-- Oh. Oh, goodness. Looking up to see the large Pokemon towering above him, Zorua squeaked, hopping to his feet immediately. He'd never seen anything so big! What was this? "H-Hello?" Hopefully it wouldn't hurt him, whatever it was.

-- Aaaand he was off! He ran, looking for the best hiding place for him to blend in. Since this was just his first time playing with the other, he wouldn't use his abilities right away. Maybe in another round or two.

-- "'Kay!" He laughed a little bit. This was going to be fun. "I'm ready." He crouched down, ready to sprint off the second Gardy wasn't looking.

-- "Hide-n-seek!" He grinned widely up at the tall Pokemon, wagging his tail happily. "I bet you'll never be able to find me."

N slouched a bit at the mention of paying a game. He was still exhausted from their last game of hide-n-seek and he wasn’t planning on going through all of that again. “Maybe..Later." He replied with a chuckle, "I just wanted to check up on you and make sure you were okay.”

-- "Okay!" He laughed a little bit. He trotted up to the boy, rubbing his head on N's arm. He couldn't blame him from being tired-- Zorua was the best at hide-n-seek, after all. "I'm fine, N. How about you?"

-- Gardevoir... He'd never heard of one, but that made this encounter even more interesting! Surely he'd get something out of it. "I like the sound of that. Gardevoir."

-- "Yes." He looked over the other fox with interest. He didn't know what Pokemon she was, but he took the compliment with pride. "What are you? I've never seen you before."

N crouched down to Zorua’s eye level then smiled at him, “Hey Zorua. Sorry if I— Interrupted your meal.” He said in an apologetic voice then laughed a bit halfheartedly.

-- Zorua quickly relaxed as he recognized the boy, letting out a snicker of his own. "It's okay," he chirped. "I just didn't think it was you, that's all. Did you want to play again?" He wagged his tail.

-- Oh? Who was this? He'd never seen a Pokemon like him before. He cocked his head a little to one side with heightened interest. "Having a snack. What are you?" He asked. Maybe he'd try to mimic this Pokemon later.
