Chris is exploring the area when they see the odd sight of someone who clearly doesn't know what season it is chewing on their...whatchamacallit. They would walk the other way, but maybe this person knows something they don't?

"Iiiiii don't think that's food..."Chris says hesitantly.

Catrina looks up at Chris, still getting used to this whole being human deal as she stops (for now) chewing on that poor defenseless PokeGear that is sporting some pretty good teeth dents from it.

"That's just how I cope! I woke up with five digit hands today with some weird human claiming to be my Mom!" Catrina is certainly having a time with this...I think some of the paint from the PokeGear is caught in her teeth though...

[charmingpaint]

"Yeeeah, that lady was weird, huh?" Chris said. Their brand new Shroodle sitting on their shoulder nods. "So, ya weren't human before comin' here?"

Chris makes a mental note about that. They weren't necessarily upset about showing up in a new world, but it is definitely a bit confusing. They weren't sure how they felt about this oddball, but this was the first person who was also taken that they ran into. And, well, beggars can't be choosers.

"The name's Chris by the way."

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Right!? I think the human is feral or something!" Catrina you are the last person to make that comment about being feral, "I used to be ocean blue and had a hand tail before all this human business came along!"

Yeah...she certainly wasn't a human beforehand. Catrina was having a bit of a weird reaction to suddenly being a human being along with the dread suddenly having to be warm blooded (cold blooded be wild). However, Catrina is absolutely going to be accepting Chris as her first friend in this new world.

"I'm Catrina Calavera, it's great to meet yah Chris!"

[charmingpaint]

Chris laughs, "Yeah, I bet she is!"

"Nice ta meet cha, Cat. Hope we can figure out what's going on soon, yeah?" They grin. A thought seems to come to them and they bounce on their toes. "You got a creature too, right? Mine is this little guy!" They point to the Shroodle on their shoulder," What did you get?"

[gimmeeyeballs]

Catrina laughs along, then again, this whole situation is very surreal to this gremlin, "I wouldn't be surprised if she's done this before to others."

After hearing that, Catrina get the Pokeball out and brings out her absolute questionable garbage monster of greasiness, Gyrtrash the Hisuian Zorua, "This is my gremlin, Gytrash Gurt-Dog. I think that weird human found this little guy dumpster diving before handing him over to me. Upside, he'll be a hard one to grip during battles."

[charmingpaint]

"Well, if she's done it to you and me, she probably has done it to other people. Concerning."

"He's kinda cute? In a weird, gremlin-y sorta way," Chris responds, tilting their head at the Pokemon. Their Shroodle squeaks indignantly. "Not as cute as you though, Doodle."

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Damn, think the police are investigating her then? I mean this should count for abduction or something!" Catrina was ready to not have this weird claiming to be Mom anywhere near her.

Gytrash is bordering that ugly sort of cute balance, kinda like a pug as the Danny DeVito's Garbage Man Pokemon snorts right at Doodle.

"Right? I'm gonna see if I can get this guy to the groomers or something though." Catrina admitted, I mean who wouldn't agree that Zorua is kinda gross.

[charmingpaint]

"I don't know. Seems like everyone here's pretty used to her," Chris replied, shrugging their shoulders. It's a weird situation, but Chris has a feeling that that Mom isn't doing the abducting.

"It's probably a good idea. He does look like he could use it," They chuckle, glad to have not been the one to bring it up. Doodle scrunches up its face and tucks closer to Chris' neck.

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Weird, maybe she's like the neighborhood mascot or something?" Catrina shrugs too, still not feeling any empathy for who is likely an accomplice to kidnapping an amphibian opera diva.

Gytrash makes a really guttural hissing sound at the mention of the groomers. Catrina goes to pick up her grody garbage lord of a Pokemon (She's going to be needing a bath after handling Gytrash) as she looks over to Chris.

"Yeah..maybe a muzzle so he doesn't like try and take a bite out of the groomer holy shit."

[charmingpaint]

"Maaaybe,"Chris really isn't sure," But, whatever, we're here, right? We should make the most of it!"

Both Chris and Doodle flinch away at the hissing.

"Yeah, a muzzle may be best..."

[gimmeeyeballs]

"True, best to just improvise what we got here, like on the stage." Catrina agreed, yep, time to go back to her original barding ways.

Catrina looks at her horrific little Danny DeVito Pokemon, clearly Gytrash was likely still a tad feral like Catrina herself.

"Damn..yeah back into the PokeBall with you my little Garbage Warlord."
