[As Newt spoke, Ivy watched him get caught up on his own words. It was adorable really. She rested her chin on her palm and remained quiet as she listened. as smile tugging at the corners of her mouth at the fondness in his tone.
Once he was done, she flashed him a very pretty grin.]
Very impressive. It's nice to hear someone with such passion speak.

[You do this on purpose don't you, Ivy?
Newt flushes and clears his throat, glancing away and at the eggs at his side.]
Well I--back home it was something of my profession. To know study creatures and care for them. I very much enjoyed it.

It shows. And it was an absolute pleasure to listen to.
[The curl of her lips turns playful.]
So, which do you think best suits my little friend here?

[Despite how flustered he is, Newt does manage a small smile though eye contact is still impossible.]
I would say..possibly either the Chinese Fireball or Norwegian Ridgeback.

[Ivy looks at the Salandit's smooth back. Ridge probably wasn't going to work.]
A Chinese Fireball, you say?
[At those words the Pokemon lifts its head up in interest.]
Oh, you like Fireball?
[He nods his head and blows a small stream of smoke out at her. Ivy smirks.]
A little on the nose. Or, on the snout should I say. But if it makes him happy. Fireball it is.
[She giving Newt a playful smirk again.]
Thank you, Newt.

[Newt's smile turns sheepish as he chances at glance at Ivy before quickly looking at Fireball again and clearing his throat.]
It's..it's no trouble at all, Pamela. I am happy to help. Truly.
[Even if you do fluster the hell out of him and he has no idea what to do about it.]

You're so sweet, Newt. Thankyou again.
[She gives him a parting wink.]
[She gives him a parting wink.]
[And he's about to overheat he's blushing so much.]
O-of course, Pamela. Anytime.
[He gives a quick wave, still unable to look her directly in the eye before cutting the 'gear off so he can go try and get un-flustered.
Thanks a bunch, Ivy. Gawd.]

[ooc: Backdated to a bit after this conversation.]
[After his earlier conversation with Jean, Armin has been reaching out to people. Like he had told Jean if they wanted to figure out what was going on here, if something was going on here, it was important to have more information. Five people suffering from nightmares could be chalked up to a coincidence. Not a likely one, but still. They all were prone to nightmares, after all. But if more people were suffering from this, especially people who weren't known for having frequent nightmares, the chance that it was a coincidence grew smaller and smaller. And if something was going on, it was important to figure out if it had anything to do with their stay in Fuchsia --so far all the people Armin knew were suffering from nightmares had been in Fuchsia-- or if it was another cause altogether. Mr Newt hadn't stayed in Fuchsia as long as they had, but he had still been there.
Plus, nothing wrong with making sure everybody was all right.
Which is why Armin is calling Newt. He looks a bit pale and tired himself, but there is also something steely in the faint frown on his face. It's his thinking face, the face he always wears when puzzling over a strategy or trying to get to the bottom of something. Newt has mostly seen him be the nerd, but there is a strategist in the boy too.]
Mr Newt, I hope I'm not disturbing you, but do you have a moment? There is something I'd like to ask, if you don't mind.

[Newt had been having strange dreams, he wouldn't deny that, but to call them nightmares would be a stretch. Whatever game the Pokemon responsible were trying to play, it wasn't working on Newt and the Drowzee that had been lurking about their campsite on Mt. Mortar had given up after a few days of nothing.
There just wasn't much that seemed to phase Newt, even in nightmares.
A curious look crosses his face when he sees that look on Armin's, recognizing it as the look one wears when challenged by something.]
No, no, there's nothing to disturb. Just chatting with Cornelius. [Said Oranguru peers at the 'gear curiously before waving at Armin.] What can I help you with?

[Armin returns Cornelius' wave, but it is rather distracting. His mind is fully focused on the nightmare problem and on wondering whether or not Newt might be suffering from them too.]
I was wondering. How have you been doing since you left Fuchsia? Has anything unusual been happening?

[Ah.]
Are you referring to the odd dreams?
[Newt frowns thoughtfully.]
It only started a week or so ago, I believe.

[Armin's eyes widen slightly.]
Are you having nightmares too?
[That makes-- actually, he's almost starting to lose count of how many people he now knows are dealing with nightmares right now. It really doesn't seem like it can be anything coincidental anymore.]

Not nightmares really, no. Just..rather strange dreams.
[A worried look appears now.]
Are you? Having nightmares, that is.
[A worried look appears now.]
Are you? Having nightmares, that is.
[Strange dreams? How strange? Does that put Newt within the pattern or outside of it?]
I am. It wouldn't really be important normally, except it seems that a lot of people are having nightmares right now. More than usual.

It does. I have seen quite a few people talking about it.
[It was worrisome. And he had a feeling it was because of the recent influx in certain Pokemon.]
Have you had any encounters with a Drowzee as of late? Prior to the nightmares. Or a Phantump, for that matter.

A Drowzee or a Phantump?
[Armin touches his chin in thought, trying to think back.]
We spent several days on the water as we journeyed to Cinnabar Island, so there couldn't have been any around then. I don't remember seeing any while we were on Cinnabar Island either, but I might have missed it. I could ask the others if they have seen any though.
Do you think they might be connected to this?

[Newt is greeted by the familiar smiling face of Ivy.
As usual she's surrounded by a gaggle of various Pokemon. Though she does appear a little... worn down? To be fair, it's most likely due to the lack of restful sleep everyone's been having.]
Newt, my daffodil, how have you been? I've missed your adorable face.

[Newt is a bit worn down himself, though it's mostly from traversing about other people's dreams in an attempt to help in whatever way he can.
He manages a smile at the sight of Ivy all the same, a gentle one as Queenie, who's settled beside him, waves at the familiar young woman.]
Pamela, it's very good to hear from you. [A pause as he looks her over.] I am willing to be you've been having just as much fun as the rest of us?

[The wizard nods, frowning softly.]
I believe they might be. They seem to be appearing in areas that aren't normal for them to be in and are rather..insistent on getting close to people. It's rather strange behavior.

[She looks confused for moment before her eyes flicker in recognition.]
Oh, you mean the dreams everyone's been talking about. Luckily, my rest has been relatively peaceful. [She points upwards and tilts the camera where he can see a Phantump and a large Pumpkaboo protectively circling her head.] Snaggy and Pepo were rather determined to keep the interlopers at bay.
I did attempt to search the forest but it didn't yield much. [She brushes a hand through her red hair and speaks casually.] No, I suffer from SAD. But it's an annual thing.
[Ivy gives him another smile.] It appears you'd benefit from a rest more than I would.

[That gets a look of relief crossing his face.]
I am very glad to hear that, Pamela. I was lucky enough to avoid nightmares of my own, as well, but it seems that many others weren't quite as lucky.
[He needed to touch base with Armin and make sure the young man was okay, speaking of which.]
Sad? Did something upset you? [Sorry, Ivy. That sort of thing wasn't, well, a thing where he's from.]
I'll be alright. Just been rather busy with all this forest nonsense. I, ah, attempted to speak with the Pokemon responsible but it didn't work out in my favor, I'm afraid.

Oh, Newt. You're adorable. No, it's seasonal effective disorder. It effects my mood and energy levels. It's rather... Bad for me during the fall. But luckily mine tends to pick up by mid winter.
[She sends him a wink.] Consider yourself lucky, I don't tend to socialize much when it's in effect.
[A small orange head appears by her arm as she talks.] Yes, they weren't the most talkative of creatures. And they certainly seemed to put a lot of my babies on egde.

[A sheepish look touches his face as he ducks his head, clearing his throat.]
My apologies. I've never heard of such a thing. Is it something that's always happened to you?
[It sounded rather dreadful--
Oh why did you have to add a wink? That finally gets him blushing some.]
I..I rather enjoy talking to you, Pamela. I wouldn't call it lucky not to hear from you.
[That took a lot out of him to admit, okay.
His momentary embarrassment starts to melt away when that little orange head appears, Newt making a thoughtful sound.] No, not at all. Not even with other Pokemon. [A small smile appears.] Hello there, little one.

Yes. Like I said, every year. Though, I'll admit it's not been as insufferable this time.
[She keeps her eyes fixed on him.] Well, that certainly is a relief. Afterall, talking to you is the only way I can placate not being able to meet you in person.
[The Charmander squeaks in shock at suddenly being brought into the spotlight of the conversation and tries to hide behind Ivy's elbow. Meanwhile, Ivy suddenly has the most playful smirk across her face.] Oh, I haven't introduced you.
[Ivy picks up the little creature who bashfully hides his face behind his hands.] I found this little one in Mt. Motar, looking very lost and alone. Tyler and I have gotten very attached to him.
[She strokes the top of the lizard's smooth head.] Newt, this is Newt. [Bright blue eyes peer out from behind claws curiously.]
