[ Despite being alone after The Void dropped her off just at the base of Azalea Town, Aki heard about the lush, incredible diversity of grass types that lurked inside the forest. Hearing tales of their power, abilities and talents, Aki pretty much spent Everything She Had(tm) on pokeballs and supplies, squandering the small surplus of money she won from battling with over-leveled Pokemon she caught with her Black Rose Dragon while she had psychic powers (this was the approach she took after her party was wiped out by a Gloom). By battling, we just mean she stood there while they insolently battered the local NPC competition.
She's had some pretty mixed results, but she's not quite done with the hunting for new companions yet, even if she is now at the point where she has to rotate between them. Her constant companions, Budew (Miss Rose) and Queen Princess Carolyn, remain constant and out of their Pokeballs.
But those elements... whew lord! They are rough. Aki's tent looks hilariously damaged from Skitty getting the idea that anything is a scratching post if it just believes enough.
In contrast to the portable torn shack one would generously call a tent, is the sweet aroma of fresh, herbed vegetables and the savory underlying of pork that is slowly cooked. She's not too sure on where the hell regular pork comes from, but she didn't question it too much while making the purchase. She was hungry and willing to overlook the logistics. There's also the complimentary rice balls, or donuts as the the translator insists they are for some reason... It's a very large dinner for one, but Aki, in truth, was planning on using the excess as bait to catch even more plants. She knows some carnivorous ones are around because of a Weepinbell, so she's gotta try everything!
Her back remains turned and into the grill, but, she recognizes and thinks fondly of Yuzu! Plus, they would be able to duel! She saw her a bit around the wedding but all the hustle and bustle made it impossible to go up in introduction (also all the random warping made it very difficult to get introductions of any kind done!)! If presented the opportunity, she'd rather split her cooking with a friend and it may not be the best decision to just be here defenseless with a bunch of snacks for a swarm of Beedrill. ]
[ It was nice that after the weekend of weirdness, Yuzu got plopped back down at the Ilex Forest where she'd been before it had all started as well. Besides the wedding (which was conveniently clear in her memory), it was all a bit of a blur... but she did remember the Pokemon she caught and that it was a very weird weekend.
Still, as she makes her way through the forest... the smell of something being cooked is easy to pick up on. ]
Hello? Is anyone—oh!
[ Oh hello! Looks like this 4th wall was conveniently dropping a friend near her! ]
[ That voice sounds familiar, but a little different without the recording and static.
Aki looks behind her shoulder. ]
Ah.. Hi there! Didn't expect to see you here!? You coming on in from town? [ She seems a little more well adjusted than their first encounter over the network. At least, she's learned how to operate Pokeballs by now. ]
Aki! [ She'll quickly run over, looking considerably happier. ] Well, I was, but then the weekend happened... and it just so happened to dump me off back here when it all ended.
[ Okay, observation number one... she saw Aki over the network, but she was definitely pretty... and she could say that for certain now, having now seen her in-person. number two is that this really is pretty convenient for them! ]
[ She'll come over to join her here, then! Yuzu was starting to feel hungry anyway, so this works out pretty well. She raises an eyebrow at the mention of grass types, though. ]
Oh, do you like grass types?
[ Her Eevee, Aria, is currently perched on top of her head right now... but she pulls out one of her Pokeballs and let's out a small Steenee as she sits down. ]
Oh! That looks just like the Bounsweet I am trying to catch! [ She leans forward to inspect it a litte bit before looking for her PokeGear. ] Please! Help yourself while I find the PokeGear!
[ Her eyes light up. ] Yes! The first Bounsweet I tried to catch I actually had no Pokeballs for! I've been trying to catch one since I first started. [ She looks at Steenee very confused, matching the Pokémon's curiosity. ]
Evolve...? They can do that? When? [ She's mystified as she quickly recaps what she has so far. ]
Currently, on me, I have Budew, Skitty and Weepinbell. I had three more Pokémon but I ended up catching some new ones. [ Aki has been on this Gotta Catch Them All hype recently and I am still so behind on updating it sobs. ]
[ Aki looks up in wonderment. She studies Stenee's form as her hand reaches into her bag and pulls out her Pokedex. ]
Let's see.. [ The PokeDex begins to rattle off some facts... ]
This Pokémon is always bouncing around energetically. Other Pokémon are attracted by its lively appearance and pleasant aroma.
Hm... this gives me some ideas... First, would you mind seeing if any of Pokemon are evolved? Then we should try to use its sweet aroma to lure some more pokemon to catch! After we can duel! [ Aki is pretty much proposing a full schedule. ]
One of the things I heard about is how many different kinds of plants they are! I want to catch them all, just because having a diverse amount would feel like my deck at home.
I was a little sullen to discover I could only carry six at a time... and since I'm here planning on catching a whole lot without access to them, I'm going to have to rotate them out carefully. [ She's a little crazed over this plant thing, ok??? ]
[ The schedule sounds good to her, and she gets being fascinated with plants. All of her fusion monsters had flower themes, after all! Still, she's just happy to have met up and started hanging out with Aki at all. ]
ACTION - ILEX FOREST - the 26th?? maybe???? evening, before sunset!

So you ended up here as well?
oh no! i hit the enter button too early
There's apparently a lot of grass types here, so I wanted to take my time and see what I could get.
[ Her posture relaxes at seeing it's not Team Rocket or some kind of predator. She motions to the food in front of her. ]
I was making extra for some bait for Pokémon, but, if you're hungry, it's probably of much better use if you eat with me.

[ Yuzu helps herself, grabbing a plate and some cutleries while her Steenee tilted it's head curiously at Aki. ]
Her name is Diva, I met her on the first route when she was getting harrassed by some bird Pokemon.

But this isn't a Bounsweet...

[ The small Pokemon lets out a happy cry, doing a little pose as if showing off at the introduction. Yup, time to find out about Evolution, Aki. ]
See, apparently most Pokemon can suddenly grow and change forms, evolving! Here are my Evolved Pokemon so far...
[ She'll put her plate down and pull out some Pokeballs, letting out a Staravia, Gallade, and a Brionne. ]
This is Solo, Mozart, and Opera!

[ Diva runs up to Yuzu, jumping into her arms with a smile. ]
It's kind of like in Duel Monsters... when a monster has a stronger form, you know?
