Pokemon: Downtown

[idolpro]

This is where people come to play it seems. The Battle Arena, where you can challenge your friends, rivals, or anyone really, sits side-by-side the town's Pokemon Center where you can get your Pokemon healed for free after a rousing battle. You and your Pokemon partner (even your entire unit!) can star in short plays to be aired at the movie theater or even beauty pageants showcasing their new hair-cuts and clothes. There's a karaoke bar, a small theme park, an arcade.

[ That makes three individuals in the booth impressed. ART :o ]

That's really good!

[purrrnicious]

[A lil self-conscious]

It's just a scribble.

[tradesecret]

No, it's good! I like the tongue sticking out. We've got a few others you can draw on, so go for it!

[purrrnicious]

[Hesitates, then draws a little cartoon version of Yvette on the next one.]

[tradesecret]

That one looks like me! St. Germain, look!

[ She lifts him up so he can see. The eevee Kyuuuus in approval! Good job! ]

[purrrnicious]

. . .

[Drops the pen in front of Marill and steps back.]




That's good enough to score some points or whatever. Right?

[tradesecret]

I think so.

[ turns to the marill ]

Want to try drawing something for Kohime too?

[purrrnicious]

[The Marill chirps excitedly and draws a. . . scribble. Literally a scribble.]

[tradesecret]

Okay, we can work with this.

[ takes the other pen and turns it into a flower ]

[purrrnicious]

[Marill cheers, apparently psyched at the collaborative work.





Kohime is walking off, oops.]

[tradesecret]

[ hits the print button and hands the pictures to Marl ]

Don't fall too far behind, okay? Good work today.

[purrrnicious]

[Marl hops from foot to foot anxiously as they print, and as soon as he has them goes chasing after Kohime, trilling in distress.]

[tradesecret]

[ actually, small round, you might need a little help. Yvette picks him up and runs after Kohime to close the gap ]

[purrrnicious]

[Yeah she didn't even slow down. And she seems upset for some reason when they do catch up.]

Keep it. I did the activity, I don't need it any more.

[tradesecret]

Then, do you mind if I give it to Tenshouin-san? I think he'd like a memento with you in it.

[purrrnicious]

What? It's all gonna disappear when the game ends.

[tradesecret]

Ah, good point.

Marl, the pictures are yours to keep but if you don't mind...

[ she'll snap pics of just Kohime's doodles with her phone. ]

They're quite good.

[purrrnicious]

[Shifts uncomfortably. ]

It’s just kid stuff. . . Eichi isn’t going to want something like that.

[tradesecret]

If anyone needs Kid's stuff, it's him. We have fun stuff like this at our disposal and neither of you know the first thing to do with it. But I get that.

[ texting the pics to Kohime. ]

They're yours to show him or not. Sekhmet will find them cute at least.

[purrrnicious]

. . .

[Frowns, more thoughtful than upset. ]

I’m supposed to learn all this “fun” stuff — just for it to disappear, and we go back to survival and murder games in a barren fake city?

It’s cruel. I don’t get how you seem to get into it when they’re just going to take it all away again.

[tradesecret]

Everyone's perspective is different. Just from observation, you're not the only one trying not to get attached to these little guys. That's understandable.

But if the objective is to play around, I'm going to take full advantage of it, however temporary it may be.

[ gonna snuggle St. Germain one more time and it hits the affection quota to evolve into Sylveon ]

[purrrnicious]

[Her response is cut off when she squeaks and jumps back in response to Eevee’s evolution. ]

—What is it doing?!

[tradesecret]

Evolving...? He evolved.

[ gonna check the Pokédex while it uses a prehensile bow to rub her face ]

[purrrnicious]

Well tell it to stop!

[tradesecret]

I don't think eeveelutions have takebacks.

[ she pets his head in return. On the bright side, he's not glowing anymore. Just. Very pink. He waves a bow at Kohime ]
