sing along! (layla)

[Susanna Rosenbaum]

It turns out, it didn’t take much to set up a recording space. A cheap microphone, a cardboard box, some foam lining, and a computer were all you really needed. And, given Adeen’s adoration of singing and Brock’s budding interest, the coordinator was all too happy to pick it up for them. It wouldn’t take up too much space in his apartment.

With a canvas tote bag filled with today’s finds, he, Koda, and Adeen made their way through town. The growlithe was beside herself with joy! Recording equipment! She’d only liked to sing for her own pleasure, but Sue was serious enough about her interests to get her something to record with!

“Let’s see… You learn Outrage super late,” he said, nose in his pokedex. “But, we could see about teaching you Snarl or Round.” He clicked the device closed as they came to a stop before a large green space in the midst of the city. “Actually, Round might be good if Brock can learn it, too! You’d battle well together!”

Adeen’s tail wagged a mile a minute. “Really?! I’d love a tutor move! Oh, but there’s a lot we need to get… Are you sure you’re balancing everything well?”

Sue shrugged, thinking of his late nights lately with the odd jobs. He was still trying to figure out what he was going to do until his coordinator career took off, but people at least looked at videos from his debut performance. He just needed to make a real impression, then everything would be okay.

“Eh… It’s fine.”

Koda, trusting in Sue’s plan and thus uninterested in whatever was going on, squeaked in delight. “I see Layla!! Laaaaylaaaaa!” Way to squeak across the tiny park. “Layla, hiii!”

It had been so long since Layla had last been to Polade city, so long in fact that the ranger woman truly could not remember the last time in which she had actually come to this large city - but then again such a detail mattered not for regardless of when she had last been here if ever she were here visiting the large city for she were here now. And unsurprisingly though the ranger woman were partly here for work related reasons - for her pokemon needed to get used to the larger and more bustling cities such as this was for the potential occasions where she wouldbe required or otherwise needed to linger in such places - Layla also just wanted to have a look around Polade and see what were on offer here.

For the descriptions and the like regarding Polade in no manner did the place justice, but then Layla had been prepared for such a thing thus she would be ensuring to make all the more effort to ensure that her current comoany would not find themselves wandering off too far, though thankfully however as it would come to pass there would be little need for her to have been worrying about such a thing. For the small Peppit and Litten that were keeping the pale haired short woman company would be sticking relatively close to Layla as they passed through the library district and headed towards what were meant to be a large green space or park just beyond it, the mere thought of such a place were certainly appealing.

"Alright you two, this looks a good place to relax a while - just remember not to go too far or cause too much trouble to anyone else while we are here." Well, not as if there were many others around that the two small beings would cause trouble with and quite frankly there were a greater chance that people would approach the pair given how 'cute' they both were but it never hurt to ensure they understood all the same.

However as it would come to turn out Layla's attention would not linger upon her own pokemon pair for too long, not when a mildly distant yet surprisingly loud squeaking would reached the ranger woman's ears - this would be more than enough to get the pale haired woman's gaze lifting and begin searching the area for the source. A faint flicker and amused smile would come to form upon the short woman's features at eventually spotting the small Woobat and a small soft chuckle escaping her in turn.

"Well if it isn't my other favourite small, cute and fluffy boy." Would the woman find herself commenting.
