047 - Good luck with Muk and its Poison Gas, make one wrong move and it'll kick your grass.

[On the last day of the milk incident, Ash visited the post office figuring that if someone had to drink the milk, perhaps that someone should be a living pile of toxic sludge who would likely be immune to poison and razor blades. ... Of course, the incident ended the next day rendering this unnecessary. The sentient toxic sludge remains however

A [Sorry I am all kinds of late..]

[Hawkeye didn't typically mind foul smells, but this was borderline intolerable. And appeared to be coming from Ash's room.

She knocked on the door, hesitant.]

Ash? What is that smell..?

No prob.

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuuuk!!

[And a big sludgey blob comes out to give her a hug. Lovely, right?]

Also, totally recognize the song lyric up there XD

[snipingmissy]

[Not so much, seeing as she's dressed for work. She takes a large step back, shaking her head. No hugs, please.]

All of Ash's post titles are song lyrics. Some are translated from Japanese though. XD

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuk??

[Oh, okay. He'll pause for a moment.]

This one I definitely know 'cause I was singing it before I knew it haha

[snipingmissy]

[That thing is looking like it was asking a question or was similarly confused. Riza placed her hand on her face because she had now found the source of that smell and it was far worse when only a meter or so away.]

Hello, there.

[Was this one of those...what had Ash called, them again? She wondered where the yellow one had gone. It had been friendly. It also didn't smell quite as horrible as this thing did.]

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuuuk!!

[Muk gives a big smile and a wave with one of his big sludgey hands.]

[snipingmissy]

[Riza waves weakly in response.]

Is your name Muk?

[She'd learned from last time after meeting that yellow Pikachu!]

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuuk!! Muuuk!

[That's an affirmative. How about a hug now?]

[snipingmissy]

[See? She can learn things! But maybe still no on that hug, though this time she just puts her hands up in defense of not!hugging. Time to change the topic because sludge-filled hug do not want.]

It's nice to meet you, Muk. I'm Riza.

[And I'm introducing myself to a talking, moving pile of sludge. I may have lost my mind.]

Is Ash here, still?

[10_year_old_kid]

Muk muuuuk!

[That's an affirmative it seems.]

[snipingmissy]

[She nods.]

You wouldn't be the sort of creature who electrocutes people, would you?

[She thinks of Pikachu and his enthusiastic shocking of Ash her first day in town, and shakes her head.]

[10_year_old_kid]

Muk muuuk!

[No, he is the kind of creature which can be poisonous.]

[snipingmissy]

[Was that a yes or a no?]

I don't think I've met you before. Are you..new?

[Maybe if she keeps talking to Muk, it won't hug her?]

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuuuk muuuuk!

[I think you spoke too soon, he wants a hug to introduce himself.]

[snipingmissy]

[Aaand too late to avoid the hugging this time. Muk knocks her over with his enthusiasm, and she attempts not to flail underneath him because even knowing it was a Pokemon that was a moving, talking pile of sludge.]

Mmf--I see you like hugs, Muk...!

[10_year_old_kid]

Muuuuk~
