Mallow: "Oh hey, you must be the new guy Kiawe was talking about!"
Lana: "Hey there ohana, welcome to Kiawe's secret hideout."
(The girls giggle as a unique aroma wafts around the area. It quickly becomes obvious what these girls are up to...)
=
A wild Shuckle slowly pushes the door open and slides inside the room. It seems to enjoy the scent of the area.
"Shucachuca."
It appears to wave at the girls!
=
Lana smiles brightly and gives Shuckle a wave.
Lana: "Awww, he's cute..."
She extends a hand towards Shuckle, beckoning him to come closer. Mallow leans onto Lana slightly and watches with some concern.
Mallow: "Lana, you really shouldn't pat him without wearing gloves first."
=
Shuckle looks to Mallow with a sad expression even when it knows she might be right. But it slithers closer to both of them anyways, getting closer to the girls and the source of the dank smell.
"Shuca... Shucachuca!"
=
Lana glances over to Mallow with a slightly hurt look. It's clear she really thinks Shuckle is cute, and she wants to show him some affection... but in Mallow's eyes, it's not such a good idea.
Lana: "I mean... what's the harm, babe? The only thing to worry about is getting that slime on your hands, right? But if you just wash it off afterwards, I think it would be fine!"
Mallow shakes her head.
Mallow: "It's not that simple, Lana... Just be careful."
=
Lana takes her chances and pets the Shuckle for a few seconds. It seems to appreciate it then withdraws into its shell like a turtle.
"Shuca... Shuca!"
When it pops back out, it comes with a couple of Oran Berries for a gift to both girls present.
=
Lana stares wide-eyed at the Oran Berries, before turning to Mallow with an even wider smile.
Lana: "Look! He gave us berries!"
Her smile is infectious, and Mallow can't help but smile back and nod her head.
Mallow: "You know what, babe? I'm glad you had fun with him. He's pretty cute!"
She gives Lana a quick hug, before they both turn to Shuckle to thank him.
Lana: "Thanks a million, big guy! We'll eat these in your honor!"
=
"Shucachuca - Shuca!"
The Pokémon waves as if to say you're welcome! Then it notices a dank bud that fell onto the floor. Shuckle grabs it then withdraws again.
=
Mallow blinks.
Mallow: "Did he just...?"
Lana nods, giggling.
Lana: "Yeah, I think he did."
She turns back to Shuckle and leans over, grinning playfully.
Lana: "Now now, little guy, that's not for you!" She says in a sing-song voice, reaching out to take the bud back.
=
"Shuca Shuca Shuca~"
The Pokémon chimes from out of vision range. Unfortunately Mallow's hand can't fit into the hole to contest it. It might be a lost cause...
=
Lana pouts, her hand hanging awkwardly within the hole where Shuckle was.
Lana: "Hey now, Shuckle... I want that back. Don't make me tell Kiawe about this!"
Mallow chuckles.
Mallow: "Babe, c'mon. Shuckle probably likes the smell, we should just let him have it."
=
A few minutes pass with Shuckle not moving anywhere. Then it pops back out again.
"Shucachuca!!"
Shuckle then appears again, with a fine powder on its head. Apparently it did not consume the weed, but converted it into a more prepared form!
=
Mallow giggles at Shuckle, seeming relieved that he didn't consume the entire bud. Lana, on the other hand stares at the powder in a sort of bewildered glee.
Lana: "What did you do, you funky little Pokemon?"
Her eyes flick between Shuckle and the powder multiple times; she looks extremely intrigued.
=
Shuckle slowly walks closer to Lana keeping its head still. It appears to be telling them to give this newly crafted Shucaberry strain a try!
=
Mallow stares with wide eyes. This is something she probably did not expect, but Lana seems eager to try. She's very eager, in fact, if the sudden sparkle in her wide blue eye is anything to go by.
Lana: "You know... I'm game! If you can make bud into a powder, I think I can handle it... right, Shuckle?"
She smiles sweetly at Shuckle, before turning expectantly to Mallow.
Lana: "Are you in, hon?"
Mallow frowns a little and bites her lip. She hesitantly shakes her head.
Mallow: "No, Lana, I don't really think I should..."
She pauses for a moment, thinking.
Mallow: "But if you want to, I won't stop you, babe! As long as you're safe."
Lana frowns a little, pouting at Mallow. She's clearly disappointed, but after a moment, she smiles a little, leaning in for a quick peck on Mallow's lips.
=
Lana manages to roll up two joints with the powder provided. When Lana lights up and takes the first puff she immediately tastes the familiar Aspear Berry flavor, the berry known for thawing Frozen Pokémon.
=
Lana blows a smoky cloud into the room, humming softly. She closes her eye as the smoke curls and coils outward, taking her first hit of the powder Shuckle had crafted for them.
Lana: "Mmm... It's fruity, with a slight sweetness. Very good!"
She offers the second joint to Mallow, smiling hopefully.
Mallow takes the second joint and turns towards Lana, looking back in forth between her girlfriend and the joint with some hesitance.
Mallow: "Do you really think I should?"
=
"Shuca-chuca-chuca.."
Shuckle replies in a flat tone that seems to be saying 'Don't be such a coward'..
=
Mallow blushes, clearly a bit embarrassed by Shuckle's words... She doesn't want to be a coward after all, but she doesn't want to give in to peer pressure either. In the end, Lana's sweet and hopeful face ends up convincing her... She bites her bottom lip and finally nods.
Mallow: "O-ok then. But... I'm only doing this once, got it?"
She places the joint between her lips and uses the other to motion towards Lana slightly.
Mallow: "Light it for me, babe."
=
Shuckle admires the closeness of these two girls. While both girls partake of the joint, Shuckle starts bobbing his head to the music playing in the background. 'Now that's a catchy tune!'
=
Mallow can't help but snicker at Shuckle's reaction. She's already starting to feel the effects of the high setting in, and everything seems so entertaining... Even a simple head bop can get her to laugh. Lana giggles softly and smiles at her girlfriend, scooting closer until their hips touch.
Lana: "How's that smoke taste, hon?"
Mallow hums happily, the sensation of Lana's body warming her to the core. She leans against Lana, her head resting on her shoulder lovingly.
Mallow: "It's so good, babe..!"
