perhaps it was the fact she had only three dittos to her name, perhaps it was the idea that her fascination with dittos extended into 'animated object'-type pokemon. both were particularly strong arguments as to why she immediately reached for an empty pokeball in her pocket only to have her only awake ditto step before her in a protective manner. the pink gelatin dropped its rock form and everything to start quivering in front of the honedge, making a low 'diii...' noise as if some little piss pot of pink jell-o would strike the fear of god into anyone or anything. hell, it even had its little pink stub-like arms extended as if to say the honedge would have to go past it to get to its trainer.[break][break]
"it's ok, you little baby," alecis cooed at her ditto, picking it up with one hand which it easily melted into and formed a goo-like glove over. it seemed to turn shy, its mouth stretching out wide in a goofy grin. it seemed content with its 'job well done' and alecis was more than happy to let it slide onto her shoulder as she readjusted her hand for it to be able to easily do so. child-like ditto now on her frame, the hopeful trainer did as one does --[break][break]
attempted to catch a motherfucking pokemon in the wild.[break][break]
"wake up," she ordered of the pokeball she tipped forward, red light oozing forward as lazily as the second ditto that just formed a puddle on the floor. "díííííí," it complains, not wanting to get up. alecis sighs at this - not in a disappointed manner, but in the sense of 'i knew this was coming.' dipping her foot into the puddle of ooze, she roused it awake and it seemed to jump upon seeing the honedge - immediately transforming and assuming the appearance of the honedge, but with a comically incorrect set of eyeballs where the true honedge's one eye would be. "night slash," alecis called out - a little uncertain of the moveset of the pokemon since she only really knew of it through pokedex entries and shows she'd see on tv. seeing it in the wild was the difference between seeing an idol on stage as opposed to on a computer screen. luckily, the ditto understood and immediately went to slash at the ghost sword and alecis made an all too eager swing back and forth of her body - throwing out a pokeball.[break][break]
what a lucky day, really. perhaps this honedge would prove to be one step closer to achieving the answers to her questions regarding pokemon and their life cycles, object-like or not.
