Fary turned to look at Lizbeth, and gave her a slight nod. "Yea, I am planning on taking a League challenge! I wanna get out there and see as many Pokémon as I can. That's interesting that you are into photography."
Emily was still watching Ace out of curiosity. "Zoooor zorua zorrrzzor." Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. She settled into Fary's shoulders again.
"Oh, th-thank you. I just l-like looking around and finding i-interesting sceneries, and capturing the moment, s-so to speak." While Lizbeth talked to Fary, Ace poked his head a little from under the beret. "Impi! Dimp!" Oh, no worries, I ain't mad! I just...I ain't so hot with Pokémon I don't know!
”Osha! Oshaosha!” Hey! Down here! Brie continued in her attempts to capture the Zorua’s attention, hopping about and waving her flippers. Unsatisfied with being ignored, she began to brandish her schalchop.
Oshawotta wott. ” Guess I’ll just bring her down to my level. She muttered with a devilish grin. With the shell aimed for Fary’s shin, the devious Oshawott raised her flipper. Ezra was quick to catch her in the act, and his jog broke into a sprint.
“Brie, No!” Ezra was quick, upon the girls in no time at all. The tall shadow he cast over the two was long but brief as he ducked down to scoop up the Oshawott. It was a deft performance that enabled him to reacquire the Pokémon without barreling through the two trainers, though the sudden action mixed with the extra weight and shape of his bag left him in a bit of an awkward position to recover from.
”Seriously, Brie? Just because we play like that, doesn’t mean you can do it to others!” He scolded as he stood up straight. Granted, with his face full of hair, the reprimand fell a little flat for the young otter.
”Osha.” Whatever. She replied, crossing her flippers and turning up her nose.
Lizbeth's Rotom phone went back into her pocket, its job done for the time being, and she looked around as she heard another Pokémon's cry. "Why, hello there. Aren't you the one I saw earlier?" It seemed her nervousness lifted momentarily while she greeted the little Oshawott.
Emily looked over at the noise behind them, and perked up seeing another Unovan Pokemon. "Zorua zoru zorua ZORZOR!" Fary, look, it's a Pokemon from home.
Fary looked back to see someone else had joined them and noticed the Oshawott. "I haven't seen an Oshawott in ages! You seem like a little handful and a cutie!"
Ezra chuckled as he shifted the Oshawott into one arm, using his free hand to wrangle his name the best he could. “Heh, yeah. Sorry ‘bout that, ladies. She must’ve got a little excited when she spotted the Zorua. I only got to see one once when I was in Unova, and it definitely wasn’t this close.” He addressed. Brie was loving the attention she was suddenly receiving.
Fary gave Emily a pet when she was mentioned, and pulled her into her arms much to Emily's protests. "Yea, Zoruas are a bit rare even in Unova. I heard a rumor that some guy handed one out in Castelia City randomly."
"Zorua! Zorzor!" Hey! Let me go!" Emily wiggled and squirmed, but ended up nose to nose with the Oshawott.
"Anyway, I'm Fary, and this here is Emily. Nice to meet you."
Looking up at Ezra, Lizbeth was once again overcome by nervousness, mainly because of her previous train of thought when she let the word adorable slip near him and the Oshawott, as Fary called it. Choosing to look at his Pokémon and not him for the time being, she replied. "O-oh, don't worry a-about it. It d-didn't bother me..." She spoke even softer than she'd done when Fary first greeted her.
With Fary introducing herself and Emily, Lizbeth reached up to take her beret off for a moment to do the same. "My name i-is Lizbeth, and the l-little one on m-my head is Ace. H-he's an Impidimp, in c-case you didn't k-know."
Ace was not at all pleased with the removing of the beret, and tried reaching back down to get it. "Imp imp!" Hey, give it back, I need it! With the addition of a second new Pokémon, another one he hadn't seen, he didn't want to be so exposed to them. But instead of getting the beret, Lizbeth instead just grabbed him with her hand, hugging him with both arms like a teddy bear.
“Lizbeth,” He pointed to the redhead. “Fary,” Then pointed to the bluehead. “Emily,” A point to the Zorua. “Ace?” Lastly, the weird new Pokémon Lizbeth called a Impidimp. Then, pointed a thumb to himself. “I’m Ezra.” With his name on the wind, the only thing that could follow one of his introductions was a big toothy grin.
“This little troublemaker is Brie!” He gestured towards his plucky Oshawott, who was still sniffing at the Zorua in her space. ”Oshaosha...” You don’t smell like a sewer...Are you sure you’re from Unova? She mumbled as she examined Emily.
Emily snapped back, clearly slighted offended. ZORRUA! Zorrrr zorua zorua ZOR!" The sewer? Unova doesn't smell like the SEWER! Emily's head dropped down.
"Nice to meet the both of you. Seems Brie had something to say to Emily though." Fary put the sulking Emily back on her shoulder where she snuggled back down.
"Anyway, we're heading to Professor Oak's lab, do you want to walk with us?" She pointed her thumb behind her towards the building in the background.
"That s-sounds wonderful. E-even if he's not g-going there himself, we could still all walk tog-gether." Lizbeth quickly turned around and started walking towards the lab, with the other two slightly behind her as she was subconsciously walking a little faster. As they approached the lab, they saw that two other women had already gathered there, with what seemed to be their own Pokémon out of their Pokéballs as well.
