Testing Blue's Acacia~

[travelingsandstorm]

[Well, someone got out of her Pokeball when her trainer wasn't looking. This someone also apparently got her hands on an earring that could humanize her. So, now she was happily roaming around the school, taking the sights in. Her brown spiky hair cascaded down her back and resembled the quills of her Pokemon form - a Sandslash.

Humming, she wondered. Whatever shall I do?

Surprise Blue, tease her about boys... check up on Jock, make sure the fire pup was being a good boy... get the latest gossip news and information... Heck, while she was out, maybe she'll even enroll in the school. It was about time she joined in on the fun, yeah?]

[Aw heck. Jolt didn't need to be hit by another Earthquake.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw her. Did she notice him yet? Could he bolt?]

[punchtheflute]

[Yeah! Join in on the fun!

Do you recognize this guy who happens to be eating chips in the quad like a big chip eating pillow of a creature.]

[monotreme_101]

[One of the weirder things about not being a Human at this school was how often people assumed you were a Pokémon. Ever since coming here, Knuckles had been confused for one of the things by several students. Sandslash was one thing that he'd been called before.

Of course, he had no clue that this totally Human person was a Sandslash.

He just knew that she was walking down the hall towards him and he could practice his 'being polite' skills.]

Good morning.

[There. That was easy enough.]

[travelingsandstorm]

[Oh hoh~ Hard not to notice that tuft of brazenly yellow hair. Plus-]

"I could recognize those ears anywhere. Is that you, Jolt?" Nope. She was not letting him get away. Nuh. Uh.

[travelingsandstorm]

[Yep. Totally not hard at all to recognize the big ol' creature with a black hole of a stomach.

Question was, would he recognize her?]

Sonny.

[rivalthunderbolts]

[D'OH!]

"Yeeeeah, it's me," he answered. "And from that hair, I'd say you were Acacia. When'd you get a human form?"

[punchtheflute]

Hello!

[Nope! Not even a little bit!

But he held out his gigantic bag of chips for her to take some anyway. He was super nice like that.]

[travelingsandstorm]

Good morning. [She bounced the greeting back and glanced at the red figure before her. Curious little thing he was. A Pokemon? Some unidentified species?]

I'm Acacia, and you are...?

[monotreme_101]

[Oh. Oh, OK. So that was how it was going to be, huh? An actual conversation? Sure. Fine. He could do that.

Probably.]

Oh. Uh. Hey. I'm Knuckles. Knuckles the Echidna.

[You'll have to excuse him. He's still kind of shy around The Ladies. Not many of them on his Island. In fact, a very round number of them. Zero.]

...it's. Uh. It's nice to meet you.

[travelingsandstorm]

Today. [She said as she slunk an arm around his shoulders.

Goodbye, personal space.]

Sooooo, how are things? Good job recognizing me, by the way. I'm touched.

[travelingsandstorm]

[How cute! A shy creature! The best kind to tease.

But really, what was an Echidna? She'd ask Blue later as she couldn't pass up this opportunity to mess with the opposite gender. Or all genders, actually.

She got down closer to his level.]

It's nice to meet you too! I've never met an Echidna before. Your red color is lovely and you look pretty cool. I'm a Pokemon - a Sandslash. Have you ever met one of me before?

[greased_lightning_cat]

[Meanwhile this Pokemon hadn't taken to a human form yet. Imagine a creature too beautiful and amazing and awesome for his own good trapped in a Pokeball for waaaaaayyyyyyy too long. Like decades kind of long. Funny how those capsules kind of preserve everything inside despite that, but needless to say he has a lot catching up to do.

Like, whoa, these TVs were in color? He's pressing his big lion paws all over one of the TVs in the student lounge.]

But where's the buttons...?

[travelingsandstorm]

[Generous and oblivious as always, wasn't he? Not that she disliked him, she rather found his traits and character adorable. It made her wonder how long it would take for him to realize who she was.]

Thanks! [She happily went in for a chip and munched on it.] So, Sonny, you don't have a human form? I was under the assumption all the Pokemon who attended this school adopted one.

[monotreme_101]

..oh.

[What he meant to say was 'Yeah! Red is awesome!' and 'Thanks for saying I look cool!'.]

Th-thanks. Uh... I never met one before. But there's some people have said I kinda LOOK like one? I... uh. I guess?

[He took a little step back and looked her over.]

I guess you must look pretty different when you're not a Human, huh?

[Because right now he sure couldn't see the resemblance!]

[punchtheflute]

[There was a flash of white light and a POOMF noise and he suddenly was no longer a giant panda creature, but a scruffy boy in casual clothes, sitting there in the grass.]

I have a Human form! I just like to sleep in the sunshine as a Pokémon! My belly is bigger that way so I could get more sunshine!

[He offered her another chip.]

How do you know my name? Are you one of Red's fans? It's nice to meet you! Your hair is really cool!

[Red had a lot of fans. Pokémon league champion and all that.]

[travelingsandstorm]

Welcome! [She looked at his features. Were those quills, or hair?]

I suppose you could look like a Sandslash. [Grinning, she noted how he looked her over and quirked a brow.]

I do. Sure you're not asking just so you could check me out?

[monotreme_101]

[A little of column a, a little of column b.]

Check you out? Huh? Sure. Of course. I mean, I want to know what--OH WAIT!

[Sorry. Took him a moment to catch up with the slang.]

N-not like that! I was just interested! In what a Sandslash looks like! I mean, not in That way...!

[Maybe he should just burrow into the ground and hide until she left? That seemed like a much safer course of action.]

[travelingsandstorm]

[Taking a seat beside him, she giggled and gladly accepted his offer.]

Sure! I'm a fan of Red. [That wasn't a lie. She sincerely did like the boy.] And thanks! Your form suits you just nicely. Adorable as always.

[punchtheflute]

Aww! You're so nice!

[He reached over and gave her a quick one armed hug. She was so sweet!]

If you want? You could tell me your name and I'll get Red to sign something for you! I email him back in Pallet town every week and I bet he would be happy to do something nice for a fan!

[travelingsandstorm]

[She burst out in laughter and laughed so hard she had to hold onto her stomach to keep herself together.

Sorry, Knuckles. That wouldn't work. She'd just transform and burrow into the ground right along with you. There's no escaping her. Not when she's taken a keen interest in you.]

Don't worry. [She almost choked trying to stifle a laugh.] I'm interested in you too.

[She paused for dramatic effect. Would he freak?]

...to see what you look like as a human. You can do that, right? Tell you what. I'll transform if you transform.

[travelingsandstorm]

[Poor guy. One half of Acacia told her to help. The other said to watch and chuckle.

Blue would probably want her to help, so the goodness of Acacia's heart won.]

Here. The buttons are here. [She pointed them out. Even demonstrated what the channel buttons would do by pressing on them.]

[monotreme_101]

[He really wasn't a huge fan of being laughed at. Buuuut, he DID kind of shove his big, colorful boot wearing foot in his mouth, didn't he? He just sort of.... stood there till she was done and wanted to talk again.]

Oh. Nope. I haven't figured that whole.... thing out yet.

[He just hadn't thought it was necessary, really. Not yet, anyway.]

If you don't wanna change, you don't gotta. I didn't mean to sound weird or anythin', you know.

[rivalthunderbolts]

[He could practically feel grounded already hurr.]

Well. The hair was kind of a giveaway. Sometimes I notice things. Things are good! So is Blue letting you out to attend classes?

[greased_lightning_cat]

[Cute babe alert! But the TV is easily just as distracting. That's a young cat's mind, easily dazzled by razzle dazzle. There's buttons, teeny tiny at the back of the TV and of course there's the remote. He gives a low whistle, impressed.]

You're seriously telling me there's more than like five channels? And it's all remote controlled? Crazy. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were a wizard.

...Wizardess. Lady Wizard. Wizbabe.

[travelingsandstorm]

[Hum. So he seemed okay with physical contact. Time to try something else.]

Yup! [She lied. Telling him that she snuck out of her Pokeball when Blue wasn't looking probably wouldn't reflect well on her trainer.

Hmmm, what to do? Since one arm was already around his shoulders, she nonchalantly threw the other one up to link her hands and make a loop around his neck.]

Are classes any fun?
