Floaroma Town!

*Whip stretches as he walks, secretly enjoying the endless flora surrounding them*
Whip: It'd be a great place to live in if it weren't for all the crazy people here...
*He stretches his arms behind his head, shivering at the memory of the Nurse Joy*

Mana: Not everyone here is bad~ The girl selling berries was really nice. And so is Monica.

Whip: Yeah, she sure wasn't-
*Whip pauses and looks over his shoulder, under his legs, and around Mana like a paranoid maniac, making sure not to be heard*
Whip: ....crazy....

Mana: *frowns* I hope you're referring to Monica.

Whip: Who else?
*Whip sighs and closes his eyes*
Whip: It's like I said before... cute girls drive me crazy~
*And then, he grins*
Whip: Too bad for them, I'm already taken~

Mana: *scoffs good naturedly* Right. As soon as you can finally take Tikal on a date, that is.

*Whip's head lowers, as though a brick were dropped on it*
Whip: Oi oi... at least I have a love interest, Miss Independant~

Mana: *without faltering in her pace, she stomps on Whip's foot* Well, I happen to have a love interest, but he's too busy fawning over another girl to realize I'm even alive.

*Whip cries in pain and hops in place, holding his foot as Mana walks ahead of him*
Whip: Ouch!
*Whip stumbles to keep up, disgruntled*
Whip: It's not my fault you fell for some thick-headed guy! Some people are just oblivious to that kind of thing...
*He turns his attitude into swagger*
Whip: Not everyone can be as sharp as me~

Mana: *continues to walk ahead, but she shakes her head, laughing* Right. Sharp as a knife, I'm sure. If you ask me though, hopeless is a better adjective~

*Whip glares at Mana pathetically for the comment, but doesn't bite at it. He instead cups his hand over his eye, looking left to right as they walk*
Whip: Where is this honey guy, anyways? You don't think it's too early in the morning, do you?

Mana: *shakes her head, looking a bit confused* No, actually... *stops at the edge of the town, near Valley Windworks* This is where he told me he'd be...

*Whip stares on and up at the large windmill drifting lazily in the wind*
Whip: ....Pretty~
*Whip takes a seat near the bridge connecting the town to the Windworks and stretches*
Whip: Well, I don't see him....

Mana: *shrugs and goes to sit underneath the bridge so she can put her feet in the water* I guess we'll just wait.

*Whip groans and flips himself upside-down on the bridge's edge, his head reaching level with Mana, and his hair, straddling in the water*
Whip: But that'll take soooo loooooooonngggg!
*Whip impatiently whips out his PokeDex and starts typing into it*

Mana: *rolls her eyes, releasing all her Pokemon to play again* You know how they say patience is a virtue, Whip? You might want to look into that.

*Whip waves her off*
Whip: Yeah yeah, whatever.
*He scoffs at his PokeDex*
Whip: Tch. Nothing but Pachirisu and Buizels around here...
*He slides it away and legs his arms hang as well*

Mana: *perks up* Pachirisus? Buizels?

*Whip starts twirling his hair in his finger*
Whip: Yeah, this place is swarming with them, according to Dex....
*Whip scrunches his face when he twirls up a wet part of his hair, but doesn't bother pulling the rest out*

Mana: *jumps up in excitement* I wanna go catch one! *about to take off, but pauses thoughtfully and look to Whip* Wait... I thought you couldn't read. How would you know from the Pokedex?

Whip: Read?
*Whip pulls out his PokeDex and looks inside of it*
Whip: Is that what these scribbles are? I just look at the pictures~
*Whip shows Mana a picture of a Pachirisu*
Whip: See, look. Here's my head right here~
*The PokeDex shows Whip's head on a small, undetailed map of Sinnoh, right about where the Windworks would be*
Whip: And all the red glowy spots around me are Pachirisu's~
*The entire area around them seems to glow red on the Dex*
Whip: It was made for ten-year-olds Mana, have some faith in me!
*Whip begins fiddling with the device, muttering something about music files and applications*

Mana: *nods in approval* That does make sense. I'm still surprised you know which Pokemon is which. *looks around and spies tall grass* I want a pachirisu~ *looks at Rose* Rose~! C'mon! We're gonna catch a pachirisu!
Rose: *stops playing with the other pokemon and hops next to Mana's side* Budeeew~!
Mana: (to the other Pokemon) You guys keep Whip company, alright?
*Tsunami, Wynn, and Volt make affirmative noises, and when Mana makes her way off, Tsunami and Volt give Whip dark looks with gleaming eyes and creepy smiles*
Tsunami: Pip pip pip pip pip...
Volt: Shinx shinx shinx shinx shinx...

*Whip is incredibly intimidated by Mana's voracious Pokemon and stumbles off of the bridge and onto his feet*
Whip: M-Ma-Mana! Wa-wait for me!
*Whip chases after her very quickly and cowardly*

Mana: *blinks in surprise at Whip's arrival* Oh. You're coming with me? *frowns worriedly* ...What about my Pokemon...?

Whip: They can fend for themselves.
*Whip coughs*
Whip: I mean, ah, I"ll just leave my Pokemon with them! As long as they're together, they can't get into any trouble~!
*Whip releases his Pokemon alongside Mana's*
Whip: Alright guys-
*Ralts mimics Whip's talking*
Whip: You guys stay here with these psycho- er, Pokemon, and me and Mana will be right back, got it~?
*Amy and Ralts nod their heads, though Ralts suspiciously seems to be copying Amy. Eevee looks back at the others and, after a small survey, lowers his ears in disappointment. He nods as well*
Whip: Great~! Thanks guys, You're life-savers~!
*Whip leans in closer*
Whip: Literally...
