I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry I haven’t been here and just basically left you all hanging in regards of our threads. My Joli muse has evaded me—and it’s not just for this community, it’s for the majority of them. But I am so sorry and it’s not fair to you guys to just leave without a word.
I promise, I’ll be back soon and I will continue my threads and start plots with you all.
Again, I’m sorry.
My strength?
[He sneezed and rubbed his nose with a paw, sniffling a bit more.]
No…well…I really can’t compare to see whether or not my strength is affected…I think I’m relatively normal compared to Mania and Fisi, but they’re stronger than me, regardless…
Vous bénisse! Perhaps I shall…
[/Joli takes a couple more steps backward, hoping to ease the Shiny’d allergies some.]
…Better, mon ami?
Ah, I am sure you are very strong! But if you do not think so, have you ever sought to change it?
Maybe you’ve seen my mom and dad. Are there any other Lilligant living around here?
Perhaps! Oh, non, not that I have seen. There are a few Petilil, however.
Not sure whether I should feel insulted by that…but I guess I’ll let you slide, doll.
[Fisi grinned yet again, enjoying his time with the Grass-type. It wasn’t like he had anything else to do but hang out with the beautiful Lilligant.]
But hehe, of course I’ve got character…I’m Fisi, after all.
Oh, non, no need to feel insulted! I am merely just stating my initial reaction! You are nothing to fear, dear Pooch.
But, hee hee, you certainly are something else!
Mania let you scratch her ear? Wow…she’s normally not that easy-going…And um, yeah. We all do that if you scratch that certain spot that we can’t reach. Mine’s my belly for instance.
[ Fisi looked puzzled at the mention of a relationship between Sirius and Joli….Sirius was a hopeless dog that had no chance with any Pokemon…at least in his opinion, anyway. ]
Yeah…but sometimes Sirius will surprise you when he’s not being so mareepish.
[The male Poochyena grinned at the Lilligant.]
Yes, yes we did meet…and it’s probably one of the greatest moments ever in the history of Pokemonkind.
[The little dog pokemon smiled and wagged his tail, the fluffy appendage sweeping across the ground, knocking up a bit of dirt in a tiny little dust cloud.]
Oui, I suppose you can say I warmed up to her? She couldn’t reach her own ear, so I offered to scratch it for her. Hee, your ‘certain spot’ is votre ventre? Façon adorable!
[/The Lilligant giggled a bit, and nodded at Fisi’s next statement.]
Oui, or when he isn’t sneezing.
[/When the Poochyena began wagging his tail, Joli laughed some more, her leaf-hands covering her mouth and her big, doe-like eyes closing.]
Hee, you are quite the character, Fisi. I was a bit wary of you at first, but now I can say that I do not regret meeting you, mon ami.
Woah, you knew I was a Lillipup! I’m Rainbow. I live close to Treasure Town. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a Pokemon like you before. What kind of Pokemon are you?
Hee, of course! I believe there is a family of Lillipups and their evolutions living here! I too live here in Treasure Town. I am what’s known as a Lilligant. It is a pleasure to meet you, Rainbow.
[Sirius smiled at Joli, happy that she seemed to oblige his wish for the joke to end…at least with one person.]
Thanks….it means a lot…
[His tail slowly began to wag; something it had not done in a very long time…]
[/Joli returned the smile, which only grew as Sirius’ tail began to wag.]
Hee, it’s no problem Sirius. It is only common courtesy. Oh—! J’ai une question. Does being a Shiny Pokémon affect your strength?
Hello pretty lady! Wow, you smell like flowers. You’re pretty too, but I bet a lot of people already tell you that.
Bonjour, Lillipup! [/She giggles and blushes slightly] Hee hee, I thank you for the compliments. Yes, I do get told of my appearance often, as I am sure a cute Lillipup like you does too. Mon nom es Joli. Who might you be?
[The Joltik visibly relaxed, adopting a warm look in response to the Lilligant’s kindness. She steeled her nerve and tried repeating the foreign word.]
Bonjeer.
[The Joltik winced, realizing that wasn’t quite right. She instinctively apologized for her slip-up.]
Oh, no, I’m s-sorry!
[She tackled it again…]
Bonjuer.
[…and again…]
Bonjure? Eek, I’m so sorry!
Mon ami, do not apologize. It is perfectly alright. We all learn at different paces—Arceus knows I was not an expert when I first began learning. Now, essayons encore une fois. Make your mouth form a shape similar to this, and try again.
[/The Lilligant gestures to her small lips and the small ‘o’ shape they formed.]
Bon-jour.
