Abner nodded when Goldeen said they were tasty. His face went red a little at seeing her usual smile before he snapped back upon hearing her ask about what he had planned. "Oh, right! Well, the village nearby is not far from here. It's where I grew up. The place is right next to a river. I've told my relatives we were coming." His ears picked up the sound of someone, most likely a Mankey, leaping from tree to tree, to which he gave a smirk while looking sideways. "Speaking of which, one should be pouncing on me in three... two... one..."
"Got'cha!" A female Mankey pounced towards Abner, a Primeape, right on schedule. The older brother rough housed with her until he had her in a headlock. "No, you don't, little sister!"
The female Mankey, named Aarika, smiled mischievously. "Aw, man! Can't you go easy on me a little, big brother?"
"In your dreams, Aarika!" Abner let go then glanced towards Goldeen. He imagined his own family's vibe was a lot rougher than that of Goldeen's, though he decided to worry about that later. "Well, here's my mischievous little sister, Aarika! Don't let the long hair fool you: she is quite the tomboy, most of the time!"
Aarika held out her hand as only a tomboy would while she smiled more genuinely. "Nice to meet ya!"

Mewtwo nodded elegantly in affirmation that he heard what the Bellsprout said. Kenneth's nod was a bit more like what fighter's would typically be. They both were glad to see Lily for the first time, though, again, their reactions were different. Mewtwo grinned softly at her friendly and cheerful vibe, while Ken went wide-eyed at the poke-woman's beauty, blushing slightly. As for Mew, she giggled softly at her father's friend's reaction, finding it cute and refreshing.
Mewtwo responded to Lily's query with, "We most certainly are! We've got our own little crew to meet up with us in town, as well!"
That was when Kenneth snapped back into reality. "Yeah, we are."
Along the way, Mewtwo said, "By the way, I am Mewtwo. And this adorable daughter of mine is Mew."
Mew levitated herself while waving her hand, which was covered in her long sleeve, just as the other was. As she did so, she gave an enthusiastic, "Hi!"
Kenneth waved, as well, albeit slightly shyly. "I'm Kenneth Yamada, a Blaziken that fought in Claris Town's Fighter Division Tournament a few times." Glancing away, he added, "Heard you met Abner, the Primeape, and fought alongside him against Darkrai. Some of the people in different places said he took down
tons of that guy's goons with fist and foot. Personally, I wouldn't have expected anything less from him, since he managed to beat me, fair and square, during the championship round of that final tournament in town before it was blown up sometime later."
Mewtwo nodded. "Ah, yes! The heir to the role of Chieftain of the Blue Fist Clan! Poke-People from
their villages are quite often resilient and skilled in unarmed combat! That
is a massive reputation, if I do say so, myself!"
Kenneth glared at his friend, "Mewtwo, buddy, don't you think that, as the heir to the Yamada Clan, I am aware of the Blue Fists' capabilities?"

Raichu (Eitan Jager) and Pikachu (Adara Jager)
"Eitan, please don't overwork yourself!" Adara always was worried for her big brother's health. It was a sibling thing, your sibling(s) may get on your nerves, but you still love them.
"Coming from the mouth of someone who practices excessively on her speed and agility to make up for a natural lack of strength so to stand a chance against guys?" Eitan knew better than to hit that sensitive spot, yet he was not exactly himself, at the moment, since he just got up from a long nap to recover from a head injury he got from a battle a while ago.
Adara waved her arms in obvious anger, "
Hey! You
know I don't want to be relying on you to keep safe for the rest of my life! You're
always looking out for me
and getting yourself hurt in the process!"
"So...?"
The female Pikachu pointed her finger at her Raichu brother.
"What do you mean, "So..."? What kind of response is that?""Whatever. We're here."
Adara snapped back into her normal self to see two grass-type poke-women already in town. "Maybe they're here to help, too?"
"Probably. There's also a Tauros, some other guys, and a Blissey nurse, who..." Eitan stopped midway through his response as he had his eyes on the adorable Blissey a few blocks away and his face went red. He snapped out of his daydreaming once Adara playfully poked him while having a mischievous grin on her face. Siblings tend to know more than they let on about each other.
Adara continued to smirk while saying, "Looks like you have a crush!"
Flustered, Eitan shouted towards his sister with, "Hush!" He realized too late he was too loud, as he noticed all eyes were now on him.
Adara waved while calling out, "It's okay! Just some sibling talk, over here!"
Eitan decided to make his recovering by shouting out, "Y-yeah! I-I was just reminded of something
really embarrassing!" Of course, the poor Raichu laughed nervously afterwards.
Adara took the initiative to make the introductions. "I'm Adara, and this Raichu here is my older brother, Eitan!"
