2nd Flight [Video]

[tookthename]

[The pokégear comes on. Carol's sitting against a tree with a somewhat worried look on her face.]

Hey, I was wondering if there are any experts on pokémon behavior out there who might be able to help me. I was just sitting here doing some stretches when this little guy just kinda crawled into my lap and went to sleep.

[She moves the camera so that it now shows a small Pachirisu curled up on her lap. It looks very peaceful. Her Taillow and Pidgey are both staring at it curiously. She turns the gear back around so it once again focuses on her face.]

Is this normal or could he be sick? Should I take him to a pokémon center or something?

I wouldn't know, mine don't really cuddle up like that - Except Ben, but he's a little big for that.

[tookthename]

What kind of pokemon do you have?

[handydecisions]

Uh...

[Lookit him doesn't know their names.

Well he knows the names he and Clem gave them. But he's gonna just flip the camera around and show her his Taillow, Rufflet, Kirlia, Marowak, Nidoqueen, and Furret.]

These kinds. Ben's the big fuzzy one.

[Ben looks up at his name, big Furret ears pricking, before Lee turns the camera back around.]

How about you?

[tookthename]

So far just a Taillow and a Pidgey, and maybe this little guy too.

I can see why they don't tend to crawl in your lap.

[handydecisions]

Like I said, except for Ben, but he thinks he's about half that size. Three of 'em weren't mine to begin with, I'm just... taking care of them.

[Just because she's not here anymore doesn't mean he's given up on Clem coming back.]

Taillow, that's like Atlanta, isn't it? [He whistles a sharp note and his own Taillow perches on his shoulder.]

I'm Lee, by the way.

[tookthename]

Yeah, that's a Taillow.

[Helen came over and landed on her shoulder. She begins chattering at Atlanta.]

This is Helen. She was my starter.

[handydecisions]

[Atlanta ruffles her feathers and chatters back excitedly.]

This is Atlanta. I...actually, I don't remember where she came from. Cherokee was my starter - that's the other bird that was over there, the eagle one.

[Cherokee squawks 'Rufflet!' as if reminding Lee of his species name.]

And you are?

[tookthename]

Name's Carol Danvers. So how long have you been here?

[Hearing Cherokee, Boston swoops over and lands on Carol's other shoulder.]

Guys, seriously, I'm trying to have a conversation here. [Yeah, they don't care.]

[handydecisions]

Since about April. You?

[He chuckles seeing her other shoulder suddenly become occupied by a bird. Lucky for him Cherokee's never been the snuggly type. With him, anyway. The Rufflet seems fond of little girls.

Atlanta whistles happily.]

They're smarter than normal animals but that don't mean they're any more polite.

[tookthename]

I just got here a few weeks ago.

[Helen coos back. She seems to have made a friend.]

Yeah, I've noticed that as well.

[handydecisions]

Well then, I guess a welcome is in order. What city are you at right now? Just out of curiosity.

[Atlanta preens her tails with her beak. Lee just chuckles and shakes his head.]
