See ya!

[Still with a smile on her face, Yukari ends the call, Bianca's words lingering as she thinks about them. Bianca would obviously wait for her, but she decides to hurry anyway, just 'cause she's that eager -- and she'd like to tell her about N arriving, too.

Within the next 10-15 minutes or so, she'll be showing up at the Plaza, with an eye out for her Pokemon and her short blonde hair.]

[The moment that Yukari was in the Plaza, she can see a girl with blond hair by the fountains somewhere. Most her pokemon were still wet (especially Stoutland) so she can't move around without some towels!

As the girl began looking around, she wasn't too sure what Yukari looked like. It's been a while but she knew her memory couldn't be that bad! So when she saw someone...]

Yukari, is that you? [She shouted before waving her arms up in the air] Yukari, over here!

[Suddenly, Yukari hears her name.

Her attention quickly turns, and she sees her -- yes, that's Bianca all right. Definitely older. Her jaw kind of hangs open for a moment while she takes it in, but then she approaches.]

Hey!! Wow, you're wearing glasses now, huh?

[-- Whoa, and that is a really wet dog!! Yukari says hello Stoutland, who she's probably most familiar with due to taking care of him for that short time -- but she greets all her other Pokemon as well, best as she can.]

Ah, I was right, you are Yukari!

[Hooray, it means that Bianca was still able to recognize her friends around here! Despite the two year difference, she was able to tell who was who so far. Hopefully, it means that she can keep it up!]

That's right! You see I-

[Her words were cut short the moment Stoutland went up to his friend! It seemed like he remembered who Yukari was too!]

Ah, watch out! He's covered in water!

[Yukari had so been looking forward to her thrilling explanation, too -- but she does appreciate the warning, she supposes. Even though, y'know, she kind of noticed already.]

I can see that.

[She chuckles -- squeals a little when Stoutland starts to get her clothes a bit wet -- and quickly she reaches for a nearby towel.]

Hang on, boy, this'll help.

[As Bianca got closer to Stoutland, she couldn't help but giggle! Now she's getting both her trainer and Yukari wet!]

Oh, can you get me one too?

[She said before she began drying Stoutland by....taking off her hat and swings an up and down motion. However, despite the situation, Bianca wasn't complaining. ]

This reminds me of the time that I wanted to go research some water pokemon and was covered in water!

I wouldn't forget about you.

[She grabs two towels and hands one off to Bianca, as requested! That does leave Stoutland waiting a bit impatiently, but Yukari gets back to him soon enough. She waits for Bianca to continue.]

So what -- did you go swimming?

[With that, Bianca quickly tried to dry herself off but that was the problem wasn't it? Her clothes were soaking wet too!

Due to this, she was starting to sneeze not once...but twice!]

N-No, I was studying about Psyduck but I accidentally tripped and fell in the pool!

I was pretty clumsy but that's okay, I got some glasses to make sure I don't do that agai-[Ahhh....] !

[And just watch, she'll do it again!]

[Oh, boy, the sneezing doesn't sound too good. Yukari looks concerned for a moment, but Bianca seems to recover quickly. So she'll listens to her story, taking it in, annddd . . .]

Sounds like swimming to me.

[Man, another sneeze --]

Jeez, you okay? Use the towel if you need to.

[Seriously, the locals have to wash 'em anyways.]

[As Bianca gave a sniffle, the girl was starting to get worried. She wasn’t getting sick was she? The water was cold but it wasn’t enough to make her get the flu...right? Either way, she’ll just have to wait and see! Once she dried up however...]

I think so! I’ve been sick before but not like this! I never had a cold because the water was too cold!

...Is it possible to get sick from something like that?

[However, now her pokemon was starting to sneeze too!]

Oh no, don’t tell me we’re all getting sick!

[Yukari's already opened her mouth to answer, though Bianca doesn't give her the chance. That's okay though. That happens a lot with her.

-- Besides, she's busy trying to cover herself from everyone's sneezes.]

Don't freak out. Even if you do, it'll pass. Let's just get you some dry clothes, and then we'll see what we can do about your Pokemon.

[That’s just like Bianca, always talking until the last second. However, she does know what be quiet when she needs to be. This was probably not one of those times for she feared getting sick.]

Yeah...I guess so...there should be some around here right?

Mmhmm. [Much better! Yukari nods, giving her an encouraging smile.] And remember, everything's free. So you'll be able to grab something right away.

Whatever you like.

Oh right, I forgot that most things here are free!

[She smiled as she looked at Stoutland once more]

Then where do we go to get some clothes?

The marketplace! C'mon, I'll show ya.

[She gestures, but then stops for a moment to glance at her Pokemon. She wonders if they wouldn't be better off in their Pokeballs or whatever she calls them, for now --

But she'll leave it up to her.]

Okay then, I-

[Then Bianca looks back at Stoutland and back at Yukari. Hm...the marketplace wouldn’t be a good place for him would it? It would get a lot of stares...but then again, he does like to be outside...]

...Uh....what is the marketplace like again? Would it be big enough for Stoutland?

It's . . . pretty big, but it might be a good idea to, um . . . y'know.

[Do the Pokeball thing . . . She sort of makes gestures. Is there even a name for that?]

At least until we can dry him off.

Oh, you mean my pokeball?

[She said as she brought it to their eye level]

Hm...I don't think it would be too long until he dries off but...

[The moment she said that though, guess what? Have a Stoutland that began shaking around to get the water off! Looks like you're going to get wet too Yukari!]

Ah...!

H- Hey, wait -- !!

[SCREAMS ASDFGAD]

[Okay not really, but Yukari does let out kind of a squeak in surprise, and she shields her face with her arms as best she can. Sob . . . !!]

Well. I guess I may as well pick up some new clothes too.

[She says in a flat tone.]

B-But at least it means that Stoutland is dry now right?

[Bianca gave a disapproval look at her pokemon before he gave a small whine. However, this does give reason enough for Bianca to return her pokemon to his ball though. Once she does so, she gave Yukari a nervous expression]

Um...so we can go now?

Yeah, of course.

[Noooot angry. She acts as if she's brushing dirt off herself now, but of course that doesn't work with water, so . . . yeah, she'll just start leading the way.

Bianca probably doesn't remember.]

This way.

Okay then! Off we'll go wherever to the market is!

[Bianca shouted as she went toward the general direction. Even when she was soaked, she still had that happy chipper attitude. ...Granted, she hoped it might stop her from getting sick but...!]

So...did anything happen while I was gone? I know I was gone for two years back home but...

[They walk at a leisure pace, no real sense of urgency or rush. Something clicks though when Bianca asks, and her eyes widen as she turns to her. Luckily it hasn't been that long since she left Vatheon, but --]

Oh, yeah. I was gonna tell you but I almost forgot.

. . . N's back.

[For a moment, Bianca just stared at the girl from the side. So, he finally came back. She doesn't really remember her time with him here in Vatheon but she does know that she hadn't seen him in two years. Hilbert went out of his way to find him and yet...]

...But it just means that some of our friends might be coming back though! So I'm just happy that I get to see him again!

[However, she hasn't seen him in a long time though. ...How will she react to him?]
