002 ✭ video | action for violet city

Question! [ Xiaoqiao is sitting next to an inflatable kiddie pool (it's wailmer shaped, with fins and everything, pink wailmer. she paid extra for the pink) while a few of her pokemon are training not too far from her. Shishi, her Lucario, darts on and off of the video as he dodges fire attacks.

...some of those Embers come pretty close to Xiaoqiao but she either doesn't notice or doesn't care. ]

So...is this normal? [ totally ignoring the kids behind her and instead fishes Xiao'yu out of the kiddie pool to show her to the camera. Xiaoqiao points at a few spots on the Feebas that seems to be...shining a bit? Xiao'yu is just very faintly glittering. it's so subtle it could just be water but she's been staring at it for days and knows it's not. ]

I thought she got something stuck on her or something, but it doesn't come off when I wash it.

[ ...how do you wash a fish? Xiao'yu seems to roll her eyes at the reminder of that particular event. ] Is she becoming discoloured? I hope she's not getting sick...but she still has plenty of energy.

[ she sighs, and she's about to put Xiao'yu back in the water just as a stray Ember attack is tumbling dangerously close. ]

You guys need to be more careful. [ oh, so she is aware of them. she could just step aside, instead she decides to flip the kiddie pool and at her two pokemon. Shishi is drenched, looks like Flaming Rabbit got out of the way though. ]

You should have dodged that! [ she spares a moment to turn off the gear (she remembered!) but it's back to training for everyone. except Xiao'yu, she can just lounge peacefully in the pool again once Xiaoqiao fills it up again. ]
