Well, it might be the wrong flavour of giant gummy Snorlax. [ But he's grinning playfully anyway. Behind him, Danny's tail wags. Yes, his sweets made it to Bean! He's heard they were super tasty, so he really hopes they are. ]

Hitchcock's not trying to start shit is he? He likes to show off, usually by starting a fight. Oh! Did you get the letter as well?

[thenightsky]

It's perfect, don't worry.

[And he appreciates it a lot. Things had been really weird lately what with Prompto acting so strange and Ignis being around. The little things like Ash's package of gifts made it better.]

Nah he's being good. I complimented him a bunch and he puffed up like he was the best bird around. Choco wasn't impressed but at least she's tolerating him.

[rambling_runner]

Ah good. Yeah, it's the birds he likes to challenge the most. He and Fionn have some kind of...friendly rivaly I think. They'll argue and get into scraps, but they'll perch side by side and be just fine after.

[ He has no idea about recent events with Prompto; He knows he's been feeling blue after Damien the Yamask had spoken to him over the network about his trainer being upset, and he knew Ignis coming had revealed some tough times ahead. But he didn't know how...off it could be, to be around that all the time. ]

Honestly I was gonna send you that stuff once I got here, but everyone wanted to add something. By the time I was wrapping it up ont he beach, the surfers wanted to add some shells too.

[thenightsky]

Choco just isn't a fan of most other Pokemon. She's a bit of a lone wolf type. But I think she may be warming up to him.

[As warm as the Toucannon could be.]

How dare you. [Noct rolled his eyes playfully.] I appreciate the stuff all the same and so do all the others, promise. I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet but the seashells may get turned into necklaces for everyone.

[rambling_runner]

Aw, that's good! [ Hitchcock would, of course, be happy with the attention. Ash beamed at the idea of shell necklaces ] Aw that's really cool! You'll have to show me them once they're done.

The surfers have been giving our rings of flowers here. It's so cute.

[thenightsky]

I will, I promise! Expect lots of pictures once they're all done.

[It was going to be ridiculous and fun.]

They really like you guys. Am I ever going to see you guys in person again or are you going to disappear with the Pikachu surfer cult?

[rambling_runner]

[ Ash laughed and shook his head. ] No no! I can't follow them to their super secret Pikachu island. Apparently that's actually where they go; they come here for the summer waves and go back to some island for the rest of the year.

And they ain't a cult! They're just some cool little chus who keep asking me for berries. And one of em keeps sitting and meditating with me.

[thenightsky]

Uh huh. Kind of sounds like a cult if you ask me.

[He's teasing, though. They sound like pretty awesome little Chus.]

Maybe he'll end up going with you when you finally leave.

[rambling_runner]

Nah, probably not. I mean, they don't like Pokeballs and live for the waves. He just likes hanging out and teaching me stuff through Diarmuid. [ He lowers his voice with a smile ]

It's hilarious to watch Diarmuid translate what he's saying, cos I'm pretty sure Diarmuid doesn't buy into their surfer logic at all.

[thenightsky]

Hey, you never know. Maybe he'll surprise you!

[His grin turns into a warm smile.]

That's kind of hilariously adorable.

[rambling_runner]

It is sweet. I think it's safe to say Diarmuid prefers him to some of my other troublemakers. Did I mention that the Pikachu gave himself a name? He made sure Diarmuid told me his name is Holokai, so I've been calling him that.

[thenightsky]

That's kind of awesome.

[Holokai. Very nice.]

Do they all have names? The Pikachus, I mean.

[rambling_runner]

I think they do! Only Holokai's told me his though. I told him my name is Ash and he got all thoughtful over it, then told me it's a kinda sad name. Why'd I get called after the burnt remains of trees?

Took a while to explain that it's a nickname and that Ashley's just a name. it probably means something but I got no idea what!

[thenightsky]

[Noctis can't help but snort softly.]

That Pikachu is going to make you start questioning everything, just watch.

[rambling_runner]

Not if I keep distracting him by telling him how the sands shift and flow like water when you try to hold it. Which totally means something too.

[ He's grinning. Holokai is hilarious and he's so glad he bolted over two regions to get here, so he could meet him! ]

[thenightsky]

Ash...that's both terrible and wonderful all at the same time.

[rambling_runner]

What, you're not gonna be coming down and joining us at the beach?

Like, I'll totally teach you the ways of the surf, maaaan. [ He might have drawled that last sentence just like a surfer bum...aka like Holokai. ]

[thenightsky]

I'm done with you. We can't be friends anymore.

[Ash that was terrible. Terrible!]

[rambling_runner]

Wait, nooooooo!

I can't be part of the Pikachu cult if I don't bring a friend into it with me!! [ FEEL THE DESPAIR AND DRAMA! ]

[thenightsky]

As much as I love the water and as much as I'd probably love surfing, no way! Friendship canceled. It's not happening.

[NOPE. HE WON'T GIVE IN, JERK.]

[rambling_runner]

Nooooooo! [ Ash dramatically falls off screen, lamenting the loss of his dear friend!!

Unknowingly to Ash, Danny had been behind him. He saw Ash on the floor and wandered over, to see what was going on. Realising that Ash was just goofing off, Danny beamed - and grabbed the Gear and ran off with it. Ash promptly stopped 'dying of loneliness' and sat upright with a jolt ]

DANNY WAIT-

[ NOPE HE'S OUT. Danny barked at Noctis. Is Bean there? :D Since Ash is busy dying! ]

[thenightsky]

[Noctis can't help it. He starts laughing when Danny takes off with the 'gear, knowing exactly what the Lucario wanted.

He didn't bother saying anything and just handed the 'gear off and for a moment there's nothing in view as it's being transported--

And then there's Bean!

Realizing who was on the end of the call the Snorlax beamed, rumbling happily.]

Danny!

[rambling_runner]

Bean! Are the candies good? I spent ages trying to find the perfect ones fro you!

[ there'd been a nice little selection of Pokemon-friendly candies to choose from, so Danny had actually spent a good twenty minutes going between the boxes to find the perfect one for her. He leapt onto a rock to sit out of Ash's reach, who gave up with a smile. It sounded like Danny had gotten through to his girlfriend. ]

[thenightsky]

They are perfect, Danny. I love them.

[Anything from Danny was perfect in her eyes, though, let's be honest.

Bean adjusted her hold on the 'gear as she sat down as well, smiling at the other Pokemon.]

I'm going to eat them slowly so I can savor them longer.

[rambling_runner]

[ His tail wags. While Bean might be happy with whatever he got her, he wanted her to have the very best. His queen deserved it! ]

I'm so glad! You eat them however you want, they're all yours! When I heard Ash was sending Noctis some presents, I made him stop so I could find something you. And then others wanted to add stuff so it ended up taking a while.
