Welcome to Gaia! ::

Had it not been for the fact she had been to the karaoke bar a few times prior, LizDuck would have been hopelessly lost. Even now, the streets seemed so unfamiliar to her, the idol still got lost half the time to simple places. Celadon was busy, but it was where she grew up.

Walking along the street with her favorite companion, Bob, she seemed rather chipper. Afterall, karaoke meant she could sing, and singing was one of her favorite things to do. As the two almost seemed to frolic along, the idol couldn't help but mentally plan how the evening would go. She'd probably stick to songs she didn't write, but only if someone recognized her at the karaoke bar would she do one of her own songs. That way she'd seem modest like a good idol should.

The Jigglypuff easily noticed her trainer's good mood, and she easily knew it was because the two of them could perform together. And that she was still excited about finally bringing Bob to Zatao. Who wouldn't be in a good mood after being reunited with their best friend.

"Jigglypuff!" the pokemon chimed in.

Now, Bob wasn't exactly the easiest to scare, but when she was surprised, anyone could easily tell. Not used to battle-eager trainers, nearly bumping into one gave her quite a fright. The balloon pokemon puffed up into a much larger size, before suddenly deflating and going whizzing through the air. And her shrill little cry of "Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuffffffffffffffffffffff!!!" echoed through the air for a bit before she landed back on the ground many feet away. Fortunately, being so light-weight, the impact of her and the ground caused pretty much no damage.

LizDuck, however, wasn't aware of the trainer's presence until Bob had already escaped. "Bob, nooooo!!!" Her brown eyes darted from side to side as the Pokemon flew around uncontrollably before returning to the trainer's eyes. Her fingers twitched a little, wanting to rush to her favorite pokemon's side. Instead, she restrained herself.

"Oh my, what a surprise you gave us!" she exclaimed. Bowing her head a bit in apology for her rudeness, she then replied "I guess we weren't expecting to see anyone this way either on our way to the karaoke bar." She added a chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood.

LizDuck was much too wise with how to make Bob upset, and one of them was laughing at her for her balloon-like ways. She stayed in front of the other trainer for a little bit and got a minimal glance at the Pikachu before she flocked over to her beloved Pokemon. "Bob, Bob, are you alright?" she almost seemed to mewl out in concern.

"....jiggly..." was all a very dizzy balloon Pokemon could offer. She was laying as flat as her round body could on the ground and had her face up towards the sky.

The idol, being the concerned trainer she was, picked up Bob in her arms, then made her way back to the group. Once back in front of the girl, she whispered (and hoped Bob didn't hear) "...I hope you don't mind... she can be a bit dramatic at times..." Adding a giggle at the end, she then took a better look at the Pikachu now on the trainer's shoulder. Without thinking, she readjusted so she held her own Pokemon with one hand and attempted to pet the other one. "Hello there, Pikachu!" One of these days, she was destined to be shocked by a shy electric Pokemon with her lack of thought.

The idol had no clue whether to agree or not to the accusation made of dramatic Pokemon. Perhaps it would be better to skip that subject altogether.

"What type of Pokemon is 'Aeon'?" She could have tried listing off a bunch of Pokemon, but then she could have been left there a long while. It was here her petting did cease for a bit as she tried to mentally guess what Aeon could be.

In the meanwhile, a deflated Jigglypuff was now the subject of abuse. Fortunately, the balloon was not exactly alert, otherwise they would have been prone to a pouting fit, consisting of more inflating and major sulking.

".....jiggly...."

"Oh, a Raichu! I've seen one other in this area, I think it was called Chuchu?" LizDuck scratched her head as she thought about it. That was the right name, right? Speaking of Raichus, she didn't have any Pikachu entries in her pokedex yet. Casually, she pulled her pink pokedex out and pointed it at the Pikachu for recording a pokedex entry .

"Pikachu: the Mouse Pokemon. If it looses crackling power from the electric pouches on its cheeks, it is being wary."

"Bob here is my first Pokemon... none of mine have ever bred though... but my Eevees are twins...?" Now she was rambling a bit. And as it had been pointed out, neither had given out any formal introductions. Holding onto the edges of her dress, she gave a small curtsy and gave a very happy "My name is LizDuck. It is a pleasure to meet you, Jennifer."

Afterwards, she couldn't help but twirl around and make a small cute pose.

Finally, at long last, Bob seemed to regain her composure, puffing up slightly and jiggling herself a bit as if to say "Wake up!" However, a simple "Puff!" was all she said. Finding that her trainer was busy in conversation, she decided to entertain herself by puffing up more and floating up to near LizDuck's shoulder. Being a balloon Pokemon was so much fun and did have its advantages.

"Oh, welcome back, Bob!" LizDuck greeted her pink companion before turning back to Jen. "We were heading to a karaoke bar that's not too far off! Would you like to come along?" This trainer didn't seem all that dangerous or anything, so she probably wouldn't do anything like kidnap her. Pulling her pokedex back and putting in back in her apron pocket, she narrowly avoided having the Pikachu touching the very edge of it.

As this other trainer spoke of seeing the eevees, Bob almost seemed to get up into the trainer's face. What about her? She was much more cute than a couple of Eevees! And she was definitely much more adorable than the Pikachu on this trainer's shoulder. Wanting to get her point across, the balloon Pokemon pointed at herself, demanding some sort of attention.

Careful not to laugh at her Jigglypuff, LizDuck added at the end "Maybe we can wait until we get to the karaoke bar instead? I don't need a parade of Pokemon to keep track of right now." It sometimes proved very difficult to just watch over Bob, who was much like a spoiled toddler at best. She'd always get into things she probably shouldn't get into.

Chirping up lightly, LizDuck confidently responded "Yeah, that's the one! I know how to get there! I've been pretty regular there lately!" After all, singing was her career.

And then disaster struck. It all happened rather quickly, with Abiba pouncing the floating Jigglypuff. However, there was a reason why Jigglypuffs never could learn the move "Fly." Like a 20 pound weight that had been dropped from that height, both the Pikachu and the Jigglypuff fell from the air. "PUUUUUUUFF!!!!" Bob hollered out in dismay and panic.

Biting her lip slightly, all the idol did was wait and hope that the Jigglypuff wouldn't get upset. Please don't get mad, please don't get mad, please don't get mad! she repeated in her head.
