What's this? Wild Paldean Pokemon?
LOCATION: Gilterrace Town - Churahana Flower Shop
[Out at the front of the store Manzana can be spotted sweeping stray leaves. All the while he doesn't notice there's a tiny little helper walking around the vicinity. Said little helper--a Gimmighoul in its roaming form eventually stopped, and stared at a Coinpur that was napping right at the steps of the flower shop's door.
It’s not until Manzana moves away from sweeping to rearrange one of the floral decorations that he catches Gimmighoul from the corner of his eyes. Halting his work he turned to look at Gimmighoul. Taking note of how it was tugging at Coinpurs’ coin a deep frown formed on Manzana’s lips.]
Gimmighoul don't you dare touch that coin! It isn't for you! [There’s a pause.] ...wait a second, a Gimmighoul? Here...?
[There’s a startled sound Gimmighoul lets out before running leaving a stunned Manzana.]
...wait! Gimmighoul, come back!
Location: Route 1
[Manzana can be seen with a group of Smolivs in his arms. He’s holding them tight as they’re letting out terrified screams. The problem wasn’t the fact he was carrying them as he ran–the problem was what was behind them: a very, angry Ulternian Dunsparce.
If anyone were to come across him, while Manzana won’t stop in his tracks he will call out to them.]
Run! It’s Dunsparce! Ay, I didn’t–ah!! Run!!! They’re dangerous!
[He’s yelling out in rapid succession. It seemed he was not only concerned for the shivering Pokemon he held but also the safety of anyone else in Dunsparce’s line of sight.]

Thanks. Sorry about the trouble, I know it's a strange question to ask. [Even back home, most people would've given weird looks if they didn't already know.] But really, they're all there? The Pokémon Storage System works normally? I'd have to have a look at it, but...
[Of course, she had always been safe. Her only release was still alive, good old Ziggy, and Dad... even with everything he'd done, everything he'd said he'd do, he'd never once actually harmed Alice or her team. And now she'd seen versions of him who really were the good-natured guy he'd claimed to be. But still, echoes were ringing in her head.]
Oh -- yes! I'd b down. I guess I could take one, if that works. As long as no one's going to get hurt.
no subject
[Manzana trailed and looked over to Professor Banyan who in response smiled reassuringly.]
While I didn't make the Storage System I know the company that's responsible for it. They're quite thorough about their work, so your Pokemon are in safe hands that's for sure.
[At Alice's response to the Smolivs, Banyan's expression lit up. He'll lean down to be at eye level with them.]
Whaddya think lil' ones? Any of ya wanna travel along with a trainer?
[One of the Smolivs enthusiastically wiggled, slipping away to trot up close to Alice. If anything, it seemed rather curious about Alice.]
no subject
Hello! What should I call you?
[As if expecting the Pokémon to answer -- or then again, maybe it's just polite. She thinks for a moment, almost recalling tens of thousands of people keysmashing to think of a name.
f8weh
Good a name as any.]
Hmm... Fate? That'll do! All right, nice to meet you! I'm Alice. I'm sure you'll get along with my friends.
no subject
Looks like Smoliv--sorry, Fate likes you. Here, you can use this as Fate's Pokeball.
[Banyan will hold out the Pokeball that resembled the Premier Ball out for Alice to take.]
Oh, that's right one more thing. It's not uncommon for the people here to keep their Pokemon outside of their boxes too, so that's an option for ya too. I don't think anyone'll mind yer Pokemon pals tagging along with ya.
no subject
Oh, thanks! I'll keep it in mind. I usually keep my whole team on me, but if it's not a problem to store one, that might work well too. Sorry, the PC where I'm from... it's a long story.
no subject
You don't hafta force yourself to talk about it if it's hard, but I'm here if ya need anything.
[Professor Banyan offered in a soft tone. He didn't want Alice to be upset...! But he made sure she knew he was open to listen if she was comfortable enough to talk.]
Ah, that's right. You can also leave any Pokemon you want in my care here too. I've got plenty of space here, especially since a lot of trainers ask me to watch their Pokemon for 'em.

[Plus he couldn't begin to imagine what it was like to be taken out, unwilling from their homes and here to Ultern. While Ultern was his own home, he knew it wasn't the same for the drifters. He's seen plenty who reacted poorly, after all.]
That and I'm more than happy to answer any Pokemon related questions! I am the Pokemon Professor around these parts after all!
no subject
Still, she shakes her head and puts together a smile. Better not make these people worry.]
You must have a lot to study! It sounds fascinating. Thanks a lot! And sorry for the trouble.
no subject
[Manzana smiled once it was clear he wasn't interrupting the two. While he had no idea why Alice was so concerned about the PC (after all, he wasn't from where she came from--) but it was good she seemed okay for the time being. That, and so where the Smolivs.]
Thank you for taking them into your care--you as well, Alice.
[He'll turn and nod over to her.]
no subject
[Professor Banyan commented with a smile. He shook his head waving the two off.]
Don't ya guys worry about it, it ain't no trouble ta me when Pokemon are involved.
