Once under the cover of the trees, Slasher stopped to let his passengers off. He only hoped that no one had gotten a good look at him in the city. Looking up, Seth could see Mt. Moon looming in the distance. He scratched his furry ear. "Well, we're back here again." Aerie followed his gaze and shuddered. "We're not going through there are we? I don't want to go there again..." "May have to," Seth stroked her back soothingly. "I'm sure those Mew are long gone by now though." "Maybe...." Aerie blinked. "But now that I think of it, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. I never did get to *thank* them for hosting my stay there." Seth noted her tone of voice uneasily, but decided not to dwell on it. They would make it to Saffron.... Marshmallow bounced over. "Mt. Moon! I just came from there! But I don't know anyone there named Mew." "Mew not seen, hide themselves better than Ditto," Mimic nodded. "Continue now?" Slasher lay on the ground and brushed at his whiskers. "Hold on a bit you guys, I want a breather here." "Cha, me too," Seth gave his head a quick shake. "I've been stuck in this form too long, and my head is starting to feel funny." Within seconds he was back in his default human form, sitting on the grass. Once the glow faded from him, Marshmallow and Eevee screeched in terror. Seth turned startled wide emerald eyes on them. "Geez! You guys are just going to have to learn to accept the way I am, because staying in another form too long wrecks havok on my mind. I'm *not* going to hurt you, okay?" Marshmallow looked nervous, and Eevee was still growling and bristling at Seth. "Humans are bad!" Seth saw Mimic shake his head in dismay in the corner of his vision. The blue-haired youth gave an exasperated sigh. "Look.....do I smell human to you?" Eevee paused at the strange question. Then he lifted his little nose to the air. He gave Seth a confused stare. "No....smell like Ditto." "Not quite, but close enough. In any case, does that make you feel any better?" Seth asked, noticing Aerie hop up and cling to his head. She seemed quite content to stay there. "Pika," She smiled, resting her head in Seth's hair. He noticed that she didn't seem to mind being out of her usual form during the extended period. Hmm. Mimic, who had been watching, trotted up. "Dittos know perhaps better than most that can never judge by appearance." Marshmallow looked over at Eevee. "Jiggly..." TBC?
