Vrrt, Vrrt [Morgan/done!]

[Deleted]

Nitrine was in the little laundry room of his home, folding warm towels and rags that had come fresh from the dryer. Beside him, the washer hummed and drummed with activity for the next load. As he folded his laundry, he thought about his first rancher friend on the island. Morgan. It had been a very long time since they'd spoken to each other.

Tossing a kitchen towel into the basket, he pulled out his phone and looked through his contacts to find her name. He sent a text:

To: Morgan Porter

Hey, Morgan! It's Nitrine. long time no talk! How have you been? How's life in the mountains? Are your Pokemon doing well? and your ranch?

Tagging Morgan Porter . The paragraphs above the actual text was more for exposition because I didn't want Nitrine to be in a no-man's-land doing nobody-cares; don't feel obligated to write something like that if you don't want to, especially not for every post (I sure as heck won't). And I figured if they want to actually switch from texting to a phone call later, that works too, if you want.

How exactly did the capsule kit work?

Morgan was sure she was going to burn holes into the manual of the kit in her attempt to comprehend how one used the machine to turn apricorns into pokeballs. According to the little pamphlet, she could get some Fast Balls and a couple of Heavy Balls, but she wasn't quite sure how...

Her phone rattled against the table as it buzzed with a text message, making her jump. With a deep breath, Morgan glanced at her cell and smiled to herself at seeing who the text was from. After a quick read, Morgan replied:

Hello yourself! Been doing well, thanks, and I hope you are too! It's quiet around here & I'm trying not to be suspicious. Recently got a new Pokemon, a Klefki I'm calling Locke. She's part Fairy, do you know anything about them? What about you, any new Pokemon?

Tags: @aeranautics, I took WAY too long in trying to figure out how you did the nifty little text bubble before realizing it was the quote setting. xD

Morgan's reply came while he was putting the towels away. Once he'd finished his chore, Nitrine flopped down on the couch to answer it.

To: Morgan Porter

I mean, quiet is good if you don't like too many visitors. unless you mean... your Pokemon have either snuck off or are causing trouble somewhere around your ranch! xD oh boy, mine have a habit of wandering off, too, let me tell you!
Klefki? I've never heard of it, actually, but if she's a Fairy-type, i bet she's cute! I recently adopted a female Sentret from the adoption center and named her Ginger, since Oxana was the only female out of my bunch for a long time.

I did a quick internet search on Klefki. They collect keys and will intimidate their opponents by jingling their key collection. But really, who is afraid of keys? :P

Morgan had retreated to the kitchen to get herself a cup of tea to enjoy while scouring the capsule kit manual. Her phone buzzing with another text message from Nitrine was a welcome distraction, and she replied within a few minutes.

I meant the latter. I had passed by Luci, who seems calm, so I'm not too worried. I trust that she'd let me know if anyone else was causing trouble!
Oh, I'm sure Ginger is adorable! Does Oxana enjoy having another around for girl time? Can't wait to meet her! Perhaps soon you guys can come around and you can meet Locke too.
I admit, jingling keys doesn't sound very intimidating to me, but perhaps there are Pokemon out there that dislike the sound? Or maybe there are species that are just very sensitive with their hearing?

Luci, she's your... Solosis, right? had to take a moment to remember, i don't think her kind is native to Sinnoh. Haha, that's good that someone TELLS you things. Just the other day, DJ and Kellen wandered off to someone else's ranch and Oxana didn't say anything to me! 8O
Oxana isn't quite sure what to think, especially since Ginger is still pretty young. I'm sure they'll warm up to each other eventually. I bet xana and my older two boys are happy that Cole has someone small to play with now.
Man, we really do need to get together sometime. I'd love to meet Locke! Maybe we can go exploring and find some wild pokemon to battle or just head into town and enjoy the park. I walk by it all the time when I go to get groceries but i haven't been there yet.
That's a good point. I'm sure plenty of Pokemon have sensitive hearing. I know Oxana can hear when someone's coming to the door before they even knock. Kellen is showing shades of it too, so maybe they'd be, not afraid of jangle keys, but repelled.

Tags: Morgan Porter
maybe plotting, whee~

[Deleted]

That's right, my Solosis. Well, I'm HOPING that Luci would tell me if something was up. She seems to be the most mature of my lot.
Cole is your little Zorua, right? Never imagined you having a Dark-type running around with your Fairies, . They seem to be a bit opposite, type-wise. How is the Zorua? I used to see some around Unova, but never really interacted with one.
We do need to catch up. Apparently we each got more family members for the other to meet! The park's not a bad idea. At the very least, it'll let our Pokemon burn off some energy, especially if we go earlier in the day...

Lifting his head, Nitrine looked out of one of the living room windows. It was still the middle of the afternoon, but he knew it would be getting dark in just a few hours. Not today, obviously.

To: Morgan Porter

Luci is a Psychic-type, right? What is it like having Psychic-type Pokemon? Kurt, the guy who helps out at the office, he came by and mentioned a Psychic-type Pokemon of his told him when a clutch of eggs he had were going to hatch. I know you also have your Meditite, Horos, but they generally seemed more Fighting-type to me.
You're on the money! Idk what I was expecing when I picked out that Dusk Ball that one time. Something ironic? ^^; Cole IS kind of naughty, i will admit, but then again so is Kellen and DJ. i've heard plenty of flack about Dark-types and childhood experience tells me they're not very nice. I guess i still have a lot to learn, and Cole has a lot to teach me.
Right? Maybe not tomorrow since I need to get errands done, but we'll see within the next couple of days!

I'm fairly used to Psychic-types, but I think they're the type that's most like humans, I guess. That probably sounds a bit offensive to other types & I really don't mean it that way. Psychics just have the highest ability to communicate with us outside of their own language, you know? Vivi & Luci are the closest to figuring out telepathy with me. Every once in a while, I'll hear a snatch of their voices in my head. It's odd right now, but nothing that I haven't known about before from home.
I suppose any type can get flack. Fires are reckless, Poison can be dangerous, Rock and Ground too strong for their own good... Just got to take them one Pokemon at a time.
I'm looking forward to seeing you at the park! We'll pick a time soon!

To: Morgan Porter

Wow, having a psychic type must be pretty strange, particularly for someone who isn't used to it. But it must be really easy to be able to have your pokemon just talk to you like that. For me and my pokemon, it's sort of like a guessing game mixed with charades. They grunt and whine and make gestures, and i can generally understand what they're saying. Mostly Oxana and Kellen, though i'm also figuring out Ginger pretty quickly, too.
Yeah I guess you're right about that. Anyway, Cole might be naughty but he's not bad. Just wait till you and the rest of your crew meet him, and the rest of my Pokemon!
Just out of curiosity, are there any pokemon in particular that you would just love to own and have on your ranch someday?

Tags: Morgan Porter

[Deleted]

You would think so, but I think it also mostly depends on the species and personality of the Pokemon. Had a neighbor back in Icirrus City with a Musharna who kept to herself. Unless she had coffee. Then she didn't stop talking for a couple of hours!
That's a loaded question, . I think I would love to see a Glaceon and/or Espeon running around. I hear the Eevee family make great companions, but I haven't really known any myself. Cubchoo are cute and I think Froslass are interesting as well. Have you visited the Adoption Center's site lately? There's a Magnemite I'm interested in, but I don't have enough experience to adopt it. Not yet, anyway. What about you?

To: Morgan Porter

Haha, that sounds hilarious! I'd hate to be the guy to have to be around listening to that! I always thought food for people was bad for Pokemon, but I guess it depends on what food and what Pokemon. My friends from school sometimes fed chocolate and table scraps to their pets, but my dad was in charge of feeding the two Pokemon he kept and their diets were really strict.
I haven't looked on the Adoption website in a bit, but as far as new Pokemon for my ranch, I'm definitely hoping to get my hands on an Eevee. Have you ever seen pics of Sylveon? it's super cute and I can't wait to be able to train one! And just the other day I was thinking about maybe finding a female Staravia or something for DJ. Staraptor are really powerful, I found out recently.

Tags: Morgan Porter, you want to wrap this up soon? This thread has been good for development but I'm running out of stuff to say, heh.

[Deleted]

Really? I think I'd find it interesting to hear what a Pokemon high on caffeine thought, . I think Pokemon food is best for Pokemon, but I guess it depends on the species and biology, especially since some Pokemon are considered part of the "human-like" egg group, you know? I have certain food for my team, but sometimes I give them a little treat.
I haven't seen a Sylveon before, but I'll look it up in a few minutes! I'm sure Kris can help you find someone who can connect you with an Eevee egg. She seems to know lots of people and Pokemon. I've heard of the Staraptor line, but haven't had any contact with them myself. I'm sure she'll be a wonderful addition to your team!
I think I'll have to talk to you later, perhaps with a tentative park date. Oria is nudging my leg, letting me know that it's about dinnertime. I'll see you later!

Tags: sure @aeranautics, especially since I've taken a couple of weeks to reply to this. Sorry about that! We can end it with my response, or you can respond another time, if you'd like.
