014 [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[soggypastry]

[Hey, Johto. Enjoy that loud crash you're hearing, because it's only going to get louder and shatter the afternoon's relative calm. What was it? A crashing Skarmory, if the metallic screeching noise is anything to go by

Safe!

[ like Rise wouldn't help a Pichu roundup. Rosemary looks a little disappointed that she couldn't do a decent herding job, though, doubling back to her trainer for muzzle pats. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Oh, yes. The Pichu is definitely safe as Lightning turns, smiling at the girl. He's sleeping on her shoulder, after all.]

Thanks for the help, Rise. [And you too, Rosemary. Lightning's looking through her bag for a berry for you, so...just hang on a moment.]

[action]

[restardom]

No problem! I just had my exercise for the day! [ though she hardly seems out of breath; idols have some luck with stamina, it seems. Rosemary snorts out a sigh, but looks inquisitively in Lightning's direction. Berry? Berryberryberry?? ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

Good. Getting lazy wouldn't do you any good. [So says the woman who slept for a week; she still feels a bit out of shape herself.

And yes. Berry. One Oran berry held out for Rosemary to take.]

[ Talim is, as usual, flanked by her Scyther. Syi Salika looks like he was ready to jump in and help if he had to ]

That was quite the chase. Is he okay?

[ action ]

[soggypastry]

[It's almost a good thing that the Pichu tripped; the addition of the Scyther to the chase would have spooked him even more. Though, since he's asleep on Lightning's shoulder, she'll nod.]

He's fine. Just wore himself out with all that running.

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

I can imagine so. I'm just glad you managed to catch him.

[ action ]

[soggypastry]

[Nod.]

Yeah. A lot could have happened if he ran into something. [Or someone-- Whoops! One Skarmory head appearing under Lightning's arm as he peers at this new person. Hello there!]

[fullmoonstory]

[Estelle is practically spun around in place as the Pokémon rush by, and the tiny pink star-shaped thing that was following obediently is now clinging to her foot and making tiny cries]

Oh...oh dear, it's all right, I think they're just playing...

[but she looks at Lightning for confirmation anyway] Is everything all right?

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Too busy catching her runaway Pichu, it takes Lightning a minute or two to respond, but when she does, it's asleep on her shoulder. Things are just fine.]

Yeah. He just scared himself and started running.

[action]

[fullmoonstory]

I'm glad it was just that.

[a very sweet smile as Estelle stands, holding onto her own recently-hatched Cleffa, which is trying to bury herself in her sleeve]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[A nod; she's glad about it too. Even if the Cleffa gets a curious look as Snow the Skarmory comes over and pokes his head under Lightning's arm. Hello there, new person!]

Yours alright?

[swordofimpulse]

...that's an energetic little Pichu.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[You wouldn't know it to look at him now, since he's sleeping so soundly on Lightning's shoulder.]

That's what happens when someone gets scared.

[video]

[swordofimpulse]

...point.

But how did it manage to run away from...

[Well.]/small>

[video]

[soggypastry]

He bolted right after he hatched. I couldn't grab him quick enough. [He got shell on his head and couldn't see, so he panicked and ran for it.]
