Hideo shook his head. "Nope. Never met one before, though the name sounds familiar." Maybe something he heard in passing one day. If he had encountered one before, he didn't know it.

But that wasn't important; what mattered was that there was one here now, that he could hear float close to him. He could only assume the Altaria was implicitly giving him permission, so he reached out to it, ready to be guided to where all the fluff was - but that wasn't necessary; he found it immediately.

Holy crap this was almost as fluffy as his Whimsicott.

He felt the fluff with both hands, blushing slightly. It was like he was touching a cloud. He was tempted to put his face into it, like a pillow. The only thing stopping him was that this wasn't his Pokemon.

He felt a small tug on the back of his shirt, his Beheeyem trying to get his attention, trying to remind him they had other matches to attend. "Just a minute," he said, enjoying the fluff just a bit longer.
