- River sighed. The island was growing in population again, it seemed, and she didn’t like it. The reason she’d settled here (okay, so maybe it would be better to add ’for the meantime’) was for the peace and quiet it seemed to bring, no matter how many people were bustling about. For some reason her home screamed ‘stability!’ to her, and the fact that they now had a bunch of tourists intruding on that was just as frustrating as if they were fawning all over her Pokémon!
They were just heading into the main area, of sorts, where people were beginning to unpack and prepare their goods for the people already arriving. Tourists were already pouring in, it seemed, and River had to make the two of them stop, and she pointed at the others.
“You see that, Poli? All those people are coming to the island for the festival, and we’re going to have to live with them for as long as we can.”
The Politoed just blinked at it’s owner and ex-trainer, saying “Poli?” in a confused tone, making the girl smile back at her.
“I know, right? I don’t see why they all have to come here either,” River laughed, hand on the Pokémon’s shoulder, directing her still, despite how long they’d been on the island, “not all at once, at least.”
But it was the festival! And that meant people and noise and an even louder night life! She could practically hear the water Pokémon telling her so, especially with the look she was giving her owner, and River had to shake her head.
“Alright, alright – maybe it makes more sense that they all turn up at once, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it!”
Her laughter made the Politoed smile and close it’s eyes. It’s three-fingered hand stretched out to grab the Pokémon next to her, only to grab air. Eyes open in shock, the female prodded the brunette beside her and gestured wildly at the empty space.
“You know I can’t let them out yet Poli – they’ll just cause a load of problems this early in the morning, what with their sizes and general attitude of causing problems,” River pointed out, patting the Frog Pokémon on the head. “But I promise, Heracross can come out later, once he’s stopped fighting with Dragonite.”
