Enter the Girl Wonder(?)!

[newbarkflirt]

[Walking around Levanta Town, you might catch a whiff of an entrancing smell- something like flowers, honey, and all good things in the world. Following the smell will lead you out into the fields, to the crest of a pleasant little hill. There, you come upon a picnic.]

[A trainer sits in the middle of the blanket, surrounded by sweet treats. Cookies, tiny cakes, fruit tarts, anything you can imagine! A Meganium rests at the edge of the blanket- the source of the alluring Sweet Scent. The trainer adjusts her trademark black-and-gold hat with a smile.]

You're doing great, Rita! We're bound to meet some beautiful flowers this way!

[It seems like a girls' paradise... dare a boy intrude upon it?]

But some people want more! And that's fine! C'mon, Silver, they're all really good!

[passerbygirl]

When you're the one saying it, I feel like anything you think is good can't be good for me.

[newbarkflirt]

Wha- Then... then, a second opinion! Rita! Rita, should Silver try some? [Meganium is fast asleep!] Ah... Rita...

[passerbygirl]

[A fleeting smirk crosses her face at that. But then it is gone.]

...Knowing you, you wouldn't leave me alone until I tried it.

[Which is to say that she will move in to settle on the farthest possible corner of the blanket from Goldie. I will just put it as "settle" because I can't find a way to picture it as anything other than kneeling like a refined ojousama.]

[newbarkflirt]

[... pleased!] That's right! And, hey, maybe you'll find something you looooooooove.

[passerbygirl]

I won't. [Though she is secretly curious enough to actually give in to the suggestion and risk setting a precedent.] There's no danger of finding anything I love here.

[newbarkflirt]

[Your words are like a knife, Silver!]

Hey, Silver, try this eclair! It's good, it's good!

[passerbygirl]

[Good, they're supposed to be.

She gives the offered eclair a skeptical look.] ...It looks like a mutated cake.

[newbarkflirt]

Eh? Mutated? It would be nicer to say "evolved"!

[passerbygirl]

If it was evolved, it would be bigger. If anything, it looks like a less useful form.

[But she will take the eclair AND EAT IT and take a bite, anyway.

...Is she supposed to say anything about it?]

[newbarkflirt]

Bellossom gets smaller when it evolves. And cuter.

[passerbygirl]

..................

[Point. Excluding the pointless addendum.]

Humph. It still looks less filling.

[newbarkflirt]

Maybe it sacrificed HP for Delicious Attack! [THIS IS A STUPID, CONVOLUTED EVOLUTION METAPHOR.]

1/2

[passerbygirl]

It wasn't --

[passerbygirl]

[...Did she really just nearly say it wasn't very effective without thinking? Did she nearly accidentally extend this stupid metaphor? Did she nearly accidentally make a joke? The horror.]

...It's not a Pokémon.

[newbarkflirt]

[Hee!]

Well, try it. Is it good?

[passerbygirl]

[The moment of truth!]

..................

...It's okay.
