[Somewhere around the CMA, there's a Cynthia and her Garchomp, both having recently returned to the Island in a blissful state of ignorance concerning latest events. Which may or may not make for awkward meetings, depending on what fate held in store for the Champion.

For now, she has found herself a nice little spot to do some catching up on her

[What is this. It's almost enough to make him smile, because... really, that's quite the mental image.]

... you're going to dribble that on your research.

[battledancing]

["Almost" enough is not good enough. But we'll leave that for later. For now, she'll peek at him from behind her book and smile in greeting.]

I'm pretty used to doing this, but I promise to be careful.

[caped_elite]

It would be a shame to ruin everything you've done thanks to chocolate.

[He'll remain standing, because just sitting down is presumptuous and rude. What if she doesn't want to be disturbed?]

[battledancing]

Chocolate and mint! [She playfully corrects, as though that made things so much better.]

Come, Garchomp, scoot a little closer. [That's an implied invitation for Lance to take a seat, btw.]

[battledancing]

[Oh, no need to be shy, Cynthia would gladly invite you to take a seat! You just. Need to attract her attention first, somehow.

Her research eats her soul, you know. No pun intended.]

[battledancing]

[That sneeze does catch her attention, so she looks up from her read and smiles at the girl.]

If you're getting a cold, you should stay inside and rest.

[Unfortunately for them both, saying that it was peaceful was like telling the great spirit of Murphy to mess things up and make it peaceful no more.

Case in point, a man screams as he falls from the sky and is plowed into the
ground nearby.]

......owie......

[battledancing]

[Yes, of course she had to go and jinx it. But that's not her main concern; right now, she's more worried about the figure who just happened to land by out of the blue.]

Are you all right?

[nomissings]

[He pops right up with a comical SPROOOOOOINGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! sound. He looks....out of it to say the least]

And that was the news. We're turning it over to Malcom for sports. Malcom?

[And he falls over again :V]

[battledancing]

[Blink, blink.]

Ah... Are you sure you don't need help? You might have had a concussion there...

[g3_jupiter]

[Jupiter is standing a distance away, her Skuntank by her side. She was approaching to ask something to Cynthia, but Skuntank has just stepped in her way and stopped her with a string of Pokémon cries roughly translatable to "NO NO NO NO NO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS IS A DIFFERENT CYNTHIA D8 ". To which Jupiter mumbled a "Ah. Okay, then." Having a smart Pokémon with a sharp sense of smell is a blessing.

It seems she still thinks it prudent to watch this Cynthia's actions from afar, though. If Cynthia turns in her direction, she'll see the Galactic Commander sitting on a rock, with Skuntank by her side.]

[battledancing]

[And since Cynthia is more aware of Pokemon around her than people, the first thing she notices is Skuntank's presence. It was only when she looked up further that she noticed Jupiter in the distance.

There was something wrong with her, though. She couldn't quite place her finger on it, but it was strange to see a Galactic Commander so quietly sitting by, no misdeeds coming down her way. So for now, the Champion decides to just watch the other woman, saying no words for the time being.]

[g3_jupiter]

[Finally, Jupiter decides to say something - yelling, so that Cynthia will both hear her and have a confirmation that yes, Jupiter is as rude as she has always been.]

HUMPH! YOU'D THINK THE CHAMPION WOULD WANT TO SET AN EXAMPLE AND HAVE HEALTHIER EATING HABITS THAN THAT!

[battledancing]

[... one day, Cynthia will learn not to jinx her luck.]

If you had some, it might put you in a better mood. [She doesn't yell, but she does lift her ice cream carton as though in offering. Who knows, perhaps they could have some resemblance of normal conversation that didn't involve destroying the world.]

[oceans_princess]

[Manaphy here happens to be sitting in the tree above you. That's a lot of papers, miss. And hey, that ice cream looks yummy. Going to bug you with hopes of getting some.]

Hello down there!!

[battledancing]

Hello! [She looks up, smiling at the human-like Pokemon.] That's an usual place to be sitting in, hmm?

[oceans_princess]

Climbing trees is fun!! Are you having fun?

[battledancing]

I certainly am! I might not be climbing any trees, but what I'm doing is very much fun, nonetheless.
