For poor little Sneasel, things had been dreadfully dull for the past few days. Ever since Nathaniel had dropped him off at the Daycare for a little R&R after their rough outing protecting a Wooloo flock he had been nothing but bored. It had taken him no more than a single night to swipe anything of any significant value or interest to him from both the other Pokemon at the Daycare and the staff. What made things boring was the fact that no one seemed to care, barely lifting a finger to even go looking for their lost property. It took all fun out of the game when the other team refused to even play.

And so Sneasel had been forced to simply lay about, a far cry from his usual days while travelling with Nathaniel. His human friend always put him, and all of his other teammates through their paces on almost a daily basis. So laying about in the shaded branches of a Berry tree was more than a little easy going. Their hadn't even been any new additions to the Day Care area for a while, that was until one of the staff came out the back door and placed a Meowth out amongst the uninteresting rabble. Sneasel peered down from his perch at the newcomer, his eyes zeroing in on the golden medallion affixed to it's head, a shame that he couldn't swipe that. He'd actually tried once back in Motostoke city. It was the first time he'd ever seen a Mewoth and hadn't been aware that he couldn't simply dash past, grab the medallion and make a quick getaway. Needless to say it was a rather awkward day, with Nathaniel forcing him to apologize to a severely upset stall owner.

The Mewoth seemed more than happy to simply lay about in the sun. Sneasel thought it a grand idea to test the newcomer and see if they might be of any entertainment. With a deft flick of his hand Sneasel sent a minuscule Icy Wind towards Meowth. Certainly not enough to actually hurt, but enough to give the cat a definitive chill. With the small gust of arctic wind on course, Sneasel once more sat casually on his perch, looking away from the intended target but still watching out of the corner of his eyes. This should be fun.

The small Icy Wind was met with little more than an agitated glance and a tightening of posture. Though Sneasel let out a quiet snicker, his battle-tuned senses could tell that the Mewoth was getting ready, for what he couldn't say. Either way, Sneasel hoped that it would at least be interesting, things had been far too boring here of late. Now he had to figure something else out, as it seemed clear the Mewoth was still a rather unwilling participant in this little game.

Sneasel looked around for something, anything that he could do to try and incite some measure of response. The sight of one of the Daycare Staff walking about the large enclosure got him thinking. A moment of inspiration hit Sneasel and he jumped to his feet, running over to the trunk of the tree he sat in and stuffing his hand inside a small opening. After a moment of rifling through his stash he withdrew the hand, now clasping a rather expensive looking Phone that he had 'appropriated' from the Daycare Staff. A brief moment of concentration and Sneasel was on the move. Normally he was already an incredibly fast Pokemon, it being a specialty of his, but now he was almost a blur. He leapt down from his perch, darting across the grass almost too quick to follow, running right past Meowth and towards the Daycare Staff. He tugged on their leg, getting their attention and putting on a marvelous act of innocence. He pointed back towards the Meowth and ultimately the Mobile Phone that he had deftly placed in front of the cat Pokemon. When a rather unhappy look passed over the Daycare Staff's face, Sneasel, no longer the center of attention, cast a wicked grin towards Mewoth. This was unfolding quite well.

Sneasel huffed indignantly at the Day Care worker's refusal to, well, do anything. And the Meowth! The Meowth was being such a spoilsport as well. It was like he was the only one around here who had any concept of fun! A stray thought burst into Sneasel's mind, remembering something his Partner had once told him, that sometimes not everyone saw what he did as a game. Sneasel frowned slightly as he mulled it over in his head. He supposed he had been a little mean. The Mewoth didn't know him after all. Sighing to himself, Sneasel knew that he'd have to go and apologize, his Partner would be upset with him otherwise. Not that it was likely Nathaniel would ever find out, but still, Sneasel knew and that was enough.

He walked slowly in the Mewoth's direction, noticing how guarded and on edge it seemed to be, not that Sneasel could blame it. He hadn't really meant anything by it, just a bit of fun, but the Meowth probable didn't see it that way. His pace slowed as he came up to Mewoth, his clawed hands raised in front of him to try and put Meowth at ease. When Sneasel felt he was a comfortable distance from Meowth he sat down on the grass, staring at the cream cat.

"You're not much fun, you know that?" he said quietly as he crossed his arms and looked slightly off to the side, an indignant expression on his face.

"....Sorry." he muttered, hoping to put things to right.

Luckily Meowth seemed happy to live and let live at this point. Sneasel wasn't sure exactly how Nathaniel would have reacted if he came back for him and learnt that he'd gone and started a big row win the Daycare, but he knew it wouldn't have been good. He'd sent him here for a reason he supposed, for exactly this kind of behavior. Nathaniel might have been a little upset with him, but it was Corviknight that Sneasel was really afraid of. He was like the big brother to all of Nathaniel's Pokemon, having been with their Trainer from the beginning and he had mastered the fine art of the disappointed stare. Mewoth speaking to him broke him from his thoughts.

"Sneasel, Snea Snea, Sneasel Snea."
("Only a couple of days. The Boss should be back soon though.") He said in answer to the question, fretting over his claws subconsciously as he spoke.

Nathaniel had said he wouldn't be much longer than that, that he just had a little business to take care before he'd be back and they could then make their way to Mossdeep City by boat for the holidays, something Sneasel was very much looking forward to. He looked back to Meowth, gesturing lazily around the Daycare enclosure.

"Snea, Sneasel Snea Sneasel?"
("How about you? How long are you stuck here with the rest of these boring saps?") he asked.
