[It's snowing.

That's right, it's snowing. The ground is covered in a nice thick layer of snow. More importantly, there's a nice and neat series of tables with scarves, mittens, ear muffs, and sleds leaning against it. (A few of the tables even serve hot chocolate that inexplicably hasn't gone cold, for those who need to warm up.)

It's the perfect weather for snow activities since the snow isn't too heavy... You know, except for the occasional Cryogonal that falls from the sky. There seem to be quite a few of those.

But don't let that stop you from some of the classics- snow angels, sledding, snowball fights... Tis the season and all.]

[Bless your sense, Sprouty. Bulbasaur gratefully pulls the scarf all around his body and shuffles closer to the fellow grass type.]

I couldn't reach the scarves for Bulbasaur, and I thought it'd be a lot colder in his Pokéball since it's made of metal and stuff. That's why he's out with me!

[goldenlyre]

[Yes, yes, let's stick together. At least the trainers are having fun.]

You're not dressed at all yourself! I bet he's worried about you even if he's still freezing his bulb off. [Angel's done, she'll stand carefully to admire her work!



Why does it have devil's horns. She didn't put those. Huh. Okay.]

You're smart though! It'd definitely be worse in the ball, and when they're out like this they can just run around and stuff.

[betabangs]

[Might be your hair, Miss.]

Bulbasaur and I aren't that good of friends, so I don't think he's really that worried. [...Friends or not, Bulbasaur's still her Pokémon. Her very first, or so he's gathered, and she's his first trainer... He feels her, bro.] Red and a lot of other people've said that as long as I keep being friendly and playing with him though then Bublasaur'll definitely definitely be my friend!

[And he's not scared of her anymore, so! Baby steps.]

[goldenlyre]

[It so is.]

Definitely! Sprouty and I weren't that good of friends starting out because he's actually pretty quiet and shy, and now you see he takes better care of me than I do myself. [She giggles and holds out her hand to Blue. Want up?]

[betabangs]

[Yes please!! Grabbing your hand tightly, Miss!]

I hope Bulbasaur and I can become that close too! I'd really really like to get more friends for him too, but he doesn't really like the Abra Kris helped me catch...

[goldenlyre]

[Here we go!!! Upsy daisy!]

Really? Why not? I know Abra sleep a toooon, but that's no reason not to like them.

[Abra are so cute, man. So cute.]

[betabangs]

[Yippee!!]

Well, he's scared of new people and Pokémon, and Abra's really, really talkative... Even in his sleep! It must scare him an awful lot.

[goldenlyre]

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Maybe you can put metal around Abra's head when he's sleeping? That's what all the movies say to do when you know psychics!

[betabangs]

But he's always sleeping...

[goldenlyre]

So wrap it around his ball? I've never had a Psychic-type like that, before...

[Just for Pokédex purposes. Sprouty is her main jam obviously.]

[betabangs]

[Hmmm.]

I wonder if that'd be okay... I want to be good friends with Abra, too, so...

[goldenlyre]

[...]

So let's do this! Let out your Abra! He can have a scarf too, and we'll try to get him and Bulbasaur on more friendly terms with a snowball fight!

[betabangs]

[...Oh! Yes, okay! Out comes her Abra, and Bulbasaur immediately ducks between Sprouty's legs.

Abra, on the other hand, casually floats a few inches above the snow and snoozes.]

Miss, meet Abra! Abra, meet, uh... Miss! Let's get along!

[goldenlyre]

[!!! Sprouty will protect his new friend, sure, but what's wrong??]

Lyra! It's nice to meet you, Abra, and... Little girl! If you're willing, Abra, I'm gonna get you and Bulbasaur to be friends!

[Yeah.]

[betabangs]

[IT TALKS IT YOUR HEAD IT'S WEIRD, SPROUTY.]

I'm Blue! [And Abra's head just... tips to the side gently. Blue puts the back of her wrists on her waist and tilts her head too.] ... I think that's an 'Okay,' Lyra.

[goldenlyre]

[OH YEAH LYRA HAD A MISCHIEVOUS ESPEON LIKE THAT THEY'RE SO WEEEEIRD but it's not bad...]

Okay! I'll go talk to Bulbasaur, so stay here!

[Trooping right over to Bulbasaur and Sprouty, squatting down to see beneath the Meganium. And talking lowly.]

He-llo~ Bulbasaur. Wanna kick some Psychic butt?

[betabangs]

[NO IT'S JUST WEeiii who is


Weirdo

Nope nope nope. Sprouty, save me!!]

[goldenlyre]

[Shh, shhh, it's okay, she's harmless. Kind of. Really, um, determined and excited easily, but nice. She won't hurt you--]

We're gonna have a snowball fight! You and Abra against Sprouty here and me and Blue!

[... Well, it's not hurtful. Sprouty sighs and lowers his head. No. He is protecting Bulbasaur.]

I'll put gloves on your vines so it's not so cold?

[betabangs]

[Bulbasaur tucks his vines into his nice scarf-sweater. N-No!!

Blue, on the other hand, has grabbed her Abra and is currently hugging him softly with a frown. Maybe she should've caught something else...?]

It's okay. It's really, really cold, so I guess Bulbasaur doesn't want to play...

[goldenlyre]

It's not that bad. [Dismissive because she can't feel her legs anymore, honestly.] Come on, Bulby, it'll be fun! I promise!

[Sprouty must stand against Lyra this time. Bulbasaur has to get used to Abra at his own pace. It'll probably be better when he's a Kadabra.

Lyra puffs out her cheeks, but sighs and reaches a hand past his head to see if she can pat Bulbasaur or something.]

I can't force you, I guess... Keep warm. [And she'll call back to Blue!] Let's still have a snowball fight! You two against me!

[betabangs]

[She can pat him. Bulbasaur's fine with that.

Blue, on the other hand, wiggles excitedly. Abra snoozes. But but but -]

I don't know how to snowball fight, though! I've never done it!

[goldenlyre]

[Pat pat, then! And she'll kiss Sprouty's head before standing and starting back towards Blue.]

It's fun! Make a snowfort for yourself, okay? Be protected on all sides!

[betabangs]

[A snow...fort...

No worries, Abra's got this. Snow lifts up around them and makes a nice and neat fort around Blue's height. Uwaaah!!]

Abra, that was sooo cool!

[goldenlyre]

[That is cool!!! But, not to be outdone, Lyra is prepping herself one too.]

Now, pack snow into balls! Big enough to hurt, but small enough to hold!

[betabangs]

[Big enough to hurt, but small enough to hold!]

How many should I make?
