It's a beautiful day outside.

Birds are singing.

Flowers are blooming.

On days like these, kids like you...

Should be chasing apes.

...What do you mean Ape Escape was never on a Nintendo Platform. Oh for pete's sake--fine!

Peach and Iris looked about the somewhat busy streets in search of the mysterious monkey having been said to be stealing things from passerby. It would have been rather difficult to spot the clown, if he hadn't been expirementing with some bright red lipstick up atop one of the appartments in the area. The bright lavender bag and his distraction with the lipstick gave him away quite easily, drawing Peach's attention and Iris' nose. The two gave eachother questioning looks as they both debated how to get up there without alarming anyone or risking falling and knocking their heads on the street. "I think I can climb it." Iris stated confidently, plotting how she would chase the monkey once she got up there. Peach remained silent, waiting for their third partner. That would make things easier.

The ukiki mocks you from it's perch.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow walked down the streets with a Herdier by her side as she looked around for the monkey as well as who she was supposed to be helping. Probably should of kept Kitty out instead since it would make searching easier from the skies... Except Yellow wanted to work on her bond with Randy. Speaking of the cowardly former Rocket, he was staying pretty close to her. Kind of made sense given his rather cowardly nature. Still, no one really seemed to question it since it was probably possible for a  Herdier to put on a rather similar manner of action. She was also currently in her Blue Cosplay that was a bit more comfortable... The black dress did look good on Blue... But Yellow kind of preferred the other set of clothes if she had to make a choice.

Then Randy looked up at the building at a monkey putting on... lipstick? "... You don't think we are looking for a girl monkey do you?" Randy asked in worry. Not sure why he would worry about that in paticular. He was a human normally, not a canine Pokemon.

Yellow was already looking up at it anyway. "... I have seen an ape put on lipstick that I am pretty sure was Male. Besides, I don't think it would bother you anyway, don't worry," Yellow reassured.

"... If you're sure," Randy complied. She was a little girl, she probably knew what she was talking about... Maybe. "... What about them?" Randy continued as he pointed a paw at Peach and Iris looking up at the monkey. It made him kind of uncomfortable since that probably meant they were on the same mission.

Yellow did not recogonize one of them... But the other immediately brought back memories she was not too fond of. From the Hydreigon Nightmares to the kiss... She was still kind of effected by those events. "I-Iris?!" Amarillo exclaimed. She seemed to not of read the signups.

[Mari]

Iris turned and lolled her head at the girl calling her name. ...Who the heck was--...Sniff sniff. A big grin crossed her face. She almost hadn't recognized Yellow in such a drastically different set of clothes! She waved excitedly. "Oh hi Yellow~!" she called out, glowing with joy at meeting the other again. "Wow, you are looking really good! Like--really really good!" she went on to blurt out, trying to wrap her mind around this transformation. Peach inspected Yellow for a moment, nodding in approval. "She does look quite stylish..." Peach mused aloud, more in an effort to be polite than anything. Her tone suggested her mind was elsewhere. Probably on the monkey.

"Wow, are you here to help with the mission? It almost looks like you're on your way to a date~" Iris would go on to exclaim, glowing with appreciation for Yellow's outfit. Peach, however, seemed to detect Yellow's discomfort and gently placed a hand on Iris' shoulder to distract her. "Iris..? Can you do me a favor and see if you can climb that apartment wall?" Peach asked, redirecting Iris back to the mission. The unovan champion glanced up at Peach and struck an enthusiastic pose. "Yeah, of course! Gimme just a minute and I bet I'll have him!" Iris would reply in an almost competitive tone before rushing off to take a look at the building the monkey was currently sitting on.

Peach waited for Iris to run off before calmly approaching Yellow, folding her hands before her and lowering the volume of her voice to give them some semblance of privacy. It was unlikely Iris could hear them, given that the ambient noise was fairly high. "Are you alright..? You seemed a bit tense." Peach asked, a bit of concern in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Iris began attempting to monkey her way up the apartment wall.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow grasped her arm and looked away at Iris's compliments. She was still finding that moment uncomfortable and her comments did not help much. She should of come in her usual pair of clothes. Especially the date comment made her feel even more uncomfortable. Randy looked up at Yellow questioningly. He'd never thought he would see a girl be uncomfortable around another girl.

Fortunately Peach got Iris to focus on something else. It was when she approached that Yellow got to see how huge she was. Granted, Yellow was usually one of the shortest people around all the time but Peach just towered. She seemed to sense that something was up... which Amarillo supposes she was not hiding it very well at all.

She hesitated for a moment at the thought of talking to a stranger about it... But there was something comforting about her that the girl could not exactly tell what. "... I had a bad experience with Iris..." Yellow started quietly before suddenly realizing how bad that actually sounded. "I-I mean she is... a good person and she did protect me on a mission... But I fell asleep during a mission because I was tired from healing a Weavile. When I woke up she was right in front of my face. She claimed she was just doing CPR... but it felt like my first kiss was stolen..." Yellow explained before stopping as her face was very red right now. Maybe that would not of happened if her hat did not fall off... Maybe she did still need whatever protection it offered...

[Mari]

Peach hesitated a moment, glancing toward the dragon master as she continued attempting to scale the apartment. The ukiki atop it hadn't noticed her yet. She then turned her attention back to Yellow, considering what she'd said and the way she had said it. The princess knew a thing or two about being forced into uncomfortable circumstances of this nature. How many times had she been physically forced into marriages she didn't consent to again? "Oh... I think I understand." Peach replied, nodding thoughtfully as she pondered Yellow's situation. "It made you feel violated..." Peach went on to muse, glancing to Iris again. She seemed to consider something. "I know Iris' heart was probably in the right place, but maybe she needs you to stand up to her and show her how you really feel." Peach mused aloud, only to quickly reconsider her choice of words. "Or maybe... Someone willing to stand up to her for you. Would that make you feel better, knowing she understood how you felt?" Peach asked softly. Luckily, the person in question was Iris and not say Bowser or one of the many other gross villains Peach herself regularly had to confront.

Meanwhile, the ukiki became aware of Iris and threw the used lipstick at her. It bounced off of Iris head and nearly dislodged her from her hanging spot. Undeterred, Iris resumed her climb and began unsuccessfully attempting to grab at the Ukiki's legs. It bounced back, mocking her attempts.

[Coolshaymin]

Amarillo listened to Peach for a moment while looking at the monkey. She was partially trying to distract her mind by making a plan to catch that monkey. Then Peach brought up her thought of how it made Yellow feel violated... She thought about it for a second as she recalled Yellow giving her the hat that fell off when she fell asleep... Blue was probably not happy with that... At least Yellow wanted to believe that. Would make sense for her to be upset over that.

Then Peach brought up telling how Iris how she felt... Which was the wrong wording at first as it caused a swift flashback. This was amended when she offered to talk with Iris about it. The girl of Viridian Forest thought about the suggestion for a moment before deciding. "... I do think that would help... But I have someone I want to talk about it with first. I just would feel better if they stood up for me... For personal reasons... Hope you understand," Yellow answered before looking at the Ukiki.

She just had to catch that monkey and it looked like Iris was having trouble with it... Well, she can at least work together if she tried to push the thought aside long enough... As long as she was not near enough to try anything. "Randy, try and see if you can sneak up on the monkey with Quick Attack," Yellow finally suggests.

Randy was obviously too busy thinking about what happened when Yellow spoke to him. Probably was thinking of how manga like that experience sounded. Most likely some kind of slap and the call of pervert. "R-right. I will try," Randy complied before walking forward and looking up... How was he supposed to get up there?... Well, maybe he can Quick Attack up the wall and surprise the Monkey. He did not go through the trouble of learning Pokemon moves for nothing... Hopefully he did not fail this like everything else.

Randy attempted to scale the wall with agility... But he failed quite pathetically as he faceplanted into the wall. He gave a small whimper before sliding to the ground... Well, he has not changed that much it would seem in transition... Yellow should probably train him more. At least there was the chance of his collision with the wall throwing the monkey off... But there was also the chance of doing that to Iris.

"Oh, of course. Your outfit does look very nice by the way. It reminds me of a friend of mine." Peach would reply, smiling pleasantly at Yellow. The allure of the little black dress was not lost on anyone. Simple enough to please a tomboy, elegant enough to please a princess. Truly, the dress of all trades. On this note, Peach turned to look upon Iris' efforts. Thankfully, neither girl nor monkey were disheveled from their places. However, Iris had grown tired of monkeying around and abruptly lunged up onto the roof, startling the monkey. She began to chase the monkey, only for it to promptly jump to another rooftop. To Peach's amazement, Iris followed suit.

"..."

The princess was, understandably, waiting on the ground. She could not make those jumps or catch a monkey in her heels. She needed Iris to chase the monkey off the roofs before she could help.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow shielded her face as Randy collided with the wall. That must of hurt him quite bit as he laid on the ground. Yellow walked towards the Herdier as Peach mentioned her outfit... And that it reminded her of someone... Did that mean she knew Blue? "I made some clothes from a Kit a brown Slaking with a tie threw at me. I based them off my friend Blue," Yellow responded as she hugged Randy in one arm in an attempt to show she is not mad.

She used the other arm to take a Pokeball off her holster. "Kitty, help Iris lure that flameless Chimchar off the buildings," Yellow requested as she threw the Pokeball. Out came a Butterfree that quickly flew to the rooftops. Kitty moved to get in the way of the Ukiki as he moved from Iris to force a change in direction.

[Mari]

Peach's eyes widened slightly in realization. "Oh! That's the girl I was talking about, actually. She's one of our newest members at the Magical Girl's Society." Peach explained, her eyes following Iris as the other recklessly chased the ukiki. "I hope she's alright. We haven't seen her in a few days since she joined." Peach would go on to muse aloud. It probably had something to do with her efforts to get Iris' butt kicked, not that Peach would know anything about that. As Peach spoke, Kitty successfully cornered the ukiki between itself and Iris.

The monkey promptly leapt from the roof in response, only for Iris to promptly dive after it. She managed to grab the monkey too. "Gotcha, ook!" Iris blurted out triumphantly, only to bell flop onto the hard ground in a very painful looking manner. The monkey easily wrought itself free of the stunned girls hands and stuck its tongue out as it made a dash ...towards Peach and Yellow.

[Coolshaymin]

Peach confirmed that it was indeed Blue she was referring to. Apparently she joined something called the Magical Girl Society. She then went on to state her concern for the location of her since she has not shown up. Yellow thought of the events that happened at Rocket... And then the events that happened with Iris... Could Blue already be trying to get revenge on Iris? "... What is the Magical Girl Society?" Yellow questioned since she was not sure she heard that name. It was also kind of her curiosity that Blue was a part of something like that. She decided not to mention the chances of Blue being out for revenge.

Meanwhile Kitty flew in front of the Ukiki and watched as it jumped away. The Butterfree flew closer as Iris fell with the monkey in her hands. This did not last long however as the dragon girl impacted the ground and dropped the monkey. Yellow watched before deciding to follow up as the Ukiki approached them. Kitty was already following close behind. "Kitty, try using String Shot to slow him down. Randy, go and use Lick," Yellow ordered. Kitty shot a string of silk at the monkey's legs to try and bind them together.

Randy kind of hesitated at the command. Licking a monkey sounded not very tasty... But he was the one that taught himself Lick and Bite so he was kind of asking for jobs like this. Randy ran forward to try and intercept with a paralyzing lick.

[Mari]

Peach beamed at Yellow. "The Magical Girl's Society--I wanted to call it a sisterhood, personally--is a private club for those of us girls on Li that hold the magic of love in our hearts." the princess would explain as the ukiki made a mockery of Yellow's efforts. The string shot tripped it up long enough for Randy to catch up to it, only for the ukiki to shove a spiny fruit into his mouth as he went in for the lick. Ow.

The ukiki then lunged at Yellow. It looked like it was going to ...grab her face! A frying pan caught the ukiki mid-jump however as Peach saw her opportunity and lunged out to stop it, smacking the ukiki rather hard. Sometimes it paid off to sit back and make yourself out to be a non-threat. The princess then tossed it into the air as if she were flipping a flapjack, stepping back and striking a batting position. "Heads up!" Peach called out, taking a swing at the monkey and sending it flying across the street with a loud clang. The ukiki was unable to hold onto Flurrie's purse after an impact like that, and the princess promptly caught it before it fell.

Peach then turned to Yellow, smiling brightly. "We step in to support each other in times of need, and our vault has served as a safe place to relax from time to time and exchange stories. We might be able to get a bigger club later but, for now, it does us well."

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow listened as Peach explained what the Magical Girl Society was. So it was a community of girls with the magic of love in their hearts? Reminded her of her bonding with Pokemon which was a kind of power of love in a way. Or maybe it was just the usual kind of love... Which seems odd if it was broad enough that anyone effected by love and female would be allowed. Were there people that could not actually use that power in some form? Sure, Yellow's bonding powers were more literal in the magic department but she does not think it is that uncommon for trainers...

Yellow shocked back to attention when she felt Randy's thoughts. That thought sounded like it was painful as well was the accompanying yelp that came from Randy. Yellow quickly looked over at Randy getting low and scraping his spiked tongue with his paws... She should probably of been paying more attention... Like the monkey that was coming right at her!

That was fortunately stopped by Peach. Yellow was not sure why the monkey saw her more a threat than her Pokemon but Peach easily taught him a lesson as she batted him away with her Frying Pan. Yellow stepped back and watched in amazement as she sent the monkey flying. That was impressive strength that it did not appear she would fully have.

"Kitty, follow that monkey and use String Shot!" Yellow commanded as Kitty watched the Pokemon fly. Kitty quickly flew after the flight pattern and shot the monkey while he was vulnerable in an attempt to wrap him up in surprisingly strong silk so he would not be fleeing. Kitty would then dance around the monkey if it succeeded.

Yellow then turned her attention back to Peach as she finished with the stolen items. "So it's like a place to relax? That sounds nice... Though I would prefer to be in a more... natural spot to relax honestly. I guess that is not really possible here though," Yellow lamented as she looked in the direction Kitty followed the monkey. She would need to help Randy heal that later since she did not want the chance of falling asleep while Iris was around... Not that anything would happen exactly... She just did not want to take that risk right now... Randy would seem the type of dog to understand.

[Mari]

Peach nodded slowly. "It's... a safe place for the girls to retreat to, yes. We're quite small at the moment, but we try to make each and every one of us comfortable." Peach replied, nodding thoughtfully. "Perhaps Blue will invite you! She knows you best, so she'd probably be the one to decide if you'd fit in." Peach went on to offer, shouldering the purse.

Meanwhile, the ukiki deftly dodged Kitty's string shot, dancing about as it weaved back and forth. It then abruptly pounced Kitty and leapfrogged the butterfree into the ground before making a break for it, only for a recovered Iris to pounce and grab his tail. "Gotcha!"

Unfortunately for Iris, she apparently underestimated the ukiki's strength and it began dragging her across the ground. "Wh--...Whaa!"

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow looked at Iris as Peach continued. She briefly wondered if she was part of that group. Peach did seem pretty familiar with Iris... Though that could always be a coincidence. She was not sure how relaxing sharing a spot with her would be at the moment. Amarillo kind of wished she could shake off that feeling of unease about Iris. "I'll remember that if she brings it up," Yellow stated. Still, sharing a relaxing place with Blue might offset that a little bit.

Kitty did not seem to acknowledge his own failure as he got distracted. This allowed the monkey to easily pounce him. The large bug could support Yellow's weight somehow but the force of the leapfrog knocked him off balance. This caused Kitty to crash into the ground in a temporary daze.

Iris managed to partially catch the monkey in the meantime. Randy seemed to recover from the fruit he was forced to taste as well and ran at the two. The Herdier quickly caught major speed with Quick Attack and made to pounce on the monkey that was dragging Iris. Hopefully landing on him would stun him long enough for Iris to get a better grip on him...

[Mari]

Iris' cheeks puffed up as she was dragged along, the champion wildly attempting to dig her heels into the ground with little success. However, the ukiki was also having a lot of difficulty running with her weight on him, and Randy was easily able to catch up to it. The dog and the monkey successfully managed to slow the ukiki to a literal crawl as it attempted to claw it's way free of their grasp, only for Peach to finally take a more active roll in the chasing and casually walk over to assist the duo ...by sitting on the monkey. Squish. Iris promptly joined in on this, crossing her arms proudly as the ukiki was finally brought to a standstill.

"And that's how take down a monkey--"

"--Like a lady~!"

"--Like a champ~!"

"...Like a team~!"

Iris and Peach just sort of gave each other amused looks for a moment, the champion beginning to nudge the taller woman in a competitively playful manner. Peach seemed to ignore this, almost as if she were used to Iris' rough attitude, though it was beyond her personally. One wouldn't have time to find out the limits of Peach's patience however, as a popping sound promptly distracted the girls by giving way to a trophified ukiki underneath them. Peach and Iris glanced down beneath themselves in bewilderment. Had... Had they been too heavy for the ukiki? Had they accidentally crushed or smothered that monkey by sitting on it?

The two gave each other equally horrified glances before getting up to survey the 'damage'.

"..."

"..."

"Let's never speak of this." Peach would eventually remark. It sounded like a suggestion, but her tone somehow came off as insistent.

"Works for me." Iris would murmur in response. There were many weird things she was proud of. Accidentally killing monkeys was not one of them.

"I suppose that does make... transporting him easier." Peach would go on to relent after a moment, sighing gently.
