[retrogrades]

[When Chihiro comes into view she's looking pretty sick--tired, feverish, and just overall pathetic. She's coughing as she turns on the communicator, and it won't stop there.]

I hate to ask this [cough] b-but does anyone have an alarm clock? Or know where to get one? It's [cough] really impor-- [cough] important that I get one. Thank y--

[As she tries to say thank you and end the transmission, a fit of coughs takes over. It lasts for a minute or so, and as she looks back in her hands at the end, her eyes widen in fear.]

Is this... b-blood?

Action!

[battledancing]

That's right. They're right here, see? [She reaches for her belt and takes out two pocket-sized pokeballs, holding them out on the palm of her hand.]

Action!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Here? These tiny balls are your family?

Action! 1/2

[battledancing]

[She giggles.] Not the balls themselves, no. I have to call them out first-- watch!

[And once Cynthia takes one of them and clicks the button in the middle, a beam of red light comes forth, followed by this cutesy Togekiss, who just happens to be staring at you, Chihiro. With big pouncing eyes of love.]

Toge!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ah!

So this is one of your Pokemon...? Which one is it? It's very cute!

[battledancing]

This is Togekiss. [She turns to her Pokemon.] Go say hello to Chihiro, sweetheart.

[battledancers.livejournal.com]

[And so, Togekiss approaches the girl and snuggles up against her, happily chirping in greeting. ♥]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

H-Hello, Togekiss... It's nice to meet you.

[battledancing]

Toge-to! [The Pokemon chirps in response, snuggling up even closer. Cynthia chuckles at that.]

See? I knew he would like you.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[battledancing]

[Well, that makes Cynthia happy, too. ♥]

Would you like to meet Garchomp, too?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Of course! I'd love to.

[battledancing]

I hope you won't be intimidated, though. Garchomp is actually very nice despite her appearance.

[Reaching for her other pokeball and calling out Garchomp, then!]

[battledancers.livejournal.com]

[And here she is, growling in all her scary glory.]

Gaaaar!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Ahh!

[battledancing]

[Yeeeeah, Cynthia is somewhat used to that reaction by now. So she'll pat Chihiro on the head again, smiling in reassurance.]

It's all right, Chihiro. Garchomp only looks scary, but she won't do you any harm, I promise.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I-If you're sure...

H-Hello... Garchomp.

[battledancers.livejournal.com]

Gaaaar! [Garchomp puts her claws down and approaches Chihiro, slightly rubbing her head on the girl. Why yes, she wants to be petted.]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

It's, um, nice to meet you too...

1/2

[battledancers.livejournal.com]

Gaar~ [See this face? Garchomp is happy and approves of pettings. ♥]

[battledancing]

See? I knew she would like you, Chihiro!

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I'm glad!

[battledancing]

Once you get past that first stage when you might feel a little intimidated by her, Garchomp is actually very nice and well-behaved. She's one of my most loyal Pokemon, did you know?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I bet she is! She's very friendly, hehe.

[And suddenly, Togekiss is a little too jealous of all the attention, so he'll tackle Cynthia for hugs. In his good ol' overly affectionate fashion, of course.]

Kissu!
