Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lynnette would enter the main area of the abandoned mall with her Ralts, Rea. It had been a while since she had done anything with her Ralts, and the girl had decided now was as good a time as any to bring her out again.

Walking through the mall, Jezebel spots something down a hallway. It was a Yungoos standing on a crate, surrounded by a much of various pokemon. "Why does it look like it's giving a speech of some sort. Wait no, nope, i was wrong; it's not the one giving the speech. What is it doing there anyways? Oh well, i'll let it be, i don't like getting involved in Politics of the pokemon Agenda." She said with a stern voice walking off.

-Side Area A: Flooded Clothing Store-

Crystal narrowed her eyes, looking at the store in front of her, and specifically the copious amounts of water everywhere. "Right... Donne? Donne. Stop that. You're going to make half the Pokémon come out and attack us if you knock something over spinning." The hybrid turned to her Bronzor for a moment before rolling up her pant legs. "Alright then..." She poked her paw into the water really quickly before removing it, making a nervous looking face before fully putting her foot in. "I used to like swimming before I became a hybrid..." She cringed as she began walking though, Donne at least stopping his spinning as the Pokémon watched his trainer's ears lay back on her head, nearly conforming to the shape of her head.

"Another clown," Night said dryly as she turned away and decided to start looking in other areas of the mall.

A jingling sound could be heard a little ways away, and Lynnette would turn to see a Klefki. Although it was a cute Pokemon, it wasn't quite what Lynn was looking for this time around. The girl and her Ralts would continue walking deeper into the mall, eyeing some of the abandoned stores and wondering what they may have contained before. Not that it mattered, they were here to find a new friend, not something to buy.

"Been a while since I tried this," I shrugged, moving out to the main area with Yuki by my side. I had to ignore the instinct to carry her as I didn't want to get shocked. "Alright, let's see what we get," I added once I was out and about, looking for whatever Pokemon I could find.

"Good luck!" Keiko shouted from the register bench, apparently rooting for me as I went. I was glad for the moral support, but worried that her shouting would scare away the Pokemon.

Crystal continued to look around, keeping an eye out for anything that would want to ambush her. Though, the first thing that crossed her path was a cute little Azuril, splashing around everywhere. "Huh.. Bah!" She tried to block the water away futily, and there were too many droplets to be blocked. "Bah... Wait, where'd Donne go?" She quickly looked around, somehow losing her little Bronzor already. "Seriously? Does that guy have wanderlust or something?"

"Mr. Mime, huh?" I mused, looking down at the baby Psychic-type. "I suppose I could use it if I ever get around to becoming a full-out Channeler. Guess you get to fight something today, Yuki."

"Pichu!" Yuki cheered, ecstatic for the opportunity to grow strong. The small electric rodent jumped in front of Mime Jr, electricity sparkling out of her cheeks.

"Try not to get too excited, Yuki," I warned her. "At least not until you learn to control your electricity. For now, use Nasty Plot to strengthen your moves."

Yuki stared at Mime Jr for a bit, almost as if she were curious. But, as a mean idea formed in her mind, she smirked maliciously, and imbued her body with Dark-type energy, enhancing her proficiency with special moves. The Mime Jr, however, was unimpressed with the tiny electric rodent, and decided she wasn't worth its time. It demonstrated this by closing its eyes and using Meditate, enhancing its proficiency with physical moves and helping it to ignore Yuki.

"I bet a little peck on the cheek will get its attention," I told Yuki, who agreed to the idea and executed it, using Sweet Kiss on Mime Jr. Due to its confusing, Mime Jr could no longer focus on its meditation, but it didn't let its mental state stop it from punishing Yuki with a powered-up Doubleslap. Unfortunately for Mime Jr, slapping Yuki's cheeks caused her to lose control of her electricity, triggering her ability. Now, Mime Jr was confused AND paralyzed.

"Now that you have its attention, show it how charming you can be," I suggested. Yuki smirked, forming little hearts of pink Fairy-type energy above her head. Somehow, Mime Jr saw it, and was certainly affected by it. Unfortunately, it found another way to make its attacks more effective by using Tickle on Yuki.

By now, I was done playing the defensive game. "No more holding back, Yuki. Thundershock."

Yuki complied, firing sparks of electricity at Mime Jr. But between the Psychic-type's confusion, its paralysis, and the powerup Yuki got from Nasty Plot, Yuki's attack was just too much for Mime Jr, and it fainted.

"Jeez, one hit?" I scoffed, looking down upon its fainted form. "I guess we play the defensive game a little too well, huh, Yuki?"

"Chuu..." Yuki agreed sadly.

"Well, can't catch this one. Let's keep looking," I sighed, walking away from Mime Jr on our search for a stronger Pokemon to add to our team.
