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 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]

[cuddlylandshark]

[ And Drake cheerfully walks beside him with a large grin. ]

Heh, I mostly do manual labour. Carrying heavy things and chopping firewood, ya know, that sort of stuff. [ And fighting bad guys sentai-style but that's top secret! ]

[theglovesstayon]

That's nice...
