Ooooh, this is a strange little diary! It's got fancy buttons to type with and everything! Maybe it's one of them fancy laptops?

[Arlo picks up the PokeGear, looking it over. And then he starts typing away on it.]

Hi! I'm Arlo! What are you all doing on this wonderful day? Oh yeah, I'm not an alligator anymore, so that's something new!

[Route 29]

I wish Bertie were here... I'm not really used to traveling on my own. Least I got you, you know?

[Arlo's sitting on a stump with his new Lotad. The Lotad doesn't move, basking in the crisp, cool morning breeze.]

I mean, it's really weird... being brought to a whole new place, being turned into a person, oh yeah, and I think I met my mom? But she wants me to go on an adventure with you. It's kind of overwhelming.

You know what I think we need? A ~song~! How about it, you wanna join in?

Hello, Arlo!
(*⌒▽⌒*)θ～♪
I wasn't an alligator, but I can understand how you feel about new things! I don't have my wings, or my tail, or my horns either! I'm still getting used to it, but apparently that happens quite often here.
(●´ω｀●)ゞ
But I've still been having a lot of fun here~. Back home, I would have decorated my horns and tail with accessories. Since I don't have those anymore, I thought I would dress up my Pokemon instead! So we've all been exploring the town today.
(❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

[ricketybiscuit]

Ohh wings and horns? That sounds amazing! You got the human treatment too? All my scales are gone! My snout is just a normal nose now!

This place seems pretty fun, but I haven't been able to find any of my friends here. It's kinda lonely without them here.

Oh, what are those faces you keep making?

[aromancy]

Yes! It was so nice to have my horns. Short horns have their own charm, but I liked having long ones so that I could do all sorts of things with them!
It's a shame about you missing all your scales and your snout. I bet you looked fantastic with them.
(´•ω•̥`)
I'm missing a lot of my friends as well. However, I've heard that people like us arrive all the time~. So it seems like the two of us might just have to be patient, and we'll be rewarded!
o(〃＾▽＾〃)o
And these are emoticons! I use them just to spruce up my messages, and because it's fun. Do you like them?

[ricketybiscuit]

I bet you could do all kinds of stuff with long horns! And I did like having my scales and snout. Just doesn't feel the same, ya know?

Oh! Then I bet I'll see Bertie soon. Maybe I should wait for her.

Emoticons, huh? Yeah, I really like them!

[aromancy]

I understand what you mean. This place is really exciting and interesting, but it would be moreso if I could go flying! I'd take you with me if I had my wings again~.
♩є(･◇･｡)э
With the Gears, you could probably get in contact with Bertie as soon as she arrives! And if you go exploring a little bit, I bet you could show her all sorts of neat things as her own personal guide~. Is she a friend of yours?
(*●⁰ꈊ⁰●)ﾉ
I'll send you the link to the app I use! It helps bring up all sorts of little emoticons for you to use, or gives you ideas for. It makes it a lot easier to do!

Route 29

[painsplit]

[Lilith happens to be heading down the route as well, with her Murkrow finally in his pokeball - so there's that, at least. She hears Arlo's question before she sees the boy and his partner, and when she does, she stands at a bit of a distance.]

You're going to sing?

[The idea of bursting into song isn't exactly something common on the Boiling Isles.]

[ricketybiscuit]

Yes I am! I loooove singing! Would you like to join me?

[Busting into song is so common for him, he doesn't mind at all roping other people into it.]

[painsplit]

No, that's quite alright... So you sing often, then? Are you a performer?

[ricketybiscuit]

Not a performer! Just someone who likes to sing my feelings! I sing when I'm in a bad mood, a happy mood, a sad mood, or any kind of mood!

What about you? Do you like singing?

[painsplit]

[Lilith smiles despite herself- The singing may strike her as odd for someone not specifically in the Bard Coven, but Arlo's positive energy reminds her a bit of Luz. It's a welcome comparison.]

I haven't sung in quite some time. But I'd be happy to hear you and your Pokemon make music.
