Generic mingling post!!

[Anyone and anymon with a sense of smell may notice a rather nice one coming from the direction of the Pokemon Center, or maybe they'll see the small crowd first...

It looks like someone got permission to put a long table full of food out in front of the center. It's got berry pies, berry cakes, berry juice, and even a few rare candies. Anyone who doesn't like berries is out of luck, but there's all kinds of treats for those who do. A card placed on the table says it's all free to be taken, and a young man with pink hair will be helping any younger kids or shorter 'mons get what they want.

A little group of people has gathered around to eat standing up or sitting in the Center's lobby. Come get a snack? And maybe introduce yourself to the other (unfortunate) people here?]

Hey, I know that ain't true, 'cause I have good instincts about this kinda thing. [ He wraps an arm around Silver's shoulder with an even bigger grin than before. ]

Plus, if you weren't, I wouldn't be here with ya.

[theglovesstayon]

[dhdqdohfvdsiufhdsui WHAT ARE YOU DOING he's trying to get out of your hold without hurting you]

What's that supposed to mean?

[cuddlylandshark]

[ Yeeeeeeeeeeah good luck getting out of his hold, he's pretty damn strong. hello 130 based Attack plus Attack boosting nature ]

Well, I don't like people who treat Pokemon badly. But I got a good vibe about ya.

[theglovesstayon]

[Hey this one has speed and evasion through the roof! But he's having to control his reflex to kick or punch or something worse you so he's holding back and generally failing]

That's no reason to grab me!

[cuddlylandshark]

[ Hey he's pretty speedy too! And if there was a sandstorm he would be plenty evasive. ]

Oh, that's what yer upset about? Why didn't ya just say so in the first place. [ He lets go of his grip on Silver, but he's still a tad uncomfortably close because what is personal space. ]

[theglovesstayon]

[shfdqufhdusifdhsufsd why. He's edging away okay he needs space to recover]

Anyway I wasn't lying. I'm not the best trainer, bonding with pokemon isn't my strong point.

[cuddlylandshark]

I wouldn't say that, we're get along pretty fine. [ Drake you've only known Silver for less than one day slow down. ]

[theglovesstayon]

And that's relevant because? [Be careful, Drake, he's sharp]

[cuddlylandshark]

[ Oh boy how is he gonna get out of this. ]

Uh... Well, I... only get along with people who... are good with Pokemon. [ Technically he's not lying! ...he's just kinda stretching and twisting the truth a bit. ]

[theglovesstayon]

[... he's staring at you now]

[cuddlylandshark]

Er, because I'm... uh... sorta... actually a Pokemon myself. [ Welp the Glameow is out of the bag now. ]

[theglovesstayon]

... oh.
[Yes, "oh" is his only response. He's not freaking out, just. "oh"]

[cuddlylandshark]

[ Welp Drake isn't sure what to say so they can just stare at each other in awkward silence. ]

[theglovesstayon]

... any particular reason you're taking human shape? Unless you'd rather not say...

[cuddlylandshark]

Well, because I can help humans more this way... And having hands is handy. [ Hands are really nice. ]

1/2

[theglovesstayon]

[That gets a small chuckle out of him]

[theglovesstayon]

So what species are you anyway?

[cuddlylandshark]

Heh heh, Garchomp! [ Yes this dork is actually a fearsome landshark that can destroy teams with the right conditions. ]

[theglovesstayon]

[... wow he's impressed]

[cuddlylandshark]

Pretty cool, huh? [ Yeah he's kinda awesome. ]

[theglovesstayon]

I wouldn't have guessed from seeing you.

[cuddlylandshark]

I know, right? It's probably because I'm taller in this form. [ Drake, bb, that's not it... ]

[theglovesstayon]

[Pft] Is that so?

[cuddlylandshark]

Yup! Just a bit though, but every inch counts! [ Although really it's only a few centimetres but shh he doesn't know that ]

[theglovesstayon]

[Okay he's actually amused now. You are a dork]
So what did you mean by "helping humans"?

[And he's starting to walk again, but not at too fast a pace]
