sleeping in ! mercurio

finnian was walking at a fairly leisurely pace, all the while scrolling through the pictures he had collected. "wow... we've met lots of people, haven't we, fluffy?" he commented, showing the eevee all the encounters they had come across. there were loads of interesting people, including a carefully documented photo with the nurse joy of every town he had come by. he had come back to route 102 - there were lots of amazing photo opportunities here that he had missed the first time he walked through it. he had been too absorbed, talking to sylvester and watching over fluffy's sleepy form to focus.

"ooh, sparky! you and fluffy should get up on that tree! just sorta pose on the branches, yeah!" he pushed them along, trying to fiddle with his camera settings and find the perfect angle for a nice shot. this was professional photographer finny talking, turning dials and taking several test shots of the environment. hoenn's sunlight was so strong, which made for some really dynamic looking photos that he loved. "right! nice!" he complimented, clicking away on his camera. "these look good! you guys can come down now!"

that was easier said than done. it was clear that while sparky had no problem jumping back onto finny's shoulder, fluffy was a lot more apprehensive. much like a cat, the pokemon was frozen up on the branch. "hey! fluffy! c'mon, jump, i'll catch you!" he was only met with a vigorously shaking head. not happening.
