Jasmine paused walking away, realizing one of her pokemon was still lingering with that group. "Murtle, put him down before I put you back in your pokeball!"
Haunter released the boy rather unceremoniously, him landing with a thump on his recently repants butt. He blushed and scrambled to his feet as she watched Murtle bobble with amusement. She and Nine were waiting by a small candy stand, where the Doctor was being so kind as to get her something. Jasmine adjusted her gloves and kept an eye on the ghost behind her shoulder.
Honestly, between Ariel and Murtle, it was a wonder she got anything done at all. Speaking of the misdreavus, she had wandered off, too.
"Ariel where—" her head whipped around and landed on the group they had just walked away from, which now included a dark blond Frenchman, scarf wrapped around his neck, introducing himself to the girl Murtle had first taken an interest in. Only, now, Ariel was interested in him and about to nuzzle his cheek.
This was going to be good.
He looked to the side and jumped, yelling out a "Sacrebleu!" so loud it made a few people look. Ariel, however, only got closer to him, nuzzling into his chest and refusing to become solid long enough for him to pull her off.
Jasmine sighed, hand going to her forehead. "Excuse me, Nine, but I have to go stop one of my pokemon from becoming part of that boy's world."
The Doctor paused. "Ah, sounds like a fantastic adventure! Shall I hold onto your pokemon?"
"Please!"
Jasmine skipped over to the group she'd just left, hand behind her back to hide a pokeball.
"You again!"
Jasmine smiled at him and looked at the ghost. "Ariel, come over here."
The pokemon shook her head, and if this had been an anime, there would've been hearts floating above her head to accompany the pokemon's string of "mis mis mis mis."
"Ah, erm..."
The blond's blush was intensifying. Jasmine shook her head and pulled out the pokeball, surprised that Ariel was for once oblivious to it coming out. She disappeared in a flash of red light.
"So sorry about that," Jasmine said. "She can be... friendly."
"Eric was just introducing himself!" the girl Murtle had munched on said. "Opening our eyes to the wonders of, uh, mareep."
... Oh.
Jasmine's mouth opened, eyes closed, and her head dropped to her chest if only to close her mouth. "My apologies. She... really likes The Little Mermaid."
Eric coughed and straightened his scarf. "Ah, well, apology accepted. She was quite a charming pokémon."
He was most certainly French. He pronounced the accented E.
Jasmine smiled and waved.
"I'm gonna take you down," the first boy said.
Jasmine turned to wave at him. "Clock hasn't struck midnight yet, m'boy."
"I'm an American! I can't lose!"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "And the Princess will live happily ever after once she's won... over all the prince's pokemon. Now if you'll excuse me, that carousel still needs to be explored before the last petal falls."
She skipped back over to Nine, who was rather happily handing a shadow-themed lollipop to Murtle.
Oh joy. The last thing that Haunter needed was sugar.
