Tenth Flutter [Video/Action For Azalea Forest]

[3_butterflies]

[The Pokegear is being held by Fluttersh's Mareep - rather, hanging from it's mouth. You see, the sheep is just... a tad worried about what's going on in the forest.]

It's okay... I'm just here to make friends....

[Now, you think, why should anyone be worried about Fluttershy trying to make friends? She's sweet, and kind, and gentle...]

You're going

[ Talim is passing by, riding on the back of her Skarmory. The pair of them stop to watch. ]

Um. Are you all right?

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

Eep!

[Startled, she falls down again, and then, in shyness, she crawls behind the tree to hide.]

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you.

[ she hops down from Loka Luha's back, looking concerned. Fluttershy also looks familiar, but it's been forever since they've spoken, so she can't quite place her. ]

You're not hurt, are you?

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[she timidly pokes her head out.]

Oh, no... I'm fine... I was just startled...

[Mareep puts down the pokegear, worriedly looking at her master.]

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

Still, that fall didn't look pleasant. Do you need any help?

[ 'Loka pokes her head over her trainer's shoulder, peering curiously at Fluttershy ]

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[She brushes some dirt and such off of her dress as she steps out.]

I'm fine, really... I'm just trying to make a new friend...

[Mareep shakes her head hard. Don't... let her do that to the poor Chikorita. Don't.]

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

[ Talim looks from the Mareep, to Fluttershy, to the Chikorita ]

... It didn't run from you all the way up there, did it?

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[Both Mareep and Chikorita nod rapidly.

It's just a little shy, that's all...

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

[ At this point, she trusts the pokémon's word more than Fluttershy's. ]

Perhaps you should give it some space. I think you're scaring it.

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

But I was just trying to make friends! I'm sure once they get to know me, they'll -

[Mareep gives FS a very deadpan look.]

... I was doing 'it' again, huh...

[Mareep solemnly nods.]

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

I'm sorry, doing what again?

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[She nervously fidgets with her fingers.]

W-w-well... sometimes, when animals don't like me... I try a little too hard to make them like me...

[UNDERSTATEMENT. but Mareep nods again.]

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

You really shouldn't try to force them. They can be very particular about who they like.

[ Says the girl who is One With Nature. ]

I feel like I've spoken with you before. I'm Talim.

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[She nods with embarrassment.]

It's just a little itty bitty problem I have...

... oh, we have, haven't we? I'm Fluttershy...

[ action ]

[allthecolorsof]

That's right. It's been a long time, though.

[ She steps aside, indicating her Skarmory ]

And this is Loka Luha. Say hello.

[ Loka does, making a happy little noise and practically dances in place. She's enthusiastic like that. ]

[ action ]

[3_butterflies]

[she lightly gestures to the mareep.]

This is Cream...

[Now that the storm has passed, Cream baaas happily in place.]
