farawayplace | 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.]

Threaded | Flat

Wow, I've never seen one like that before -- oh, right! Flamesplash!

[Alice pulls a ball from her belt and lets out a... okay, that looks like it’s probably a Sandslash, except that its spines are made of fire. The weird Pokémon stands between Manzana and the Dunsparce and charges at the latter.]

What happened to make it so mad?

[Well, now. That's certainly a sight. The Seviper watched as a human yelling something he doesn't understand and an angry... Dunspace? Well. In any case, something should be done. He'll catch up to the angry Dunsparce and begin talking to it, forgoing any introductions.]

Apologies for the intrusion, but may I ask what happened?

‘Course it’s gonna run. You caught it in the act.

[That’s just thief instincts, baby! Anyway, Mayday had only been passing by but she was close enough to see and hear the interaction. She stands in front of the flower shop, watching the little ghost sprint away with a vague curiosity.]

…Never seen anything like that back home.

[You know, Calem was here to have a good time. We were all just here to have a good time, probably.

Calem himself was having a very good time traveling with a few new friends, after letting some of his other Pokemon hang out in the PC, but he has a lovely little Maushold out playing right now, and a Tinkaton currently prowling around with her new bestie Gorebyss, when he hears a commotion coming from ahead and turns to--]

Manzana?!

[That. That sure is his acquaintance and some very terrified Smoliv, oh dear Arceus above, Calem doesn't even consider for a moment the dangers of dealing with a Dunsparce--]

Manzana, get over here, quickly! Let me see if we can do something--

[And that, is when Tinkaton looks over from her prowling, looks to Gorebyss and gives an I've got this shit kind of response, before jumping in front of the fray with her hammer at the ready. COME AT HER DUNSPARCE, YOU WANNA GO--

...Meanwhile, Calem is going to try and help Manzana while Tinkaton goes to have the fight of her life--]

Are you or these guys hurt?
