[Tanaka no... Getting caught out in the rain shouldn't be a scenario they repeat a hundred times. Yachi makes a mental note to keep an eye out for shelters whenever they're travelling, and stay tuned to the radio for weather broadcasts even though it's been the exact same thing day in and day out since she's gotten here.]

It's okay, Mai! I would have been caught outside in the rain anyways, and I'd rather it be with other people than by myself. I feel a lot safer with you and Tanaka here. Jaeger too! [She gives the Scraggy a smile, not so scary when she isn't being glowered at like their first meeting]

I wonder how long this storm will last though... Maybe Mari can fly up above the clouds and see the direction and extent of the storm.

[In moving to unclip her the ball from her belt, two of them are knocked off and both Pokemon released: a Pidgey that immediately shrinks away from the rain and burrows under the hem of Yachi's blanket, and a Totodile that ignores Yachi's yelp of surprise-- instead of her worst fear of her starter going on a rampage and eating all her friends, he makes a beeline out of the overhang and into the rain and hail, having the time of his life catching and shattering the chunks of ice with his teeth.]

Oh. Uh... This is Mari [she slides the blanket off her shoulders and burritos the Pidgey inside] and that out there is Eli.
