[There's a bright little bird...lizard thing minding its own business on a branch, cleaning its feathers and looking around with puzzled curiosity. The owner of the PokéGear sets it standing in the fork of the tree and then starts to creep up the branch with hands and knees, trying to keep his breath quiet. He's a kid, small, small enough for the branch to hold his weight, but it dips and the Archen notices him. As one, they freeze, and then both leap at once, the Archen away and the boy towards it, in a crush of squawking and leaves and confusion.

The PokéGear falls, too, thudding to the grass amid the cries of Pokémon, and it's hard to tell what's happened for a minute until a Gallade comes to pick it up. He's balancing a four-year-old blond boy on his hip while a Togetic hovers in dismay, everyone dusty from the fall, but the kid squirms in the Gallade's hold and beams without smiling from behind his very familiar shades. Proud and apparently unhurt, Dave holds up a PokéBall towards the 'Gear.]


I caughted it.

[Wart the Gallade turns the camera to his own desperate, exasperated, bewildered face.]

Help me.

((Kiddo Dave replies will come from [personal profile] knightoftimeout!))

Sal-u-tations! ...sir?

[There's a lot she doesn't understand right now. But there's a... knightly alien thing? Asking for help over her scroll, so questions can wait.]

Do you require assistance?
knightoftimeout: (is it ok)

Oh, thank god. Penny, hey, do you know anything about--

[Dave interposes himself between the camera and Wart, reaching out to take hold of the PokéGear with one hand to steady it.]

What...what's a, a salad tation?
in4apounding: (let me explain u a thing)

That is a VERY good question, young man! "Salutations" is a greeting, or way of saying "hello!" My name is Penny, it's a pleasure to meet you! What's-

[Hang on, there was something important there.]

Wait, did your...

[Companion? Bodyguard? Interspecies adoptive parent?]

...friend know my name already?

[A sudden, thoroughly overdramatic gasp as she leans in close to the camera, eyes wide and curious.]

Is he PSYCHIC?

[Dave and Wart exchange a look. After a moment, Wart looks at the 'Gear again and ventures a tentative--]

Yes...? Yes. I'm a Psychic-type.
in4apounding: (grandma is making stew tonight)

That is absolutely AMAZING!

[And then a long, inquisitive stare, complete with tilted head.]

...A psychic type of WHAT, exactly? You don't look like any Faunus I'VE ever seen.
knightoftimeout: (oops)

[Wart just looks even more baffled, but Dave pats his chest to get his attention and sits up to whisper into his ear. Or. Whatever those things on the sides of his head are.]

...Ah. I'm a Pokémon. We're the, uh...animals here. I've been told to tell you this is not part of Remnant.
in4apounding: (yeah?)

Oooooooooooh, that explains SO MUCH. Thank you, sir!

[Penny that explains almost nothing.]

Do you still require assistance? I would be MORE than happy to help in ANY way possible.
knightoftimeout: (skeptical)

[personal profile] knightoftimeout 2016-05-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know much about...childcare...?

[Why is he even trying, actually. In the meantime, Dave scowls up at him, offended.]

'M not a child.
in4apounding: (what)

[And there's that curious head-tilt again.]

...Are you absolutely certain? Because you most definitely LOOK like a child.
