       Sometimes it was hard for Jay to stay in one place, and he had to go out of his gym to explore. His gym was rather green on the inside, so it did have an outside-feel to it, but not everything about his gym was open. He enjoyed taking his Pokémon out to go on a walk with him when he had the chance. He also took this as an opportunity to look at the fall plants, to see if there were any he could use for his Pokémon.

       Today, he had his Sawsbuck companion out, who found a spot between the trees to bask in the sun. The Pokemon was quite quiet compared to most of his team—it gave Jay more time to think. However, when he heard movement from his pokemon, he looked over to see what had startled it. There appeared to be another Sawsbuck, one that wasn’t his own. It looked well-kept, too, and Jay immediately knew it belonged to a trainer.

        ❝ It’s alright, ❞ he patted his own Sawsbuck, and settled him down right away (although, it did shake its head). Fixing his glasses, Jay examined the area more closely and looked for the owner of the beautiful pokemon. When he saw someone, he wondered how he should react. What if they wanted to battle way out here? He had to find a way to do this without causing ruckus.

❝ don’t move. ❞

she doesn’t speak very loudly, the soft yet clear tone to her voice being more than enough for the stranger to hear when they’re this far in the wilderness. returning her once sterile tweezers to the pink pokemon beside her, the blissey then hands her over a small bottle of saline solution ( hydrogen peroxide is too harsh on human tissue, she remembers ), and soaks a towelette in the liquid, dabbing it onto the man’s wounds–– obviously not afraid to apply pressure.

if it stung, that was a good thing. she’s supposed to be killing off the bacteria, after all. she’d rather that it gave a little sting than him get an infection.

Mari spent most of her time working. She loved being surrounded by the greenery of her family’s shop and talking to customers about something she loves. Being a person with little to no friends, she was often able to pick up shifts from her coworkers who couldn’t come to work for whatever reason. In a strange turn of events, Mari decided to take a day off and really enjoy the scenery of her hometown.

She was walking around aimlessly, enjoying the fresh air and floral aroma that surrounded the town. Seeing Armiin, Mari hesitated in a brief moment of social awkwardness, wondering if she should make conversation or walk away. They didn’t know each other very well, but they definitely weren’t strangers. He would often help the shop obtain flora that was harder to get. They often had small talk, but aside from those brief interactions, Mari had to admit, she didn’t know much.

A wave of confidence washed over her as she made her way towards the man, tapping his arm once she reached him. “Hey, Armiin!”

Looking up at him, Mari just realized how tall he was. All confidence disappeared at once as she realized she had nothing to say. “Umm... Thanks for getting those trilliums for us!” The brunette desperately thought of something to say, silently wishing she had more experience of social interactions outside of her work and family.

And we’re happy to have him back to wrangle some Pokémon!
