This is the relationship chart for Adelha in regards to Obey Me!

[typingdyslexiaisathing]

Today would have been the 37th birthday of my best friend and adopted sister. She is no longer here with us. Still missing her.

[adelha-mathilde]

Continuation of this thread with @hylianwerewolf and Pokemon:

Adelha picks up the grumpy Snubbull to give him a kiss on the head. Making the Snubbull wiggle and give a happy sound of appreciation. Which has Adelha smile wide. "There's that happy face. Good little grumpy one. Do your best to behave and not put all your weight on that foot, please."

A shadow from above soon has a very big Xatu float down to land by Adelha and gaze at the pair. Soon leaning down for the Snubbull to be placed on the head of the Xatu. Adelha hums to look pleased. "You two will be a team until that sock comes off. Be sure you use the safety flight rules we set in place. Avoid flying too high with a passenger and be polite to each other."

Xatu gives a polite sound of agreement for the Snubbull to give a few eager barks of excitement. Which has Xatu smile to float on up and into the sky for the Snubbull to yip in delight. The two staying by the manor house to fly circles as Adelha chuckles. "One way to entertain the little ones is with sky time. But only with the Psychic flying Pokemon that can instantly know when they need to come back down. Sky time makes nap time so much easier for many of the little ones as of late. They have so much fun they are dozing off before their heads hit the pillow."

Champagne continues the drumming with pure glee. Wiggling and tapping away like he's having the time of his life. Only for a soft alarm to sound off from Denny for him to cheep. "It is now time to prepare the meals for the hungry ones. Several have requested potato salad. Most just want berry salad." Adelha sighs to sound amused. "Time to be in the kitchen for a while. Making meals tends to be quite the long process. Yet seeing happy faces makes it all worth while."

T.K. snickers to then float himself over to perch slightly on Adelha's shoulder and give a few sounds of glee. Which has Denny sigh to note, "Someone really wants to help with taste testing the potato salad. You know the rules. You want to taste test. You have to help with making it. Hey Silver. Do you have any food allergies we need to know about or food you don't like?"

"A Thread of Stillness"

One of my three latest paintings from a connected series, available on my website

Each piece feels like part of the same quiet passage, tied together by light, water, atmosphere, and a subtle sense of transition.

wait hear me out-

ok so not to forcefully adopt this idea as an au from @katzebruh or anything (because i'm unreasonably insane about it for some reason, literally a dozen other caine-centric AUs out there that are infinitely more complex and compelling and i picked this one, fuck it dawg we ball) but my headcanon is that caine genuinely was testing out modifiers and accidentally fucked up forever, if i had a nickel- and he's super conflicted about it...

because on one hand... he's a silly cat furry thing now and literally whats not to love? the humans like it and admittedly doing kitty things is really nice sometimes! chin scritches have never felt so good, honestly he would figure out how to get rid of it sooner if everyone wasn't enjoying it so much!

on the other hand... yikes... an unfixable bug? one that screws with his brain? stop me if you've heard this one before-

awww his widdle ears are so cute though awww and the paws awww

Ie Naki Ko Remy - Episode 23

[adelha-mathilde]

The maiden looks to the taller blonde with thoughtful warmth. But his words have her close her eyes to then recite something.

"Ezekiel 28:13 is what you are referring to. 'Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.' That verse is the primary text often cited to describe Lucifer’s musical nature before his fall, suggesting he was designed to have music as an essential part of his being."

The maiden opens her eyes to look up at the blonde with warmth in her gaze. A smile stretching as she speaks further. Looking like she is more than glad to be having this random discussion with the blonde.

"Most tend to view such not as music, but as a reference to beauty and jewelry adornments. Or that Lucifer was made to lead in the musical worship of our Sovereign Lord. I tend to lean towards the beauty aspect. Lucifer is said to have been the most glorious and majestic looking of all the angels. Which his fall did not diminish. Hence why Sin looks so appealing to humans. Or that is what my mum told me once during a bible study she was having with the elders of our church."

A pause is given as the maiden thinks a bit more to nod her head in agreement of something the blonde said earlier. "I do agree that Lucifer is envious of such things. However. I usually spend my time reflecting on what our Sovereign gave us in this life to find His abiding love and joy. Be it a sunrise. A new litter of puppies. Or the people around us."

[lovethisheart]

Lofty descriptions, of a world that was beyond the one he grew in, light-years away, and yet still held close to the heart of humanity. Maybe that was the prime of keeping cultures of that world alive, the long-held beliefs that were passed from each generation. It was astonishing that the oral tradition was kept for so long, and the scripts preserved long after the deaths of the human authors. "...Hm. Little strange to think of, when you see where his creation went now. There's not many beautiful things on Gunsmoke, though."

The silence is purposeful. Begging for the thought to linger without intoning a likely sacrilege, 'Selah.' Had humanity been meant to go to another planet, to abandon the creation they destroyed, hoping in their absence it would live again? Was this their punishment, for hubris sake that the first fleet would fail on the desert surface? So far, people had stubbornly clung to life. Maybe that hope was enough. " If... the person who taught me those things were here, I think she'd agree with you. I don't think she talked about Hell as much as heaven- but, I wasn't that old, back then."

[adelha-mathilde]

The lady spends those moments of pause watching the blonde with warm interest. Taking in his face and hair as well as his posture with a kind of quiet appreciation. Yet she does take the time to move and reach into her duffel bag. Soon removing a very old bottle of what looks to be mead. Along with two metal cups for her to set them upon the table with a hum of offering.

"It is tradition for me to celebrate a moment such as this with a rare treat or humble activity. So I would share this Melomel with you. Namely, honey wine made with raspberries. A tiny piece of Heaven for us to delight in, as my old neighbor would say."

A moment of the lady opening the bottle for the scents of sugar, honey and fruits to waft out. She soon pours the drink into both cups before taking hers. A slow sip for her to them openly sigh with pure bliss. Letting herself soak in the moment before she grins at the blonde.

"Wherever we dwell. There is good to be found. Nothing will ever truly take away the good from us. The Lord is everywhere and in every moment. Since He is the source of all love, hope, joy and fulfillment, we may find such anywhere and everywhere. Especially good company and good music. This in itself is beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?"

[lovethisheart]

"That mindset leads to the possibility of treating every night like Friday night." @adelha-mathilde came in for a notion...

" Ah? That's something for hourly employees to worry about."

"... Lang-Zi says, Celebrate when the time has come. Rest, when the grass is dry. The prey of tomorrow choose the same meadows when the pack prowls quietly."

[adelha-mathilde]

"I admit. I have not heard such a phrase before. It depicts a kind of leisure most would miss out on."

"My favorite way to relax is in my greenhouse or on the porch. Sunshine above me. My many puppies around me. A book in hand or my Bible to read. Enjoying the peace of the moment with my fluffy ones."

The lady hums to then note, "Either with iced raspberry tea. Or the honeyed mead I tend to prefer. What might be the perfect way to relax?"

[adelha-mathilde]

Continuation of this play time with wonderful Pokemon and @hylianwerewolf right here:

Adelha decides to sit herself in the grass next to Silver as the Pokemon mingle. Champagne looks elated to be giving silly little taps to Feraligatr's head. With Denny saying, "There he goes with the silly. Champagne tends to enjoy drumming on everything. Despite being mute, he makes enough noise to compare to a Loudred."

Growlithe is very happy to zoom after the ball and bring it back right away. Looking overjoyed to have a new friend to play with. With Darcy being very careful as she helps Crobat get a face bath. The water has some herbs in it to make it smell refreshing. T.K. is apparently having a warm discussion with the other Gengar about something. Only pausing when one of the Growlithe decides to scamper over and then slip and faceplant into the grass. So T.K. floats that Growlithe back onto her feet for her to yip and start running around again.

The lady hums to sound thoughtful. Her words warm and hinting at amusement. "If such is a shared desire, you both will make it into reality. My own starter friend was a very spunky Pikachu. Her name is Hermoine. She's a Raichu now and tends to not move about much. Old age means arthritis. So she doesn't move about much until I give her a daily treatment of herbal medicine and lots of orange juice. She loves orange juice the most and tended to steal oranges out of my backpack when we were on the road."

A few of the Growlithe decide to chase each other around the yard. Yipping and growling in play to look like they are having way too much fun. Even going so far as to run laps around Alakazam.

Such silly little Pokemon they are.

[hylianwerewolf]

Feraligatr actually seemed to enjoy the drumming, which actually felt more like a gentle massage against its thick hide... Which made a rather distinctive sound when tapped. It seemed both of them benefited from this, which made Silver huff a laugh. He took in the rest of the activities his team were engaged in with a small smile, though it faltered a bit when he listened to what Adelha had to say.

"I suppose you're right."

Silver thought about that for a moment; He had failed in his quest to become the Champion, beaten at every turn by Ethan. Even after he had gained the title, the redhead had challenged him time and again... Only to once again taste defeat. He has left Johto partially to find new places to train and better himself and his team, but somewhere deep down, he knew he wouldn't be able to beat the Johto Champion. Regardless, he continued to throw the ball for the Growlithe.

"My first Pokémon was Totodile... Because my rival chose Cyndaquil, and I desperately wanted to beat him. I never managed to, though... Even after all these years."

He had actually settled down for a while, living as a more typical Trainer would; His job at the Daycare had provided him with the income he needed in lieu of battles, and he had been content... For a time. Eventually, the thrill of battling had called to him again, and he had set out with his team in search of stronger opponents to learn from. He was determined to visit every region in the world in his search... And if he came across any Team Rocket activity and took them down a peg as well, all the better.

[adelha-mathilde]

The Pokemon continue to play and talk amongst themselves as Adelha watches the group. Listening as Silver speaks to look very thoughtful. One of the Growlithe choosing to wander over and just flop into her lap for a rest. So Adelha uses both her gloved hands to pet the Growlithe and comb her fingers through that messy fur. Making the Growlithe wag her tail to look elated. While Adelha hums a sound of amusement before she decides to speak. "Defeat is a hard lesson in it of itself. Yet it offers many chances to learn and grow. Yet I see you have chosen to endure despite defeat. This is a very good thing, Silver. It means you have a bright future ahead. Even if it's not the future you first expected."

Champagne continues the drumming with a smile and happy wiggles. The odd sounds having the Fairy smile as he enjoys the play time. Adelha watches this with a look of pure love and joy. Her smile brighter than before. "My journey was one of self growth. I wanted to know myself better and make myself into the best version possible. I looked at Gym Badges and battles as means to temper myself and my team. Who I viewed more like friends and family. Hermoine proved to be spunky and wild. She didn't like listening at first. Bit me on occasion whenever she got herself hurt and I was treating her. Yet we grew and she learned that her stubborn nature was holding her back. She learned patience and kindness. We found more joy together once she stopped acting out and chose instead to follow my lead. Now she is a big sister to all my Pokemon and the ones living here."

Adelha hums to then chuckle when the Grolwithe in her lap rolls herself over to get tummy rubs. So Adelha obliges as she smiles bright. "This place is a safe haven to nurture as much as protect. This includes teaching and learning to better ones self. If this appeals to you, I would offer you a place here as my student. You would help with chores. Mostly wrangling energetic little Pokemon that don't want to take naps or get into a bathtub. While also battling the more ferocious of the Pokemon that decide to cause trouble. Or defending the Pokemon here from any threats from the mainland. Team Rocket has showed up several times over the past few years. Thankfully, they were dealt with swiftly and turned over to the mainland authorities on counts of trespassing and vandalism of private property."

Denny gives a long grumpy growl to then float back over and say a few things openly. "We never did get that payment from Giovani to replace the trees their Pokemon destroyed. I did send another invoice notice to all involved. But I doubt we're going to get them to pay it. Makes me so gosh darned mad. Those trees were just getting to full grown." Adelha sighs to simply state, "Let the anger fade away. Those trees could have been felled by a random lightning strike. It simply happened. We must learn to let such go and make do with the fallout. The little ones got to play in the mud when we dug up the tree stumps. We also had extra lumber for a bit. We may also enjoy the fact more legal paperwork for Team Rocket as a company means more headaches for their workers to handle as a byproduct. Take the small wins when you can."

Seems the nice lady does have a vindictive side to her.

[hylianwerewolf]

"Your student, huh?"

Silver looked very thoughtful, looking away and staying silent for a few minutes. All of the benefits definitely sounded good to him... And he really had no specific destination in mind when he had set out from Johto.

"... Sounds good to me."

The mere mention of Team Rocket and Giovanni, however, was enough to put a scowl on the young Trainer's face; His eyes were filled with suppressed rage. Clearly, this young man had some history with the criminal organization.

"Don't worry. If Team Rocket ever shows their face here again... I'll deal with them myself. I'm more than strong enough to send them packing."

[adelha-mathilde]

Adelha looks very assured of Silver's strength. A hum escaping her lips. But before she might say anything, a rather loud cry is heard in the distance. Which has T.K. immediately zoom off towards the noise. Adelha looks concerned to soon stand as the Growlithe give yips of alarm. With Denny saying, "That sounded like someone got hurt."

Sure enough, T.K. floats back with a very distressed Snubbull. The little one crying his eyes out for there to be a very bad looking cut on the bottom of his foot. Making the Growlithe gather around in a protective circle as Adelha heaves a long sigh of air. "It would seem I will need an extra pair of hands already. Since this little scamp likes to bite when he gets a bath or a booster shot."

T.K. nods to then look a tad miffed when the Snubbull tries biting one of T.K.'s shadow appendages that are keeping the hurt Pokemon aloft. Soft wails of pain coming from the Snubbull as Adelha takes out a mini first aide kit from the pocket of her dress. "See? Which means I will have to have someone hold him in place as someone else keeps him from biting and or chewing. I suspect he decided to explore around one of the greenhouses and a pane of glass broke. Darling little pups. Go and see if that is the case." Four of the Growlithe bark to then head off towards the greenhouses. Yipping for other Pokemon to be aware of the possible danger. With Champagne looking very worried as the Snubbull starts crying buckets of tears. Poor thing.

[hylianwerewolf]

"Don't worry. I've got this."

Silver immediately leaped into action, firmly but gently restraining the poor Snubbull; Clearly his experience from working at the Goldenrod Day Care was coming in handy here. He'd had to perform similar tasks when some of the Pokémon being cared for there got a little too rowdy.

"Settle down... You're okay. It hurts now, but we're going to fix it. You have to be strong."

Even though his expression did not change from the stoic mask he always seemed to wear, the young man clearly cared for the Pokémon in his arms. Throughout his journey, he had learned to love all Pokémon, regardless of their strength... And now it had become second nature to him.

After all... For a long time... All he'd ever had were his Pokémon.

[adelha-mathilde]

The Snubbull gives a grumpy growl at being told to stay still. Tears still falling as Adelha opens the first aide kit. While T.K. uses that shadow paw so Silver doesn't get nibbled on. Adelha is able to give the little Snubbull words in a foreign dialect that is lilted but warm. First using a kind of red glue paste on the cut. Snubbull wiggles his foot in agitation. But then he calms down to just sniffle and grump. Making Adelha hum as she gets to work with the stitches. "Good little grumpy one. I know very well it's not fun. Especially when the cut is on your foot."

Denny floats close to Silver to watch and then give a happy sound. "Wow. I guess Silver really did work at a day care before. Took charge like a pro. I vote he does the next round of brushings for the furry ones. Might even want to have his Alakazam help with levitating brushes through fur." Adelha chuckles to then heave a long sigh of air. "Brushing all the little wiggling waifs tends to be a chore. Despite many of them adoring ear rubs and tummy tickles. Half of them try to weasel out of brushing half way through to go play in mud puddles or bushes."

Champagne floats over to just flop gently onto Silver's head and tap his little arms to Silver's head. The wiggling from the little Fairy making his collar jingle with every tap. While Adelha finishes with the stitching to bandage Snubbull's foot and then put a sock on it. "And done. We will have to ask a Ghost or Psychic friend to help you move about for a bit. Means you get to float through life for a bit." Denny and T.K. roll their eyes at the pun for the Snubbull to do the stoic stare of not amused.

Ngh cute

[asralovecuchulainn]

Good Morning~ I just realized that this blog is slowly turning into Cu Chulainn’s fan blog… well not like I can’t help it! He’s my favorite! Especially after HF happened! I need to console myself somehow after all that lol Uhh, fine, maybe I should post other character too or something… Hmm… Now that aside. How do you pronounce Cu Chulainn’s name anyway? I tend to pronounce name the way its written… So it sounds like [Cu-Cu-Layn] or [Cu-Cu-Rain]. The Japanese pronounces it [Ku-Fuu-Rin] with [クー・フーリン] as its written form though. Sometimes it sounds like [Ku-Huu-Lin] too. Hmm… food for thought.

Champagne continues the drumming with a smile and happy wiggles. The odd sounds having the Fairy smile as he enjoys the play time. Adelha watches this with a look of pure love and joy. Her smile brighter than before. "My journey was one of self growth. I wanted to know myself better and make myself into the best version possible. I looked at Gym Badges and battles as means to temper myself and my team. Who I viewed more like friends and family. Hermoine proved to be spunky and wild. She didn't like listening at first. Bit me on occasion whenever she got herself hurt and I was treating her. Yet we grew and she learned that her stubborn nature was holding her back. She learned patience and kindness. We found more joy together once she stopped acting out and chose instead to follow my lead. Now she is a big sister to all my Pokemon and the ones living here."

Adelha hums to then chuckle when the Grolwithe in her lap rolls herself over to get tummy rubs. So Adelha obliges as she smiles bright. "This place is a safe haven to nurture as much as protect. This includes teaching and learning to better ones self. If this appeals to you, I would offer you a place here as my student. You would help with chores. Mostly wrangling energetic little Pokemon that don't want to take naps or get into a bathtub. While also battling the more ferocious of the Pokemon that decide to cause trouble. Or defending the Pokemon here from any threats from the mainland. Team Rocket has showed up several times over the past few years. Thankfully, they were dealt with swiftly and turned over to the mainland authorities on counts of trespassing and vandalism of private property."

Denny gives a long grumpy growl to then float back over and say a few things openly. "We never did get that payment from Giovani to replace the trees their Pokemon destroyed. I did send another invoice notice to all involved. But I doubt we're going to get them to pay it. Makes me so gosh darned mad. Those trees were just getting to full grown." Adelha sighs to simply state, "Let the anger fade away. Those trees could have been felled by a random lightning strike. It simply happened. We must learn to let such go and make do with the fallout. The little ones got to play in the mud when we dug up the tree stumps. We also had extra lumber for a bit. We may also enjoy the fact more legal paperwork for Team Rocket as a company means more headaches for their workers to handle as a byproduct. Take the small wins when you can."

Seems the nice lady does have a vindictive side to her.

Continuation of this play time with wonderful Pokemon and @hylianwerewolf right here:

Adelha decides to sit herself in the grass next to Silver as the Pokemon mingle. Champagne looks elated to be giving silly little taps to Feraligatr's head. With Denny saying, "There he goes with the silly. Champagne tends to enjoy drumming on everything. Despite being mute, he makes enough noise to compare to a Loudred."

Growlithe is very happy to zoom after the ball and bring it back right away. Looking overjoyed to have a new friend to play with. With Darcy being very careful as she helps Crobat get a face bath. The water has some herbs in it to make it smell refreshing. T.K. is apparently having a warm discussion with the other Gengar about something. Only pausing when one of the Growlithe decides to scamper over and then slip and faceplant into the grass. So T.K. floats that Growlithe back onto her feet for her to yip and start running around again.

The lady hums to sound thoughtful. Her words warm and hinting at amusement. "If such is a shared desire, you both will make it into reality. My own starter friend was a very spunky Pikachu. Her name is Hermoine. She's a Raichu now and tends to not move about much. Old age means arthritis. So she doesn't move about much until I give her a daily treatment of herbal medicine and lots of orange juice. She loves orange juice the most and tended to steal oranges out of my backpack when we were on the road."

A few of the Growlithe decide to chase each other around the yard. Yipping and growling in play to look like they are having way too much fun. Even going so far as to run laps around Alakazam.

Such silly little Pokemon they are.

Continuation of thread where this arrival to Pokemon Sanctuary with @hylianwerewolf here to keep mobile dash less cluttered

Denny gives a happy chirp to smile bright. "So you are from the Johto region! Haven't been there myself. But we're glad you are here. There is a caretaker who lives here full time. Since her family owns this island. We would be glad to lead you to the main manor house. Or would you like to rest for a minute?"

Darcy gives a few sounds to then turn when the sound of a bell chiming makes it's way to them. A Togetic with a bell collar flying up to look well cared for and very pleased to see this new arrival. The Togetic soon taking Silver by a hand to shake it in greeting. Which has Denny sigh to smile and look amused. "Say hello to Champagne. He's the caretaker's darling little scamp. He tends to be the volunteer welcome wagon when anyone shows up."

Champagne smiles to wiggle his feet as he floats in the air. Making no vocal sounds but seemingly overjoyed to see Silver. With Darcy using her free hand to give Champagne a pat on the head.

It's clear that these Pokemon act like a family towards each other.

[hylianwerewolf]

Silver answered with a huff and nod of his head when it was acknowledged that he was from Johto. He certainly wasn't the warmest person, but he was at least kind to Champagne; He had learned during his journey that all Pokémon deserved kindness.

"I suppose I should see the caretaker... I'm on their island, after all."

He didn't say anything else, though he did look at the Pokémon interacting with one another somewhat wistfully; He wondered if all families acted that way towards one another... And that led to thoughts about what things might have been like for him if he'd grown up with a normal family of his own.

Those thoughts were quickly shaken away; It wouldn't do him any good to think too deeply about a past he never had. There was no point. He simply had to make the best out of the circumstances he had been given.

[adelha-mathilde]

Darcy nods to turn and float down the trail as Champagne decides to hitch a ride with Silver. Perching on his left shoulder to look eager to head back. While the wild Pokemon making their nests in trees or around bushes. From Wurmple munching on berries to Hoothoot and Natu gathering twigs. Several Paras are helping a Treeco with looking for mushrooms. There's even three Pichu that are playing with a Meowth close to a fork in the road.

The trail Darcy takes leads to a rather immaculate looking manor house close to farmlands and greenhouses. Several Growlithe playing by the front porch to then look up and smile. One even runs up to bark a greeting to Silver as his tail wags. Which Darcy smiles at to then float up to the manor house proper. Denny seems to have sent a message off and is hovering close to Silver via some advance floating tech that has come out of the sides of the tablet. Denny tells Silver, "She should be out in a moment. One of the newly hatched Eevee decided to play in the mud and track it all over the back deck. So a bath was in order as some Staryu washed down the back deck."

Champagne gives a silent giggle for Silver to notice that this Togetic hasn't made a vocal noise at all. Despite Champagne being openly expressive and very friendly. While Denny makes some zerts and chitter noises at Champagne to then say, "Yes yes. I know. But it's part of raising newly hatched Pokemon."

[hylianwerewolf]

The redheaded didn't know exactly what he was expecting to see when their short journey had come to its conclusion, but a manor house as impressive as this certainly wasn't what he'd had in mind.

He hadn't even realized he'd stopped walking until one of the Growlithe had come up to him, and he had bent down to pet it gently. Without the feeling of the fur beneath his fingertips, he might have wondered if this place had even been real.

"..."

Deciding to say nothing for the moment, the prickly Trainer simply watched the interaction between Denny and Champagne; He'd noticed how quiet the Togetic was, wondering if perhaps that was the reason it was here at this sanctuary. He also briefly wondered if his team would be welcome here, considering each member was a highly experienced battler. Would they even fit in amongst the other Pokémon that called this place home?

[adelha-mathilde]

The Growlithe is more than happy to get good pats. Wagging his tail to look oh so elated. But soon the front door opens for all the Growlithe to turn and charge at the woman coming out of the manor house. A woman with long white hair in a long green dress. She seemed pleased to kneel down and pet each Growlithe before they got back to chasing each other around the front yard. While the woman walked to Silver to soon be standing in front of him.

The lady had a kind smile. Eyes of fierce and striking blue. Yet she gave Silver a bow of her head to speak to him with evident warmth. "Greetings to you this fine day, Silver. You may call me Adelha. Welcome to my family's ancestral lands. Denny sent word that you are an exceptionally skilled trainer from the Johto region. As long as you and your team of Pokemon seek to do no harm to any here, you are free to stay for as long as you like."

Champagne would give a wiggle before he flew off Silver's shoulder and zoomed up to this woman with evident delight. The woman giving a chuckle to reach both gloved hands up so Champagne was sitting in her palms. Making Adelha smile. "Silly little Champagne. Don't think I forgot you need a bath today. But that may wait a spell." Adelha moved Champagne up so she might give the Togetic a kiss on the head. While Denny notes to Silver, "If any of your Pokemon want to stretch themselves, they may do so out here in the yard. As long as they aren't huge like a Steelix. We can make certain they aren't hurt or hungry if need be. The afternoon meal is usually in an hour or two. But we can get you and your team something to tide you over."

[hylianwerewolf]

At first, Silver was apprehensive when the door opened, having no idea what sort of person would emerge... But when he caught a glimpse of the caretaker of the island sanctuary, he was immediately struck by her appearance and the sense that she almost radiated an aura of peace and gentleness.

"I... It's nice to meet you."

Remembering his manners (these were a fairly recent development), the red-haired Trainer also inclined his head in greeting. However, he couldn't think of much else to say; He was still rather awkward when it came to conversing with others... Not to mention he was still learning how to do so in a way that was not quite as abrasive as his usual mannerisms.

He did smile a bit, however, when Champagne flew up to her to sit in her palms; He had become fond of the friendly flying Pokémon. Denny, however, caught his attention when he spoke, and the young man nodded before letting out his team: Feraligatr, Alakazam, Crobat, Gengar, Magneton, and Sneasel. Each member of the team seemed to relish the opportunity to stretch their legs, and all played nice with the other Pokémon, seeming to understand that there was to be no battling here.

"I think we'll all be fine to wait until the afternoon meal. Thank you."

After stating this, he almost looked a little... Lost. He really had no idea what to say or do, having never been in a situation like this before. He was going over scenarios in his head, wanting to try and rehearse responses to potential questions or tips of conversation to see if they came out alright. He almost always did this with anyone new; People he was close enough with to call 'friends' generally understood how he was and made accommodations.

[adelha-mathilde]

The Growlithe decide to scamper over to the new Pokemon and greet them with smiles and wagging tails. While the one that approached Silver returns with a ball in his mouth. Placing it at Silver's feet to then wait patiently. Making Adelha chuckle as she notes, "It would seem that you've already made a new friend. Just be aware. That one has energy to spare these days. You may end up throwing that ball for a while."

Champagne decides to float over and perch on the head of the Feraligator as Denny joins them to make introductions. While Adelha would state, "I know you are hiding in my shadow, T.K. Come on out and meet our guests." Adelha's shadow actually stretches for an older looking Gengar to appear. His smile bright as he snickers to soon float around the group. Waving at Silver to then float to the other Gengar and grin. Adelha notes, "That one is T.K. He is my oldest companion from when I first started training and breeding Pokemon."

Darcy returns with a bowl of warm water and soft face towels for Silver and his Pokemon to use. With Darcy offering to give Crobat a face wash with a kind smile. Adelha looks pleased to say with pride, "Darcy is my volunteer assistant. She makes sure that the Pokemon without hands are able to get clean and or brushed. I am sure T.K. is a very proud grandpa. Isn't that right?" T.K. nods to look very happy. A smile that has the crows feet at the corner of his eyes show.
