birds of a bond [m]

Clover pulled out a sandwich, settling in on his patch of sand. The birds switched from baile to sensu, dancing slowly and more gracefully than the higher paced rhythm of baile. Of course, now their Sensu Oricorio was in her element and Baile Oricorio was trying to slow down enough to match the movements. It was sweet to watch. This was easier for Archen to copy, though he looked inelegant in his movements. He was a bit of an awkward bird all around. [break][break]

She took a bite of her sandwich and inspected it with loving eyes - tamato and mozzarella, a match made in heaven - only to look up and see three Oricorios. Mouth full of sandwich, she asked, "did I get another one?" Her expression spelled out confusion much like Psyduck's.

"Let's get it!" Clover pumped a fist in the air. Psyduck made a sound that was probably supposed to be a battle cry. It was uninspiring, but Clover wouldn't hold it against her. Psyduck was one of their least articulate pokemon, but they felt there was a bond there regardless. Psyduck had stuck around this long, after all.

CLAMPERL DIVING

Okay, the little incense container was interesting, but she wasn't sure if it would work because of the seawater in it. She hadn't used one before. Of the things they'd found so far, they were only familiar with the pokeballs. The little crystal was weird, but she hoped it was usable. All they'd asked for, of course, was a stupid Clamperl. The festival wasn't over just yet, so another dive was in order.

For a moment, he thought she'd decline. It was a victory when she reluctantly accepted. "Awesome! You're gonna love it." Their community loved big group gatherings and meals. It was a special time to thank each other for their teamwork as well as show appreciation to the land that had given them so much. [break][break]

He blushed a little at the question, embarrassed at his lack of manners. "Sorry - uh, Clover." They stepped closer to offer a hand to shake. "And you are?"

Clover clapped her hands rhythmically. Both Oricorios danced to baile, even though the Sensu style Oricorio was unused to the movements. Her Archen stumbled along with about as much grace. Psyduck didn't even bother to try. "C'mon you guys, we're supposed to work as a team." As far as team building exercises went, this was admittedly unorthodox. Clover couldn't help but encourage their Alolan birds to perform their hearts out, though. Teetering dance was one of the most valuable tools in her collective toolbox.

Nice. He'd found some odd doodads down here already. No Clamperl. But they were getting close, he could tell. Their dives were getting further and further into the depths. Surely, there would be a Clamperl waiting in a mound of sand just ripe for the taking. Clover closed their eyes this time. He would let his intuition guide him to the Clamperl.

Strategy wasn't a strength of Clover's. She flew by the seat of her pants, more often than not. Still, she made note of this move to disable a pokemon's last used technique. It could be helpful in their future endeavors to create environmental catastrophes. [break][break]

"Steal? No, no," they said with exaggerated hand gestures. "These are my neighbors. We're in the Hoyeon reservation in Fallarbor. His flock freaked out and I offered to wrangle 'em." They were still feeling sheepish about their embarrassing plight. "But again, I appreciate your help." [break][break]

They felt bad freeloading. "If you're interested, we're doing a bonfire tonight, and you're totally welcome to come on by. Tauros steaks and Tangela haystacks." The latter was more a specialty of her Earth sect, but Hoyeon food had made its way into the dominant Hoenn culture's culinary front over the years. [break][break]

Clover kept a respectable distance from the Mareep as they walked them towards town.

Clover turned her head to hide a wry smile. He was funny, but she wasn't sure he was intending to be. "Rare temperament for sure. Between you and me, houndour and similar pokemon tend to freak me out. I'm used to seeing them act kinda, like, feral." She said it with uncertainty, not wanting to offend. [break][break]

After all, their frequent collecting of bugs and birds could make many people uncomfortable, too. "But I guess we shouldn't judge by appearance," they acknowledged as the two of them worked their way up the path. "This guy, for example, would scare quite a few people." They gestured at the Victreebel currently snoozing. "I don't know how dangerous their toxins are specifically, but I can see why people would keep their distance." [break][break]

Still, it was hard to hate a snoozing pokemon. Clover thought they were cute when they dozed. Oricorio seemed to agree, coming up to investigate the Victreebel in its personal space. "Do you study pokemon behavior-izing?" Her mind scrambled for the word behaviorism and abandoned the pursuit quickly. "I think its neat, but I've been spending my time trying to hunt down the Protectors. Er, the Regi-crew, I think you folks would call it. Saw Regieleki once." A husk of it, they'd later been told.

Clover worked his way up the rocks, glad the pretty lady and her pokemon pushed the Tropius away. Clover's Oricorio flew down to teetering dance at the Vileplum that had been preparing a toxic shot at both trainers. [break][break]

"Not your fault... wild pokemon are unpredictable," he said between breaths as he got to his feet beside her. "I've never seen a pokemon like yours." They looked at Onna, whose bitter malice had terrified Clover a bit, and it wasn't even directed at him. "I'm down here to learn about tera crystals more. They're pretty important to Roc- uh, Rocky, my neighbor." [break][break]

Great cover. [break][break]

They blushed a bit at the misstep and tried to barrel past it. "Are you here for the crystals, too?"

His eyes lit up at the prospect. The conversation turned conspiratorial as Tempest described giving the shadow pokemon to Cillian. Clover wanted a leg up wherever they could get it. "Sounds fun! What a cool icebreaker." They hoped the other spooky members of Rocket were as welcoming as Temp. Clover had met only a few in their low-level shenanigans of late.[break][break]

"Thanks for putting me on. I'll see to it that Mr. Cillian gets a little freaky Flygon." The pokemon in question had been on the aggressive side, so Clover honestly felt like they were handing over a burden rather than a gift, but. Whatever. It'd be Cillian's problem, and if it put Clover on his good side... all the better.[break][break]

Clover could hardly stand still in their excitement. "Now that we've cooked up a plan, how about we celebrate with a stop by the store up front?" Clover wanted a silly Tentacool hat with the droopy tentacle ears to tug on, and the store also sold cups of brownie crumbles with blue jelly on top to look like the ocean floor.

Clover dipped beneath the surface. Psyduck watched above to keep them safe. Well, safe enough. Psyduck's attention span was a little worrying. In any case, Clover held their breath as they scoured the seafloor. There had to be something shiny down here. Something like a Clamperl, if they were lucky.

Clover coughed after landing and getting their breath back. It took a moment to get his wits about him again. Tropius used synthesis to ease the pain in his chest, giving Clover the jump they needed to get back on their feet.[break][break]

The angry-scared Mareep were all in a dazed confusion. [break][break]

Huh. "How'd you do that?" The flock seemed unsure what to do now that their only offense move was taken from them. A docile behavior settled over them, giving Clover the window of opportunity to begin herding them back home. Clover beamed at the newcomer with a big smile. "Thanks! I'm sure glad you were coming this way." Clover patted the side of one of the Mareep only to get a static shock for the trouble. [break][break]

She shook her hand out as a response. "Um, you didn't see me go flying, did you?" Her ears felt warm. "All a part of the plan, of course, if you did."

His advice was solid. She could do that. Keep her head down, work hard, commit to what she was good at (stupid amounts of bravery, causing a scene). "So I'm in?" She couldn't keep the excitement from her voice, but she managed to keep it hushed. The details of 'passing' as a Rocket were vague, but once someone in the organization approved of you, you were really a grunt.[break][break]

His warning didn't fall on deaf ears. "Like the Shard," they acknowledged. It had hunted them down. "Okay. I can keep my wits about me." They put their hands on their hips, proud of themselves. "I like the weird stuff that happens out here. I found a shadow-y pokemon just the other day. It fought a lot, but after, like, ten pokeballs, I got him." She scratched at her chin. "Not really my kinda guy, but he looks neat. Just don't think he'll play well with my team."[break][break]
