Posted on [livejournal.com profile] pokanon to an ancient prompt: To quote PokeBeach, "After you defeat a Lass outside of Rock Tunnel in Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and their remakes, she tells you 'The POKEMON here are so chunky! There should be a pink one with a floral pattern!'" This anon wants fic or fanart of said Lass discovering Munna. MAKE IT CUTE.

I'm a sucker for little things like this (aka minor NPC details), so of course I replied and went ahead and made it cute~ ♥

"The POKEMON here are so chunky! There should be a pink one with a floral pattern!"

It'd been years since Picnicker Carol hiked out of the Rock Tunnel. She'd been exhausted, and her Pidgey and Pidgeotto managed to guard her from any Zubat and Machop that crossed her path. The Geodudes, however... she'll never forget those Geodudes. Why did she think it'd be easy? Onix was mean too, and all her cute birds could do was gust them off. So mean!

Perhaps she's a simple girl, and training wasn't her forte. She'll admit it, she wanted cute Pokémon, not necessarily battles. You'll never see her in the Pokémon League, but she'd sit in a grassy patch with her two birds with a picnic blanket spread out with bread and birdseed and honey, and she'll be perfectly satisfied. Maybe starting her journey meant not just looking for Pokemon and fighting, but for discovering herself. What she wanted to do.

She heard great things about Isshu and decided to take a trip there. So many potential places to picnic! She'd be interested in showing off her two Pokémon, amazed that people in one region would be so fascinated by a pair of birds that were otherwise everywhere in her home town. If trainers wanted to battle her, so be it. She loved showing off her cute Kanto-only bird Pokemon!

Picnicker Carol laid out the red-and-white checkered mat on the grass. Someone pushed a giant boulder out of the way and gave her access to the Abandoned Lot of Dreams. It sounded... dreamy! A little creepy, but dreamy. And she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to eat there. She released Pidgey and Pidgeotto and opened her basket, handing them each a rice ball. Nice weather today, she thought. The Pokémon here were relatively easy-going and didn't try to attack her. It wasn't too windy and there were no ants assaulting her food. This is perfect!

Yet she had the feeling she was being watched.

The answer came to her in short time from an odd little Pokémon she'd never seen before. When the pink tapir with the floral pattern drifted toward her, Carol became stunned. Hadn't she always wanted a Pokemon like this? She never expected to find one, because it was a silly dream of hers long ago. Wasn't it? But here it was, and it was real. She didn't know its name, but it didn't seem malicious either. It stared at her before it turned its adorable eyes in the distance and began floating away.

"Wait!" she cried. "Aren't you hungry?" The picnicker buried her hand in the basket right away, taking out the first item she found. She held a piece of bread slathered with honey, to which the floral Pokemon gained interest. It approached with caution, as all wild Pokémon did, sniffing the substance with its snout. It picked the bread and stuffed itself, and Carol watched still as a statue. When it was finished, the pink tapir gazed at her with thanks.

"Do you like it?" the picnicker asked. Oh she wanted to catch it! But she had no Pokéballs and it really was such a shame. She recalled her birds and packed her things, smiling at her guest as she closed her basket.

"It's nice to meet you... whatever you are!" she said. "I hope we meet again... I'd love to share another picnic sometime!"

She headed back toward town. When she turned around, she was surprised--and touched--that the same pink Pokémon was still following her.
