Good afternoon everyone, on this unforgivably hot day. I would like to invite those near and far to my ranch. You may have heard that I do ask my visitors for help with the myriad chores, but is that not natural? I help you, you help me...
A bit of hard work is good for you, I say. So lay down you preconceptions and come for a visit. I have a good handful of those shiny Eevees that you all adore so much. Or if that might not strike your fancy, there are a good deal more. Please refer to the Ledger.
As you can see, I also have a bit of a hole in my water type breeding stock. Those with a Marill that they would be willing to trade me should contact me. For my own purposes, I will also be trading for or purchasing Shiftry, Hoppip, Axew, and Victreebel. The sooner you're here, the sooner you might fulfill your dreams. So, what are you waiting for?

Do you really have anything more important to do than appreciate a horse?
no subject
I may need some assistance getting to your ranch, however.

I will wait for you at the Pokemon Center.
text --> action
[ He is quite the sight. Eight feet tall, dressed in coveralls that have been zipped down with the arms tied about his waist. A sweaty white t-shirt underneath. He pulls out his phone and texts.]
I have arrived.
no subject
She is small, even for someone fourteen years old. Blue hair. Pale. Ghost-like. A Solosis trails behind her. She hides behind Rei's shoulders. A little shy.
She speaks, when she spots the very tall other.]
I am here.
no subject
That you are. Have you been to Goldenrod? Can you warp?
[Something about her, a familiar strangeness. ]
no subject
[She does not know how these warp pads work, if they will reject her as she has never been to Goldenrod before. But she is certain that there must be some way that she can get there. Like those... Ubirds, they called them, that took her to the shore. So she will wait patiently until things become more clear.]
no subject
[He steps outside of the Pokémon center, shielding his eyes from the sun as he does. He waits for her to follow before releasing his bigger than usual Tropius. It kneels as Hythlodaeus slides onto its back.]
Banania. Her, too. [He speaks softly to his dinosaur and pats his neck. The Tropius turns and takes a mouthful of the back of her shirt and begins to lift her. ]
no subject
But she does, somewhat foolishly, hope that she will be placed onto its back.]
no subject
[Banania wiggles from side to side, situating them and looking like the fat bumblebee he is. He takes off with a few powerful flaps of his leaves, getting them above the average building height.]
It will be several hours like this. Inform me if you require a meal or rest.
Oh, silly me. What is your name?
no subject
I am Rei Ayanami.
no subject
I am Hythlodaeus.
[ He peers at the sticky pal hanging out on her, letting it alone for now. It is hard to hear in all the wind, but there is also so much to see. So much to enjoy about the sensation of flying. Is there really need for words?]
[He is curious and he is patient. Banania is strong and a good flier. He wonders when she will want to be let down.]
no subject
The world is different from up here. Smaller, but more alive. Treetops and office buildings and people between them.]
no subject
Look, down there.
[He points to the ranch, a large lodge with a few stables and barns. Banania had begun his descent, the trees and farmlands growing closer. Dotting the fields were spots of blue fire among the orangey-red.]
[Banania slows, hanging midair for a moment before he lands among his favorite berry bush and goes absolutely goddamn ham on it.]
[Hythlodaeus slides off, taking Rei by the underarms like an unruly cat, setting her on her feet.]
It's just about time for supper, wouldn't you say?
no subject
Are we feeding the pokemon as well?
no subject
[ He looks at her, considering. It will either make sense or it really won't. Seems worth the risk. ]
...I could thaw some ramen broth. I keep it around for my partner, but he doesn't visit as much as he should.
no subject
In the present, she nods.]
Ramen would be good. Though, I would prefer if you did not put any meat in my portion.
[If there was something else she was meant to catch, it has gone over her head.]
no subject
[ He doesn't care either way. In fact, he doesn't eat meat himself. But he finds her curious. He places a hand on her back, slowly walking her into the lodge. Yamask bustle with carts and cleaning rags, wimpods scurry by to clean the floors, and cutieflies float through the air in two and threes to carry towels and other necessities to guests.
Eventually, down the hall, they come to a taller than normal door. Past this threshold, the bustle largely stops. There is also a marked change in the proportion of things. Doorways, counters, chairs... For such a small girl it surely feels a little bit like being Alice. At eight feet tall, he's modified nearly everything for his own height, having grown tired of the inconveniences of this small person's world.]
no subject
[It disagrees with her.
She watches the pokemon as they work as she follows him down the hallway, and whether or not everything is too big for her makes little difference. Everything is kept high, but this is not her home, so it does not bother her to crane her neck up to see various things as they pass. She waits patiently at doorways and the crossroads of the hall, following behind with small, careful steps. Her Solosis follows behind her, bobbing up and down as it tries to keep up.]
no subject
[ He takes out ice cube trays, the kind that makes big whiskey ice cubes and pops them out revealing dark brown broth.]
[He considers her, so small in his enormous kitchen. He had built a stool, a high chair for adults with more dignity in mind. He drags it out from the corner of the room. It's the sort you might see at a high top at a bar, but it looks so incongruous next to the other furniture. ]
He turns back around to fiddle with dinner. It is simple enough. He pulls noodles from the refrigerator— which is distinctly possessed by a Rotom. It watches him as he moves, then watches Rei as it grows bored. He boils water in a pot and a pan, heating the cubes in another. He seems to consider his fourth burner. ]
Would you like an egg? Perhaps some greens?
no subject
Rei, for her part, sits upon the stool, watching the steam rise from above the stove. The air is growing hotter as he cooks. But it is a pleasant sort of heat, so she does not mind it. She finds herself looking around the kitchen and blinking back at the refrigerator, and then at Hythlodaeus as he speaks.]
I do not mind either.
no subject
[ He is not shy about making such a direct observation as he busies himself with the stove. ]
I don't mind it. You remind me a little of someone. It makes me think that you must have a very rich inner life or an incredibly dull one! Only you know which. Well, you and your friend, I suppose. Does it have a nickname?
