to pick up Renko-san, then?
