He absolutely did not want to deal with this right now as he was sopping wet and trying to get these Pokemon taken care of. But of course his luck had never been good and his timing was just as bad as he resisted the urge to scowl. "Are you talking about yourself now? About yourself to yourself. A strange habit." But he wrinkled his nose and tried to keep himself under control.

Because as he looked over at the bothersome man the first thing he noticed was wet shirts and wet pecs. Once again. Near his face. Which meant his composure was constantly at risk as long as he looked. So of course he went to look at literally anything else. Like the sky. Not that the sky was doing anything other than dropping rain on his face. "Disgusting weather." But it wasn't for him to really worry about.

"I did, that's the only reason I'm out here." That and he had been trying to catch some Pokemon. But that was neither here nor there when they couldn't really do anything other than evacuate. And his Pokemon was absolutely useless at the moment being a fire type caught in the rain. If only he'd gotten something actually useful for once in one of these games. With a bit of disdain he reached down and picked up a Caterpie that was moving a little bit too slowly and put it on one of the higher branches.

At that it began to zoom faster, no longer encumbered by rocks and roots in the way.

This was not how he wanted today to go. He wanted to enjoy the event and maybe get a neat item. Not run into this weirdo who liked feet. He would never be convinced that Furrlicity Purrfection wasn't obsessed with them. Just because of how he had denied it.

As he was about to say something he jerked forward slightly because of the weight, throwing his hands out in front of himself to stop from falling. And unfortunately those hands landed somewhere firm. Again. On Furrlicity's chest. Quickly he pulled his hands back as though they burned him and put his nose into the air, gently leaning down so that the Treecko could take it's leave whenever it felt like it.

"Why would I miss someone like you? You gave yourself cat ears. What kind of person does something like that?"

A weirdo probably. A big big big weirdo. Anything to deflect the fact that his face was burning up in real life.

Jiaozi nodded, tucked under one of the larger leaves to keep her tail from getting soaked anyways. It was stupid of her trainer to let her out here while it was raining and storming. Even stupid of her to do it. But what could you do really?

< this guy was there when my trainer was getting his running shoes. >

She held her tail out for him to use, hoping that he wouldn't get big gops of water on it and kill her instantly. She'd already died once thanks to her trainer and she didn't want to do it again thanks to her weirdo trainers friend's pokemon. It would suck.

"I am not!"

And to prove his point he did what any reasonable person would do, tugged on Furrlicity Purrfection's cat tail to make his point. Not that he was sure what point that would really make but certainly it would probably make one. Maybe deep down he just wanted to see if it was real...
