So, um...

[Romelle pops up on the feed with quite a few not-very-great-looking poffins piled up on a table behind her and a somewhat disappointed looking shiny Raticate.]

We had been considering entering the contest, but things didn't quite work out so well... as you can see. I'm fairly certain that most of them taste okay? But I can't guarantee anything. However, if anyone wants one or two for the road before leaving town, feel free to to come get some.

I'd take you up on that - but we're up on Victory Road.

Any chance we can get them on back order?

[questioneverything]

[It takes a moment for a response, as if Romelle was checking something.]

Sure. Ratatta wants to get in more practice in case another competition comes up. We can make some next time we're all at the house together.

[shiro2hero]

You know what?

That sounds great. Really great.

[questioneverything]

Yes. I feel like my team is due for a visit back anyway just to reconnect with everyone. Soon, okay?

[shiro2hero]

Well, let us know when you're there. We'll swing by then.

[questioneverything]

I will. Take care, Shiro. :)

[Look! She learned emoticons!]

[shiro2hero]

Hey, you too :)



;)

That one is winking.

[questioneverything]

[It took a moment for Romelle to respond as she actually turned her phone sideways to study it.]

THAT IS REALLY CUTE

[shiro2hero]

Haha

8)

Sunglasses!

[questioneverything]

[She giggled a little.]

That looks like Pidge.

[shiro2hero]

Oh no

You're right.

Now I have to tell her.

[questioneverything]

[Perfect!]

You will have to let me know what she says.

[shiro2hero]

Will do.

It's a promise, Ma'am.

[questioneverything]

TTYL




That's correct, right?

[shiro2hero]

...


I think so?

[questioneverything]

I was told people use it to mean "talk to you later"

[shiro2hero]

Then yes.

Yes, it is. I didn't know if there was some new definition.

[questioneverything]

Oh. I was also told that another good one is TTFN... Ta Ta For Now?

[shiro2hero]

Haha, yeah! That's a cute one.

[questioneverything]

I like that one a lot.

So, I guess... TTFN, then?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah. TTFN to you too.

[hyping]

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure your Pokemon would've done well.

[ It's kind of sad, how disappointed it looks... ]

Unless you're near Cherrygrove though, I'll have to pass on the poffins.

Re: text

[questioneverything]

He's very particular. He wanted them to be perfect.

That's fine, though. Now that he's discovered that he likes it, he seems to want to do it more, so we'll probably have more at a later date.

They'll probably be of better quality, too.

[insidegalra]

[Thace is sitting inside somewhere with several of his Pokemon around him, including his shiny Meowstic curled around his shoulders, and a tiny Exploud in his lap. Speaking of...]

Loud! Loud exploud!

[Thace laughs.] I believe Vruli wants to try them. How have you been doing?

[questioneverything]

Oh! Look who's evolved! Congratulations!

[Romelle smiled and then nodded a bit.]

Vruli can have any of them. [There was an enthusiastic "Raticate!" from the background.]

I have been alright. Mostly focused on helping Ratatta here figure out baking. [Yes... she was still calling her Raticate, "Ratatta"... she'll figure it out.] I'm sure we'll have better ones in the next batch, but he's been rather particular about them. He wants them perfect.

[insidegalra]

She has. We're going to be taking on the gym in Viridian together soon.

Ex-ex! [She wants all the sweet ones!]

[And Thace has met Shiro and his Gengar, so he doesn't blink at the name.]

I know how that is. Vruli and I learned how to make poffins together. We had a few rough attempts.

[questioneverything]

[The Raticate nodded happily and began sorting through what he had to pick out sweet ones for Vruli.]

Well, hopefully, with more practice, we'll be able to reach his own very picky standards.

[She chuckled.]

Do you have any tips from your own experience?

[insidegalra]

Smaller batches have helped. I also found smaller tools that were easier for Vruli to handle on her own due to her size. I could send you the link of where I ordered them from?

[Since she's not much bigger than she was, she probably still uses them, looks like.]

[questioneverything]

Smaller tools would definitely be helpful. I'll just have to curb his enthusiasm a bit to keep the batch size down.

[She chuckled.]

Thanks.

[insidegalra]

You're welcome. Whenever you're in Goldenrod, I'd be happy to come by and we can hold a poffin making session with our families.

[Thace is smiling while he says that, and there is indeed a link with the small-Pokemon-sized tools for all kinds of activities.]

[questioneverything]

[This Poke-zon online shopping was amazing!]

That sounds great, Thace. I'll definitely keep in touch about it. Thank you!

[insidegalra]

I look forward to it, and so does Vruli. You're welcome.
