[Action]

[There is a small girl walking through the forest. This girl isn't alone, however. Walking next to her is a strange creature that towers a bit over her. She doesn't seem uncomfortable at all, though - in fact, she seems to be carrying on a conversation with it. Though it probably would be alarming for onlookers.]... You're kind of lost,

[As she's walking along, she might notice a small spark of light and a very quiet bamf just beyond those trees. But where did it come from? There's no one quite ahead of her, but from above...

Kurt has found a nice tree branch to wrap his tail around, so he can hang around upside down going through a book on chemistry. He has to be ready for that exam in one week... whenever he gets back home, that is.]

[cherishedlight]

[What is that ominous light that threatens to- oh, wait. Her conversation with the pokemon - onesided as it is, though the creature seems have no difficulty understanding her - falls quiet once it begins to look for an indication of what had happened.

... It doesn't take too long before the pair notice Kurt.]

Won't reading upside down make your head hurt?

[onebluebamf]

Wha!?

[Wait... someone spotted him? Way out here? He loses his grip on the branch and goes crashing down- or would, if he didn't teleport mid-way, landing on his feet as he reappears. It doesn't take him long to spot the curious little girl. Oh man, spotted in the woods, with his holo watch off. Not good.]

... hey there, little girl.

[cherishedlight]

Hiya. [She seems pretty unfazed by his appearance, looks-wise, though the teleportation midair was surprising.] Are you okay? I'm sorry if I surprised you.

[onebluebamf]

Yeah, I'm fine. It's just- [And now he's looking behind her.] Mein Gott, what is that!?

[cherishedlight]

Huh? [She looks back toward the pokemon.] ... His name is Dusclops. I think. [That's all he seems to be able to say. Not that he's said it often.] I think he might be searching for someone.

[onebluebamf]

[He watches the creature carefully. It does seem to be harmless, or rather, not intent on causing harm. Given the last few days...]

Maybe he's looking for his trainer.

[cherishedlight]

Trainer? [She tries to think. That sounds vaguely familiar, but she honestly hasn't been paying too much attention to the journals lately.] That makes sense. Do you think they're here?

[onebluebamf]

Ahh, probably. They seemed to be expecting certain ones to show up, after all. But I don't know who he would belong to. Gold would probably know.

[cherishedlight]

Do you think he's around somewhere?

[onebluebamf]

Probably, but I don't know where. I've only ever spoke to him on the journals.

[cherishedlight]

Oh... okay.

[onebluebamf]

[Awkward pause before he continues.]

Sorry about earlier. I'm... not used to people seeing me like this.

[cherishedlight]

It's okay! I'm sorry for startling you like that. It's rude to interrupt someone when they're reading, after all. [... Even if they're reading upside down in a tree.]

[onebluebamf]

Ahh, right. [He picks up that book he dropped earlier.] It seemed like a nice and quiet spot out here, that's all.

[But after a pause, he remembers his manners.] I'm Kurt.

[cherishedlight]

Uh huh.

I'm Hikari! It's nice to meet you, Kurt.
