[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] FLORETTE ! "Flint."

[/b] Florette was sitting in the grass, twirling he blonde hair around her finger slowly. The grazing deer Pokemon raised his head to look at his doting trainer. He gave a soft grunt to let her know he was listening. "It's such a beautiful day isn't it."[/b] She turned her gaze to face the majestic looking beast. Flint was a handsome creature. A thick neck, wide barrel, strong legs, and an elegant pair of antlers. His antlers had small cherry blossoms growing out of them. He gave another grunt and resumed grazing. The rest of Florette's Pokemon were scattered around the lake in various spots.

Jorden was laying directly next to the water's edge, one of her hind legs dangling into the crystal water. The Meganium was humming lightly, bobbing her head gently back and forth. Eldon was up a tree, laying on a low hanging branch. As per usual he was glaring at the other members of his team, his leaf shaped ears pinned flat against his head. At the base of that same tree sat Edgar. Despite Jorden being a bit far away, Edgar was singing along with her gentle hums. "Shroomish, shrooo. Shroomish, shroomish, shrooooooo!" The singing caught the attention of Banna, the nurturing boy of the group. He was moving slowly across the grass carrying a branch with a few Pecha berries hanging from it. Banna reached the Shroomish and held the branch down so Edgar could take a break from singing and have lunch.

Last but not least was Toki. The young Stantler was standing ankle deep in the clear water, taking slow and gentle sips. Florette raised her gaze to focus on the Stantler. Toki was growing up to be a great Pokemon. And so was Edgar. She reached into the bag at her side, withdrawing a pencil and sketchpad. She began to draw the elegant creature that was drinking from the lake. As she began to draw him she found herself humming along with Jorden's tune.[/blockquote]

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] RYAN MITCHELL ! Jet looked to his trainer, giving a challenging grin as they walked through the grass that led to the lake. Ry's eyes lifted from the ground as he watched his feet, glancing up at his partner. "Y-yes, Jet?"

[/color] The Floatzel let out a few barks and grinned at him, pointing towards the lake that wasn't too far ahead. He wanted to go swimming, apparently. Who was Ryan to refuse such a request? Grinning, Ryan scratched at his cheek and gave a soft nod, following the now extremely energetic pokemon toward the clear pond. Jet looked behind him and barked for a moment, willing the man to run a little. Ry laughed and shook his head for a moment before sighing. Hang onto your hats... He grabbed onto his cap and ran after his otter, stumbling a little and giving out a happy laugh. Jet looked behind him and then turned around, spraying a Water Gun at at the ground and pushed himself back a few yards, barking again.

"N-no f-fair, Jet, y-you c-can't use w-water to p-propel forward!"[/color] he cried out in mock indignation. Jet pulled down his eyelid and stuck his tongue out at him playfully before whirling around and jumping into the cool water of the lake. The splash was large, making Ryan squeak and cover his eyes to shield them from the water droplets. He turned and took off his hat, running a pale hand through black hair before looking to his left.

There sat Florette, one of his old friends from when he was younger. It had been so long ago since he had last seen her, but he still recognized her pretty face and blond hair. His eyes widened before he let out an excited sounding squeak. "F-Florettte!"[/color] he called, giving a shy wave and walking towards her. His eyes were glued to the floor as he approached, his usual shy personality once again emerging. Chewing on his bottom lip, he grinned softly and scratched at the back of his neck. "I-it's b-been so l-long, cherie, h-how a-are you?"[/color] He took a fast glance at her notebook, grinning stupidly once more. "S-still drawing... ah, i-it looks w-wonderful..."[/color] His eyes suddenly widened before he quickly looked away, hunching his shoulders a little. "I-I'm s-sorry... if y-you d-didn't me-mean for m-me to look, it just -- "[/color]

As he stammered, Jet surfaced near Toki and gave a playful bark, swimming away from the lag and bobbing around like a buoy in the water.

[FLORETTE MANNING]

[atrb=width,30px][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0px,true][atrb=cellspacing,0px,true][atrb=background,http://i51.tinypic.com/jkyq39.png,true]

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] FLORETTE ! Florette was so busy working on her sketch of Toki she was completely oblivious to the approaching ranger and his Floatzel. The only one to really notice them was Flint. The majestic steed lifted his delicate head and snorted blowing hot air out his nostrils. His short fluff of a tail went straight up as he stared at the oncoming group. He went rigid, his entire body still as he observed. The next to notice them was Jorden. She had still been humming when the Floatzel jumped into the water creating a large splash. Water poured down on the Meganium. She scared herself and went tumbling into the water. Florette heard a voice and looked up slowly, her bright blue eyes attempting to focus. "Oh my Arceus! Is that really you Ryan?!" She set her sketchpad down quickly and jumped up. Despite Ryan's fear of physical contact she gave him a big hug. "Goodness, how are you. I heard you're a Ranger Admin now! And...that can't possibly be Jet! I remember when he was just a Buizel and you got him as your partner! I'm sure you remember Flint." She said cheerfully, gesturing to the now relaxed buck who had gone back to grazing. "He's not a little Shikijika anymore. I was just about to get lunch ready for everyone, you are more than welcome to stay. Oh, yes. Of course I'm still drawing. Keeps me sane."

[/b]

Toki was still drinking like he hadn't had a drink in years. His loud gulping filling his small ears and preventing him from hearing Jet's splash, or Jorden's for that matter. The sharp bark, he did hear. The Stantler's head flew up like a Zubat out of hell. His hind end bunched up beneath him and he prepared to take off. Galloping full speed out of the water, the liquid splashing in every direction. He reached Florette and shoved his head into her arms for reassurance that the sea monster wouldn't get him. "Oh!" She squeaked slightly in surprise before stroking the Stantler's neck and make a soothing noise. "And this little man here is Toki."[/blockquote]

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] RYAN MITCHELL ! The racket behind him made Ryan turn, sighing in exasperation as Florette's Meganium went toppling into the water. He frowned and shook his head, looking back at her in apology. "Je-Jet d-doesn't really u-understand the me-meaning of s-space y-yet. H-he's still r-rowdy,"

[/color] he explained sheepishly, debating whether or not he should go and see if her grass type was okay. However, Flo didn't seem to be too bothered by it, instead stepping up immediately with a shocked expression. The hug was surprising but welcomed, and after Ryan's squeak and stiffening of his body, he awkwardly gave her one back. He really wasn't used to being touched, but it was just a hug. It wasn't his mother trying to kill him. Just a hug.

She still talked as she parted from him, distracting himself from his musings. He laughed sheepishly and felt the heat rise to his face. "Ahah! I-it's a lot of w-work, b-but Jet a-and I c-can handle it. A-and I h-hear you're a Gym Leader! I kn-knew y-you'd g-go far a-as a trainer. Oh...!"[/color] He turned his head to look at the graceful buck, grinning widely. "H-he's beautiful! Oh, I l-love how th-they change w-with the seasons, i-it's so pretty..."[/color] he fawned, his eyes dancing as he watched the majestic pokemon continue with his grazing.

Suddenly, a galloping sound made Ryan whirl around, only to be met with a stampeding Stantler. He quickly moved out of the way so the scared creature could move to his trainer. "W-what h-happened? I-is he a-all right?"[/color] he cooed. He looked so startled... Ry immediately frowned and looked back at a sheepish Jet, still bobbing up and down in the water. The orange otter gave a nervous laugh, grinning and waving hesitantly. "Jet! I th-thought I t-taught y-you better ma-manners th-than that."[/color] His scold sounded harsh, and Jet sank into the water for a few moments out of embarrassment. Ry shook his head and waited for Jet to resurface and walk out of the water before turning back to Florette. "M-my apologies, h-he hasn't been o-out in a r-real lake in a w-while."[/color]
