[color=#FFFACD]'Ah.'[/color] Rowan blinked in realization as the little creature revealed itself. It… it wasn’t a Marill. It was smaller. This had to be… the name escaped Rowan, but the lower evolution of Marill. From what the Pokémon itself said… [color=#FFFACD]‘Azurill.’[/color] He kindly repeated after it, his own voice in a bit of amazement. The method which it travelled over the surface of the water was an interesting sight to behold, surely physics were playing an amazing role that Rowan didn’t grasp quite yet. And, it got onto its ball, using its own tail as a platform in the water. It… it looked really cute.

[color=#FFFACD]'Woah.'[/color] And then it shot water from its mouth, somehow either understanding what Rowan wanted or getting the same idea itself. The heat caused to flow down as a mist as it came down, the wet feeling and smell welling over Rowan and his fainted Purrloin. [color=#FFFACD]'Ah…'[/color] He smiled, taking advantage of the situation and started using the water to clean the wound on his Purrloin, noting that her fur maintained her grace even as she was fainted. Then… Oh, no. Seems like the Azurill didn’t think it had achieved anything, or something. It was a bit hard to tell. But, it was clear to Rowan. He needed to encourage it.

[color=#FFFACD]'Hey.'[/color] Rowan smiled and calmly went down on his knees before the little Pokémon, despite what this might do to his pants. [color=#FFFACD]'Thank you very much! With this, Purrloin should be alright until I can take her back, and it’s all thanks to you.'[/color] He made sure to keep his voice as kind as possible. This little Pokémon… was so much like a child younger than him. It was impossible to wish harm on it. Even the thought of trying to capture it with a Pokéball now felt like it’d be an act of cruelty, he couldn’t do that. [color=#FFFACD]'If I had my bag right now, I so would have given you a treat as thank you…'[/color] Rowan sighed a bit, but continued smiling.

[color=#FFFACD]'Hey, could you help be back to the plains? I might have gotten a little lost.'[/color] Maybe. He was pretty sure if he walked in roughly THAT direction, he’d get where he wanted eventually. But, having a guide sure would help… [color=#FFFACD]'If it’s not too much, of course.'[/color]
