"Well, I didn't know that, and apparently the annoyance didn't > either." "But he sure knows when to run away." Bob said, chuckling at the sight. After a three second pause, he smacked himself lightly in the head. "Where are my manners? The name's Bob. I guess you kind of met Raffy already." he said pointing at the Girafarig. "Ah, well my name is Drake, and the Ditto is Mimic." the Dragonite said pointing to one of the Flaaffys. "The timid young lady is Sarah, and and the other Flaaffy is her's." he finished. "Well nice to meet you all." Bob replied politely. "Excuse me for askng, but why do the two Flaffy look so stiff.?" he asked, concerned. "Well, th-they were f-frozen by a sh-shiny Unown" Sarah said kind of quietly, despite trying to speak up. "Oh, I can't help you with that." Bob said, a bit down. "So, where you folks heading to?" "I'm g-going to a little training spot I f-found." Sarah replies "I'm helping her by carrying her frozen friends" the Dragonite adds. About then, the sound of growling stomachs could be heard. The group decides to continue their conversation over some food. Drake sets the two Flaaffy between himself and Sarah before eating. Bob recalls the sleeping Ninetales, Mareep and Dratini before digging in. About halfway through the meal, the two Flaaffy, who were frozen snapped out of it. The Flaaffy that was Mimic blinked a couple of times, with a confused look on his face and looked at Drake, then Sarah, then the stranger. Sarah's Flaffy however, looked absolutely terrified. The last thing she remembered was being in Violet City and a really mean girl on a motorbike. Out of her slightly paranoid fears, she takes a quick look around before bolting off into the forest, not even noticing that her trainer was right next to her "W-why did she run away?" Sarah asked, nearly crying at the fact that her own pokemon didn't recognize her "She afraid. Last in Violet, now here. You should find her." Mimic says, offering his advice. Sarah gets up quietly, and grabs her crook and heads into the forest. She takes a big gulp before actually starting into the trees. Drake gets up and follows her before anyone else did. "Hey Bob. Could you watch our things?" Drake says, while walking off to catch up to Sarah. It was more of a formality than a question though. "Oh yeah, sure." Bob replies with voice fading as Drake disappears into the trees. He turns to the Ditto, still in a Flaaffy's form and swetdropped, while giving a nervous laugh. <<You are going to get SO busted.>> Raffy noted, a big grin appearing on both heads. A simple glare was Bob's response. TBC ------- Clayton
