[h1][color=2e8b57]Isla Gill[/color][/h1][sub][hr][color=2e8b57]Location:[/color] Pines End [color=2e8b57]Mentions:[/color] [@Pyromania99][/sub] [quote][i]"Oh! Umm, Isla, was it? I'm surprised anyone came out this way toward Pine's End. Is your Eevee doing well?"[/i][/quote] Isla smiled, looking up sideways at the so-proclaimed Eevee. He was awake, now, blinking with his face half-hidden amid the great fluffy collar as the ears had perked-up to listen to the great wide wonders that was Pines End. The little black nose peeked-out amid the wispy fur, sniffing away, just made her melt for a moment. One hand reached up to pet Dancing, the Eevee moving his head out among the collar and nuzzling into her hand. “Yeah he’s ah…he’s doing good.” [quote][i]"Oh! Sorry Isla, one minute. So, yes, apologies. When will you reopen? I have a scientific curiosity... Not to mention a personal one at that."[/i][/quote] She paused, looking-over the…employee, Isla had thought previously. That seemed to be right enough, anyways, considering that Camila was so eager to get information from her and that the lady, apparently, had enough control over the shrine to say whether or not it was open. That or she was…just an employee. Wasn’t there a schedule somewhere or another that said when such places were or weren’t open? Isla sucked on her tooth at the thought as she pet Dancing some more, Swiper prancing back and forth about her legs in figures-of-eight. [quote][i]“...Never- You work for Professor Camphor…? Well…look, the temple isn’t open because I say it's not. But if you’re with the professor, then…you know a lot about pokemon right?” “Alright, you can come in, but don’t touch anything…and try not to uhm, be too excitable…For starters, my name is Yasu. I’m…well, the priestess here I guess, if you want to call it that, though most days I just clean and make sure the shrine is well taken care of…”[/i][/quote] She followed Camila and the priestess -ha, that first impression [i]had[/i] been right- into the shrine, stooping briefly to scoop up Swiper in her hands to bodily carry the little fox in her cradled arms. He went limp immediately at the motion, staring upwards at the ceiling as though contemplating whether or not the sheer accostment was acceptable. After a few moments, the Nickit whined-out a, “Niiii,” shifting his head left and right to get a better look about. Isla breathed-out a sigh, and tried to keep things respectful for the sake of the shrine. At least, that’s what she [i]thought[/i] the priestess, Yasu, had meant by not being too excitable. The building itself was beautiful, bits and pieces of how it was arranged, the detailing on parts here and there, reminding her of pictures she’d seen about other such locations in Kanto or Johto. Parts of the style weren’t familiar, though, possibly being more Eidda in origin if Isla were to take a guess. It all looked remarkably well taken care of, maintained as much as could be expected from the fact that it looked ancient, yet [i]did[/i] have a priestess…a brief thought rose in Isla’s mind. How did such priestesses come into the job? There couldn’t be an order, or something, seeing as how…well, there was no one there and Yasu wasn’t wearing some traditional clothing or another. Isla had an image of priestesses always being in the traditional clothing. Did priestesses wear normal clothing? She wasn’t really sure. She also was certain such a question wasn’t something that bore asking while in the shrine itself. Isla looked over the carvings about the door, though…they were beautiful, complex. It was clearly something connected to the forest, with depictions of Pokémon as they had existed in the far, far past there. Of course, the shrine would be connected to the forest - where else would it be connected to, built where it was? She suppressed the urge to scoff at the dumb question. Yasu said they were to not be too excitable. [quote][i]“Right…Hatty?” “Teeeen?”[/i][/quote] Isla turned slowly, considering that she was cradling one fox with another guy lounged about her shoulder. What she saw, though, would make her pause again. She didn’t exactly know the Pokémon, but whatever he or she was didn’t seem entirely comfortable with the presence of two new people. Maybe that’s what she’d meant before, about not being too excitable. Was he or she just nervous about people? Could this Pokémon sense excitability? Was that a thing for it? She tried to not be excitable, but of course that would just…make Isla nervous about not being excitable. Was being nervous excitable?[i]No, no, no[/i]. That was just a cycle of stuff here and there and again. The young girl closed her eyes, breathing deeply as Swiper pawed briefly at her hands. After a few brief breaths, she felt…better, maybe? Better to just not think about it. Amid the whole ordeal Isla had missed the brief exchange between Yasu and her Pokémon. It was fine, though, fine since she was now talking to Camila and Isla. [quote][i]“So, if you really are interested in the shrine and not just here to gawk like some tourist, then you can visit. As for what I want help with…I’m looking for information on a pokemon that you might know about or have seen. It’s a small pokemon, small body, green in color. Two antennas. I realize that is not the best description but it's all I really have to go on.”[/i][/quote] A…small Pokémon, green, with two antennas…Isla stared, thinking for a moment about it. What Pokémon was there that would warrant worship or notability near a shrine connected to a forest, ancient as it was. Surely it had to be one that wasn’t from Eidda…they knew all about their own myths and legends, Pokémon of long-past, and wouldn’t ask some strangers about one. It must be another, from another region…one that could travel the distances. What Pokémon like that [i]were[/i] connected to forests…Shaymin, from Sinnoh? That wouldn’t be, though…Shaymin had no antennas. What else was connected to forests…Suicune? Not green, not small, no antennas. It didn’t match any of Sinnoh’s lake guardians, either, small as they were…what else, what else… Johto and Kanto. Narrow things down to the styles she could see in the building. Kanto didn’t have anything of the sort, maybe…Isla could smack herself at being stupid about it. She’d forgotten about…Cele…what [i]was[/i] the name. Celebe? [i]Celebi[/i]. Celery was how she remembered it. It fit everything, was connected to…[i]oh heck[/i], which forest was Celebi connected to…Santalune? No, that was Kalos. Ilex, that was it. “Are you…thinking of Celebi, from Johto?” [hr][hider=Pokémon | Inventory][color=2e8b57]Pokémon:[/color][list][*] Dancing | Eevee | Level 5 | Anticipation | Pokéball Tackle, Tail Whip, Covet, Growl, Helping Hand, Sand Attack, Wish [*] Swiper | Nickit | Level 7 | Runaway | Pokéball Quick Attack, Tail Whip, Beat Up [/list][color=2e8b57]Inventory:[/color] 4000p[list]4 x Pokéball 3 x Potion [/list][/hider]
