"Isn't it? It's old, but we kept it around for that reason." With towel retrieved and suds removed from his face, Kieran returns to the seat. "Sometimes I'll see sis taking it out just so she can use it. . . . Oh, man. W-Wait, how am I gonna explain this to her? She'll be coming in and out of —

"I didn't mean it like that...!" Gets booped. He rubs his nose. Ah, she's messing with him. . . . Some leftover soap suds get placed on his nose in the process. Off he goes to get a towel. "Wowie... I got two new friends..." That 'wowie' was genuine. He actually speaks like that sometimes!

Stifling a laugh...! At what else, straight up saying 'lol.' He's met a few trainers who talk like that. "It's... it's okay. She's already got a trainer she wanted to travel with. I've had a hard time letting go of that." Setting the glass of water down and taking the ball from his belt. —

"That's- That's fair, yeah.." And awfully thoughtful. Kieran returns the smile, albeit more sheepishly. "Y'know, when I woke up the next morning, I was so sure all of that was a dream until I found your Pokéball."

"Guh--" Was that a little jab at his snacking habits? Okay, yes, he eats a lot of candy... but—! . . . There's no but, unfortunately. Or a way out of this. Less sugar for Kieran.

"You still made 'em. That's more than I say about food prep." He's a big snacker. Less likely to be the one actually putting something together. "Heh, if you need a taste tester for other stuff you're making, I'll volunteer!"

"You made these?" Eyes shining, he happily accepts one and immediately takes a bite. Judging by the look of satisfaction, it's safe to say they're pretty alright. "Fhank you--" Said with rice in his cheeks.

"Wh-Whuh!? Huh!?" What was previously thought to be a statue turned out to be some titanic creature. Kieran stammered and backed away as it began to move. A voice in his head, too.. belonging to the titan, judging by its questions. "I-I didn't mean to-! I was in the caves near my home. —

"So the Pokémon doesn't get all tiny and sit inside the ball...?" Blame his sister telling him that when they were little. He'd never questioned it.

"Is it? I always wondered if my Pokémon were comfortable in there. That's good to know..!"

//: genuinely didn't plan that I just got home from other business lmao

"Yeah, she's already got a pokéball--"

Kieran and Ogerpon #pokemon

//: AUGH THAT ART'S SO CUTE

A pokéball was a necessity for any duo of trainer and pokémon. The last thing either of them needed was some stranger 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 hunting after an Ogerpon and stealing Seina away. No longer a problem. They could travel together all they wished without a worry of that possibility. But other than —

Such a simple, yet powerfully heartfelt act of dusting away the pokéball struck Kieran right through his heart. Small sniffles began, yet he was smiling sweetly. Smiling wider than he ever had before. So much that his cheeks were starting to hurt. Was he dreaming? He'd asked that earlier, but —

Grimmsnarl's pretty neat...

//: my heart was not prepared for any of this and i adore it

"Oh..! Yeah, here." The Cornerstone mask was one of his, so he'll gladly remove and put it in Seina's hands. If they're going to be partners, then what's his is also hers. Masks especially. Speaking of partners... he can grab what they came here for in the first place. While the Ogerpon got to —

There goes that adorable green blur of energy. Kieran can't help but laugh again as he follows inside. The home's interior was probably going to be right up Seina's alley, reminiscent of the japanese-style homes she'd find herself around (y'know, prior to being an Ogerpon). Kieran's room even —

//: had to eat somethin Back to replies i go

From zero with you again ✨

Carmine for @/sarahannewillia ❤️ #pokemon

"Never doubted you for a second, heh.." His right arm would outstretch towards her, offering a hi-five for a job well done. Hi-one? In her case? Not even the resident Ogerpon expert knows what her hands look like underneath that cloak. "I gotta apologize, though, I think them showing up might —

A Smile Sunday sounds perfect. He'll join in!

Thαnkfullч, thıs's αll ıt tαkes to get ınto the fαnon(s)~. !! Heavy Crossover / Gag-based !! ❝Anything else is upcoming, so time to peek into #MVRP...❞

A great question like that produced an equally great and hilarious answer: Yes. Absolutely. A spiked weapon coming straight for the Ariados made it drop its 'tough guy' act. Its many legs contributed to the panicked scampering away. Kieran paused his bag searching, snorting a laugh at the —

"I-I'm okay, promise." The only damage done was a small scrape on Kieran's left knee following that initial fall to the ground. Nothing a quick wash and bandage couldn't fix. Currently, though, he was wrestling with the strand of web stuck to his leg that kept him tethered to the ground. —

Her strategy works wonders on the little guys. They flee the scene immediately. That big Ariados is a different story, though. Most wild mons here wouldn't even consider challenging the powerful mask-wearer. Some, though, like the big arachnid here? It's hissing at the duo. It wants a fight.

It was time to put that to the test; said the world. While no 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 were nearby as Kieran wrestled his keys with the front door, a small group of spider-like Pokémon had emerged from a tree and began closing in on the boy. The largest one—center of the group—fired a string shot that latched —

"Hehe. Right, let's go!" And back to their little run to Kieran's place. Or, his grandparents' place, to be specific. A nice, yellow home out at the far back of Mossui Town. Some detours through bushes and tall grass were necessary to keep Ogerpon hidden, but they made it with few hiccups. —

//: bless nintendo music for launching a browser version so I can set the vibe whenever I reply to seina and kieran's little ogerpon adventure

You know those types of leaves that appear to have fur? And are really soft to the touch? Lamb's ears. Now imagine a big cloak with that texture, hugging and rubbing someone's face. It's going to tickle. Hushed giggles slipped out as the Pokémon brushed her cheek against his. "Seina...!" —

To see her like this was a heart-wrenching visual. Kieran would crouch slightly after she'd bumped into him, low enough to bring her closer for another embrace. It mattered little 𝘸𝘩𝘰 needed the comfort. The Kitikami boy saw someone going through fear similar to his own and was quick —

" . . .Huh? " The shiver pulled Kieran's attention away from the road ahead. He'd find Ogerpon's lively demeanor vanishing the further out they walked. Even if he didn't understand what was going on in the girl's mind, he recognized that hesitency. It reminded him of days his big sister tried —

Kieran bites his lip. Is she doing this on purpose? This little ogre is gonna kill him with cuteness. Not a bad way to go out, all things considered... He'll start walking, keeping their hands held together in order to lead the way. "Oh–! Uh, little warning. Ogerpon's a little celebrity in —

Wow, that really set her off into hyperaction... Seriously, it was like Seina had gotten into the boy's emergency candy stash (yes, that's something he has.) "Eheh... Seina! Hey!" Gosh, she's speedy.. it takes a few attempts to reach out and take her hand. "We're gonna head to Mossui Town. I —

"Hnf— Snrk—" He shouldn't laugh. But, that sequence of events just now was just a 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 funny. "How about I lead the way, and you look out for any danger? Trainers and their Pokémon gotta work together—we're a team!"
