[Today, you'll find Cynthia taking a stroll around the island, casually sporting an ice cream cone in hands and the usual smile stamped on her face. The one oddity - not like anyone but the Champion herself can tell - is that the six pokeballs on her belt are empty. Judging by how content she looks, it's plain to see that's not the result of a

[what is rustling around in the bushes behind my house? It sounds pretty big...]

[battledancers]

[Pretty big, indeed. How would you like to meet a landshark dragon of death, Meghan? Because Garchomp is trying (and failing at) hiding in the bushes.

Also? Please don't mind the intimidating glare. She takes games v. seriously.]

[pikacosplay]

[....!!! HOLY WHOA

IT'S A LANDSHARK DRAGON OF DEATH THAT'S GLARING AT US

...meghan why aren't you runni-- no, meghan, no-- meghan don't hide in the other bush-- okay fine hide in the other bush. Suit yourself. Sparky will come too I guess.]

What are we hiding from? [SECRETIVE WHISPER. as if she'd understand the answer jhghj]

[battledancers]

[Garchomp will just. Stare.

And stare.

Then stare some more.

What part of 'takes games v. seriously' did you not get, Meghan? If the landshark dragon of death so much as growls, it will only make it easier for Cynthia to find her!]

any one of them who would love stealing food

[windiamond]

[Because Dia's making plenty of it. Pastries, cakes, meat dishes, the works. It makes a nice distraction.]

Togekiss it is, then!

[battledancers]

[Have a Togekiss sneaking inside like a ninja and sniffling around all that delicious food. Because who cares about hide and seek when you can eat for free?

He'll be over here, looking innocent and waiting to be fed. For now.]

[windiamond]

[Oh hey, new Pokemon. You look friendly.]

Well, hello! [why yes he's used to random Pokemon popping up when he cooks]

[battledancers]

Toge-toge! ["Hello, hello!" he says, waving with a single wing and keeping his mouth wide open. In case it wasn't clear before, Togekiss wants to be fed.]

[battledancers]

[Yes, there's always more on the horizon! Because Roserade seems to think it appropriate to go rescue her fellow Grass-type comrade!]

Rose-ra! ["Hey, you!" she says, pointing a rose-shaped hand at Sneasel in warning.]

[battledancers]

[Roserade's first reaction is to whip around and make a run for it. But then she stops. And remembers she's pretty badass. So instead, she charges at Sneasel and defends the honor of Grass-types!

... with tickles. Yes.]

[championfire]

{ Hide and seek is not as cool as tag, which Red and Snivy are currently doing. likely getting in some hide and seek searching way.}

[battledancers]

[And you're not as cool as Lucario. So there.]

Rio. [A single hiss and a glare is all you two are getting-- but really, do you need any more of a hint to be quiet?]

[championfire]

{ Flipping his pokedex open at you. Aw man you look really cool...

sgfdlk Don't mind Snivy running up and gently tagging you with it's tail, because you are totally playing too right?}

[battledancers]

[Brb, staring down at Snivy and blinking in slight confusion. Yes, Lucario is playing, but not tag!]

Caaaa. [He shakes his head once when he figures out what is going on there. No time for playing tag now, Snivy.]

[tinylord]

[Well now that's a fine thing for any bitty that strolls in the forest training their Zorua. Like, attacking bushes. For practice. Fury Swipes everywhere.]

[battledancers]

[Well, it's a good thing this part Ghost-type can't be affected by Fury Swipes. And by good thing, we mean for you.

Because otherwise? This not-too-nice Spiritomb would be much nastier.

For now, however, she'll just use Double Team and project herself into multiple illusions, forming a circle around Zorua. And perhaps let out a mischievous giggle.]

[tinylord]

[Oh what is this thing, seriously. The Zorua growls at the multiple illusions AND THE LAUGHING OH YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT.

N is half frightened by the sudden appearance of the Ghost and half excited, because this would mean his first real battle as a team with Zozo. He fidgets for a moment.]

Zozo, use, um, Faint Attack! There's a lot, so they're probably just copies! [New thing is new, but Zozo complies. On different ones, naturally.]

[battledancers]

[The illusions disappear one by one as Zorua hits them, but that doesn't stop Spiritomb from laughing even louder than before - nice try, you pitiful little thing!]

Once the effects of Double Team have almost faded entirely, she proceeds to using Dark Pulse, a shadowy wave of power rippling across the ground. It's not too strong and a fellow Dark-type should be able to take it, but... Spiritomb is not exactly known for holding back, either. In the end, it might be too much for little Zorua to handle.]
