You're hilarious. [He's not taking the bait.] Fine, have it your way. Let's see how long you can deal with not having any arms or legs.

[Sentret seems to feel pretty awkward about this whole thing.]

[33elk]

[ The best thing about illusions? He still has them, and is totally keeping that secret. But he does move rather well for this form. ]

So. We're meant to be protecting you and the workers, then, Mister Sentret? Sounds easy enough.

[friendlyflower]

[Sentret nods, seemingly glad to be back on track. The duo is meant to escort him through the discordant North Forest so he can join the workers at the construction site.]

Then let's go! Golly, with two of me, you have nothing to fear!

[He's taken to mostly ignoring Oko, focusing on the path ahead. He stops the group when an angry-looking Shroomish comes through the thicket ahead.]

Hey, 'Flowey.' You know how we should handle this one, don'tcha?

[33elk]

[ A little bounce, a little laugh. ] Why, of course.

[ He's not doing anything yet. Clearly, he's letting the actual Flowey go first. But he does know exactly what he's planning. ]

[friendlyflower]

[This person wants to be him so bad? Let's see them really prove it.

He chucks a Blast Seed at the Shroomish. The ensuing explosion echoes through the forest; a flock of Pidgey fly from the trees. The Shroomish lies singed in a crater: alive, but knocked out.

Unfortunately, the explosion drew more attention. Sentret bounces on his tail anxiously and points out another Shroomish- several times larger than the first one- coming out of the brush. Before Flowey can react, it paralyzes him with a Stun Spore!]

Hee hee...

[Paralyzed as he is, he manages to place- gently, so it doesn't detonate- a Blast Seed in front of Oko.]

Your turn.

[33elk]

[ Oko watches all of this - ah, so that's how the little thing does things. But instead of throwing the seed - he gives the slightest of smirks, even as his Zorua expressions come out more. ]

Oh, come now. That's all you can do, you overgrown mushroom?

[ Oko used Torment! Before his Illusion drops, him using his tail to bounce the seed at the Shroomish. ]

[friendlyflower]

[Beautiful-- truly beautiful. He couldn't have done it better, himself. Flowey lets out a cackle.]

So that's your true form. A little something like... this?

[Ever since SINTO hit his face with glitter, it hasn't been quite right. It should be a hard shell, but it melts like goop and rearranges until he looks like he has a Zorua's face. While he can't replicate the tail, he can use his stem and leaves to bat one last Blast Seed at the Shroomish.

Unnerved by the transforming Pokemon and how quickly they defeated the Shroomish, the other forest Pokemon back off-- at least for now.]

[33elk]

[ Oh, he likes that. There's a cackle, the opposite reaction then many would expect. His cackle also seems to scare off the other forest Pokemon a bit as well... it sounds unlike a Pokemon. ]

Really, true form implies I have a true form.

[friendlyflower]

[Interesting. He was annoyed at first by Oko's amused detachment, like he's above it all, but-- really, who is he to judge? And he has the feeling that this stranger has earned the right to feel smug.]

Golly, you must be a force to be reckoned with! [He lets his face turn back to normal.] If shapeshifting is second nature to you, then how come you were mimicking lil ol' me instead of, say, a great big Dragonite? [Like his other friend--]
