Yesterday, Bridgette made a snowman by the pond of the Cooper farm. Button eyes, scarf, carrot nose, branches for arms. Nothing terribly exciting about that.

Today, she's gotten tired of looking at it. She's outside, with a short sword in hand, glaring at the snowman intensely.

With a cry of  'en garde!'  she hacks at her snowman's lower torso. Marie, sitting a few feet from the snowman, watches with interest.

Pokemon gender does not matter except in the day care and in a few isolated evolution-related cases!

"Cro!" Yes it is totally friendly! See how nice and harmless it is, little... um, invisible someone!

...where is this "Marie," anyway? "Cro cro?" Peer peer!

IT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND!

Bridgette gestures to thin air beside her.

"I'm Bridgette Dubois. This is my sister, Marie. Say hi, Marie."



Bridgette opens her mouth to reprimand her, only to stop. It's not like Crobat can hear what she said anyway. "She says hello," Bridgette translates.

"Crobat," it replies, smiling and hovering. Yay new friends! One of whom is confusingly not-there, but Bridgette seems to be pretty sure Marie is there, and that is good enough for Crobat!

"Bat bat?" It gestures to the decimated snowman. Was it a mean wild pokemon? Are there more?

"He looks pretty dead," Bridge says approvingly.

"Cro." Nodnod. It helped! :D

"Bat crobat?" So now what?

There's a pause from Bridgette.

"Wanna play tag?"

Did she use her psychic senses to understand what Crobat was saying? Is it just a lucky guess? The world will never know.

"Cro! Cro!" Flapflapflap!

It gently baps her head with one wing, and then is off!

...and a few moments later is off at a height that humans can actually reach, rather than about a hundred feet up.

Crobat is not always quick on the uptake, but it can figure out how to play fair eventually!

Frowny face.

"Hey! No fair! The person that calls the game gets to say who's it!"

"baaat?" It hovers back over. Hey, she sounds like she knows what's going on.

Bridgette isn't used to getting her way so easily. She takes a moment to collect herself.

"Okay." Bridgette whirls around and runs away from Crobat.

"Now you're it!" she shouts.

"Crobaaat!"

AND THE GAME IS ON.
