Hau’s quick to know when someone isn’t from around here. Over years of experience, the alolan has learned certain PATTERNS following up to the evident ( if it’s their accent or clothes ) that lets him take a wild guess from time to time. Elaine was no different case. If her amazed reaction didn’t give it right away, the squirtle besides her sure was a key point. PROBABLY KANTONIAN, he thinks. ❝ A raichu, but I guess it could be considered an ALOLAN RAICHU for some. ❞
Zeus doesn’t HESITATE when it comes to showing off. He loves the attention given ( & ) when the girl’s eyes can’t get enough of a certain FLOATING PANCAKE, he knows it’s show time ! ❝ RAI ! Rai !! ❞ Paws on hips, looking up PROUDLY ( & ) so he goes, surfing his way through the crowd ( & ) those around them. He does it with such ease that Hau can’t help but to let out a small laugh.
❝ Slow down buddy !! You haven’t answered her QUESTION yet ! WELL, why don’t you ask him yourself ? I’m pretty sure he will be okay with it. ❞
“ Woah, that’s really a Raichu? It looks so different from the ones I’ve seen! ”
It might even be cuter, if she were to be completely honest-- but she wouldn’t say as much out loud. Sure, she didn’t have one on her team or anything, but she’d still feel bad comparing the two ( goodness knows, she’d been compared enough herself ). She couldn’t deny this Alolan Raichu’s charm though, especially as he ducked & weaved his way through the thin crowd of people, directly towards an increasingly excited Elaine.
“ And he can fly?? That’s so cool! How does he do that? ” was this Raichu a flying type? Either way, watching him glide so effortlessly through the air was a real treat. It really was like he was surfing!
“ Ask him myself? ” Elaine blinked a few times at the suggestion, but she supposed it made sense ask the Pokémon for it’s permission. “ Hi there! My name’s Elaine. That was some great surfing, little guy! Whaddya say, can I pet you? ”
