Misfits 4 - A Friend at Last

Description

We made it through the tunnels, with few skirmishes here and there. Calvin OHKO'ed our catch for that route, a Geodude, which irked me...but oh well. We made it to a beautiful little town called Floroama. They have a real thing for flowers here - the fields are covered in them, pots of them on every flat surface, even the roofs of the buildings are starting to sprout daisies and poppies. Sir Calvin seems right at home, Gilly seems calmer, and Mo seems happier than he's been in a while. Still lonely, though, poor thing. I do my best, but he could really use another friend in the team.

Which leads me to later, when we went to check out the route beside the town. On the banks of the river, we ran into - well, a Buizel. I had Mo fight him, since he'd have the least likely chance of KO'ing the Buizel. One Scratch, right across the face - the otter barely survived it, but he got up, grinning. Then I got him with a Pokeball.

His name's Rudder, level 7. Lonely nature, somewhat stubborn. And he's fat.

I've never seen a fat Buizel before. Immediately he was friendly and cheerful to Mo, which shocked him at first. Most people cringe when they first see him, or stare. But Rudd threw his paw around Mo's shoulder and congratulated him for his powerful attack.

"Um..." Mo said, uncertainly, "You...don't mind my...?"

Rudder laughed. "Oh, come on, what do you want me to do? Scream an' swoon like an old Wormadam? What do I care what you look like? Look at me." He patted his sizable belly. "I ain't some blossoming beauty m'self, fella."

Mo smiled and laughed. Rudd gave him an appraising look, then nodded. "See, you're like me. We ain't exactly the picture of normal, huh? I can bet you've never been the popular one." Mo shook his head, and Rudder continued, "Well, neither have I. Back home, folks called me the Ruddtub, and lots of other less savory things. So how about we be friends, then? Us misfits, we gotta stick together, yeah?"

From that moment on, Mo and Rudd have been best friends.

Sir Calvin doesn't particularly like Rudder - he mostly ignores him, considering him "beneath him" because of his type. Gilly, on the other hand, adores Rudder - mostly because of the jokes she can make about him. She loves calling him Rudderbutter or Rudderball. Rudder takes all the jokes in stride, and even dishes a few out himself, which only encourages her. He calls her Gillyweed, Gillywilly, or Sillygilly.

Overall, morale on the team has improved greatly.

Also, after we caught Rudder and trained for a bit, a little girl came asking for our help. There were people in weird costumes taking over the nearby Windworks, where her father worked. We beat them in a battle, including their leader, a lady with weird red hair. Rudder and Mo took the battle, easily. As they ran off, I think they called themselves Team Galactic or something. We've seen folks like that before - I wonder what they're up to?
