Oz and Nori exchanged a glance, each wishing the other would take the first step. Seeing that neither one was about to, they looked back at the three Nidorans and the... ...three? "Dit dit dit TO!" one Nidoran giggled, shimmered, and turned back into its natural form, but only as a stopover before turning into a copy of the Aerodactyl. Pteryx wriggled out of her adopted sister's grip, and waddled over to her clone. Both Aerodactyls examined each other with perfect mirror movements, until a woman wearing a quilt stepped out of some nearby bushes and picked one of them up. She looked at the tiny trio, looked at the trio of Rockets, and smiled. "Err...sorry about this." Cuddles hmphed, and grabbed her charge back. She turned to leave... "DITTO!" 'Pteryx' oozed out of Cuddles' grip, this time turning into a copy of Omelette. Cuddles and Spunky blinked in unison, then scampered up Aerie's legs to get at their sister. Minax stared daggers when she saw Oz and Nori just watching the action. "What are you waiting for? GET THEM!" TBC?
