Florence returned Leisy's smile, her gaze flicking towards the ground for a moment as she thought of a less than charitable comment from a girl she'd known at school. Apparently, she always looked like she was in pain when she smiled. 

[color=springgreen]"I'm Florence,"[/color] she replied. [color=springgreen]"And yeah... That was lucky."[/color] She paused, grimacing. Had that sounded insensitive? [color=springgreen]"Uhh, not for you, though, of course! Sorry! I mean, it's good your Pokemon evolved and all, but..."[/color] Chewing at her lip, she trailed off, only to speak again when Leisy asked about her Pokemon.

[color=springgreen]"She's a Chikorita,"[/color] Florence answered. [color=springgreen]"Her name's Vernie."[/color] 

The Chikorita approached Leisy, peering up at the bird perched on her shoulder. Flying types could mean trouble for Grass types, and the colour of its plumage also suggested Fire, but Florence and this Pokemon's trainer trusted each other, so the bird was unlikely to be a threat. "Chiko!" she squeaked, trotting alongside the three girls. Glancing from the Fletchinder to Florence, she noticed her trainer's furrowed brows and clenched hands. "Chiko-chi?"

[color=springgreen]"Ehh... It's nothing,"[/color] Florence murmured. [color=springgreen]"Just... Sorry I nearly got you hurt."[/color] She looked away, deep in thought. She really should have caught some more Pokemon before setting out to find the Cutieflies. There were many nocturnal predators out there the little bugs could be at the mercy of - Zubats, Hoothoots, Spinaraks - all of which had an advantage over Grass types.

She couldn't do this alone, but she couldn't just drag these two trainers in either. Especially not after one of their Pokemon had been hurt like that.

"Ita!" The squeak snapped her from her worries. She looked down to see Vernie staring at something in the shrubbery near the Pokemon centre.

From her hiding place, the tiny Pokemon watched for any approaching threats. None. No Zubats. Something shone in the corner of her vision - the auras of humans, drawing closer. She scuttled further into the bushes, then stopped. There was the Chikorita who'd protected her earlier, standing by the feet of the girl who'd meant to take her home. The bug edged forward... and froze. On the shoulder of one of the girls was a bird. A large bird.

[color=springgreen]"There you are!"[/color] Slowly approaching the frightened Cutiefly, Florence bent down. [color=springgreen]"Come on, it's safe now. They've gone."[/color] The bug, though, stepped back, her eyes on Leisy's Fletchinder.

[color=hotpink]"And I'm Ella,"[/color] the pink-haired girl said after Leisy had introduced herself. She smiled down at the Chikorita. [color=hotpink]"Hey, Vernie."[/color] She'd seen quite a few trainers with Chikoritas - a popular species in Feyhollow for their cuteness and generally friendly, non-aggressive temperaments.

[color=hotpink]"Huh?"[/color] Something had caught Vernie's attention. Looking in the same direction, Ella spotted a tiny yellow fly huddled in the bushes. A Cutiefly, which a relieved Florence tried to coax out. [color=hotpink]"Is your Cutiefly ok?"[/color] Ella asked. Florence had mentioned only having one Pokemon, but she must have meant she only had one with her at the moment. No wonder she'd remained so anxious.

The brunette turned her head. [color=springgreen]"She's not mine,"[/color] she explained. [color=springgreen]"She's someone else's, and she got lost. I was going to take her back to her home, but then, uh, well... That happened."[/color] As Florence spoke, Vernie took over attempting to soothe the Cutiefly, gently waving her leaf and filling the air with a relaxing herbal scent.

The Cutiefly took a few paces forward, but kept her gaze fixed on Bidein. [color=hotpink]"It's ok, little girl, he won't harm you,"[/color] Ella reassured the bug. [color=hotpink]"He's well trained."[/color] Just like all of Leisy's Pokemon, who had no trouble being out at the same time, or helping in a crisis. She was truly an example to follow - but how could someone follow a person they couldn't catch up with?
