Lance, Pidge, Allura, Keith... [He can't stop smiling, while he says it. Because it's good to see Hunk. It's really good.] We missed you, buddy.

[Which is probably going to need more explanation, too. A lot more explanation. Since it's been so long for them. Probably only ... well. Two weeks. For Hunk.] I can explain once we get this taken care of for you. Is the little guy yours?

[He'll just let Hunk have a seat. If he's been hiking that long, it's the least he can do. Especially while Nebula - his Umbreon - goes to sniff out the Geodude.]

[ironchef]

No. There was a rescue around here that takes in pokemon that come from bad situations? Well, he got out. Spooked by something maybe. And I agreed to go look for him, but I didn't know exactly what a Geodude looked like. I just remembered what the Graveller looked like and, I dunno, I expected legs. And there wasn't legs. And then I yelled when I saw it and he ran and now he's here and I'm here.

Anywaya, yup. Name is Charlie. Pretty skittish. Doesn't seem aggressive. [So that's the sitrep.]

I mean, even if I can't get him out, I don't want to lose track of him. The rescuers were really worried.

[shiro2hero]

[Oh, Hunk. You poor guy. Shiro shakes his head, unable to keep the smile off his face.]

Yeah, Geodudes don't have legs. There's actually a lot of pokemon that don't have legs. Or arms, some of them. They're really varied.

[He crouches down on his heels, peering into the brush. Nebula's pulsing yellow circles visible in the greenery. She's busily sniffing after the missing Geodude, trilling gently as she can.]

His name's Charlie, Nebula. [An answering yip.] She's on it. If nothing else, she can get through the bushes better than we can.

[ironchef]

I've seen a few like that. Though most of them look like flowers or like an octopus or something so it's less like a rock head with ear arms. [He lowers his voice towards the end, like he's worried the Geodude will overhear him and decide not to come out ever, as he might be embarrassed to be a rock head with ear arms.]

[Hunk does his best with the types! It just takes a while to get the hang of a whole new lifestyle and swallow great swathes of information. Like every evolution of a pokemon. Though, fully against his credit, he should have learned that one early.]

She is a lot smaller. Especially compared to me. [And underneath the porch over there which Hunk is very sure he can't fit under. Even if he were to lose all his girth at once he still has his dad's shoulders.]

I'm glad you showed up. You've always been really good about getting situations under control.

[shiro2hero]

Hunk, I've got bad news... it gets weirder than Geodudes. Remind me to show you the floating ice cream cones.

[He's teasing a bit, but it's true. Hunk there are sentient ice creams and trash bags here. It's insane sometimes. You get used to it, but it's insane. He wouldn't blame anyone for needing time to adjust and understand this place.]

She used to be even smaller, if you can believe that. [It's okay, Hunk, Shiro's pretty sure he can't fit under a porch either.] Fit in my hands, when I got her.

[A tiny little Eevee now a big strong Umbreon.]

The feeling's mutual, really. We've all missed you. [He hesitates a minute, before he adds:] Time is weird here. Years for us is no time at all back home - I've been here for... wow, has to be five or six years now.
