[Action]

[He's spent the last several days figuring out how to Pokemon Trainer. The creature Zoisite started with isn't exactly beautiful, but upon discovering its powers were plant-based he quickly warmed up to her. He spent most of his time training her, trying to mold her into the most obedient companion.

It's disturbingly easy. She's submissive and gentle, does whatever she's told without question. At first he was pleased, the last thing he wanted was his new pet making a fool of him, but when it bled into her battle style he was, admittedly...concerned.

She'll never be taken seriously as a fighter if she's so soft. Zoisite knew this for a fact, Kunzite has warned him that people in the Dark Kingdom would dismiss him as soft and weak due to his looks. That's why he'd trained Zoisite to be as dangerous as possible, to avoid such humiliation.

Chespin needed a master of her own. Someone bold, someone who could show her how to look more dangerous so people would think twice before underestimating her. So here he is, searching for a second grass-type.]

You've gotten quite physically strong by this point, Chespin, but hopefully not too much. This is one time I want you to restrain yourself a bit.

[Midboss, too, had found himself landed with a small Pokémon to look after. The Piplup was different from the two he had raised originally, but he'd none the less grown rather fond of him.

Perhaps, for now, he was using it as a distraction from dealing with what became of him after the spirits, and what he'd lost to return to life.

As he wandered semi-aimlessly around, he couldn't help but notice his Deputy Guardian doing much the same as he was. He should have suspected as much.]

Aha, Zoisite!

[He called over with a wave, striding over to catch up with him.

If nothing else, it would be a good chance to catch up after everything that happened.]

Vyers! [A smile, a short bow.] It's good to see you again. [Chespin tries to imitate her master's bow, but her tiny and less bendy form makes it a bit difficult and she has to keep herself from falling over.]

Yes, it is good to see you. I have been meaning to catch up with you, actually.

[Aw, that was so precious. He chuckled softly at the little Chespin, what a sweet thing. His Piplup gave the Chespin a curious look. What was this odd bowing thing??]

It has been some time, yes. Perhaps we should let these two get to know each other, while you and I talk? [Chespin's being as respectful and submissive as Zoisite was...and still is around Kunzite.]

Yes, that would seem the best thing to do...especially as I dropped duties on you so suddenly. I didn't mean to disappear for quite as long as I did.

[Two weeks was far longer than he thought.

Piplup was significantly less submissive, wandering over to investigate the other Pokémon personally.]

Well, for it being so sudden, it wasn't...terribly inconvenient. I managed just fine, I suppose.

[Chespin glances curiously at Piplup, but doesn't do much else.]

That is a relief to hear, looks like my assumptions on your reliability proved true enough. Thank you.

[Yup, Piplup is going to give the Chespin a little nudge. Playtime now right?]

I trust nothing too severe happened in my absence?

Thankfully, no. A few close calls, but I was able to keep them from getting out of hand.

[Dairine had the advantage of having trained Pokemon before, though admittedly in a different place and with an unusual starter. It hadn't taken Dairine long to collect a decent group of Pokemon. Training them all was going to take time, however. As such, she resolved to work with them every day after her job was over.

Today, she was out looking for a new place to train her team. Everyone was in their Pokeballs except Eevee, who preferred to walk with her trainer. Eevee's ears perk up upon hearing another human close by. Perhaps they had Pokemon too! In her excitement, Eevee dashes away from Dairine and towards the voice. Soon enough, she bursts out of the grass near Zoisite. The Pokemon rushes over to Chespin before abruptly stopping, chatting in a cheerful manner.]

Eve! Eevee!

[If her unusually friendly mannerism wasn't enough to hint that this Pokemon wasn't wild, Dairine's voice can be heard not far away as the trainer tries to catch up to her starter.]

Don't get too far ahead, Eevee!

[Chespin seems fine with having a conversation, though she doesn't leave Zoisite's side. The loyalty he's been instilling in her is strong, he can say that much.

As for Eevee, he can't help but be reminded of a cat at first. Except for the fluffy tail, but the feline features are enough to make him bite back a soft growl, remembering his experience with a certain fat cat...]

[Eevee's ears are more like a bunny's, but otherwise yeah, she looks rather cat-like.

Eevee is very glad to meet another Pokemon! Their conversation doesn't get far past greetings though before Dairine jogs into view.]

Ah, there you are! [At the sound of Dairine's voice, Eevee turns and runs over to jump into her trainer's arms. The young teen gives Eevee a few pets before straightening to walk towards the two her Pokemon had found.]

Hey there. I hope she wasn't bothering you. She likes seeing new Pokemon.

If she'd been bothering me, I would have made it known. [Zoisite, keep quiet when something bugs him even a little? Yeah, and Tuxedo Mask isn't an asshole.] She's...very fluffy. And Chespin seems a bit fond of her. [Chespin is mostly bowing and chattering quietly right now.]

[Dairine grins, looking down at Eevee.]

She is. And very friendly! You can pet her if you'd like.

[Dairine lets Eevee hop down from her arms before looking towards the one she is chatting with.]

Hello, Chespin. [She greets the other Pokemon in Wizard's Speech, a language with had the advantage of being understood by all living creatures. To a non-wizard, no matter the species, it sounded exactly like their native language.]

[He hesitates, he's not good with furry creatures even if his last experience with them wasn't so horrific.]

And...she won't suddenly bite me or scratch my face?

Not unless you do something mean like pull her tail.

[Eevee is pretty chill in that regard, if very excitable when it came to new people.]

Hm. Well, it's the same with me and my face. I tend to be...quite pleasant unless someone harms it. So if she doesn't scratch my face, I won't touch her tail.

[Zoisite, don't lie, you're a little shit through and through. Just try to be nice to the little Eevee, okay?]

[That sounds suspiciously like something a jerk would say. Dairine raises an eyebrow, but Eevee doesn't seem to mind. The trainer leans down a little to address her Pokemon.]

Sound good to you?

[The Eevee chirps in agreement and prances over to stop in front of Zoisite. Dairine will be keeping a close eye on them though, so be nice.]

[He tentatively reaches out a hand to pet the small creature. Her fur feels soft and clean, at least.]

[Eevee grooms herself daily, so her fur is very clean. She leans into the touch happily. Dairine smiles a little.]

See? That wasn't so bad.

...she's sweet. [He keeps petting her, slowly and tentatively.]

Yup! She's a bundle of love and fluff.

[Eevee gives a cheerful "Vee!" in thanks for the compliment.]

[And Zoisite typically finds those types annoying, but...this one is growing on him. He continues with the petting, realizing to his dismay that he enjoys this.]

[ Porrim is out and about with Qwil, on a rare instance where she can get the treecko to actually walk with her. She makes a beeline for Zoisite and Chespin when she sees them. ]

My, what an ado+rable po+kemo+n, you're so+ cute~

[Chespin chirps a thank-you to the stranger, while Zoisite can't help but mentally note the resemblance between this person and one of his youma. (One of his useless youma who was killed by Sailor Moon and her friends, but at least she got her job done before then.]

[ Porrim looks up at Zoisite. ]

Hello+ there.

Hello. And you would be?

Porrim Maryam. And this is Qwill.

[ She gestured at her Treecko, who had already found a comfortable place to sit down. ]

Nice to meet you. I'm Zoisite, and this is Chespin.

[Chespin, of course, bows.]

Are you and Chespin training? Qwill could use some more battle experience if you're amenable.

Hm, not at the moment, but I suppose we could be. Chespin?

[Of course, Chespin is totally fine with this. Not just out of obedience but because battle is fun!]

How does over there look? [ She points out a small park with a pond. ]

It looks suitable enough, yes.

[ Porrim walks down and situates herself at one end of the park. ]

Ready, Qwill?

[ Qwill wanders just behind Porrim and then walks out a bit from her, yawning lazily. ]

[Zoisite takes his position, nodding towards Chespin]

Are you ready? [the pokemon nods]

Alright Qwill start us off with a leer!

[ Qwill stands up and looks at Chespin, then pulls his eyelid out and makes a sour face at Chespin. ]

How cute. Chespin, counter that with a Growl! [And Chespin suddenly sounds more menacing than she would let you believe she is...]

[ The growl certainly made Porrim lean back! ]

Leer, Qwill! Really let them have it!

[ Qwill tightened their features up, turning the leer up a notch! ]

Chespin! Use vine whip!

[The attack lives up to its name, the sound quite satisfying. Zoisite momentarily wonders if he should have taken up a whip as a weapon...nah. His elemental powers are all he needs.]

[ The whips strike Qwill quite unexpectedly, sending the treecko for a spin and leaving some visible abrasions on his scales. ]

Oh dear, are you okay, Qwill?

Treecko!

Let's return the favor then, huh? Use pound!

[ Qwill springs up and dashes forward. Once he's closed the distance between him and Chespin he springs into the air, doing a summarsault and swinging his large tail down to strike the other grass pokemon. ]

Ah! [Chespin's taken quite a hit, it's a miracle she's still standing. Zoisite narrows his eyes and nods towards the Pokemon] Chespin, use Vine Whip again!

[ The vines wrap around Qwill's leg and fling him away, preventing him from following up the first pound with another one. Qwill bounces harshly on the ground where he lands, rolling to a recovery - although he falls down to one knee afterward. ]

Qwill, recover some HP with Absorb!

[ Qwill gestures with his two hands and pulls back, attempting to pull energy from Chespin. ]

Don't give in, Chespin! Use Vine Whip again, don't let it take any of your energy!

[It's not looking great for Chespin, though. Zoisite, she has attacks besides Vine Whip. Seriously.]

[ After getting hit twice, Qwill was expecting it now. He rolled out of the way and continued to drain energy! ]

[And that's pretty much it for poor Chespin. The last of her energy drained, she faints and Zoisite lets out an agonized cry.]

Chespin, return!

[ Porrim saunters over to Treecko and kneels down. ]

Hey, how are you doing there?

Treecko!

Well. [Zoisite attaches Chespin's pokeball to his belt with a smirk] It looks like the two of us need more training. Next time, I don't intend to lose.

I believe you.

[ Porrim smiled. ] Until next time, then!
