Another red headed teen is hanging out on a path, play-fighting with his Pokemon. At least he's been polite enough to not do it in the middle of the road, but there's still times when he ends up in the way of the path and has to sheepishly apologise to who-ever's passing by. The Pokemon in question are a Zoroark and an Umbreon, with blue markings instead of yellow ones, who playfully jumped up and tugged on his trousers. The Zoroark, being larger, was able to grab him around the middle. As they Ceilidh approached, she'd hear something a bit unusual in this world; Ash was using Irish to talk with his Pokemon.

The end result was Ash on his face right in front of Ceilidh, Zoroark on his back and Umbreon laughing and papping at his head. "Ow."

Grinning widely, Ceilidh leaned forward on her stick at the teenager on the ground in front of her. The grin is a bit larger than normal because there's another Eireman around. The bit of it twinged some homesickness, but the familiarity helped with the homesickness at the same time.

She Who Devours The Darkness In People's Souls lands next to his head and croaks out, "Hello Poopy Head!" in Irish Gaelic.

Ceilidh totally didn't teach her pokemon who can mimic words how to say that. Not at all.

Anyone who says that is a dirty, dirty, dirty liar.

With a pure County Cork accent Ceilidh said, "It's not necessary to bow to me. It's my cousins who are royalty, not me."

[rambling_runner]

Ash's accent was a little bit more complicated than Ceilidhs. He was born in London and raised by a man with a clear Donegal accent, so his was a mix. At home, the Irish was stronger as it was how people talked in the house he'd grown up in. Around fellow Londoners, his accent was more English. Here in Johto, it had settled somewhere between; some words sounded far stronger one way than the other.

"That's good, given I don't bow to royalty." He answered her also in Irish as he picked himself up with a smile, dusting off his clothes. The Zoroark watched Ceilidh and 'the-Murkrow-with-the-too-long-name-so-fuck-that' carefully, hovering by his side protectively. The Umbreon was more friendly, twitching his ears. "Man, I haven't heard anyone else speaking Irish since I got here! I'm Ash."

[queen_stabbity]

The Murkrow with the too long name so fuck that is also called "Pickles". Don't ask. It's just one of the mysteries of how Ceilidh's mind works.

Shoe laces also look interesting. Pickles is pondering tugging them.

"Neither do I." Smugness there. The accent is interesting and she starts listening to it intently as she collects accents. It's something she learned how to do from her Uncle Rory. Though she understands her words two stick out to her. One is the name Ash. She knows an Ash and he's not a nice guy. Down right evil actually. Fortunately this Ash looks absolutely nothing like the Ash at home.

The second one is the word "Irish". While they're both speaking the same language they've not got the same name. "Irish?" she asked. "Eire?"

[rambling_runner]

"Gaeilge?" He tried, frowning. That's the Irish term for it, in Irish, which he had been using. Eire meant 'Ireland', not the language or it's people.

[queen_stabbity]

"Gaelic?" She shook her head and held up her hand to clarify. "I've never heard of Gaelic called 'Irish' before. Are you from Eire?"

Because maybe he's from somewhere that calls the language something else.

"Oh. And I'm Ceilidh McCallum and this is She Who Devours The Darkness In People's Souls. But you can also call her Pickles." The name is said with one hundred percent seriousness. This is not a joke name. It is a serious name that she put serious thought into. She originally was going to add "Princess" to the name but decided against it.

Pickles croaks and says, "Hello Poopy head!" again.
