Carrot throws his head back in a loud over dramatic wail
Carrot: IM A L-LITTLE WHITE BOY!!!
Carrot shrinks down into the purse, hiding his face in embarrassment
Tide jumped at the shaymin's sudden wail, but lets out a relieved sigh
Tide: Oh Carrot.. you make it sound like its a BAD thing.
Carrot: IT IS. IM A F-FRAUD!! I'M NOT ORANGE!! E-EVERYONE IS GONNA T-THINK IM A LIAR!!
Carrot: THEY ARE G-GONNA THINK I'M S-SOME KIND OF... SPLAT H-HAIR COLOR S-SPONSOR!!
Tide: Oh Carrot..
Tide gently begins to pet the trembling little dog in her purse. The gastrodon looks over at Marilla with a soft smile
Tide: Carrot is actually more white with pink tints! I would compare it to being a albino but... He doesn't have any of the other traits that people with albinism.. So I wouldn't really call him that per say!
Tide: But his diet appears to alter his colorings. Like how if you eat too many carrots your skin can turn slightly orange/yellow! Although.. weird that it alters his... fur... coloring... But who knows how these things work!
Tide: I also don't know... how his diet... adds... green to his fur but... I mean.. Shaymin and plants are like that sometimes!
Tide: I know that our previous Forest Guardian, Berry... Ate a lot of strawberries and she slowly turned pink with freckles over time! She was also mostly the same white and pink colors as Carrot...
Tide: Aren't shaymin interesting? So many little things can effect them and how they present! JUST like a little flower!
Tide ruffles Carrot's hair playfully, soothing the anxiety riddled shaymin.
The shaymin peers out of the purse once more, towards Marilla.
His eyes not making proper eye contact and shuffling his paws nervously with blush on his face
Carrot: T-Thank you... f-for... c-calling me... cute... nobody really does that other than Tide...
