The park was almost completely deserted, save for a few trainers and kids running around, Sitting on a lone bench, Kouki smiled gently as he watched the kids playing with the Pokemon that lived in the park. The sight made him smile brightly. It almost reminded him of himself when he had been much younger, too young to go out by himself on a journey. His friends and him had always played with the Pokemon that resided in the lake near their town. Although, his mom didn't really like that too much, given the fact that she had always been overprotective of him. Not to mention, he had started to go silent during those times. 

The smile on Kouki's face fell somewhat at that thought and he gazed down at his lap, where his board was sitting. It seemed like so long ago when he had started depending on his white board to communicate with other people. He no longer talked, not even when he was by himself or with his Pokemon. But somehow, it didn't bother him or his partners at all. They both had gotten used to it, in fact. Now, it was just a way of life. 

So caught up in his thoughts, Kouki didn't see the new person who had walked into the park, walking down the dirt path towards him. He didn't notice them until they stopped right in front of him. Blinking his eyes for a moment, Kouki gazed up at the stranger for a moment. 

Tilting his head a bit in question, Kouki gazed back down towards his board. He then moved his eyes right back towards the person. He wasn't sure what the person wanted, so he decided to ago ahead and ask. Pulling out his pen, he began writing on his board. Once he was finished writing, it held it up for the person to see. 

"Hilda let go!"

The normally quiet daycare could hear the fuss of a mother trying to detach her only child from her leg. The small girl growled and bark as she clung to her mothers leg, acting more like a pokemon then a normal girl who would be crying and such. This was Hilda who is 6 years old and attending her first day of public school, and also for the first time in her life having to interact with other children. While most kids would have at least the basic human interaction with her mother always working after their father walked out on them she has always been in the care of her moms pokemon. 

She barked, walked and did things as a pokemon would, she knew how to speak like a human but she spent more time with the Stoutland and lillipup then her own mother. So soon enough the sweet little girl was growling and barking as if she was a pokemon herself.

"Behave yourself, you need to make friends and I mean human friends. I honestly don't think it healthy for a child your age to be running around and barking like a lillipup. You're human." Her mother chid, while the young girl barely payed attention to her simply pouting in response. Of course soon enough she was forced to interact with the peasant other kids. She was crouched on all fours as she looked at the other kids, glancing as her mother went a bit of a distance and the gates closed behind her.

Guess she wasn't going to be able to run out of this.

Her blue eyes glanced around at the other children watching as they played amongst each other. Tilting her head slightly she spot some kids playing tag and an idea sparked in her head. She grins a bit as she approached one of the kids from behind, getting into a crouching position. Then without warning barked and tackled the poor victim to the ground as a gesture to play.
