[Lottie's not too happy, but she's not sobbing. She's also holding an Eevee, right outside the Violet City Pokémon center.]

Uh, t'th'fella lookin' f'r Alfons's Eevee...I got 'im. He was waitin' f'r me at th'Pokémon center. [A pause] D'you mind if I keep 'im?

[ Cliff catches sight of her looking at the "help wanted" sign. He saunters over and leeeeeans over her shoulder ]

Whatcha lookin' at?

[daddydothis]

[There is flailing, and even a little swearing, and a Glameow crying. Beau just waves at Cliff, though. He's chill.]

Lord Almighty! Don' do that!

[ action ]

[ Cliff backs up a few paces, holding up his hands ] Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

[ Lies. He totally did. ]

[Lottie's trying to get her breath back, but she's laughing]

You liar. I know that trick! [She bends down to pick up Ruffles, the poor thing] I f'rgot you said you was in Violet, or I'd'a told you we got here!

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

Well, looks like I found you anyway.

How've you been?

[ action ]

[daddydothis]

[She gestures to her five Pokémon, petting Ruffles to calm her down]

Busy. How 'bout you, Cliff?

[Princess comes over, trying to sniff at Cliff's Pokéballs. She's a little too short.]

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

Tryin' to recuperate from that mess earlier. You humans don't do well without rechargin'.

[ He glances down at Princess, and crouches ] You lookin' for a friend?

[ action ]

[daddydothis]

Oh, please don' tell me you ain't from Earth eithah. I ran into a giant fella earlier, said he wasn't from Earth an' just about scared me t'death. [The ponies she can work with. They could just be from some strange place on Earth with a lot of magic. Never said they weren't, after all. But aliens? She glances at Princess] She likes meetin' othah Pokémon.

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

All right, I won't tell you.

[ he takes a pokéball off his belt, and releases Rascal the Electrike. Mst of his other pokémon are too big, except for Specter, who was still kind of jumpy. ]

[Puppy! Princess sniffs him, while Lottie's face goes white. Her other mons just watch.]

People from th'future, ponies, people from th'movies, people from othah planets...no one is evah gonna believe me when I get home. I though th'trumpet-playin' gator was th'weirdest thing out there.

[ Rascal wags his tail, pawing at Princess. Play! ]

You have a fox that can breathe fire, and you're worried about the fact that I'm not from Earth?

[ action ]

[daddydothis]

[Princess tackles Rascal, yipping]

M'best friend has a trumpet-playin' gator. Ain't gonna say havin' Pokémon ain't weird, but animals doin' stuff they ain't supposed to ain't all that odd...an' I'm not meanin' t'be rude, it's just we only got people in th'air coupla years ago back home, an' I come here an' find out we got people from othah planets in th'future. Jus' a little startlin', that's all.

[Hey, she's not panicking! She's kind of getting used to strange things]

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

Trumpet... you know what, never mind. Where you come from is weird for me, where I come from is weird for you. This place is a meltin' pot of weirdness.

[ action ]

[daddydothis]

Works f'r me! ...Honestly, though, where I come from is weird f'r me, too, 'least when you compare it t'th'rest o'America.

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

You mean there's not trumpet playin' alligators all over the place?

[ action ]

[daddydothis]

Louis's th'only one I evah heard of.
