@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Mune

"You know, being nocturnal is important to the environment, and any group you're with, its important to be able to watch over your herd, or party, watch and protect them from others that dwell in the night with intent to harm your friends."

Hearing how there was a prejudice against the night and dark types, she decided to give her some inspiration

"And being a dark type is important too, if any one type is missing, it leaves others unchecked."

A wave of hope filled Mune. Someone with actual common sense and knowledge, whereas she thought it was impossible to find one with that kind of mindset. She was glad. The umbreon became much less tense around the scolipede.

"I agree, and... our existence is also to balance out the life of day and night. At least.. That's what my mom told me..."

Mune lifted her gaze. The nights may be scary, but the sky never ceases to keep offering the beautiful light show of the stars. Some are dim, some are brighter than others. She remembered seeing the same scenery while still clinging close to her mother. The moment her eyes are locked on the twinkling light objects, awestruck hit like a continuous lightning. It was pretty, since then, until this very second.

Mune's smile grew wider. It was a smile full of warm memories that soothed her in harsh times. The same memories that made her miss the life she had years ago. She remembered how restless she had to wait for these magnificent nights to come. The night is hers, and she had a whole of it to herself. Mune stayed silent, eyes still locking on the stars above. Deep down in her conflicted heart, she knew that no matter what was happening around her, the night still had its own beauty, and she couldn't help but look up and just admire...

"If only they could see..." Mune murmured to herself.

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Leylo

"Well hello again! It seems your trainer is not around, strange. Did you two enjoy the berry I gave to you both?"

She laid down next to the grimmsnarl, sinking a good couple inches into the sand

"This sure is an odd place, I've never seen such a beautiful beach, or such trees, though the sand gives easily, haha."

She laughed out, giving Leylo a smile

Leylo’s ears perked up upon seeing Vixie again and gave her a calm wave as she approached. Normally the grimmsnarl would have been on guard with such a large poison type, but the venipede had quickly grown on him between the berry and her overall friendliness.

“It’s delicious, we'll be eating well while it lasts,” he nodded his head slightly in thankfulness. “We’re working on it. I can’t speak for Alyse since they haven’t tried the berry yet. Between preparing for this event and other issues, they’re taking some time alone for now. Probably at our camp or walking through the jungle."

A layer of seriousness returned in his eyes momentarily. Despite this, he carried on the friendly conversation.

"We don’t live in Tano, but we’ve been in the wilderness for a few years."

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Carillon

"I see, so you overworked yourself a bit, it is good to take a break now and then, though that makes me curious about another matter, who else is it that you have on your team, besides this little Tatsugiri."

Vixie's words made Carillon glad she’d stored away her papers when she had, she would 100% feel way more awkward if she still had them out on the table. Giving Vixie a little wave in hello, Carillon leaned back in her chair, head tilted up towards the sky as she spoke, “Yeah, I’ve got a full team of six, along with a couple extra mons’ who don’t really battle but travel with me.” Tilting her head to the side, she spotted a dark figure approaching, markings glowing faintly, “Actually, how about you say hi to one of them? I think you’d be interested in meeting her. HEY, LIMOS, COME SAY HI TO OUR VISITOR!”

“Good lord Carillon, what did you do this time?” the Scolipede, Limos, responded, eyeing Vixie warily before walking over to stand by her trainer. She was a deep magenta, with markings that shimmered and glowed faintly in the light. 

“Hey, I did nothing! And honestly it’s quite hurtful you assumed so quickly,” the trainer sniffed in mock offense, nudging the large bug pokemon who gave a huff in turn. Limos gave Vixie a little nod in greeting before Carillon continued.

“Anyway, aside from Limos here we’ve got Nuska, Kuro, Enki, and Relish. In order, they're a Skeledirge, Hydreigon, Wyrdeer, and Dondozo. They’re all family to me, and have stuck around through thick and thin. I’d do anything for them.” 

“Oh no, you gave away our whole team. Now what will we do if we need to battle?” Limos said dryly, a hint of amusement in her voice.

“Keeping our team comp hidden went out the window the second we gained the Champion Rank!” Nammu cackled, hopping up onto Limos and slapping her with his tail playfully. “Besides, we’ve faced worse odds!”

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Loraifon

"Well hello there young Arceus, it is a pleasure to meet you."

The large bug bowed in respect to the small god

"You seem very excited to be here. Is there anything in particular you are interested in at this event?"

Loraifon gazed up up up at the giant bug type, eyes sparkling in awe. She was huge! Kinda like his mom, but not as big or as sparkly. Still, it was really cool! He didn't see a lot of bug types because of the cold terrain their village was nestled within, so this was a new experience for him.

“HELLO MISS!” Loraifon shouted in excitement, “You’re really pretty! Oh, the event! There’s so much cool stuff to do here, like play on the beach and eat a lot of tasty food. But the best thing is meeting the Magi! They’re super cool and nice, and they glow like stars which is even cooler! It's also really fun to meet new people who live suuuuuuper far away from my home. I couldn't imagine living in a lot of places other people have been, but other people do, which is super cool to hear about!”

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie->Veil

She would appreach the cactus, loafing nearby

"I was wondering, what exactly are you? And why must you siphon strength from your friend? If it a problem with food I'd be happy to share!"

She pulls out a 5ft tall oran berry placing it down next to Veil

A grumble was heard from the cactus.

Company… This was going to complicate things.

They turned to face the giant bug, and began to speak.

‘I’m a Mar-’

They stopped, and jumped back. Noticeably intimidated by the colossal creature.

‘Gah! Wh- wh- What are you?! Don't-'

'Don't sneak up on me like that!’

They stopped to take a breath, trying to calm down a bit.

‘Rrgh...’

‘I- I'm a Maractus.’

‘That THING...’ They aggressively pointed at Sahra. ‘Is not my friend.’

‘It’s terrifying and feral.’

‘But I need its energy to satisfy myself. There’s barely anything else to eat around he-’

They stopped again, staring at the huge Oran Berry the bug brought out.

‘That’s… a berry? Wh… How is it so big?!’

‘You're... offering it to me?’

They now seemed confused.

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Mune

The large scolipede would lay down in front of the umbreon gently

"Greetings, I apologize if I scared you, Mune, I believe you said your name was, I understand being nocturnal, I was too back as a whirlipede."

She decided to ease the mood with a bit of banter

"I do love umbreons, though sadly they are not native to my home region of Unova, ao i only get to see them when foreigners bring them in."

She would offer her a giant pecha berry for her time.

"A- ah!" Mune was taken back when coming across the large pokemon, but seeing their gentle demeanor calmed her down a bit. She's never seen a bug this big. Clearly it wasn't from this forest, nor this region. She eyed the pecha berry, but still hesitate to take it.

"Whirlipede? What kind of... its fine. You're probably from somewhere else."

However, when her thoughts were all about how to ditch off and leave, she stopped her intention the moment the scolipede admired umbreons like her. The words felt itchingly bizarre, yet comforting. No healthy mind in this cursed forest would think about it, let alone saying it as a form of admiration.

Mune has heard hateful statements about dark type pokemons. There is nothing to admire about becoming part of the night. She was ready to face fear, anger, and judgement coming out from anyone, yet, she heard the opposite. The umbreon couldn't help but putting a genuine smile.

"I... didn't expect to hear such words about.. umbreons." The last word felt heavy in her mouth. "You really think so?"

@fat-bug-adventures Vixie -> Carillon

"Hello ma'am, I've not seen many researchers in my life. But it is always a pleasure to meet one."

She bows her head a little

"I wanted to ask, why is it that you aren't allowed to go on research missions?"

To say Carillon was startled as the sight of a giant fuckoff Scolipede would be an understatement.

“HOLY FUCKING SHIT, YOU’RE GINORMOUS!” she roared, loud voice full of cheer. “Bigger than any alpha Scolipede I’ve seen, and that’s saying something! Oh, I love your colours too, I’m a big fan of the black and purple! It’s a pleasure to meet you as well!”

At Vixie’s question, however, Carillon paused, her enthusiasm dimming a bit. A slight sheepish chuckle left her mouth, voice a little frustrated as she said, “Ah, that’s because of something I did. But people are overacting, really! It’s just that, there have recently been some appearances of black Tera Dens, and I was told not to go in which I… did not listen to. Like, the Pokemon inside were tough, yeah but not that bad. They’re not the strongest foes me or my team has faced, and it would be irresponsible to leave them there to fester and potentially harm other people and themselves in the process. I couldn't just do nothing!”

“Yeah, my bosses did not like that. They’ve forced me to take a break from all my work, saying I’m ‘pushing myself too much’ or whatever, but I swear I’m not! I like my work a lot, and it sucks not being able to do it! I hope they let me get back to work soon. I swear, I’m going to go crazy with nothing to do!”  she pointedly did not acknowledge the papers she was sorting on her table. That was not work at all, nope, nuh uh, does not count.
