Route 29

[loveisadagger]

[To learn more about this world, Loki had to travel around as much as he could. Especially if he wanted to be familiar with how pokemon were like as well as how others treat them. Even if he was part of this crime syndicate, he knew observing and adapting was the best way.

Curiously, Loki heard a lot of noise coming from a nearby area. Coming closer he saw a young girl practically surrounded by all sorts of pokemon. How in the world did she get them so close to her? Loki placed his hands on his hips as gazed for a bit, before deciding to speak.]

My my... Seems you have many friends there with you, that's quite impressive.

[shiningkindness]

[ She squeaks in surprise, causing the Pokémon around her to startle as well. Some scatter, others hide behind her, but her Audino steps up to stand beside her as she glances up. ]

O-Oh, um...th-thank you.

[loveisadagger]

[Holding up hands, at least trying to seem like he comes in peace to these pokemon who all ran behind her. Loki gave an curious tilt of his head.]

Ah, seems I've frighten the lot, apologies...

How did you manage to get all their trust though, I must ask?

[shiningkindness]

O-Oh, um…it’s okay. [ Glancing around her, she gently coaxes the Pokémon to come out from behind her. ]

A-Actually, they were the ones who…came to check on me, and see if I was all right. I-I just got here, you see, and was feeling really frightened. S-So they came up and talked with me a while, t-to help me feel better.

[loveisadagger]

[Loki's eyes widen a bit in surprise. She must be some incredible empath to have these pokemon come to her, or something quite charming about her. She does seem sweet, but he doesn't know enough to determine more than that. He gave a small chuckle in amusement.]

Well, pokemon are quite intelligent creatures... Perhaps they really did pick up on your distress.

[Relaxing shoulders and as leaned a little lower to make himself seem more open to approach, placing his hands in his pockets to seem more natural as well.]

What has you so frightened? Is it just coming to this new world?

[shiningkindness]

[ She smiles, nodding a little. ]

They really are! They remind me of the animals back home, except these have special powers.

[ Some of the Pokémon that had fled are slowly stating to return, and Fluttershy holds out her hands out for some of the bird Pokémon to land on. ]

W-Well, sort of…Being in a new world is a bit frightening, but it’s not the first time it’s happened to me. I-It’s just…usually when something happens, I’m also with my friends from home. B-But they don’t seem to be here.

[loveisadagger]

We have quite an array of interesting creatures on Asgard and I've encountered many more outside our plane. So I know some that are a little similar, Aragorn were winged horses that the Valkries would ride to battle. They are quite majestic like some of these pokemon can appear to be as well as exhibiting some power.

[Loki watched in observation as some of the pokemon who retreated made their return. The corners of lips now curved in a curious smile. Interested to see someone like her could lure them with ease out. Then as she explained why she was a bit scared he gave a small sigh.]

Oh I see...

[Admittedly, Loki couldn't say much on that matter, he was used to being alone and relying mostly on himself. But back at his time with the TVA, made him a miss a couple of actual real friends he thought he had. He cleared his throat, looking down, trying to hide his face on the sad subject.]

Yes I, I can understand wanting to see them again and, I hope you do soon... You don't have to be afraid though, there are plenty of people here that will be nice to you in the meantime I'm sure.

[Gestures to the pokemon.]

Seems it doesn't take much time for that too.

[shiningkindness]

Winged horses? Like a Pegasus?

[ She perked up a little at the thought, but she sober up again when he talks about other people. ]

O-Oh…yes, I’m sure the people here are very nice. I-I…just sometimes have a bit of trouble talking to…people.

[loveisadagger]

Mm yes, I believe Midgardians called them by that name too.

[Gazes a bit softer in sympathy.]

Well, we're talking, that's a good start so far... I'm Luka, an entrepreneur to this new world of ours, may have your acquaintance?

[shiningkindness]

[ She debates on mentioning that she’s been a Pegasus once, but decides not to. It might sound too weird. ]

Y-Yeah…that’s true. [ She does manage a small smile. ] M-My name is…Fluttershy. It’s nice to meet you.

S-So…are you not from this world either?

[loveisadagger]

The pleasure is all mine, Fluttershy.

[Gives a gentleman like bow for her before giving a nod at her question.]

I'm from a world called Asgard, but I've had my own experience from transporting between different places and planets. Timelines as well... It's complicated, let's just say the last place I was at were trying to maintain that sacred timeline.

[Ofcourse it's all gone haywire, which may explain how he got here instead.]

... It's a bit more peaceful here compared to other places, I'll admit.

[shiningkindness]

O-Oh wow…that sounds like a big responsibility, maintaining the timeline.

[ And complicated, from what she knows about time travel. ]

[loveisadagger]

[Nods as he gave a sigh.]

Yes, my friend Mobius had most of the responsibility there on his shoulders. I mostly came along to help him.

[Not that he will go into details why, but it's nice to give a bit of reminiscence. Looks to the side in his own thoughts, as he took in a breath. Trying to hide his own emotions on it, pretending to look at some of the pokemon that surrounded her.]

He'll be alright...

[shiningkindness]

[ She frowns in concern as she watches him, understanding missing and worrying about friends. Thinking for a moment, she holds her hand out to some of the Pokémon, and when one of the Pikipeks perches on her finger she whispers something to it.

Then the Pikipek gives a little cry before flapping its wings, lifting into the air long enough to land onto Loki’s shoulder. ]

[loveisadagger]

[Loki lifted his head up as he heard the little chirp watching it as it landed on his shoulders. He looked confused at first, he never had something approach him like this before... It's really sweet, sort of reminded him of his mother showing him a bit of magic when he was a child. There a bit of light in his eyes as he couldn't help but give a real smile. Gently reaching to pet the Pikipek.]

... Thank you, that was very kind.

[shiningkindness]

[ She smiles, gently ushering the Pokémon off her lap so she can get to her feet. ]

Animals always cheer me up, so I thought it could help.

[loveisadagger]

[Gazing with a bit more sincerity than before, Loki gave a soft chuckle.]

A simple gesture from something kind does feel nice.

[It was honestly hard for him to trust it sometimes, but... She seemed like someone who wouldn't lie about this sort of thing. He reached to curve his finger to let Pikipek climb onto his hand as he used the other to gently pet it more.]

I must admit it's been a while... If I had my magic back I could... Oh, actually-!

[Placing the Pikipek back on his shoulder he took out one of his pokeballs, letting out Impidimp. As he gave it a nod, it grinned wide letting out a playful noise and made a sparkly jump in the air. Using it's Dazzling_Gleam in performance. Sparkles shining around it like a little firework.]

[shiningkindness]

[ Her eyes widen a bit when his Impidimp comes out of the Pokéball, curious about this new creature. But when it jumps into the air and uses Dazzling Gleam, she smiles in awe. ]

Oh wow…! That’s amazing!

[loveisadagger]

[Gives a warm chuckle, holding out his hand to high five Impidimp who gave a leap happily for him. Loki gazed back to Fluttershy with a nod.]

A well deserved gesture for such a kind young lady.

[shiningkindness]

[ She smiles shyly, but her usual timidness is quickly replaced as she looks at the Impidimp. ]

Is that your partner?

[loveisadagger]

My second one yes, he's just as playful as my first one, bit of a pattern. Here...

[Letting out his other friend, Zorua, who giggles up at Fluttershy. Wagging her tail and begin to play tag with Impidimp right away. Seems the two love each others company.]

They're quite wonderful, am glad they're mine.

[shiningkindness]

[ Her smile widens when the Zorua appears. ]

Oh wow! You have two?

[loveisadagger]

Mmhm, it seems you can capture more in this world as your journey goes. Soon you'll have more than one too.

[Gestures to the others she made friends with while his pokemon try to entice the others to play with them.]

Very soon, I imagine.

[shiningkindness]

[ She nods. ] Oh yes…I did hear about being able to capture more. It…doesn’t sound very nice, but as long as they’re okay with it I guess it’s fine.

[ She wishes there was a better word than capture, though. ]

[loveisadagger]

[Curiously looks toward her at that remark. It was quite endearing to see such a young lady care about creatures like these so. He gave a small smile.]

Well, considering they like the idea of battling each other too, I guess they are pretty relaxed to most things. But I am glad they feel compelled to please for their partner. It shows the respect is earned back, if you think about it.
