Yeah, I think I could.

Blaise: When I was still a Fennekin, I found a stick in the woods I really liked and would pretend that it was a wand. Then when I evolved, it turned into an actual wand for me to use. It even changes size when I need it to! It’d look different if I had actually taken the starter wand my mom had gotten me, but I was obsessed with that stick for some reason.

"Oh, hello there, dears!" wave and tail wag. Like as always. But she's eating some food.

"I hope I'm not interrupting you with my look. Anyways, I'm Tsuya! I'm a child of Alola! What about both of you? Where ya both came from? Of course, you don't need to tell, woof ha." she's playful showing her right paw.

"Nice to meet you, Tsuya!" Meg said cheerfully, giving a little wave. "I'm Meg. I was born in Kanto, actually, but I spent most of my life in Kalos, which is where I still live nowadays. Rhyhorn racing capital of the world!"

"I'm from Unova," Kyo said simply, "but I live in Kanto for now as part of my deployment."

Yuko smiled brightly as Kyo approached her, recognition sparking in her eyes.

"Ah, hello again! It's a pleasure to see you again. Any friend of Nathaniel's is a friend of mine, especially one willing to give his disgraceful father the karmic justice he deserves," she tittered.

She took Kyo's hand in her own, shaking it firmly. One eyebrow raised a bit in surprise, but she remained smiling.

"Second Lieutenant, you say? How prestigious. I'm sure it's very well deserved; you seem incredible smart and capable, if you'll excuse my forwardness. My name is Yuko Akiyama. I used to be an executive, but those days are far behind me and are far less honorable. It's wonderful to officially make your acquaintance."

Taking a seat beside Hoku, Destiny's ears twitched slightly as her head turned towards the Torracat, then the Purrloin. She could just feel the tension between the two.

"Sorry if it's a bit rude to ask this, but why don't you two get along with each other? Is there a problem or something?"

Hoku: Dont worry, its not rude when everyone can see it. I actually dont remember when it started. I got to work in the CallCenter as a part timer before Choro joined us. So for all i care she should show me some respect! Well, so i thought. She isnt nasty to me but the snappy comments kinda get to me. Im a hot head after all!

From their distance you could hear an audible groan.

The Meowstics question about their relationship being more than co-workers makes the Torracat laugh. After a quick breather they answer her.

Hoku: No, we have never crossed that line and i think we wont. Im still a teenager and no idea how old that hag is!

Hoku: Okay, i deserved that.

The look on her face seemed to suggest that for a moment, she was seriously considering it. It'd be the first time anyone offered to actually help her instead of keeping away.

Surely her mother would come to view her differently. Surely her mother would...

... what was she thinking?

Such a silly, silly thought she had, that her mother would ever see her as useful!

She laughed. She laughed and laughed and laughed.

She paused. Seemed she realized right then what she just wrote.

She was slipping... she really hoped no one else noticed.

noblejanobii asked: (askthewhiterocket) After observing Shauna for a bit, Meowstic decided to approach her. Offering a wave to get her attention, Meowstic said, "You seem to have great magical strength, but I can sense a relative lack of control. Do you think it may be because you lack a psychic typing? If so, perhaps I could help walk you through some basic control exercises. Kyo did the same for me when I had trouble with my own strength as an Espurr."

Another quiver.

"Well, not quite." Destiny said, one of her ears twitching with nervousness. "The way you describe it is pretty close. The Aspect of Time is a blessing, though only a small fragment of the full piece. One that went missing at the same time as The First Hero."

"The Aspect of Time was previously used by the Champions that quelled Dialga's rage. The power to use it isn't really something that can be 'taught'. A mortal awakening an Aspect is already exceptionally rare."

"Only reason why this kind of thing doesn't shock me is because I've personally seen these events play out in my universe hundreds of times. This book is the proof of that."

Aya rolled her eyes. "Besides, I've been out here all week and it hasn't showed up once! I'm pretty sure it doesn't even come here."

"O-oh...Hi, again," the Applin shly waved to the disguised human. "I...I'm Momo."

"Hi again, Shinji!!" Aya's mood instantly lifted once she saw her friend. "You wanna know about the monster?"

"I've never seen it before...but my dads said some stuff about it....what was it again....oh!!! Right!!"

"The monster looks like an ordinary person!! But it's super eeevvvviiiillllll and has these two weird thingies by its ears and its face is super dark and shadowed and evil and scary looking!!!"

"A monster in the village?" Momo repeated, his face growing slightly pale. "I-I've never heard that before....I hope it isn't t-true...I thought all the monsters lived in the mountains..."
