Cilan! 🌿

I was just trying to make conversation! 💦

I DO work at a restaurant, but, er ... I'm off the clock right now, so ... nothing to sell, really!

Right?! It shouldn't be this hard to Land a conversation!!!

Ah ... no?

She's not giving me anything to work with here

OOC : // Cilan's faces are always fun to draw heheh

Hahaha, I'll say -- !!!

You know, there's someone who'd really like to see you again and say hello ... Come on out, Bentley!

[ He opens up a Luxury Ball, and out of the light pops ... a Simisage! He chirps happily at the sight of Raichu, his leafy tail wagging behind him. ]

Solid choices! I've, um ... already mentioned my love for Grass types. But I enjoy Bug types a lot as well!

. . . 💦

[ He's used to carrying a conversation, but this is crazy! ]

Ehm ... what's your favorite Pokémon type?

OOC : // TRULY That's what I love about them

I see, I see ... Do you know how it works? Is it just a form of armor, or a full-body transformation?

[ Tilting their head, observing curiously. ]

OOC : //

OOC : // Wet sniffle. Hai

OOC : // He does canonically infodump btw. My autism boy

You know, I've seen many Pokémon in my time double, no, TRIPLE in size during battle -- depending on their abilities or certain items you've given them ... Quite the impressive feat!!!

[ Cilan, true to his word, does not actually freak out. In fact, his starry-eyed reaction seems to suggest, if anything, he finds it Awesome. They raise their hands and clap. ]

Oh, bravo ~ ! What a tasteful transformation!!!

Team Magma?

[ They're disbanded, right? Hopefully he has no reason to worry for his safety, here ... ]

You must be from the Hoenn region, then. 💧

Haha, I'll try not to!

Oh! May I see ... ?

[ Oh so polite ... ]

I suppose it is -- !

[ The ears remind him a bit of a Meowth's ... ]

... So! Ummm ... what's your name ... ?

Ah -- hmm?

You're an animal?

Oof -- !

[ The firm grip catches him off guard just a tad. ]

That's ... a nice grip you've got there!

. . . 💦 !

[ Nervously adjusting his bowtie. ]

Aah, my apologies ... sometimes I tend to ramble a little bit ... Or! A lot, haha.

Anyway -- yes! Magic animals is a great way to describe it.

. . . 💦

[ Holding his hand out to shake. ]

I'm Cilan! I like Grass type Pokémon.

[ Oh, he absolutely LIGHTS up at the sight of Raichu. ]

Well, LOOK who evolved ~ ! Hi there, Raichu!!!

Ah -- well hello, Miss!!!

I'm a Pokémon Connoisseur, so ... part of my job is to assess the bond between trainers and their Pokémon! I give people feedback on how they can strengthen their friendship with their Pokémon and coordinate together as a team with them.

[ Staring at him, his mouth agape a little in a ":o" expression. This person doesn't know what a Pokémon is? How curious! ]

Oh! Well ... they're creatures with elemental powers that we catch, befriend, and train. They come in all different shapes and sizes!

It's going great! Or, err ... maybe I'm a tad bit overwhelmed, but ... I'm sure it'll pass.

[ Holding his hand out to shake. ]

Um ... I'm Cilan! I like Grass type Pokémon.
