exeggutorhead | 41st Transformation [action for Goldenrod

[Rainy days aren't the most fun to wander around a city during, but that's exactly what Envy's wound up doing today. Not entirely by his own choice: his Vaporeon wanted to go out to walk in what she considers lovely weather and there was really no getting around it. Nobody who has ever been actively stared down by Juliet the World's Most Judging Vaporeon would blame him for finding himself outside in a raincoat right now, an unusually pleased mer-fox trotting along beside him.]

[His hood is up and his hands are in his pockets as he walks, but he's not looking nearly as sulkish as he might have. Ever since those mutations, he hasn't minded rain so much.]

[Not that that stops him from taking every opportunity to duck into one of the shops that line Goldenrod's streets and spend some time in wonderful dryness before heading back out. And occasionally, he'll let out his Aerodactyl to spend a few minutes--at least until said dinosaur remembers that, in spite of his adopted mother, he doesn't actually like getting wet and complains to go back in the ball--run-hopping around with Juliet or gleefully chasing Goldenrod's Pidoves and Meowths. And maybe trying to sneak up on and chase a few pedestrians too. Just a little bit. How could you blame this poor dinosaur for wanting to play with all these people with bright colored coats and umbrellas? And it's not like Envy is really discouraging this behavior.]

_{[AND LO! A DELINQUENT HOVERS NEAR THE EXIT OF ONE OF THOSE SHOPS-oh it's just Henry hanging out with his freaky candle baby ghost. The photographer leans against the building attempting to use the little pokemon as a lighter for a freshly bought pack of cigs.]}

C'mon, Boo, hold still. I don't think your weird fire's going to do the trick...

[Envy's just leaving the shop when he hears Henry's voice, and almost reaches to check his pockets in case his Gear's gotten turned on somehow, but wait a second.]

[That voice isn't coming from his pocket, it's coming from the guy leaning against the building. A very familiar looking guy and his very familiar looking stupid candle baby.]

Henry? Hey, Henry!

[WALKING RIGHT ON UP so he's not just standing in the doorway.]

Almost...almost...-- _Aaaahh!

_{[INTRUDER, INTRUDER OH FUCKoh-- it's...bannasaurus friend. Henry recovers from the surprise and thankfully doesn't end up dropping Boo. He straightens up and offers his gear buddy a small smile.]

[Dude, Bananasaurus Friend in the flesh. He thought Envy was way out in Kanto.]}

Oh wow, hey, man.

Did I scare you?

[He grins. It's good to see his 'gear friend in person.]

Didn't realize you were in this city too. [Everyone moves around so much it's hard to keep track.]

Just a little bit, yeah. We've been here for a while since Heather's grounded. Mr. Mason makes all the travel plans now.

_{[Henry's smile wavers a little. Not because his mood is dropping, but because he's never met an 'internet friend' before and he isn't totally sure what should come next.]

[8I]}

[Envy tilts his head a little at the wavering smile, but then continues right on.]

Did he decide how much longer you guys were going to be here? [Because Envy is never in the same place as Henry and Heather this is great.]

And hey, if you don't mind the rain I was taking her [He gestures at Juliet] to the little park near here. You want to come with me?

[Clearly the answer to what to do is park adventures.]

_{[Henry shrugs.]}

No idea...the park sounds cool though. Oh! I gotta show you. Fruitloops, come out!

[A burst of red light from Henry's belt produced the Bananasaurus that had started their friendship. He was a little undersized, but healthy and alert.]

Hey, he's looking pretty good.

[Especially since the last time Envy saw Fruitloops, he was a little baby.]

Have you gotten to fly on him?

Not yet. I'm a little afraid to try.

_{[Henry loved the idea of flight...but not so much cracking his skull on pavement.]}

Which way is the park?

Pretty sure it's that way. [He points down the street.] It's not far, but...

[Envy looks like he's considering something.]

There's no reason we couldn't fly there, this street's big enough. Fruitloops might be a little small, but I've got his mother with me.

[Big grin. This is such a great idea!]

_{[Henry thinks about that before looking to his dinosaur.]}

Are you okay with that, boy? You wanna try? Wanna meet your mom?

_{[His pokemon grinned broadly and bobbed his head up and down.]}

[Envy would have been a little worried about Izumi's reaction to Fruitloops, what with how 'all battles all the time' she usually is, but she did do just fine with teaching the baby Aerodactyl how to fly. So he fishes her Pokeball out of his pocket and lets her on out.]

[She's definitely bigger than Fruitloops, and looks curiously at the other Tropius. She doesn't see a whole lot of others like her. Envy still puts a pre-emptive hand on the side of her neck in an attempt to signal that no this is not a battle he let her out for don't attack anything.]

Izumi, this is your kid. You remember, right, that egg from last winter?

[Izumi nods; she definitely remembers, and now she looks even more curious about Fruitloops, and no longer like she's sizing up an opponent. More like she's not quite sure how to react. Then she leans her neck down to lightly bump her head against his, rumbling a 'Troo' in greeting.]
