{ HodgepodgeofHooligans } - Star Approaches Eclipse, Staring At Them For A Moment Before Burping Up A

{ Previously… }

While the Arcanine was talking, Star had decided to roll themselves up off of the ground, shaking off the dust and taking a moment to relocate their pet beetle Big before picking them up and letting it crawl on their back. They were honestly getting very bored of these random strangers talking to them and a little hungry as well, thinking they should probably head back home for a snack.

…

Wait.

A Stink bug? What stink bug? Where???

Confused, Starflower looked around, then looked back at the Arcanine for a moment and followed his gesture to Big, who at this point was resting in their fur.

“St—“

“STINK BUG?!”

It was as if a switch had been flicked in that moment. One would’ve thought Star had used Hyper Voice with how loud they suddenly barked at the Arcanine! Whipping their tiny body around and huffing at the dog, they continued their barking in full force.

“BIG ISNT A STINK BUG, YOU BIG POOP-HEAD! STINK BUGS BELONG TO THE “PEN-TOMATO” FAMILY! BIG IS A HERCULES BEETLE AND THEY BELONG IN THE “DYE-NASTY” FAMILY!!”

They honestly couldn’t believe the nerve this dog had. The bugs were clearly two different species! They don’t even look alike! Aren’t they an adult? They’re supposed to know everything!

“BESIDES, BIG DOESN’T SMELL LIKE YOU DO, STINKY! HE DIDN’T CALL YOU NAMES SO YOU BETTER SAY SORRY!!”

Nearby, Stars’ screeching hadn’t gone unnoticed, quickly catching the ear of the older Vulpix as they whipped around toward the sound.

“Oh gods—“

Taking off towards the loud display, they clumsily burst through the brush and landed into the scene at a short distance, immediately focusing on the tiny kit in the middle of their tantrum apart from the dog sitting before them.

“STAR!!”

"I used to have the skill as a Sylveon, but this new body of mine certainly has a learning curve. I don't think I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so please come by Mt. Moon, if that's not an imposition?"

"Thank you so much for offering. Please give my regards to Hana too!"

The child seemed puzzled at the Swirlixs’ response, giving their head a tilt for a moment.

…

Why would it be smaller if I eat a lotta bugs? Should I eat more bugs???

They barely started to think about it when a slice of cheesecake was presented to them, it’s sweet aroma filling their nose and thoughts immediately. It smelled nothing like cheese, but still deliciously sweet and enticing. Leaning forward with their tongue sticking out, they give the treat a curious lick.

You could almost see the moment the sweet taste hit them like a truck, as in the next moment the dessert was gone in a whole bite, almost taking the limb along with it! You’re not entirely sure if they chewed at all with how fast it was eaten.

That was the best cake I’ve ever tasted ever.

Gimmie more? Please?? I want more!

Their eyes were wide and even more dazzling, their tail wagging a mile a minute as they pleaded with the swirlix.

…Uh.

“Big” isn’t food, he’s my friend…

“Small Dad” says you don’t eat friends…

He’s a “Die-nasty Herculease” Beetle. Small Dad got him for me.

His name is “Big”, because he’s big…

( @ Ivy ) Hmm…I guess I’ll ask the most obvious question. Shapeshifting is a natural ability for me, but for you it looks like it involves some extra work and even multiple sources, like a humans’ soul. Were you human in a past life, or did you find one on your own? Is the old form of this “soul” the form you take when you change shape or did you mold it into your preferred appearance? - Hana

Mod Note: Ivy's dialogue has been separated for easy understanding. Italics belong to the blue text box while non-italics belong to the red text box. Thank you.

"I was a trainer. An Arceus user or just a human to be exact…" "I'd really rather not speak my name for personal reasons, but it would be a joy to hear it once more." "I wasn't anyone special but I used to be the old East Mouth curator, but that was a very long time ago."

"We would spend so much time together, I really don't think there was ever a time we were apart."

"Everything was perfect..."

"Everything went downhill from there, I thought I had longer, but I was wrong. So very wrong, I was so tired."

"I did everything I could for her. But. It wasn't enough."

"It's not one I happened to pick and choose, It was an impulsive choice I made when I was younger."

"I would never disrespect my old form. Her form... I only added myself to it over the years. Even so. I can't 'mold' it. I just change my appearance. As any human would."

"But, It's still mine and It's still me. I just can't have it all of the time now. At least not forever, as much as I do miss it, being human all the time, I cheated fated, and this is my punishment. So I will accept it, Be as it may." Ivy softly sighed, despite her emotionless exterior she seemed almost... Sad? Though it didn't show for long.

-> Ivy doesn't seem like she wants to talk about it anymore... at least for right now. -> Any questions related will be set aside for later. -> Ivy's profile has been updated.

Hm…?

The child pokes their head out from the bush, watching the other two Pokémon approach them. In their mouth, a large Hercules Beetle gently wriggles about.

…?

Star??? Starflower! Where are you?

Great…I turn my back for half a second…

I’m sure they’re nearby, they couldn’t have gone too far…

[ Someone seems to be searching for Starflower… ]

Flan floats over to the young vulpix and circles around their head, marveling at their fur. "Oh your fur is so cool!!! I wish my fur glittered that often as a shiny, it makes you look soooo pretty!" She settles down and then looks at the beetle crawling around "So uhm, why are you here playing here by yourself with this bug? Do you collect…..them?"

Starflower

Big likes being outside, but he’s usually sleeping during the day and Small Dad says I’m not allowed to be outside at night because it’s not safe, so we go outside during the day sometimes.

Sometimes I’ll find some cool bugs and eat them. I like to collect them for my Bug Club

…

How come you smell like pie?

“This one is a Cheri topped cheesecake. I’m sure it’ll taste better than a bug would!”
