[So, Giovanni's been thinking

[bittytsun]

[...Eyebrow raise goes here]

[2ndworststarter]

[...is it done

okay it's done

is he supposed to rip it off his shirt or what what if it shocks him if he moves

...sorry Silver he's a little preoccupied]

[bittytsun]

...A Pichu? [HELPFUL, WE ARE SO HELPFUL]

[2ndworststarter]

[...and then it hops off of its own volition, beaming lovingly at its trainer.]

...yeah.

[lunardancing]

[ oh god

she really Should Not giggle at this, but it's... kind of cute, awkward and painful to watch. ]

[2ndworststarter]

[it's totally the latter

totally

sob

...and the Pichu hops off with a cheerful, friendly "Pi!" which indicates either that it's completely psychotic or has some very odd ideas about how one expresses affection.

...this allows Giovanni to notice oh god a pretty girl saw that.

the worst.]

[lunardancing]

[ Dawn winces sympathetically (do all little Electric types think electrocution is a form of affection?) and walks closer. ]

Are you alright?

[2ndworststarter]

Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to be worried about.

[Given that the Pichu just hatched, the most that's wounded is his pride.]

[battlestandby]

[And look who came in just in time to hold back a snrk at this.]

[2ndworststarter]

[yeah paul

you know what

regardless of "it might shock me again if I move"

Giovanni is going to raise his hand up and give him whatever the rudest gesture in the Pokeverse is]

[battlestandby]

[Now you're just giving Paul an excuse to laugh.]

Ah... that Pichu really does take after its parent.

[2ndworststarter]

So that guy's Pikachu's psychotic, then?

[lightandthunder]

[...if that thing didn't just hatch, we'd be a bit more worried.]

Are you okay? [The Raichu by our feet is not laughing at you. Really.]

[2ndworststarter]

[raichu

raichu are smug as fuck...]

...yeah, I'm okay. It just hatched, so...

[lightandthunder]

[Well, that's good. This guy is just going to walk over while stripping off his own gloves.]

Try putting these on? [Offering them! They're probably not too big, and you can likely guess what these are for. Raichu finally stops laughing to swish its tail cheerily.]

[2ndworststarter]

...huh! Didn't think of that.

...well, I'm sure I would've eventually, but thanks.

[he'll slip those suckers on then

...they're not particularly stylish but hey.

Meanwhile, Pichu notices... A GROWN-UP!!! So, uh, she will go over to say hi to Raichu.]

[rising_dawning]

[Trying really hard to not giggle at the scene in front of her.]

Aw, it's so adorable!

[2ndworststarter]

[oh... it is a younger Dawn.

...but... uh...]

...yeah, sure.

[rising_dawning]

What are you going to name it? It seems like a Spark to me. [Young...she's only 14. It's not that young. Pachirisu comes out of it's Pokeball and walks up to the two of them.]

[2ndworststarter]

I don't know... I'm not really the nicknaming type.

[The other Dawn he knows is 16, so it's a bit of a difference. Not too much, but you know them teenage years.

Pichu notices another electric rodent! ELECTRIC RODENT PARTY.]
