6th Petal // Video - Action for Goldenrod

[artificialrose]

[Yet another friend having disappeared- a young girl he'd promised to be there for- has had Garry in a bit of a quiet mood, although never enough that he'll forget Ib. It had hurt for Saionji's promise of coming back after the storm to go unfulfilled, and to find all those Pokemon in his and Ib's PC...]

[And then today he'd gone out aaaaand-]

It's Free Ice Cream Day! [Garry is thrilled.] That's just the sort of thing I think we all need after everything! Ib, we should take Saionji's Pokemon and see if we can't cheer them up with some!

[And something for themselves, of course.]

If anyone else is in Goldenrod, we should meet up! It looks like the weather is beautiful, so there's no better time to meet new people as well.

[Action]

[And indeed- Garry is seated at one of the outdoor seats of an ice cream parlor with Saionji's Pokemon out enjoying treats of their own. Saionji's Pokemon have been... a handful, but it looks like this has managed to distract them for now.]

Comments

[codeforhope]

Well, let's see...

[Chihiro looks around after they've exited the parlor, tapping his fingers against the side of his cone thoughtfully.]

Maybe the Department Store? If anywhere has chew toys for Pokemon, I'd assume it would be there.

[artificialrose]

That's true! It does seem they have just about everything there. It's really handy.

[He heads off in that direction, making sure to keep his strides shorter than usual. Long legs and all mean he could easily take off and not realize he's left poor Chihiro in the dust.]

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro follows him diligently, with his Abra still hovering behind, Flareon and Growlithe following at his heels, and a very chocolately Linoone still working to lick the ice cream from his face and paws.]

Mhm! I've actually only been a couple of times...you know, to buy TMs and evolution stones.

[artificialrose]

I browse around them sometimes, just for fun- Bice and Izzy are the two that I really want to focus on for right now although Kaigo would be smart as well. Eevees always seem to sell well from what I've seen.

[codeforhope]

They do...probably because they are so versatile.

[They can evolve into nearly every type, so it definitely comes in handy when you're not sure what kind of Pokemon you'd rather have on your team.]

Remind me to get a Fire Stone while we're here, by the way...I want to evolve Hogosha sometime, but I'm not sure when he'll be ready.

[artificialrose]

Hogosha...

[Garry puts a hand to his chin, doing his best to remember which of Chihiro's pokemon he knows.]

Which one is that? I don't think I've met that one.

[codeforhope]

That's him!

[Chihiro points to the Growlithe currently trotting next to Garry, looking up at him happily with his tongue lolling from his jaws.]

[artificialrose]

Oh! [Garry gives a small laugh, bending down to briefly run his fingers through the top of the Growlithe's fur.] Hello there! So that's you.

[codeforhope]

[Hogosha gives a soft little 'woof' at Garry's petting him, tilting his head up so he can lick his fingers.]

You would probably like a chew toy too...wouldn't you?

[Chihiro asks, the little Growlithe tipping his head to the side curiously before barking again.]

[artificialrose]

[The friendliness makes Garry chuckle again.]

Maybe that's what the shopping ship should end up as- toys for all our Pokemon. I'm sure it would do wonders for keeping them entertained.

[codeforhope]

Hehehe, I wouldn't mind if it did! Especially since I couldn't bring everyone out to get ice cream...

[artificialrose]

Then it's settled!

[As the department store comes into view, Garry hums in thought.]

Chew toys or just things to toss around might be good for a lot of my Pokemon... But I wonder what sort of things Hana and Kawa would like since they're bird Pokemon, or Skye... She's a Lapras.

[codeforhope]

Hmm...well, I know a lot of pet stores back home had things for birds and....other types of animals. Like little bells, and things.

[..What does Lapras count as, though, in comparison to actual animals? ...a turtle...??]

[artificialrose]

It'd be easier if they were the kind of birds you kept in cages, but they're too big and too smart for something like that.

[They're not even really his Pokemon, it would feel EXTRA rude to do that to them.]

Maybe something like a beach ball? Light enough for them to bounce around in the air.

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro doesn't have any bird Pokemon himself yet, but...well, he can imagine.]

That could work. I think they'd enjoy something like that. Water types would, too, wouldn't they?

[artificialrose]

So it would work for all of them! [He holds the door open for Chihiro.] What about you?

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro walks on inside, waiting for Henko, Hogosha, Chiaki, and Isamu to all file in after.]

Well...I know Horu is going to need something sturdy, if he's going to be chewing on it a lot. And Hogosha and Isamu would probably just like a ball to play with...
