. . . People.

Nooo, noooo nooo...

[Shaking her head somberly, hand on his shoulder.]

Yeah. Listen. . . it means-- [Whispers it to him, blushing.]

. . . Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooo.

M-Me? Oh...

[She's blushing!]

[She's unnaturally patient, waiting quietly as she browses through the news on her old ass phone while she's waiting. A gentle gasp as he points it out.]

Ah... Okay. Let's go!

[Raichu starts rushing ahead!]

[Brushing her GIGANTIC BloodMoon Ursaluna.]

He straightens up, adjusting his hat before pointing towards the viewer with one and and down with the other. A dialogue box appears with white text that read "Bravo! Excellent!"

(( cutely updates yellow's team :3

Ramen's good, sure.

[Nodding, Yellow stands back up, playing with her ponytail a little. Nervous, but doing her best to be strong and brave about her anxieties.]

(( looks at you with my dawn

(( ..... the best i got is a wattson grand-kid. /silly + /nf

[She offers a smile at his offer.]

If you and your 'Chu don't mind mine being a Raichu, then, sure. Heck, we could just have all of our Pokemon hang out. . . Been sorta vying away from Uncle Surge's electric types, but Raichu's my partner. Never gettin' removed from my team.

No, no. It's a little hard to explain, but... multiverse theory and all that, that's more of the direction I was thinking of. . .

[Yellow hasn't talked this much in a WHILE. Her voice dysphoria is definitely making her wanna clam up.]

. . . Yeah, there is. Huh. So you're telling me you're a different guy, then? Ah. That'd make more sense why you didn't recognize me. . .

Pallet Town is rather small, so it's not like it'd be possible to have two people named Red. Are you from another-- timeline?

. . . Sorry, sorry. You probably don't recognize me at all, compared to how much I recognize you. . .

[The girl sighs, a little embarrassed.]

I'm Yellow. I'm a travelling trainer and Pokémon medic in training, from Pallet Town.

. . . Red.

[Softspoken and gentle.]

Ah-- uhm. . . okay. Thank you.

[Her eyes rip away from his, looking around for a nearby place to grab some grub. . . Raichu looks around too, holding onto Yellow's hand with it's paw.]

You have any recommendations for places? I haven't been in town for a while. . . (💧)

++ [She's really struggling to speak, hearing her own voice makes her feel like absolute shit, but. . . she's so used to being out on her own, there was very little reason to talk out in the wilds, so she's gotta learn to deal with her voice. Easier said than done. . .]

[Old friend. . . it made her chest feel a bit fuzzy to hear that, as she continues giving scritches to Pikachu, Raichu on standby. She finally removes fingers from the yellow fur of the mouse Pokemon.]

... I was gonna heal and shop, but. Do you wanna catch lunch?

++

. . . . .

[Tired blinking.]

++ Voice dysphoria sucks so bad.]

[Pikachu receives a few gentle rubs under the neck from Yellow, who looks up at Red, brows furrowed as she tries to decide how to respond. She does a little see-saw motion with her hand, showing that things have been... alright, not good but not bad.]

I'm...surprised you recognized me.

[OUGH. ++

[Raichu revels in each scritch, cheeks sparking harmlessly, Yellow mid Pokeball grab from her back so she can send the Pokemon back into its ball and apologize. But upon being recognized by someone who hasn't seen her in a long time--]

...

[Nodding bashfully, Yellow grabs the edges of her hat.]

++ [Yellow recognized him immediately, and it hits her that Red is 98% likely not to recognize her, due to her transition. Ugh. How awkward. Raichu certainly does not get the message that they're just gonna walk past him, because Raichu runs off to confront Red! Oh, damn it. Chasing after Raichu.]
