keychained | 013; [video/action for Cherrygrove]

[if there's one thing Sora here is really good at, it's comfort-- whether it be an enthusiastic pep talk, or telling a silly joke or making a silly face to get a laugh out of whoever needs it, Sora can and does deliver! he's usually pretty successful at getting a smile, at least, though he's better at comforting when he has an experience of his own that he can relate to whatever's happening with a friend.]

[and... he's been trying his best with his friends this week. today, however, Sora will be marching into completely uncharted territory experience-wise when he turns on the feed-- it's so unfamiliar, in fact, that he doesn't even recognize it.]

... There's something wrong with Puddles.

[at least, he wouldn't be able to recognize it on a Pokémon. the feed turns to show the edge of Cherrygrove and Route 30, where the aforementioned Girafarig is standing. just standing there. and staring off down Route 30 longingly. maybe he missed a patch of grass on the way down here?]

I tried taking him to the Pokécenter, and they looked at him... Then Nurse Joy just kinda laughed and told me he's fine. But he's not! Ever since we got here, he's just been standing right there in the same spot like a zombie. Puddles! C'mere!

[Puddles bleats in acknowledgment, but does not move, nor does he refrain from staring off down Route 30 like there's a special Girafarigs-only treasure down that road or something. Sora sighs.]

I don't get it.

[a girl worth fighting for- I mean]

A date, huh? I bet he'll like that!

[would Riku care what she looks like? or does it only matter what she cooks like?]

Yeah! I've already figured out what you're supposed to do on dates, so Puddles has this one in the bag.

[beef, pork, chicken, mm! gotta ask him one of these days]

I'm sure he'll charm that other Girafarig, no problem!

[and then Riku will be shuffled in to Rise's matchmaker plans.]

I hope so... Puddles deserves a nice girlfriend. I don't want to think about what would happen if she said no.

[Ven and Sora could help, too]

Well, if she did for some reason, that just means somebody special's still waiting for him.

[it will be glorious. matchmaking with a side dish of derp.]

You mean if she's not his true love?

[delicious derp]

Right! If it doesn't work out, that means he just hasn't found the right one, but I'm sure he will.

If this goes over well, Ven, let's find Riku a girlfriend, too!

Alright! I bet we'll find him the best on there is.

What kinda girl do you suppose he likes?

Hm...bet he'd need somebody smart. He seems like he'd like challenges.

Hmm... She'd probably have to be a good fighter, too...

And she should be cute.

Yeah! Know anybody like that, Ven?

Hm, maybe...Rika?

[she's adorable and Ven thinks she's the definition of strong]

Rika and Riku... Well, if anything, their names were made for each other!

...Hey, that's true! I hadn't thought about that before.

So is she really cute? I wonder if they know each other already...

Uh-huh! Rika's a really cute girl.

[He still d'awws at the memory of a Drifloon playing peek-a-boo with her]

We can ask her if she wants to go on a date with Riku, then!

[... he foresees Riku facepalming for a good ten minutes in the future, but it's for a good cause!]

Okay!

[it's all for love, Riku]

It'd probably need to be in Goldenrod, though... Kaito told me you're supposed to go see a movie, then go to dinner-- and Riku's supposed to pay, and give Rika flowers, and tell her she's pretty.

I think that's where Rika is now anyway, so that's probably easiest...once we actually get over there, anyway.

That works out perfect! We'll be able to get both Riku and Puddles ready for their dates.

Sounds like a plan to me!
