When the Mawile met Eryn’s eyes the second time, Eryn was taken aback by the new intensity of the Mawile’s stare. Gone was the timidness, the lack of forethought Eryn had been expecting to see, and in its place she saw, for a brief moment, a glimpse of an individual who looked much too calculating for the Pokemon too shy to get honey themself. 

And then the Mawile blinked, their call pitched in a way that reminded Eryn of the stereotypical fairy-type, all cute and cheery as the Mawile skipped over, allowing itself to be wrapped up into the Pokeball’s red beam with a prompt click of a button. 

[color=palevioletred]“Woah.”[/color] Eryn paused, turning to look at Dei. [color=palevioletred]“Did you catch that?”[/color]

The Charmander harrumphed imperiously in response.

[color=palevioletred]“You’re right. Maybe I was reading too much into it.”[/color] With a small frown, Eryn released the Mawile again, watching the Pokemon cautiously as it peered up with large, innocent eyes. Had she just imagined it? 

[color=palevioletred]“Well, moving on. Mawile, how do you feel about the name ‘Kyllene’? Kylie for short.”[/color]

There was a brief pause as the Mawile considered the name, and Eryn could’ve sworn she saw a flash of some emotion—annoyance?—flicker over the Mawile’s features. But, it was gone just as quickly as it’d come, and the Mawile was again all cheery smiles and big eyes.

“Maw,” she said, her larger jaws bobbing as she nodded. 

[color=palevioletred]“Great! Kylie, meet Dei. Dei, Kylie,”[/color] Eryn said, beaming. 

As prompted, the two Pokemon looked at each other, Dei with his arms crossed and Kylie with an enthusiastic smile. “Maw!” Kylie called cheerily in greeting. When Dei didn’t respond, she moved to tackle him with arms outstretched—a hug, Eryn realized—but Dei immediately swivelled so his tail was between them, growling.

[color=palevioletred]“Oh, Kylie, coming on too strong there. Let’s give the grump some room,”[/color] Eryn said, bending down to separate the two. [color=palevioletred]“And Dei,”[/color] Eryn said, reaching for the Charmander so unhesitatingly that he was forced to move his tail to avoid burning her, [color=palevioletred]“play nice.”[/color]

After giving both Pokemon a few gentle pats, Eryn straightened, glancing behind her to the Pokemon still feasting on the scattered honey. [color=palevioletred]“Alright, what do you two say we get some training in?”[/color] Her eyes skimmed over the wild Pokemon. [color=palevioletred]“Kylie, your Fairy Wind should do pretty well against any of the Purrloin around here, and Dei, well, Dei’s gotta get some work in sometime, and Purrloin aren’t the worst targets. So, let’s have you two tag team.”[/color] 

The two Pokemon glanced at each other. Kylie smiled sweetly, clasping her hands together, to which Dei responded by silently baring his teeth. Not to be put down, Kylie tried a kind, drawn-out “Maw” along the tones of a whiny “why?” but with her larger pair of jaws gaping above, teeth glinting in the sun as the jaws flexed out in a yawn. To this, Dei crossed his arms, his teeth disappearing as he glared. 

[color=palevioletred]“Okay, we agreed then?”[/color] Eryn glanced between her Pokemon. Kylie chirped an affirmative “Maw” and Dei was silent, which in total was good enough for her. 

[color=palevioletred]“Great! Let’s start off with those two Purrloin over there.”[/color] Eryn pointed at two Purrloin to the edge of the crowd of Pokemon. [color=palevioletred]“First let’s separate those two from the others. Kylie, a Fairy Wind should get their attention fairly quickly, so let’s start with that. Then, after we lead them a short distance away, Dei, add some Growls to weaken their attacks as Kylie continues with Fairy Wind.”[/color]

Her Pokemon nodded, then turned to face the Purrloin, Dei’s tail lashing behind him as Kylie whipped forth a Fairy Wind.
