Arietta wanted a walk. Just a casual walk, nothing to it- where she could breathe, let air circulate, and just soend time with her mons. No live-streams, no chaos. Just... just chilling, and jamming. A small, strawberry speaker was attached to her bag, which she moved to hook up to her bluetooth as she'd begun walking. The route was relatively empty, and even if somebody saw her they might just view her as a girl having fun with her mons! On her shoulder, of course, was her darling Aumia, who was chipper as she could be. Excited chitters left her with every little thing Arietta prepared for her little walk, encouraging and comforting both at the same time.
Forte was also waddling along behind her, pace slow and body big- he towered over her, but Arietta adored his presence. He was a cute, if not large snorlax and she knew he secretly loved music like she did. Treble, her Chingling, floated along behind her, more-so for sightseeing than anything. He was indifferent to music, though he wouldn't mind doing a few in-air tricks to the beat if it meant Arietta got him treats. She also had her two eggs neatly tucked away in her bag, it was almost soothing knowing that their presence was there, and if they did hatch... then it'd be to music!
One step- two- the girl began going through her playlist, humming ever so softly... All eyes on me... the haunting- oh! Oh my arceus- Honey Honey?! Yessssss, don't mind if she does! With a sma tap and a soft giggle Arietta prepared for what would be a fun walk, just spending time with her mons. It was gonna be great.

As the beat started up she was more than ready to start softly singing to herself, maybe bounce Aumia around a bit, see what sort of tricks Ching-Ling could do, the usual, but right before the lyrics could begin suddenly her vision settled on a woman who seemed to be resting on the side of the road, feeding one of her pokemon berries. She was just chilling! Maybe Arietta could get past her and just be on her way- but of course as she began further down the path the lyrics started up, and Forte immediatly began stomping along, loudlt, to the lyrics.
Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha, honey, honey
And that was enough to distract the lady, whos' gaze immediately flicked over to Arietta's, looking more angry than anything. Oh- oh great."Can you quiet that noise? Some of us just wanna rest here, love." Uh... noise? Arietta tilted her head at the lady, the lyrics gently pushing through her mind. The lady of course let out a huff, standing upright and bringing an accusatory hand forward. "I'm trying to focus here- and that peppy nonsense is making me feel sick!"
Arietta moved then to pause the music, an uncomfortable grin now on her face... how could music make her feel sick? Forte wasn't very happy at all with the music pausing, and let out a soft groan, arms falling to her sides. "And walking in uncomfortable silence makes me feel sick, i'll be out of your hair in a few paces anyway, ma'am..." Arietta attempted to reason with her, however the lady just clicked her tongue. "And yet that song will haunt me for days-"
Forte really liked that song! And this lady was putting it on hold. The pokemons eyes flicked accusingly at the Golett, and without so much as a warning the Snorlax launched forward into a Covet. Oh shit- oh fuck he was initiating battle! Arietta was terrible at this, and her eyes widened slightly, damn it Forte! This was supposed to be a peaceful walk! Arietta quickly checked on her eggs before shifting, rushing forward in an attempt to gently pull the Snorlax towards her and get away from the now raging Golett- uhhh- uhhh-
"I'm so sorry ma'am- i'll turn it off until i'm like... out of range, I promise!" and then she was rushing off, attempting (and failing) to drag the large Snorax behind her by the tip of his claw., mumbling, "Give it a minute then we can replay the song, yeah Forte? Abba will be back in a second, don't worry!"
Thankfully, the lady wasn't chasing, and all Ariettas mons managed to keep past, Aumia holding onto the top of her shirt slightly to keep balance.

Forte wasn't very happy at all to be dragged away, he wanted to show that lady not to mess with ABBA! But Arietta's grip on his claws was a little tight as she tried to lead the nine foot Snorlax forward- he towered over her but it was fine! He was grumbling a little, and Aumia on Arietta's shoulder tried to chitter a little to calm him- but... he didn't exactly hear her, being massive and all. But! It was fine! The girl kept glancing behind her shoulder to ensure the lady was folowing, and to judge the distance before she could start playing her music, she almost didn't notice and her chingling squealed slightly to grasp her attention...
Huh? Arietta's gaze flicked to the mon, who was circling a small bush they'd been passing, pointing out... a berry- oh! No! An apricorn! That would actually be so cool for her farm? She could grow it and stuff! Arietta moved to gently let go of Forte's claw, instead going towards the bush to pluck the Apricorn and search for more- however it seemed the others were either still growing or dying- which... was an odd combination, but she didn't know enough about Apricorns to wanna risk it.
Forte impatiently stood by her side, grumbling once more and there was a pause... yknow what- she was far enough away from the lady, right? It wouldn't hurt to put the music back on! She gave the massive Snorlax a smile before reclicking on her speaker, the mon almost immediately going back to stomping along as the pace was picked up once more.
Honey honey, nearly killed me, aha, honey honey.
...OH. Okay, lyrics. You're really gonna do Arietta like that? Well, she kept walking! It was fine! Eggs in her bag, tune on her speakers. This was a walk she could enjoy.

Arietta was softly humming, pep to her step as she continued down the path. Chingling was flying circles around her, slowing down and speeding up consistent to the tune blasting while Aumia bopped up and down on Arietta's shoulders in time with the music. Forte was a few pavces ahead, stomping into the dirt with enough force to send some of the speckles upwards into the air- which was why it was good Arietta was keeping a decent pace behind- she wouldn't want her outfit to get dirty at all!
To her surprise as she was walking the route Arietta noticed... a bird pokemon dancing along to the beat of her music to the sound of the path and a big smile graced her features- awwww, that's so cute! Maybe... hmmm... "Hey, Forte!" Said Snorlax turned to face her, a confused expression on his face, and ARietta gestured to the softly dancing Oricorio with her head. "...Wanna see who loves this song better?"
What followed was a dance contest to 'honey honey' like no other. Snorlax was stomping around, utilising metronome to get moves. He started with dragon rage, pushing both feet into the ground, spinning once before roaring a purple beam at the Oricorio. The Oricorio defended with an Air Cutter, and then Snorlax hit with a brick break, closing the distance to the rhythem. The bird was losing his own rhythm, stunned by the attack, and so...
Honey, honey, let me feel it, aha, honey, honey
As the beat hit, Arietta moved to twirl once before launching a great ball, a call of "Do we have a winner?" leaving her?

They did! The pokeball clicked and Arietta let out an excited cheer, moving in to pocket the ball before wrapping her arms around the Snorlax- or at least... semi-way around him, the pokemon being much too big to excitedly embrace. "You won! Your love for 'honey honey' is shown!" And Forte was super excited about that. Letting out a loud cry a stubby hand was lazily waved in victory, and like that Arietta and her group carried forward.
Except this time Arietta was softly singing. "But I like just who you are~ and honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone- beast!" A soft laugh along with the song, like what the actress did followed. She moved then to point at the mouse mon on her shoulder, smiling. "Squeak the next bit, Aum!"

Aumia had begun squeaking in tune with the lyrics, the little mon shifting from one side to another while bopping on Arietta's shoulder- maybe she wasn't very in tune, but damn was the little mouse pokemon grooving. The chingling had begun flying higher then dropping down low in tune to the beat, depending on how loud the audio went, while Forte continued leading the group down the path, literally just enjoying his time. However, quickly the final beats to honey honey began to fade, and in mingled a new song.
Long long time ago , i had my own little show...
Ariettas eyes widened,oh- oh! She loved this one! All eyes on me! She let out a loud woop, raising the volume slightly, and Aumia had begun gently bopping from side to side to the jazzy tunes. Arietta had almost immediatly began singing, while Forte had moved back a few paces to be further next to Ara, wanting to hear the music.
Chingling, on the other hand had noticed an adoring fan peeking out from beyond the trees attempted to fly infrotn of Arietta to grab her attention, cooing softly. The girl blinked at the chingling, softly carrying"...But he took the spotlight, shining so bright - Left me to fade away..." before letting her eyes follow to where the chingling lead, focusing on a huge hiding... budew?
They seemed to hide seeing Ariettas gaze, but the girl advanced, now slowing her approach. "But honey now the turn is mine~" Aumia let out a curious noise, who was this Budew, and why were they so big? While Snorlax had stopped in the middle of the path, nose scrunched a little.
"Hey, buddy- you can sing along, it's okay! I won't hurt!" Arietta spoke softly inbetween versed, continuing to make her way forward before being by the tree, lowering herself to where budew stood and offering a hand, gently mumbling the next set of lyrics.
A devil made from heaven , and sent from above...
The Budew went to flinch away however hearing Ara's voice thought against it, instead staring at her, shaking softly. The girl continued ever so gently rubbing her finger to the side of the budews bud, attempting to calm it down.
Looks like Henry's got a little date, let's have some fun~
Probably now the more appropriate song to jam out to or attempt to sing softly but hey anything to calm the Budew down, whos quivers seemed to relax a little as he stared at her. A smile is what was offered as Arietta instead moved to hum the lyrics, Aumia squeaking along in tow, attempting to prompt the Budew.
We got 'lots to do little errand boy ~ Come to me at cloud nine...
The Budew made a noise, cooing ever so softly along with her words and Arietta couldn't help but grin! Ah! She shifted around and fetched out a pokeball, nudging it forward towards the Budew. "....wanna sing more with me? I can help you..."

Arietta couldn't help her excited squeal as the Budew accepted, dissapearing within the ba with a click! He'd be a great addition to her team- especially if he wanted to sing! He'd be a gorgeous Roserade one day, and hopefully she'd be able to help him get better! The song kept going as Arietta bounced back onto her feet and over to her party, grinning excitedly. "Alright! Let's keep this up!"
To be a perfect angel, some sin must be done!
Stomping forward now, down the route, Forte decided to retake his position at the front, bouncing from one side to the next as the jazzy tunes continued to flow. Chingling continued dancing around Arietta before deciding to try catch up to Forte and see if he'd wanna dance with them. Aumia, true to herself kept bouncing on Arietta's shoulder, squeaking along excitedly. "You told me what to do, and what to say, I couldn't escape~"

Ara and her team were just jamming, having some fun moments between them all- Arietta almost didn't hear the faint sound of cracking over her music, and wouldn't have if she didn't know every beat of the tune off by heart. The girl paused mid note, and confused, looked around- only to note a faint glow coming from her bag- there was a gasp, and then suddenly she was turning the music down and rushing over to the nearest rock to sit on, pulling open her bag. Chingling and Forte watched her, confused, before hurrying next to her, letting out murmours and grumbles of confusion- at least until they saw what Arietta was gently lifting out of the bag.
A glowing Sandshrew egg, already beginning to crack. Arietta... frankly, had no idea how to help a hatching egg, and the girl awkwardly held it in her lap, staring intently at it. "Uhm...uh..." it must have loved the song so much it decided to make it's presence known! Maybe.. maybe she could nickname them after the song style- little Jazzy. But! Right now her focus on was ensuring it was welcomed into this world!
Right.. okay- uh- the little egg started to take form into a Sandshrew, and Arietta smiles, awww, hey, he was super cute. She went to gently lift him up, as if to tell him 'hey welcome to the world' however an unknown threat lept from the bushes! A Chansey, who wasn't at all pleased about the way Arietta was holding the Sandshrew! The Chansey would take good care of him, don't you worry. She began running off, Sandrew held tightly. "A-Ah! Forte- after them- flop onto your back when we get into close proximity!"
And, like that, Arietta bent her arm and threw a quick ball at the Chansey, without waiting another second.

The ball made contact and... click! Suddenly the Sandshrew was mid-air, flying, but Forte mad a dive and the Sandshrew landed on the Snorlax's tummy, safe and sound. Phew! Arietta let out a loud sigh and rushed forward towards the scene of the kidnapping, Aumia handing on tightly to a few tendrils of hair to keep herself steady while Arietta's Chingling flew next to her. The Sandshrew had begun softly crying and Arietta rushed in, having to semi-scale the Snorlax who giggled slightly to bring the pokemon down, moving to cradle him into her chest.
"...Hey, hey- you're okay Jazzy!" She attempted to move him closer to keep him warm, and the pokemon softly cried into her shoulder, spooked. It's decided, Jazzy is his name! Arietta wasn't too good with words, so instead she moved to pocket the ball, knowing she'll probably have to discipline the Chansey later, before gently starting her music up again, "I'm in control~ I have the stage, you can't turn the page!... Now all eyes on me!"
A Poké Ball with a 50% chance of capturing a wild Pokémon, with a higher, 80% chance of catching any Pokémon that is encountered on Route 3A or Route 3B, or Water-types in the Crystal Lake.

Thankfully, the Sandshrew was a bigger fan of jazz than Arietta had originally thought, and Ariettas voice in tune to the song seemed the calm the mon down, who began wriggling in his own attempt to dance along. Arietta giggled, and Aumia decided it was getting a big squashy on Ariettas shoulder and scampered down, instead making a hom in Snorlax's palm. The odd group continued forward now, jazz music blasting with lyrics that Arietta probably shouldn't think too much about, Ara's chingling hovering up in down in time with the beat, the Sandshrew moving its head around, and Arietta just vibing.
Chingling, while flying, noting something else out the corner of their eye, and flew forward, retrieving two dive balls, and Arietta let out a loud woop. "The power of jazz music! That'll keep us stocked up for any peculiar encounters~" She was, for the most part, enjoying herself.
