10. Back to Cherrygrove! (sorry guys) [Video/Action for Cherrygrove] (Post made on Friday friday...)

[isthedeadcat]

Good morning!

[Lion looks quite lively even with all the heat and the crazy soulsucking bugs. You want to know why? Just look at the background... Yes! It's Cherrygrove!]

This is my first time seeing Cherrygrove without any snow, and I'm quite excited about it. It's truly a beautiful place! [A quiet chuckle.] Ah but please let me explain

[Dib's in Cherrygrove at the moment, and he has caught the word "Ralts" and chased you down, Lion. He's dragging his Ralts by the arm, and she struggles to keep up on her little legs.]

Hey! You can breed these things? People do that?

[Have a polite smile, Dib, Lion is currently quietly having tea under the shade of a tree.

Lion does frown a tiny bit at the draggong of the poor Ralts, but says nothing right now.]

Yes, actually. Breeding pokémon is a viable option and a good source of income.

[Now that Dib has stopped moving, he's let go of his Ralts, who shuffles over and clings to his coat, ducking her head to make sure her eyes are hidden.]

How do you even know what gender they are?

[action]

[isthedeadcat]

Some of them have gender differences, but most look exactly the same... You can see their gender in your Pokégear, but some of them are genderless.

[Natsuhi had been happy to spend the night in an inn - camping out was something she definitely wasn't used to. Having woken up a bit early, after having breakfast she went out to see a bit of this city before she and Will headed on towards Violet. As she walked around, she made sure to keep an eye out for the soul-stealing bugs that were causing so much trouble, but it seemed like the main part of the city had been well cleared of them

[Even when getting a little used to not being recognized by any family members, there is still a bit of a sinking feeling when Lion realizes that of course it is the same with Natsuhi.

Lion had been avoiding this meeting, partly to find a way to explain how fragments and other similar things worked to her (and maybe a little out of denial) but well. It was done now. So Lion finished putting the pokégear back in place, and gave Natsuhi a smile and a polite bow.]

Hello...

[eagledheart]

[So well-mannered... For a brief moment Natsuhi wished Jessica could behave a little more like this. Not that she'd give her daughter up for anything in the world, but... She managed a tentative smile and a polite nod back.]

You're... Lion Ushiromiya, aren't you? Maria mentioned that someone named that was here. And I sort of feel that I should know you but I don't...

[Action]

[isthedeadcat]

You are correct. My presence here is... [A small pause.] Is a complicated story.

I apologize for not introducing myself earlier, but I know the first days in Johto are quite disorienting and I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable when you had arrived so recently.

[pastsanity]

Everything's been going well for you, Lion?

[This is awkwardgrampa for "Have you stayed out of trouble?"]

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

Yes, the trip was safe, and I should be turning back soon. I caught quite a few Shedinja in the road, but no incidents happened.

Are things well on your side, Grandfather?

[video]

[pastsanity]

It's all we can do for now to catch them. ... I'm glad you are unharmed.

As well as to be expected.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

It's good to hear you are fine as well.

These Shedinja can be a bit of an annoyance to catch, since we have to be careful to avoid looking at their backs.

[combat_butler]

You... You went back to Cherrygrove again, Lion-san?

*There is also a Gardevoir leaning into view who is peeking over Hayate's shoulder curiously at you as you mentioned what she used to be*

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

It's quite a nice town in this time of the year, yes. [Chuckling, sorry xD] I had to accompany someone, since the roads are not quite safe at the time, but I won't be staying for much long.

[video]

[combat_butler]

You really could have stopped at a nice town, Lion-san. It's pretty obvious you have a big thing for it! *patting Miya on the head as he chuckles* It was nice of you to make the offer to accompany someone though!

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

I just can't help it, it's like a constant reminder of how things did end up fine in the end... I'll probably come back here once we are done traveling, and maybe even rent a house so we won't be in the inn forever.

Nai is a really nice child, so helping him was only the right thing to do.

[usedfuryswipes]

Hey, thanks for going with him. He might've gotten into all sorts of trouble by himself.

[isthedeadcat]

There is no need to thank me, he has been really kind to everyone here, so it's the least I could do for him.
