[ There's a curious someone fiddling around with her PokéGear. She's a little surprised she managed to click it on, since she's never actually dealt with much technology. ]

Ah... um, hello. [ Her surprise is replaced by a reserved sort of smile. It's pretty brittle--she's not supposed to be here. So why is she, then? Carefully, she tucks a bit of hair behind her ear. A nervous habit, but it's not one she actually notices. ] I'm a little... confused. I'm not sure what's going on, and-- [ Wait. Is that... music in the background? It's faint, and she hadn't really noticed it until she was lost in thought. ] I think I might be hearing things, but... is there music playing somewhere?

[ She lets out a little sigh and gives the Minccino beside her a pat on the head. ] I think I just need a little bit of help, or... an explanation.

I started with Zigzagoon. Though, he isn't one anymore...he evolved a while ago, into Linoone.

Would you like to see him?

[shatterings]

I would like that... if you don't mind. I think Mini is interested, too.

[ Mini's still in her arms and tapping at the screen. A new potential friend? Yes, please. ]

[codeforhope]

I don't mind at all. He is usually with me, anyway.

[And as if on cue, there's a soft grunt from offscreen as something hops up onto the bed next to Chihiro, snaking his way into his lap. A sleek- if somewhat chubby- Linoone stares as the camera with wide, blue eyes, snuffling at it curiously.]

This is Isamu.

[shatterings]

Isamu... hello.

[ He's pretty cute! Mini lets out a little chirp and waves at Isamu. It's becoming clearer and clearer that they come in all shapes and sizes. It only makes her want to get out there and explore more and more. ]

He is a Normal type Pokemon. I actually haven't seen that Pokemon you have myself before, at least not in person, but I'm pretty sure Mini is Normal type as well.

[shatterings]

Mm. That's what my Pokédex said. [ She knows there's a lot of types of Pokémon, but it's still a little mindboggling. ] The normal types... well... they all seem very cute. [ The ones she's seen so far, anyway. ]

[codeforhope]

I like them a lot, personally. And there seem to be quite a few of them, too.
