WARNING: BEAVER CROSSING

[equality]

Hey, Island residents! Do you like Bidoof? A lot? Great! Because you're going to get to meet a WHOLE BUNCH of them today!

It's a stampede! An uncountable number of the normal types, as well as a few of their older dual type cousins, are very determined to get from one unknown part of the Island to another, and they don't really care about what's in their way.

Fortunately, there's plenty of roofs to climb up on, and surely there are enough bore- I mean, kind people out there who are willing to share their perch or rescue you if you get stuck. Plus, the beavers themselves aren't all that tough (for the most part), so fighting your way through is an option, too... Whatever you choose to do, this mess isn't going to end until tomorrow morning. Have fun!

Mako's brow furrows in concentration as she looks at Torterra. She steps back a few paces, holding up her hands to frame it. She nods to herself and smiles at the turtle.

"Hello. You're the largest Torterra I've ever seen."

Glance over at you.

"Mine is about...three inches shorter in the tree, I think? I think maybe Bookbinder is a bit stunted compared to yours because the climate in Unova is much warmer than the areas you usually find the Turtwig family."

[rivalheroics]

[Torterra looks proud at the compliment. Being a huge land turtle is pretty awesome.] That kinda makes sense. Sinnoh, especially the northern part of it, is a lot colder in comparison to most regions, from what I've heard at least...

[etranger]

Mako nods while drawing two more Pokeballs out. Triggering them, they release...some kind of dancing flower and what is probably the largest centipede you've ever seen.

"These two are Aeris the Lilligant and Angra Maiyu the Scolipede."

The Lilligant trills a greeting as Mako strokes the Scolipede behind one of the whip-like feelers at the top of the head.

[rivalheroics]

Oh! [Looking the two Pokemon over with interest. Torterra and Staraptor both greet the other Pokemon in turn as well.] Well, you certainly have a lot of very interesting Pokemon, Mako. I'll have to make it a higher priority to visit Unova sometime when I'm able to.

[And when we're not, you know, stuck on an island in a dimension rift somewhere.]

[etranger]

Smile.

"Unova is pretty cool!"

Pause.

"I will admit I might be biased, of course."

[rivalheroics]

[Jun just grins at that as he's taking out another pokeball--unlike Mako he's only got a team of about four right now, so he's only got two left to show off at the moment.] That's okay, I think everyone's a little biased about their home regions--after all, I'm from Sinnoh, and it is the coolest...heh, at least up in the northern part of it, anyway.

[etranger]

Nod.

"I've heard. Miss Cynthia's told me a lot about Sinnoh."

[rivalheroics]

Oh, so you've met Miss Cynthia as well? [Not too surprising, Cynthia does seem like the kind of person that travels to other regions more often than most others can....] She's the champion of Sinnoh, so I would imagine she'd have a lot of positive things to say about it...

[...Well, other than the stuff involving Galactic, but whatever!]

[etranger]

Nod nod.

"She has a beach house in Undella Town!"

Meanwhile, Aeris is now resting against Etranger, who has draped a couple of wings over her protectively.

[rivalheroics]

Really? Huh...

[Aww, that's cute. Staraptor has taken to moving to perch on the tree growing on Torterra's back for now as Jun tosses the pokeball he's holding up and down.] Alright, I've got two more left to show you. First...

[Clicks the pokeball open...and now there's a large orange dragon that gives a sleepy look around before it yawns and waves, waking up a little bit more.] This here's my Dragonite! I would have had him give me a lift earlier, but...ahaha, before the Bidoof showed up, I had told it could take a break and it seemed kind of rude to wake him up so soon... [^^;;]

[etranger]

Wide eyes.

"Coooool..."

Dragons are apparently a Big Deal for Mako.

[rivalheroics]

[We can certainly tell XD. He takes out the fourth and final pokeball, but before he opens it he says] And then there's my last one--though, he's not quite at the same levels the others are at yet.

[And he opens the pokeball up to reveal...A Mime Jr. Upon noticing Mako, it gives an excited shout and waves up at her. Hi there!!]

[etranger]

Awwwwww.

Mako crouches down and extends one hand.

"Hey, little guy."

[rivalheroics]

Mime! [Mime Jr. will gladly take the offered hand and shake it eagerly as Jun speaks.]

That's Mime Jr. He's the newest one to the team and isn't quite like the others, but that's okay, he's still a hard worker... [When Mime wants to be anyway, the rest of the time he's more interested in playing around than battling. ^^;;]

[etranger]

"He's really cute!"

Yeah, Mako likes this one.
