Log:


[a]

When Neku had time to actually settle in to his hotel, it was... surreal, being back here after so long. And right away he needed to get out and about. It was just... weird, being indoors other then in a pokemon center now. So soon he was out on the streets, taking his Furfrou, Eiji, for a walk.

The poodle is freshly groomed in fact, her bushy fur cut into something resembling the Star cut, though anyone that's seen real Kalos Furfrou can tell it's an amateur job- but certainly not a hack job either. If the brightly colored dog doesn't attract one's attention, the fact that Neku is doing obedience training outside the Dept Store might. Having the dog lay down or sit- even roll over a few times even though it musses up her nice haircut.

"Good girl. See, it's not that hard."

Looks like someone if getting a poffin!

[b]

Only thing stranger then getting called out by someone you might not know? Something you can't SEE either. Which might be what's happening as people walk down the street and a slightly echo-y version of Neku's voice calls out:

"Hey, over here!"

But if anyone turns to look there's no one there. Well, there's a very brightly colored parrot pokemon on an awning, but otherwise? Nope.

Ghosts, obviously.

How much experience Luke has with parrots: Absolutely none. How much experience Luke has with parrot Pokémon: Very little. He's used to the local wildlife but doesn't mess with it unless it does first, so he barely even notices the bird before it decides to shout at him. Or after, because it does a pretty good impersonation of Neku, as far as he can tell.

"Huh? Ne...ku?" And there's no ginger kid in sight, just Luke and a small crowd, some of whom looked up at the call, spotted the bird, and continued walking. "...the hell are you?"

Micchy is walking his 'dog' and a frog - that is, his Lucario and shiny Greninja. The two Pokemon stop, and Yuudai alerts his trainer with a quick 'Greh!' Micchy stops as well, watching the trainer and his dog.

"... Huh. That's an interesting fur style."
