“Stump,” you reply to her, playing off of her name’s relation to wood and trees, “Nice to meet you.”
“Stump. That’s a great name!”
>Ask about her“So, I’ve never seen you around before.”
“Same! I’ve talked to looooots of other zigzagoon, but I’ve never met one like you before.”
“Oh? What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, most of us don’t really do stuff like this,” she says, gesturing towards your camp setup, “also, I could’ve sworn there weren’t berries here last time I checked.”
You shrug, deciding not to disclose the secrets of agriculture for now.
“So, what do you like to do?”
“Me? Well, I’m a bit… snoopy. It’s just, so much cool stuff happens around here, y’know?”
“Have you always lived around here?”
“Yep! Used to live in the zigzagoon gang, but I wanted to check stuff out, so I went solo?”
“Zigzagoon gang?”
“You’re weird, Stump. Everyone knows about the gangs.”
“Let’s say I don’t. Explain it to me like I’m a baby.”
“Ok. Well, so, you and I are just like, solo, right? We hang out in the wild, loaf around, eat, sleep, the works. Pretty great, right?”
You nod. She continues,
“Well, some pokemon don’t feel safe livin’ the wild life. Other people want to get strong, or just don’t like being alone. So, they form gangs! Big ol’ groups of the same line that keep each other safe, hang out, and fight each other sometimes.”
“Interesting. Is there only one gang of each species?”
“Nope! There are tons of gangs for poochyena and tailow and seedot and stuff. The only ones with only one big gang are wurmple and zigzagoon! Well, there’re probably more of those out there too, but in this forest, that’s how it is.”
“So why’d you leave the gang?”
“Didn’t like the rules. They keep you safe in there, but you gotta follow whatever Jet- he’s the boss- whatever he says. And you gotta work all the time. It suuucks.”
You decide to change the subject, refocusing on Twigs:
“So what’s your favorite berry?”
“Leppa! They’re the tastiest.”
“Do they grow much in your territory?”
“Territory? Oh, right, yeah. Uh, honestly, I’m kinda… wandery, y’know? Haven’t found a good place to set up shop.”
What should you say next?
