[The weight of one of the creatures she'd been given by the "Rockets" (Aipom, they said it was) is much heavier than Chuchu, of course, but that didn't stop Anthy from likening them immediately. He sits patiently on one shoulder, his tail draped over the other, as the second creature (Vulpix, she's sure it's called) trots right at her heels. Not that Anthy's moving fast, by the way, she's taking her time walking along the sidewalk, stopping at most of the storefronts to peer into them. Perhaps you've been walking behind her and are getting annoyed with how slow she's been, and how, by coincidence, there's been no way to get around her. Or maybe you're in the store she's looking into, and you lock eyes with her - if so, she gives you a smile and a wave. Either way, you run into this strange, quiet young lady. What do?]

[There's a slow panning shot of a bushy part of the park, where not a lot of people go rooting around for bug Pokemon in, and a soft gasp can be heard when the feed stops on a bush in bloom. The quiet crunch of light footsteps on winter grass brings the view closer, and a hand appears to tilt up a white flower.]
Oh...this is hellebore, isn't it?
[The voice is even, and the words inflected like they should be disappointed, but the tone is more of vague surprise.]
I had hoped it was a rose...but it's not quite time for a real rose to bloom, is it? [The hand strays to another flower, not yet open.] I'm surprised they let these grow in a public park. Hellebore is supposed to be poisonous...hm?
[The hand has strayed from the flowers to an odd, light green bulb, lighter in color than the surrounding foliage. With the care of someone who has spent time working with delicate flowers, the hand goes to cup the side of the bulb, only for it to push forward, a Budew emerging.]
Oh - !
[The Poke'gear falls to the ground in a clatter, turning off as it catches a glimpse of Anthy's wide-eyed, genuinely surprised expression.]
