Little sparks flew from red cheeks, and Plusle skidded to a halt, some dust and pebbles picking up in a small cloud behind his trail. Azure eyes fell onto the Electric Squirrel, the tiny body still shivering with tears like a child desperately clinging to its mother. When the Pachirisu hopped and skipped about, he felt his ears flop over with the blonde girl's pat. Plusle blinked a few times, clearing his blurry vision before giving a little halfhearted smile.
With a bounce, Plusle continued on his way, supporting Cecilia's answer that she was, in fact, not his trainer. This time however, Plusle would beckon both of the girls (and Combee and Pachirisu) to follow with red paws and a soft squeak. Soon enough, the single half of the Cheering Pokemon duo came upon what he was trying to lead the others to...
Not too far off, in a small narrow alley, his partner Minun had her head stuck in a trash bin, the lower half of her body flailing about as she tried to pull herself free. But to Plusle's surprise, there was already someone there. The slender figure had a stick wedged into the trash can's opening, pallid fingers clutched as they worked on pulling the Minun out. A soft hue of blue was barely visible around their frame.
One deep breath later, the blue rabbit's body flung up and out of the bin. Grim tainted her vanilla fur, but cheerful squeaks mimicking laughter emitted from Minun as Plusle practically tackled his partner. Gasping a little, the androgynous figure's virescent hair clung to their effeminate face. They tossed the stick aside, readjusting the billowing scarf around their neck.
Walking up to the two girls, they had a permanently-etched smile across their features, lambent jade eyes glinting with amusement. Swiftly, they pulled a chocolate bar out of Cecilia's pockets, unraveling it and taking a nibble.
