Cutiefly: Okay, I guess we have to go in the tall grass. Let’s take it slow and stick togeth— Leeroy: All right, let’s do this. Leeroy: LEEROOOOOOOYYYYYYY Cutiefly: Oh no. I was afraid that was your namesake. Cutiefly: Leeroy, watch out! Leeroy gets ensnared in a wild Pokemon’s trap. Leeroy: OH SHIT! [voice from offscreen]: Hee hee hee!

Transcript: Hop: There we go. Now keep that shut, Wooloo! Wooloo: Oka-a-ay. [voice from offscreen]: Cutiefly! Leeroy! Honey, come inside for a moment, will you? Leeroy: Oh hey! It’s your mum! A Kangaskhan with glasses waves the two into her house. Cutiefly: (…Mum?) Inside… Mum: Eat up, there’s more in the kitchen! Leeroy: Thanks, mum! Munchlax: *numf* Thank you. Budew twins: Thank you! (Thank you mummy!) Cutiefly: You seem pretty used to being a Pokemon already, mum. Mum: Ohh, shucks! You think so? Cutiefly: Yeah! You’re taking care of the- your kids- Pokemon – v-very well! Mum: Certainly helps that we can all speak with each other now, innit? Mum: Now, my little Cutiefly… I’ve got a parting gift before you go on your journey. Cutiefly: Wait– Cutiefly: Did you… really name me “Cutiefly”…? Mum: N-no! Remember, you asked to be called Cutiefly, as a nickname! It’s downright lucky you ended up turned into one! Cutiefly: Aha. I see.

Don’t just grab me! Charizard: It’s this way. And the gang finally leaves the Slumbering Weald. Charizard: *aside to Leon* You better let me wear the cape after this. Cutiefly: Waaait! Not so fast!

Transcript: Hop: Where’s your Pokemon, then, Cutiefly? Cutiefly: My Pokemon? Uhh…. random Wooloo: Wait- but- there was someone there– Scorbunny: There we go- just a little further…! Cutiefly: (Oh!

Cutiefly: Whaaaat?!?!? [LEON’S CHARIZARD] Charizard: Leave those Skwovets alone. Getting distracted will only get you lost, you know. [HOP’S WOOLOO] Wooloo: Oh, all right. BAAA-A-A-AH-HYE!

Glad we found you before nightfall! Cutiefly: You’re… Pokemon? Hop: …Did you hit your head, mate…? Cutiefly: I guess so. Leon: Now, which way was Postwick from here…
