They still felt a little chilly from articuno’s recent expedition with their body, It never fared well when the bird wanted to use it for their own purposes, but this time felt like they’d purposefully gone out of their way to spend time in some of the coldest areas of Amoll. So safe to say they weren’t expecting that interesting but admittedly slightly strange child they’d met once before at a pokestop to talk to them again now nor could they predict the words out of her mouth.

Articuno.

She’s talking about articuno.

The momentary panic that made their heart race was likely almost palpable especially as they turned to stare at Silva, A swimming mix of trying to stay calm while their brain sorted through the many different Why’s, Why did silva know about articuno? could she sense something others couldn’t? had articuno not been careful and been caught? or...Impossibly, she had called articuno nice, Had...had they introduced themselves to silva? if so why? what out of her in particular had interested the bird who’d been interested by nobody for as long as they’d known them and as far as they knew. As long as they’d lived.

But if she knew, they couldn’t fib out of it and if articuno had their say, This wouldn’t be the last meeting either.

“Articuno needs to stay a secret, You can’t say anything to anyone about them besides me okay? They are a strong legendary but there’s people who can’t know about them or they might try to hurt articuno.”

Do they explain further? probably, Silva mentioned they feel different, She had to be able to tell the difference between the two.

It wasn’t the first time they’d met someone who didn’t quite understand the mechanics of pokestops, Especially if they weren’t in the initiative themselves (In which case, pokestops wouldn’t work for them, the only reason rockets could access them for supplies was due to temporarily hacking an individual stop-) though normally they stopped trying after the first five minutes, this one had not. So they supposed they should assist or at least explain what it did as they walked up to the currently inactive stop which softly flashed and lit up blue with a spinning pokeball symbol as they got near it, it could detect the ID cards of go initiative members.

"You looked as though you were curious, this is a poke stop, It’s for those apart of the go initiative to receive free items and occasionally pokemon eggs for contributing to data collection so it only reacts to those apart of it.”

raising their hand, they swiped it to the left, the pokeball symbol spinning briefly faster before turning purple. A few items dispensing from the machine at the bottom (it reminded them of a more functional vending machine-), a few potions, Razz berries, not terrible, They didn’t need the items so after a moment of consideration.
