[ The outskirts of New Bark Town. He doesn't particularly want to stay, but no one has explained why leaving would be a good option either. Maine is sitting in the shade of a tree. His Flabébé, now called Ragweed, is on his lap because he has given up, okay? The stupid thing won, but he will never say it. Never. It's lucky he didn't stick with his original name for it, but he was sick of waiting for the various Poke-vet techs to get over their righteous indigence over one measly curse word and treat the blasted thing for "fainting". Again. Again. He's been here only 24 hours, and he knows the nurse's name.

The stupid rat-faced thing that Rags had fought wasn't even that big! Maine only wanted it because it had teeth. It wasn't a flower, okay, and then he could give Ragweed to anyone and still have another pet to deal with... pet things, because here humans are more useless than ever.

He takes out his PokeGear (he is going to start calling everything poke- now. PokeBacon. PokeSteak. PokeHam. Are pokemon food?) and types out a message. ]

[ The only real damage was himself. He can live with that result. Maine would've preferred not getting all jacked up, but there's nothing he can do to change that.

In response, he switches back to video, pointing the camera at his knee which apparently makes a really good place for an orange Flabébé to settle down for a nap. ]

Stupid kind.

Niner couldn't dive farther. .

[ That should clear up any hard feelings about a good pilot. She was already below the skyline if she caught Wash. ]

I was kidding about Niner, man. I know she loves me. ...Or Carolina, mostly. But I mean, who doesn't love me? Don't answer that.

[Anyway, there are more pressing matters to address. York suddenly grins at the snoozing flower baby in Maine's lap.]

Oh, dude. I oughta tell you, that's a fairy, not a plant. No potting necessary.

[ He wasn't going to point out that Carolina is the best part of York. It's obvious to Maine that everyone already knows that. ]

So?

[ York's amusement is pissing Maine off. It's a plant if he says it's a plant. He refuses to lay claim to a fairy. Let the man have his pride. ]

[It's true. York also knows that.]

So burying it is kinda cruel and unusual? At least wait until it's trained up enough to fight back, man. Right, little guy?

[rememberthemaim]

How do they train?

[ He didn't mean it to be cruel and unusual! Half. He half meant it to be cruel and unusual. Maine thought it would help - this is his first experience with talking flowers in a lucid moment. Push ups don't seem to work in his head.

Guess who else is having a first? It's Rags' first time seeing someone on a PokéGear, and the little Flabébé could not be more gosh darned excited! The Pokémon's face fills the nearly the entire screen. ]

Fla?!

[ Maine can still be heard though. ]

Traitor.

[ He's not even sure if he means York or the flower. Both. He was told very explicitly they're on his team. ]
