Ikkou

Location: Beryl Town, Mid-Festival
Interactions: Kazu @c3p-0h, Mags @Brose

When the girl smacked his hand away, Ikkou was surprised but not offended. She must have been startled by her fall, he thought. And when she drew attention to the fact that Ikkou's new acquaintance had smartly detached herself from the situation altogether before laying all of the blame on him, he became a little flustered himself.

"Sorry, I was just... um, standing in line," he said, his 'excuse' falling a little flat. This new stranger's personality was pretty overbearing, and she went right on to complaining about how she could have been hurt. That he knew very well. Even the most minor of injuries could lead to something a lot worse. He took the girl's words more seriously than probably anyone else would have, but then... "Bills...?"

Ikkou wilted under the girl's exclamations. He probably couldn't afford someone else's medical bills! How did the healthcare in this region even work? What if he had to take care of her strange Pokémon while she was recovering? What did it eat? What if he messed something up and they put him right back on a boat to Sinnoh? Oh no...!

Clearly floundering for a response, Ikkou held his new egg up as though to but a shield between himself and this girl. Rinrin's cries were progressively getting more high pitched as she sensed her partner's stress building, bobbing up and down in the air. Ikkou couldn't reply fast enough when the girl asked about the both of them, hoping to placate her with answers.

"Sh-she's a Chingling!" he said hurriedly. "And I'm—"“Ikkou?”"—Ikkou."

Huh? He'd definitely heard his name being said, even with the orange haired girl right in front of him and the ambient noise of the festival still going on around them. He turned his head, looking for the source - and spotting a familiar face. Taller, a little older, but definitely someone he knew.

"Kazu...!" He smiled in relief. She'd found him! She must have gotten his letter. Ikkou made to go over to her, but hesitated. He couldn't just blow off the person he'd bumped into. "Ah..."

He pressed his mouth shut, thinking. He wanted to link up with Kazu for sure. He sent a look over at his cousin, though his expression was hard to read. It could easily have been Wait right there! or Please come over and help me! Most likely the latter, all things considered. Then he turned back to the other girl.

"I'm really sorry, I can't afford to pay for the hospital, I just got to Starre and..." he shook his head to keep himself on track. "Um, but if you're hurt I can do some first aid? Or... or we can sort it out another way! Miss...?"
