Elena was about to suggest to Egan that he should catch an Oricorio if he had an interest in them, but a tiny quad of bulbous green pokémon skipped past and quickly took hold of both her and Egan's attention. How cute! Yet, one of them trailed behind the rest, and in its eagerness to catch up with its pals it tripped right over the tip of Egan's shoe before faceplanting straight into the ground. The little green grass-type flailed for a moment as it struggled to get back up. Elena started to shift to head over and help it up, but Egan knelt down to assist it himself. However, the moment he reached out a second time to help, the little green blub rushed at him, violently swinging at his shoe and prompting a giggle from Elena at the sight. She pulled out her dex to scan the upset pokémon then leaned back to watch the battle that was clearly about to take place as Egan called out Popo.
Although, it soon became evident that this battle was going to take a while to be over. An absorb war was starting to take place between the Petilil and Popo. Mabel had already begun to doze off with her head in Elena's lap, and Elena couldn't deny that this meadow's atmosphere was quite relaxing. She almost started to lay down and close her eyes as well while she waited out Egan's battle, but before she could Elena felt a firm hit against her arm that supported her body's weight. "What..?" She turned to find the source of the hit only to be greeted by a Metapod. A pissed off looking one at that. What had she done? Before she could attempt to ask or remedy the situation it threw itself at her arm again, knocking into her elbow and causing her to fall back abruptly. "Well ******** you too." Elena didn't hesitate in sitting up again and reaching for Poppy's pokéball.
A short battle later, that was admittedly a little tougher than Elena had envisioned, the Metapod was defeated, but along came another, slightly bigger, Metapod. She supposed it was upset that she had beaten its friend. A sigh escaped her lips. She really just wanted to chill out and relax. "Mabel, Poppy is a little worn out. Can you handle this?" She questioned softly, and dutifully the vulpine pokémon stood to defend its still seated trainer. Again, a brief battle ensued with Mabel coming out victorious. The two strange Metapod fled as fast as their awkward hops could carry them. "Nice job you two," Elena praised her two pokémon with a proud smile.
She looked back to where Egan had been just in time to catch him approaching her with a pokéball in hand. "I'm gonna let her rest a bit before I try and train her."
"Oh, you caught the Petilil? Congrats!" Elena chirped happily as she softly clapped her hands together. "It was starting to look like the battle was never going to end," she joked before starting to reach into her bag and pull out supplies to heal up Mabel and Poppy. A couple potion spritzes later and the pink and blue pokémon were both looking great again. Elena motioned for them both of them to rest again and enjoy the florally scented wind that blew through the meadow. "This breeze feels so nice considering how hot it is in Alola," she mused as her attention moved back to Egan once more while her two pokémon curled up next to where she was seated amongst the brightly colored flowers.

Egan laughed at Elena's mention of the absorb war. "Yeah, I was honestly afraid we'd be there for ever," he said, patting Popo ontop of his gelatinous head. "Luckily this guy was a little stronger." He hadn't be sure how battling with a Ditto would work out, but Popo had proved himself time and time again that day; he was proud of the little guy. A gust of wind began to blow through the meadow once again, carrying with them the plentiful yellow petals of the flowers that made up the majority of the scenery. Despite how hot the journey to the meadow had been, the breeze there was pleasant; up near the summit it felt less and less like a blowdryer being aimed directly at his face. "It's definitely a welcome change," he agreed as he glanced around the field.
"That's strange," he remarked, pointing at a cluster of flower petals that seemed to be gliding through the air. "I've never seen them cling together like that before. It's almost like a whole flower got caught up in the wind." As the yellow mass got closer, Egan noticed something was amiss; among the golden "petals" were two splotches of deep purple. Before he could react, the mass was carried directly into his face by the breeze, squeeling with joy as it clung to him. Egan attempted to draw in a sharp breath, only for it to be muffled by the cotton-like fure that he'd earlier mistaken as petals. Unleashing a torrent of muffled curses that would make most men blush, Egan managed to pry the offending mass off his face, holding it at arms length in both hands. Now that he was able to see what had clung to him, Egan's anger was quellled and replaced with wonder and an almost primal need to squeeze the pokemon he was holding before its cuteness bewitched him. Two brilliant green eyes peered back at him through golden fleece-like fur. The pokemon squealed happily, its eyes curving into what he assumed was a smile.
Egan held tightly to the pokemon with his right hand, while his left retrieved the pokedex from his pants pocket. He flipped it open and checked to see what the encyclopedia had to say. "Cottonee, the cotton puff pokemon. Cottonee is blown around by the wind because of its lightweight composition. The only circumstance in which it cannot be blown by wind is when it has been soaked by rain, which weighs it down and makes it soggy. Afterwards, this Pokémon will stay under a tree until it dries, so that it may be blown by the wind again. During the mating season, Cottonee blow in the wind in large groups. Its cotton can be used as a defensive mechanism that aids its self-defense." Egan glanced back and forth between the picture and the cheerful pokemon he held in his hand. Sure, they had a similar appearance, but the one in the pokedex was green and white, not golden and deep purple like the one that had clung to him. He throught about it for a moment, and decided that the pokemon need to be his. It might be rare. And it was cute. Egan signaled to Popo and the battle began.
Egan walked over to pick up the Pokeball that contained his shiny, new friend. He knelt down, gingerly picked up the Pokeball, shrunk it, and placed it on his belt. As he was about to stand up, he noticed a small green object resembling an acorn where the pokeball had dropped. Egan shrugged, grabbed the green apricorn, and stashed it into his pocket. He stood up and walked back to where Elena had been standing before spraying Popo with a potion. "Well, I'm getting a bit peckish and the sun looks like it's going to start setting soon. Do you want to head back to town and find a palce to stay?" He asked, jerking his thumb in the direction of the cave.

Elena gazed at the golden ball of fluff in a mixture of amazement and confusion as it rode the breeze straight into Egan's face. "Is that..." She didn't need to pull out her pokédex to recognize what the pokémon was. Cottonee was a fairy-type, and Elena knew most fairy-types off the top of her head. Although, why was it colored so strangely? Cottonee usually had bright white fluff and green leaves. This wasn't the time to dwell on it. Elena wasted no time yoinking out her instant camera and quickly snapping a picture of Egan holding the shiny pokémon at arm's length. This was a moment definitely worth capturing.
"You should catch it. I've never seen a Cottonee colored that way," she encouraged as she set her camera back into her bag once more. Elena might have wanted the pokémon for herself if it was colored normally, but nothing about the rich purple or golden hues sparked her interest, despite the rarity that they implied. "Besides, I think she likes you," Elena pointed out. The Cottonee seemed happy, after all, and almost obliviously cheerful as it stayed in Egan's grasp without argument.
Cue Egan taking her advice and a battle ensuing.

"Congrats! Three new pokémon in one day! You're on a roll," Elena complimented as she watched Egan pick up the newly captured Cotonee's pokéball. She made her way closer to him now that the battling was over and there was no risk of being hit by a stray Fairy Wind.
At the mention of heading back to town, Elena gave Egan a nod. She had been thinking the same thing. "Yeah, I don't quite want to make my way back down Route Three in the dark," she answered before starting to reach for Mabel and Poppy's pokéballs. Elena looked back to the both of her pokémon as they approached behind her. "Come on, back into the balls you go. It'll be easier than making you walk," she chirped before the two pokémon disappeared in a flash of red light behind her. The white-haired girl stared at the balls for a moment as they shrunk down before clipping them back in their holder. "You know, my dad helps make these things," she mentioned casually, referring to her parent's jobs at the pokéball factory just north of Laverre City.
Elena waited for Egan to be ready to go as well, before waving him to follow and leading them out of the meadow.
