Log:

(A - LOCKED TO TSUKIYAMA)
[ She ended up staying in Cherrygrove a little longer than intended to save up money for a camera, but on the morning of the 13th she finally decides to make use of the Abra Tsukiyama sent her. Teleportation is a weird experience and it's a bit disorienting, just popping in like that without being able to see the destination ahead of time but it's also really neat.

Not long after, she takes out her PokéGear to type a message: ]

I'm at the Pokémon Center. Come pick me up and treat me to parfait.

[ Once that's sent out, she plays with her Abra for a little while before she grows tired of waiting indoors - so by the time Tsukiyama gets there, he'll find her taking pictures of some bushes growing near the entrance. ]

(B - OPEN TO EVERYONE)
[ After she's spent time with Tsukiyama and filled her stomach with an absurd amount of dessert, Chie leaves to explore the city - and more importantly, to buy herself a good camera because she's spent over a week with just the one built into her PokéGear and that's no way to live at all. She's perfectly fine with being kidnapped to a different world but taking her camera is completely unacceptable, in her opinion. Once she's found the perfect camera (that happens to be an adorable shade of pink) she is absolutely excited and immediately sets out to put it to good use.

That said, anyone in Goldenrod today may run into a tiny girl who looks no older than twelve with her camera raised in front of her. She's almost constantly moving, her footsteps creating a steady rhythm on the pavement, and when she stops it's to take a picture of something that catches her attention - which can be pretty much anything, ranging from things on display in a window to a bicycle somebody propped up against a wall.

She's particularly interested in taking pictures of Pokémon, however, having recently made it her goal to photograph all the different species in this world. So if you happen to be around with one of your Pokémon out of their Pokéball? Then congratulations, you're about to get approached by a girl who aims her camera at your unfortunate critter and then snaps a picture of it. Apparently she doesn't care about asking for permission first, um. ]

(C - LOCKED TO THE TOKYO GHOUL HOUSE)
[ It's late in the afternoon when she decides that she should call it a day and go to the house since she hasn't seen it yet. So after making a quick visit to the Pokémon Center to retrieve a few things from the PC she heads over to the address she's been given.

...Let's just say that there now is a tiny girl standing in the hallway with a stupid number of Zigzagoons gathered at her feet. Thankfully, they don't seem to be interested in immediately swarming the house and settle for simply sniffing around in her near vicinity for the time being. ]

[Chihiro is, once again, out visiting the Department Store to buy TMs. While he doesn't plan on breeding another clutch right away, he wants to make sure that the eggs he does end up breeding are as strong as they can be for prospective trainers. Once he's got two bags filled with TMs of various types he's on the street again headed back home, carrying one while his Leavanny carries the other in her arms. She's also got a small cloth bag filled with yarn for herself for knitting purposes, obviously. And leading the way looking as happy as a clam with a chewtoy shaped like a Sitrus berry in his mouth is Chihiro's Linoone, Isamu, trotting with his head held high and his jaws squeaking the toy every so often.

The moment the group reaches where Chie is, Isamu stops short and glances up at her, just seconds before she snaps a picture of him. The flash causes him to blink slowly before he sits down hard on the pavement, his jaws closing on the toy as it gives a plaintive eEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee in response.]

[ ...oh no, Isamu...

Chie turns her camera around so she can check out the result on the screen - and smile, pleased with how the picture turned out before she finally says something to Chihiro. ]

What kind of Pokémon is that?

[ She could use her PokéGear to identify it but that would require digging through her shoulder bag for it first and she doesn't feel like doing that. ]

Oh, um...he's a Linoone.

[Isamu shakes his head a little, blinking a few more times to try to get the spots to go away before looking at Chie again, squeaking his toy a few times with his tail wagging slowly. It seems like the flash didn't bother him too much at least, especially since he's been used to Chihiro taking pictures now and then for he and Nanami's scrapbooking, lately.

Chie's in for a treat- if you could call it that- since Isamu is...not really your average Linoone. He's very obviously a bit chubbier than they're supposed to be.]

Is that the evolved form of Zigzagoon? [ The name is pretty similar to "Zigzagoon", and it looks like something a Zigzagoon could evolve into. ]

Are they all chubby like that?

Yes! And...well...no. Not usually. ...he likes to eat a lot.

[Speaking of eating, Isamu's on his feet again soon enough, walking a bit closer to Chie to try and sniff at her bag a little to see if she might have anything that smells interesting in there, all the while still holding the toy in his mouth.]

I've been trying to keep him away from scraps...and get some exercise once and a while, but it's been working very slowly.

Make him exercise more. That should solve the problem, right?

[ She crouches down to get a closer look at the Linoone, letting him sniff at the bag - has a few snacks and a can of soda in there, which he is likely going to notice. ]

[Chihiro nods in agreement, holding his bag at his front.]

Yes, I think so. I'll have to let him out in the backyard more often, at least once a day maybe.

[He certainly does notice, and it gets his attention enough to make him momentarily drop his toy and try to actually nose at her bag a little more with a whine in the back of his throat.]

No, Isamu...there's nothing there for you.

Or let him do laps around the house. [ And that gets her to stand up again, giving him a slightly annoyed look; no thank you, those snacks belong to her. >B( ]

[Awww :c

He does have enough tact to not just leap at her to try and get the snacks, at least, and instead backs off to pick up his toy again.]

Maybe I'll have him keep an eye on the baby Pokemon sometime. That would be enough exercise for anyone.

Yeah. [ There's a pause, and her attention shifts to the Leavanny - that's another species she hasn't seen before, so naturally she's quite curious about it. ]

I've never seen a bug that big before. [ And here she thought the Weedles and Caterpies were pretty huge. ]

Mm?

[Oh, right. Chihiro turns to look up at Shiruku, who smiles gently at Chie and offers her a small wave with the arm not full of bags.]

This is Shiruku. She's a Leavanny...the final evolution of Sewaddle.

She's almost as big as I am...

[ Fascinated, she circles around Shiruku while looking her up and down and staring intently. Once Chie's made a full circle around her, she takes a step back so she can get the Pokémon's entire body in the viewfinder before pressing the button on her camera with a click. ]

[The Pokemon blushes a little when she realizes that she's now the subject of the photographs, fidgeting a little in place to try and look somewhat presentable.]

It's amazing, isn't it? She used to be so small, I could hold her in my arms without a problem.

Do all bugs here end up huge when they evolve?

[ She hums softly, flipping the camera around to see how this shot turned out, and given how she jumps up and down she seems to be rather happy with it. ]

Most of them seem to. They tend to grow much faster than most other Pokemon I've worked with, too.

[While Chie does that, Shiruku leans forward a little with her antennae waving curiously, trying to see if she can get a peek at the picture over the top of her camera.]
