6th Run // The Birth of a Unicorn (to-be) and a Count (in training)

[rambling_runner]

[ The video comes on and yet again, it's Danny the Lucario right up in it's business. He gives an excited bark as Ash addresses him in Irish. ]

Hey, are you sending to Anthy? [ Nope but clearly all their friends (and various strangers) should see this! Danny turned the camera, to reveal Ash standing beside a Ponyta; a rather large one for the species, whom he was affectionately petting on the nose and slowly petting through her fiery mane. She nuzzled into his hands, getting a hold of his jacket and chewing on it. He didn't mind at all, merely beaming at the Gear. ]

Anthy, thank you so, so much for this! She's so beautiful. Next time we meet up I'll bring her over, I just wanted you to see her like, immediately. I named her Amalthea. Oh shit, I should call Ford too...

[ He gently pulled his jacket free of Amalthea and checked inside. Danny moved the camera so it could catch a glimpse of a small Zubat, nestled inside and hanging upside down to snooze out of the sun's rays. Danny barked at him, making Ash frown. ] C'mon Danny, you gotta hang up first so we can call him- Wait. [ Danny laughs boisterously as Ash rubbed his face. ] Well I ain't letting you handle the camera again!

Hatched! Her and my Invidia, he's a Zoroark, I got the pair of 'em from a breeder pretty early on. Rogue and Lightning, my Furret and Luxray, they're ones I caught before that.

As for yer question.... [He glances around behind him.] Well, if ya have a solid home and not just a bunch of hotels yer hoppin' to and from, ya can keep as many Pokemon out as will fit. And since I basically live here at the circus...

[rambling_runner]

Ah...see, I dunno if I'm ready to set my roots yet. There's so many places to go and all...Goldenrod's nice but it ain't quite home to me.

Wait. Did you say a Zoroark? ...What's he like?

[pipers_son]

Well, I can understand that. S'just somethin' ta keep in mind when ya get through all the different cities.

Oh, Invidia's great! I thought he'd be a bit more of a trickster, but he's a quiet sort, always eager ta help out. Helps me run the circus a bit too- they can mimic people down ta the voices, ya know.

[rambling_runner]

Yeah...they evolve from a Zorua, right? [ It's clear there's something on his mind. ]

[pipers_son]

That's right. Quid for yer thoughts?

[rambling_runner]

Oh, not a penny? My thoughts that valuable?

[ He paused though, stroking through Amalthea's flames. ] I got a Zorua. But he refuses to show his face to anyone, cept me. And I get the feeling he doesn't like many people either.

[pipers_son]

I'm just extra generous ta fellow Brits~.

[But anyway. He hums thoughtfully, thinking that over.]

Problem child, huh? That 'anyone' include other Pokemon?

[rambling_runner]

Usually? Yeah. He'll take on their forms instead. If it's just me and like one or two of the others, he'll be himself If there's more out then he'll change into one of them. But I dunno...there's something about it that seems off to me. He's a good Pokemon but. It just feels like there's something else going on with him.

[pipers_son]

Hmm... [He thinks on that carefully.] Got any psychic types yet?

[rambling_runner]

I got two. T-Pain but he doesn't seem really aware of it, and Diarmuid. He's a Kirlia, but he's also one of the ones who doesn't like him.

[pipers_son]

Ah. That's tricky, then.

Well.... If ya ever care for it, yer welcome ta drop by the circus some time, and one of mine can try. Most of 'em are friendly enough, and they wouldn't mind helpin'.

[rambling_runner]

Helping with what? I mean, aren't Dark types immune to psychics? I dunno what they could try with him.

[ Please don't hit his little shitlord of a fox, it's a shitlord but still his fox! Amalthea snorted and shifted her nose to chew on the shoulder of his jacket. ]

[pipers_son]

Well- it takes a Pokemon ta understand a Pokemon, right? So they could talk with 'em, and then translate things ta ya, so that ya could figure out what's wrong.

That kinda thing.

[rambling_runner]

Yeah...if he talks to em. [ Ash sighed. ]

We'll figure it out somehow. For now he's not bad or anything; just a bit of a mystery. And he does have a friend in the team, so he's not super alone or anything. [ Although, it's a bit worrying that of all his pokemon, Kinnagoe's decided to spend the most time with Macavity. ]

[pipers_son]

Well, so long as he has a carin' trainer and someone ta get along with, should all be well. Still, offer is always open whenever ya drop by Goldenrod!

If nothin' else, he might like Invidia!
