Kanji’s gotten pretty used to traveling around with all of his pokemon out. Jessica flew far above his head, keeping watch for people, pokemon, and anything that could cause her trainer to get lost. Marilyn scampered ahead, occasionally hurrying back to squeal excitedly about something or other, and Katie clung to Kanji’s back, fast asleep. Nocturnal pokemon have problems with daytime traveling. Even Thomas is tagging along, floating just above Katie and glaring at Jessica. He’s taken to protecting the little spider pokemon, somewhat obsessively

Misaki was still struggling with getting all of Sentret's fur dried when the squirrel Pokémon suddenly sprang out of his hands and zipped around behind him. Looking up to see what had startled the poor thing, Misaki found a little Pichu coming his way. And... it looked familiar.

"Marilyn-san!" At least, that was the Pichu Misaki hoped he was looking at. Weedle looked up curiously from his perch and Sentret continued to glare suspiciously from behind Misaki's back.

"Sunkern?" The grass Pokémon waddled and hopped up the bank towards their trainer, but quickly ran behind his back because OH MY GOSH WAS THAT ALSO A PIDGEOTTO COMING RIGHT FOR THEM?!

"It's Jessica-san?" Misaki, smiling, stood to his feet and waved. That meant Kanji-kun was probably on his way! It felt like it had been forever since he had last seen his friend over the PokéGear. And now, they were actually going to meet in person.

Marilyn squeals happily at the sound of her name, and comes to stand at Misaki's feet. She makes tiny squeaking noises as she holds her arms out and bounces a little, asking to be picked up the way a child would. Well, she is a baby pokemon, after all.

They're quickly joined properly by Jessica, who lands on the ground a few feet behind Marilyn. She chirps a greeting and waves before turning back to clean the feathers on her wing, making soft cooing noises to herself as she does so that seem to imitate humming.

Kanji catches up shortly after his Pidgeotto, not winded at all by his run. TV world training does wonders to get you in shape. He spots Misaki and grins.

"Hey! Misaki!" He calls, and Thomas makes a strange little growling noise as his trainer runs faster than he's floating and takes Katie with him. Jessica stops preening to chirp cheerfully at her beloved trainer, but holds her spot on the ground. Marilyn doesn't seem to even notice Kanji's return, so absorbed in the new people.

So... cute! Misaki reaches down and picks up the baby Pokémon, quite happy to hold it in his arms. This Pichu at least seemed better behaved than Hong Kong's, and yeah, this definitely had to be Marilyn if she was being so friendly.

When Jessica lands, Sunkern and Bellsprout huddle even closer against the back of Misaki's legs. Although she doesn't act hostile, they seem unwilling to come away just yet. Misaki sighs. "Come on, guys. It's just Jessica-san. Don't be rude."

"Sentret!" His Pokemon had seen Kanji before his yell quite reached Misaki's ears, so he was already looking up in time to see his new friend nearing. He raised his free arm and waved, forcing his Weedle to climb down his back a little.

"Kanji-kun!" He smiled... but the closer Kanji drew, the more that smile disappeared and was replaced by an open-mouthed stare. How does a guy at least a few years younger than him get to be that tall!?!? It just wasn't fair!
