[There's a little grunt, a tilt of the head. Then a blink. Okay...

She's easily distracted by him bringing up her starter. Because she stops, her eyes glinting, puffing herself up. The awkward was being completely forgotten.]

No I found this one. I woke up with- [The gear falls, catching a lovely view of the nearby foliage. A rock wall, Gabi's shin and boot as she shuffled through her pockets. Then the sound of a Pokeball opening.

Then... it's the big boy.

Just a big fuck-off rhino... A rhino with fangs. And Gabi's just there, smirking with her eyes closed. Heck yeah she's proud.]

[ falco seems to know her all too well. he makes a sound when he sees it— this huge (not cart titan huge, or zeke huge, but huge) stone creature that actually looks intimidating! ]

It’s big—! [ and when poppie chirps up, ] I’ve just got this penguin . . . I named her Poppie. Does yours have any names?

[Was it as intimidating when you noticed the little blep? Because he was belpping as he looked at Gabi? What do?

The nickname question takes the wind out of her sails though. Because she hadn't and someone else had already asked. So she blinks, scratching her head. Hesitating for a moment.]

... I called the other one Rocky...

[ falco wasn’t any better at names as of now. “poppie”. or “poppy”, they “-y” ending is the easiest to go to after all, and rocky was . . . well.

they were twelve. give them a break. ]

Rocky and . . . [ stare stare stare— ] —Horny? Because of the horn. Or— Rhyno?

[ someone stop them. ]

[Hmm, considering it.]

He is a Ryhorn, and he learns a lot of moves that use is horn... And the pokedex says the boy ones have bigger horns than the girls. [And so! She pointed at the big boy.] You're Horny now, got it? [The blep increases as he gave a soft grunt. Gabi nodded back, yes good. Then she turned back to Falco... Scowling?]

You're good at this.

[Is he tho?]

[ is that a compliment . . . well, falco seems to take it as one, even if it’s masked behind gabi’s frowning. ]

. . . Thanks. [ he’s definitely not good at this, but he’s gained a tab of confidence. ] I can help with any more that come around. And you can help me.

[ a recipe for disaster, but. ]

[It's a compliment. A very reluctant one. She's salty.]

Okay, that means you have to show me when you catch one.

[Why was she being so forceful about this? ]

—Okay. And if you catch anything else, you can let me know, too.

[ and to keep her on her toes—! ]

If I don’t get there until then.

[HMPH.]

I'll be fighting the gym and going to Azalee Town soon.

[She said the name wrong.]

[ she always gets so carried away. they’ve been through a lot and— ]

How are we supposed to meet if you keep going ahead?

...

[...]

But the league...

[She wants to fite.]

[ oh, don't— don't look at him like that, oh . . . sigh. this place is nothing like home. she's so excited. they're in immediate danger and this is possibly the most exciting thing in her life right now.

as much as falco wants to be with her— he relents the idea. he'd prefer seeing her happy, for once. so he nods, after that moment of thought. ]

Yeah . . . I want to see you win. [ they could celebrate something good together. after the rumbling, it'd be a first. ] I'll catch up with you, then. Wherever you'll be.

[Sorry Falco, but she had long since perfected the look of a kicked puppy that she couldn't stop. Even Magath suffered it, when he was alive. Just those big brown eyes, staring.

Gabi contained herself as he spoke. Waiting until he was done, almost vibrating. Then a few seconds later she jumped, pumping a fist and wooping.]

I have to train so I can win. There's a thing soon.

['A thing' she's not winning. No amount of optimism and training was helping someone with a week of experience win.]
