Kotone was pretty sure she could handle being in the fields on her own—usually she'd have Meguri help her out, but lately he had started to become quite the glutton, stealing berries and fruit from right under her nose. She's pretty sure it's because she couldn't cook well enough to satisfy the Herb Pokémon's stomach, but having him hoard all the food to himself was not something she needed right now. So today, Mago was out with her in the fields instead. She wasn't exactly greedy like Meguri was, but given that she was still a baby in comparison to the rest of her Pokémon, it made her quite curious and mischievous. The girl wasn't worried though; the Topegi was usually well-behaved and never got into too much trouble. She also had a few years of daycare experience under her belt, so it was safe to say she was relatively confident in her skills to handle baby Pokémon.
The loud squeals from the Egg Pokémon causes Kotone to raise her head and look towards the direction of Mago, who was currently trying to get her trainer's attention. She stands up from her place in her fields to get a better view of her tiny Pokémon, who's currently pointing in the direction of a pink-haired girl only a few yards away. She's about to call out to greet the girl, seeing as her Togepi probably startled her since she turned around, but wait ! Those pigtails, that face... she knows who that is ! Kotone's face turns into that of shock and surprise as she says her next words with a loud astounded voice.
“ A—Ah ! Aren't you Sakucchi from Momousa ? ! ”
