"Twiggy evolved? That's crazy!" Indigo gasped, half excited half in disbelief. As Dan showed him the picture of the Grotle, he saw that it was certainly a tough looking pokemon. Sturdy with a huge shell and leafy foliage, he had at least doubled in size. But didn't Dan miss the old Twiggy, Indigo wondered. Grotle looked much tougher but it wasn't as cute as Twiggy.

When Hawka evolves she's going to go through some changes too. She won't be the same anymore. How will I deal with that? What is she gonna look like? I hope she doesn't lose her cuteness... I guess I shouldn't be thinking about that. It's not how a pokemon looks, but argh, is that so bad? Is it bad if I like her unevolved form? I wonder if she's ever gonna evolve... Has she not evolved yet because of me? Wait, wait, I'm thinking too much. One thing at a time. Be happy for Dan.

"That's really amazing. You'll have to show me him out of his ball as soon as you can," Indigo smiled. "And you know, that present sounds like a really good idea. I didn't know a bozo like you had it in you, but you proved me wrong." It was a joke, of course. "I decided I was gonna get your mom some flowers. I couldn't think of much else. Think she'll mind?"

Indigo had been having a light dinner from the cafe after taking a long nap. Still ruminating about the days events, he hadn't the largest appetite. As Dan walked in, he was grateful to be distracted from himself. "Hey man," he waved, finishing off his wrap and motioning for Dan to come over. "What's up? How was training?"

my apologies, i'll post later tonight! im sorry things have been so busy this week. are we just going to have them go to bed? actually it'd probably be interesting to have dan show grotle to indy!

Pokemon: Storm

"Alright," Indigo said. Though he didn't want to be alone, he chided himself. Don't be a dummy. Dan has stuff to do. You shouldn't just laze around... Ugh, screw it, I'm going to. A good old nap to de-stress sounded wonderful.

"Well, see you later, I'm gonna sleep, maybe shop around," he said with a yawn. With a parting high five and wan smile, Indigo went off to 'do his own thing.'

Wasn't sure whether we were going with the old man not noticing or something so I went for not noticing. Haha I hope that's okay.

After wrangling and chasing Boo while trying to avoid his ridiculous Mimic and Rock Slide attacks, Indigo and his Pokemon were finally successful. He'd had to bring out Hawka and Mindy, but in the end, the four of them were able to catch Boo. Mindy held the kicking and screaming baby bonsly with her firm ears. Kovi's String Shot would have had the job done in seconds, let alone Sleep Powder. But avoiding attacks was for the best. Besides, any attacks they didn't use the Bonsly couldn't use on the lot of them.

When Indigo finally returned, he took to Kovi lifting him and Boo up and into the backyard. Had the old man returned? He quickly returned his Pokemon before stepping inside, so as not to alert suspicion.

"Oh, you're back," Indigo said, genuinely surprised. He had thought the old man would be back much later. His heart was pounding. Had the old man noticed...?

"Ohhh, there you are! I'm so sorry, I didn't realize how much time had passed," the old man said with a sheepish grin. "Your friend here sat me down and I was telling him some stories of my youth. You must have been waiting for a long time!"

"Yeaaah, no worries," Indigo replied, shrugging. "I actually didn't know you came home and I thought Dan went to sit inside because he felt like he was getting sunburned." Dan was quite fair, after all, and it seemed like a believable story...

"Oh, is that it? Well, well. You both look fine to me so I suppose everything's alright. Say, let me take a look at the pokemon." He smiled. "I miss them already, naughty little creatures."

Little Boo was all tucked out from his rambunctiousness. And neither Aerie not Skippy wanted to wake him, so the flying types remained quiet and civil.

"Well, everything seems to be in order! They're not fighting and you even got Boo to take his nap! Well done, boys. I think you deserve a bonus." The old man pulled out a regular cell phone, an early generation smartphone to be exact. "Now then, I'm going to up the dollar award from $15 to $20! And I'm going to give you a great review for your job well done too, that way they give you more Poke Dollars... Let's see........ And..." He pressed a button to finalize the transaction. A soft ding signaled success. "Done! Thank you boys so much!"

"Alright, no worries," Indigo replied, feeling quite nervous and worried himself. After Kovi came out of his pokeball and was told the situation accordingly, he rose high in the air, scanning for the aforementioned Bonsly. Kovi swooped over to a small burrow that had been made just beneath the fence. It was most likely how Boo had escaped.

Following the little tunnel, there were a set of the faintest footprints made by the Bonsly that Kovi could pick out, even if Indigo couldn't. Following the Vivillion's lead, Indigo jogged after. I hate running. Hope we find Boo, soon.

It took about ten minutes, but Indigo heard a familiar shrieking cry. "Boo?" He called out, and heard the cries of some children.
"EEK! Watch out!"
"Why is it so mad?!"

Indigo's eyes widened. "Oh no! Kovi, do you see Boo?" The Vivillion scanned for the little fake tree once more, not finding him because Boo was actually hidden by a large canopy that had been set up in someone else's yard from above. Though Indigo and Kovi didn't know, and as such, had to find him by following the sound of dismayed exclamations.

As it turned out, Boo had wandered into someone else's yard and the children had thought him a grass type pokemon, watering him with a watering can. Boo had become very upset by this, and was now launching Rock Throw all over the place. Granted, his Rock Throw technique was relatively weak and unpracticed, but it could still pack a punch.

As Indigo and Kovi finally neared the backyard Boo was supposed to be in, however, they were only met with the upset children and Boo nowhere to be found.

"Yeah, thanks, sorry for the trouble," Indigo wheezed breathlessly after interrogating the kids. Boo had apparently run off in the direction of the local playground. Hopefully, they'd be able to find him there... The chase continued.
