Floaroma Town!

*Eevee hops up and starts running, but falls back and motions for Rose to follow*
Eevee: Vii, Eevii~
*Even through his fur, he's clearly warming up*

Whip: Y-yeah! I mean. I don't think I've ever met anyone like you. J-just look at how hard I'm blushing!
*In an attempt to lighten her mood, he pulls back his hair to exemplify his beet-red cheeks*
Whip: There aren't a lot of girls who can do that, after all~!

Rose: *eyes sparkle in happiness at Eevee's invitation* BUDEEEEW~! *does a cute little dash towards him*
Wynn: ... *caves into peer pressure with a sigh and follows to keep track of them*

Monica: *giggles* No, I think anyone could do that, honestly~

*Eevee sighs to himself, wondering what he's invited, and continues on*

Whip: Not from the people I've met~
*Whip smiles in reassurance*
Whip: Let's see... There are....
*Whip counts on his hand*
Whip: One, two,... Three people that can make me stumble like that, and you're now one of them. Congratulations ~!
*His smile turns into a goodhearted laugh*

Tsunami: *leads them deeper into the forest*
Mana: *exits the berry shop carrying a basket filled to the brim with berries and looks around for the Pokemon* Guys? *travels into the meadow and eventually sees them running off and she laughs to herself* There they go... *spots a blob of orange* ...?

Monica: *laughs along and launches herself to wrap her arms around Whip's neck for a hug* That Tikal girl is really lucky to have you, Whip~

Mana: *watches the event for a moment before turning around with a resigned smile on her face* Looks like it's just me again...

*The hug immediately causes Whip to turn so red and hot, he starts steaming*
Whip: Ah-I-Eh-O-......
*In Whip's arm, his egg suddenly gains a small, red-glowing spotch. The Egg wobbles in Whip's arm and finds its way out, landing on the floor quite safely. It turns and "faces" Whip and Monica, and glows the same, red glow. But, seemingly searching for something different, it flips and hops. And hops, and hops, and finds itself hopping into Mana's feet. The egg then "faces" her, and the red glow suddenly becomes a light, neon blue, and it hops, as if wanting to be picked up. Whip is too flustered to notice the loss of his egg*

Mana: *is thrown off guard by the egg hopping in front, but after taking care of so many chao, she picks it up regardless to hold it* U-Umm...? Am I supposed to shake it? I never like throwing chao eggs...

Monica: *pulls out of the hug and looks at the direction the egg ran off* Uh, your egg ditched you, Whip...

*The egg suddenly cracks, suddenly and very loudly*

Whip: Wait, what?
*Whip blinks, regular colours returning to his face, and he starts patting himself front and back*
Whip: My Egg ditched me!? What!?
*Whip spins around*
Whip: Which way did it go!?

Monica: *points to where Mana is*

Mana: *holding the egg, but flinches at the loud cracking noise* A-Ah...?!

*Whip turns and watches, as even from their distance, the first poke out of the shell is brilliant and clear. Out pops a small, orange horn, and then a sky-blue dome. When the egg shatters completely, a small, incredible, glimmering Ralts stands in Mana's hands, it's odd colours shining brightly in the sun*

Whip: ...
*Whip pulls out his Pokedex*
Dex: Ralts. The, Feeling Pokemon. It is said that the horn on its head can be used to detect people's emotions, and prefers happy environments.

*Ralts makes a soft, chiming sound in Mana's hands, smiling from beneath its dome*

Mana: *eyes widen in adoration* H-H-Huwaaaah~ *hugs the Ralts lovingly* You're so... so... so!

Monica: Wow, a Ralts~!

*The Ralts returns the hug gladly, nuzzling Mana as if the sudden happiness were nourishing it. Whip, meanwhile, remains silent as he puts away his Pokedex. He seems almost somber, watching his newest Pokemon and Mana hugging each other*
Whip: ......Yeah.... It's shiny, too....

Mana: *makes her way towards Whip and Monica, still hugging the Ralts* Whip! Whip Whip Whip! Look! *holds out the Ralts for him to see, albeit unnecessarily* It's a Ralts! It's shiny! It's adorable! *like she does with Eevee, she cuddles its face with her own cheek* Huwaaaah~! What are you going to name her-slash-him!?
Monica: *looks at Whip pleadingly* Name it Monica if it's a girl!

*Whip inhales, exhales, and then picks up the Ralts by its legs. The Ralts makes a troubled bell-like sound as it's hung upside-down, holding its' skirt-like body up into the air. As if a self-defense to it's new brash owner, multiple petals from the large amounts of flowers in the meadow begin to pick themselves into the air and slice their way at Whip. At the sight of this, he drops the Ralts and runs screaming from the leaves, which sentiently pursue him*
Whip: IIIIIITTTTTTT'SSSS A GIIIIIiiiiiiiirrrrrrrlllllll!

*Monica and Mana share a laugh*
Monica: Ohh, never mind~ She's much too sadistic to have my name~ *turns to Mana* Are you sadistic?
Mana: *suddenly breaks off laughing* ...What?

*The Ralts chimes up curiously to Mana, as if it too wanted to know the answer to this question*

Mana: ... *looks away nervously* I'd rather not answer that question...
Monica: *gasps, putting an hand to her mouth* She is!

*Ralts mimics Monica's shock silently, stepping to her side and making the same hand motions*

Mana: *looks around, avoiding eye contact* H-Huh, I wonder where Whip went...

(Meanwhile)

Tsunami: *spots honey on a tree and points at it* Piplup pip-lup lup!
Volt: Shiiiinx, shinx shinx-
Tsunami: PIP! PIPLUP LUP LUP PI-PI-LUP! *starts scaling the tree, or at least, tries to, but ends up falling on his butt* Pip! >o<
Wynn: *sighs* Staaar... *nudges Tsunami up the tree again when he tries again, this time, getting Tsunami up on a branch*
Tsunami: *looks victorious* PIPLUP!

Rose: Budeeeew~! *brings Eevee a Rawst berry and nudges it to him* Budew~!

*Speaking of the devil, Whip scrambles about, several meters away, running from phantom leaves that no longer follow him, until he falls over on the floor. Ralts mimics this and falls on her stomach as well*

*Eevee's ears perk up at the berry, and he seems reluctant. However, seeing Rose's offer, he holds his breath and takes a bite of the bitter berry, chewing, and then giving a happy yip, all the while, holding back a gag reflex. Amy, meanwhile, stands next to Tsunami, licking the honey from the bark with her superiour height*

Mana: *laughs and picks up Ralts* Aww~! You're so cuuuute~! *looks at the abandoned berry basket and points to it* Want a berry~?

Tsunami: *angry Amy has "stolen" his food* PIPLUP! *pokes at Amy's head to stop her*
Rose: *eyes sparkle in happiness* Budew budew budeeeew~! *runs off to get more*

*Ralts sniffs the berries with intrigue, and reaches for them with it's tiny arms, signalling that, yes, it wanted to try a berry*

*Amy looks up at Tsunami with one eye, and then continues licking the honey. Eevee's face turns green and his ears lower, and he quickly Digs a hole and buries the berry in the ground*

Mana: *is completely in love with Ralts as shown by her face and takes a cheri berry out of the basket to offer her* This one, maybe~?

Monica: *giggles next to Whip* It seems to me that even if you don't like her, you're kinda sharing a child with your friend~

Tsunami: *throws an absolute fit* PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP LUUUUUP!!! *unleashes bubblebeam at Amy*
Wynn: *shocked* (in a scolding matter) STAR-STARLY!!
Volt: *cheering his best friend on* SHINX SHINX SHINX!
Wynn: (to Volt, in the same tone) STAR!
Volt: *gives a guilty grin* S-Shinx...

*Ralts sniffs the berry and bites into it, and then shakes her head. Whip beats on the ground around him without lifting himself up*
Whip: D-DON'T SAY THAT!

*Amy seems untouched by the attack, but after a second, her hoof glows white. With a swift hit, she knocks away Tsunami with the same amount of force that the attack initially contained, not even looking up from her honey all the while*

Mana: *tosses the cheri berry onto Whip's head and pulls out a pecha berry* This one?

Tsunami: *falls out of the tree branch* @.@
Wynn: *flaps down to Tsunami to check on him* Star star!?
Tsunami: *suddenly gets back up with a lump on his head and angrily and continuously attacks Amy with Peck* PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP!!!

*Ralts nibbles on the Pecha Berry as well, shaking her head to it as well. Whip raises his head angrily at feeling the berry on him, but notices the leftover and snatches it up himself. After a second, his mouth catches aflame*
Whip: SP-SP-SPICY!!
*Whip starts hopping in place, crying for his mouth*

*Amy becomes annoyed by Tsunami's antics and rears up suddenly. She aims the top of her head, and Headbutts Tsunami off*
