hm... something about that kid...

...i'm sure it's nothing.

[ask-byul]

[byul looks away, feeling both frustrated and a little embarrassed from being seen in such a vulnerable state. there is something about this human that calms him, and he doesn’t feel like snapping at them. he looks over to zelle, wondering if he would give him similar advice.]

[it’s not hard to see he cares for his pokemon, and considering how patient he’s been with byul... maybe he shouldn’t be so quick to assume how jinyoung feels about him, after all. though he isn’t completely confident, he turns back to the human with determination in his eyes.]

even if i was born on poni island, jinyoung is my family now. whatever i find there... i won’t let it keep me from returning to him. i’ll... i’ll get stronger so i can protect him from anything, even from myself!

are you sure you don’t want me to help find them? it might be better to take you to a local police station or something if they’re out looking for you.

grr...

no, huh? okay, then i trust you know where to find them. go on, then, better get going.

[byul hesitates for a moment, then nudges at zelle’s hand until he gets the hint.]

no need to thank me, big guy. just hurry on back to your trainer. i can tell you’re worried about them too, from how well-behaved you’ve been trying to get back to them.

[byul furrows his brow, looking a little guilty. he takes one last look at zelle, who waves his hand in a shooing motion, before taking off into poni wilds.]

[byul is once more available for asks.]

[ask-byul]

grr...

oh, uh, don’t worry, i won’t take it away from you. we’re done here, so we can go catch a boat to poni island now...

*snicker*

toast, shush.

[ask-byul]

why, is that where your trainer is or something? i mean, i guess we can hop on a boat, but i’ve gotta go check on some things first after the rain lets up, if you can wait.

[byul’s ears flatten in disappointment, and he lets the flyer drop from his mouth before something catches his eye from the window.]

MROW?!

[without thinking, byul takes off for the exit, zelle calling out after him in surprise.]

h-hey?? ah, well. maybe he changed his mind.

[ask-byul]

mrowr!!

ah, yeah, i guess i did say i was gonna wait until it stopped raining. but i got a call, and one of the kids i look after got into a little accident, so i’ve gotta see if i should take him to a hospital sooner rather than later.

[ask-byul]

sure, let’s go with fashion statement. you could say i was influenced by one of my pokemon partners, so it’s not wrong, at least.

what’s even your problem? are you lost or something?

NO!! i was just chasing this twerp who stole something from me before YOU got in my way!

it’s not my fault you weren’t looking where you were going! and what’s that got to do with wanting to go to poni island??

none of your business, hmph!

@theredvaporeon​

[ask-byul]

Z-ZELLE! now look, you’re gonna get me in trouble!!

that’s not my problem! wait a sec, that guy was on the boat! can he take me to poni island?? ask him for me!!

what’re you on about?? what makes you think i can speak human?!

[while they bicker, zelle looks up at the darkening sky with concern.]

alright, you two, let’s at least continue this in the pokemon center. it’s gonna rain soon, and i don’t want kuri to get wet.

[zelle (and kaz) are temporarily askable!

ask hints have been updated.]
