[Jean is visiting Goldenrod because... because Heather and Armin have conspired to turn him into a nerd, that's why. There's a big bookstore here and Jean has clearly been there, carrying a bag laden down with paperbacks. Stupid nerds, getting him into books by telling him about Stephen Kringler and then making him learn about space. They've completely ruined all his coolness.]

[Blitz the Electrode is accompanying him today, and when Blitz hears the music, he rolls closer to investigate. For a moment, it looks like he's going to attack the Teddiursa when it gets too close, but Jean puts a foot out and blocks him, and Blitz settles for glowering and crackling menacingly. Jean gives the Teddiursa a handful of change and crouches down to soothe Blitz, his head cocked to one side as he listens to the music.]

[The Teddiursa jumped in surprise as the Electrode made like it was going to attack, and quickly ran off after being challenged. It only paused long enough to accept Jean's change, and then moved on to other onlookers with less angry looking pokemon with them. Luna was a Breeder's pokemon-- she didn't like to fight much.]

[Kazuki saw what happened too, but it looked like that trainer had his Electrode under control, so he didn't stop his performance. The Popplio with him began to honk in tune with his trumpet, and clapped it's flippers together in time with the music.]

[notvaljean]

[Blitz is a Trainer's Pokemon, and loves fighting! He also loves fighting because he's an ass.]

[Fortunately, Blitz isn't the only Pokemon with Jean today, and a round, cheerful Spheal peeks out from behind Jean's legs. He barks loudly when he sees the Popplio and comes rolling over, settling in next to it and clapping his flippers too. Fat Ice Dog is... not musical, so he's not clapping in time with the beat, but he's making up for it with enthusiasm.]

Are you going to be good now?

[Directed at Blitz, who crackles moodily but stays where he is. Fine, he won't attack anyone for their money! Jean stands up, and smiles at Fat Ice Dog's antics.]

[forsaintcecilia]

[Gasp!!! Fellow flipper slapping friend! Honky Tonk didn't mind this interloper in the slightest, and happily began to try and teach Fat Ice Dog the basics of rhythm by facing him and clapping his fins together with slow emphasis on each beat. It was one of the first things Kazuki had taught him about music!]

[And Kazuki had no idea there were any more seal-like Pokemon out there, so it was equally entertaining to him to see Honky Tonk play with his fellow water-type brethren. He crouched down next to the two of them and nodded encouragingly towards the adorable little Spheal.]

[notvaljean]

[Fat Ice Dog rocks back on his tail as best he can, and starts trying to follow Honky Tonk's lead. He's not doing a very good job, the times he hits the beat more accidental than intended, but he's doing his best.]

[Jean just shakes his head and grins. Fat Ice Dog always makes all the friends, and this is no exception. He'll wait until the other guy is done playing his song to try and talk to him, though.]

[forsaintcecilia]

[Honky Tonk sat back on his tail as well, and began to play patty-cake with Fat Ice Dog. It evened out both of their rhythms, and made for a better two-man show. Kazuki slowed his song down for the last couple of bars, until their game got on the beat. Then he finished, and Honky Tonk jumped back to applaud for Fat Ice Dog, his lovely volunteer! Kazuki waved to the crowd as well, and Luna returned to gathering busk money with renewed vigor.]
