Welcome to Gaia! ::

The city? That did make a lot of sense. If there was abundant life for that little monster to eat, it would be in Nacrene and not the routes. Especially since the pokemon in the direct vicinity of the gate to Nacrene from Route 3 had barely any life in them thanks to Hitmonlee.

Salieri wrinkled her nose at the Solosis. She could practically smell the psychic power coming off of it, but she tried to hide her disdain in front of her friends. "I bet he's in the city too, but how do you expect to find him?" she asked Wayne while she started leading the walk back in the direction they came. She held up her hands barely a foot apart from each other. "Melty's super small. And this city is kind of large."

Salem cocked her head to the side and made an O of surprise with her mouth. [You know, I thought you'd be dopey at first, but you're super smart! I like you!] the Eevee cooed over to D-Vee in a innocently cute manner.

Somewhere inside of his pokeball, Chen Zhen cried.

((Poor Solosis. Always a bridesmaid))

The following takes place beyond the gatehouse and within Nacrene City.

Wayne recalled the psychic type and in its place sent out Petilil. The tiny grass type materialised between the legs of all this nearly-fully-grown people. They were like towers. And she couldn't see the sky. Maybe it was because it was nighttime but that wasn't the important part. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!

Oh, that's Salieri. And Wayne! She scurried behind Wayne's leg and peeked out. And the girl with the sleepy otter thing. Oh. Well. That's not so bad.

Wayne lay Henrietta down and turned to the pokémon, "Okay. We need your help to find Melty."

[!]

"Yeah. So listen. Use Sweet Scent and spread it around and stuff. If Melty's nearby he should be able to smell it and come running. Or floating or whatever."

Wayne stood up as Petilil started scrunching up her face to summon as much Sweet Scent as she could. The trainer whispered to the others, "We think Melty has a crush on Petilil. He torched a bunch of pokémon while we were training this morning cause they got near her."

And then he went on to cackle while burning the pokémon homes as well. Wayne frowned when he recalled the last part, but his concentration broke with the little farting sound coming from the grass type.

Sweet Scent emerged as a pinkish cloud that smelled really sweet. It dissipated quickly, thinning out until it became invisible, but you could still smell it. Petilil blushed with embarrassment.

(( ninja ))

Before Salem could answer D-Vee's question with [All of them!], Melty suddenly appeared. So the Eevee spun around to face the candle. [Yay! Found him already!]

A cold breath escaped Salieri's lips and a shiver ran down her spine from Melty being so close. Yep, that was him. It felt as if someone had put a slight weight on her shoulders. "My sixth sense is tingling! Nice work Wayne, we found him!" she told everybody, pointing out the obvious.

"Great," Wayne said with clear relief, "Actually kinda worried there for a sec."

He glanced at the sky then down to Henrietta. It was pretty late.

"Shouldn't we like get her to bed or someth-" Oh wait yeah. He turned to Eunmi with a grin, "I'm Wayne by the way, Wayne Lee. You can call me WL."

"Eunmi Sung," Eunmi said, "But you cal call me Emi, double-U-L."

Eunmi gave Wayne an odd look at trying to say that without laughing, but then Henrietta awkwardly hugged her. The korean girl looked down, a small smile forming on her lips.

she murmured, struggling for a moment to pick the girl up. Henrietta was a small girl, and couldn't be more than 110lbs, but Eunmi couldn't easily carry a 50lb Munna, let alone a teenage girl. Still, she stood, arm tucked under the girl's legs and the other around her shoulders, wondering how on earth she was going to get Henrietta all the way back up to their hotel room.

"I c-can totally carry her," Eunmi said stubbornly.

((Yes, but Emi was freaking out and Wayne left after Sal ran into Emi.))
