[b][i] – Vee[/i][/b]

Vee couldn’t help but let out a laugh when Altaire called Beast ‘intimidating’. Now [i]that[/i] was the last adjective she would’ve personally associated with the giant softy. “Naaah~!” She waved a paw in front of her in a dismissive manner. “No really. You should try jumping on him with the biggest form you can mimic. You’ll see how much of a pushover he is. And if he dares to scare you…” She gave him a wide grin, “I’ll join in with you and jump until we knock the wind out of him.”

“Not a ditto? Hm…” She tried to think of any other pokemon that could mimic others with such ease, but couldn’t think of anything else. There was a nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she was missing a rather obvious, though unlikely, possibility. Unfortunately, she couldn’t quite recall any other likely pokemon at the moment. [i]‘Ah well. Mulling over it on my own like this probably isn’t going to get me anywhere.’[/i]

Her ears prickled as she heard that Altaire was a male after all. She silently did a small victory lap in her imagination as she thought, [i]‘Yes! I knew it! I was right!’[/i] Now if it was around any of the other members of the village, she would have actually done the victory lap, regardless of how people stared. But the thought of scaring Altaire again barely managed to keep her in check to behave like a proper, mature adult. Barely. “Really now? Do you borrow Jazz’s form at times?” She asked, looking at Altaire’s fluffy tail instead of directly into his eyes.

With almost impeccable timing, though with enough time for Altaire to answer her back if he wished, Jazz suddenly descended into their midst and she watched the shy pokemon (Altaire) morph into a Jolteon. [i]‘Heh, it’s almost like watching me evolve.’[/i] Vee grinned widely. “Found us? We’re not playing hide and seek Jazz.” She trotted over to the Jolteon and suddenly gave her a light head-butt on the nose. “Tag! You’re it!” Taking clear advantage of her sudden announcement, Vee suddenly bolted away from Jazz, leaped over Rin, and ran deeper into the forest while calling back, “First one caught is a giant Snorlax! And must touch one of Akira’s tails as punishment~~!”
