Explain This! {Flora//Mod?}

[Rarity]

Bugs cried out in the warmth of the forest's daytime. Clarissa cautiously made her way through the undergrowth and into one of the clearings, much calmer than she usually was due to the silent little Snubbull in her arms. She clung to him tighter now and again, but the Snubbull didn't appear to mind. In fact, he looked like he didn't feel much of anything, emotions or otherwise as he stared blankly ahead with the usual Snubbull grumpy expression.

"Spike.." said Clarissa, petting the pink Pokemon's head. No response.

"Why don't you ever play like you used to? We used to play all the time.." The Pokemon still didn't respond, as if he wasn't even in the same place as the trainer. She sighed, eyes filled with some deep and unexplained sadness as she sat under a big tree with the Pokemon.

"We'll rest here for a little while, won't we?"

At some point after Clary stopped to rest, the sound of a girl and a Pokemon could be heard down the path, going the opposite direction Clary originally had been. One of the two sets of footsteps stopped for a moment, then started again--quite a bit faster this time.

A very fluffy Flareon came barreling down the path and into the clearing, running straight for the girl as soon as she was spotted. The Flareon clearly didn't have any malicious intent what with its lolling tongue and bright eyes, though that could easily be mistaken when you're being targeted by a fire-breathing technically-should-be-predatory animal.

Either way, she stopped just short of Clary and bounced around the girl excitedly.

Meanwhile, a carrot-topped heavyset young lady was trying to catch up. "Bonbon! No! Come.. Come back here...." She was clearly out of breath from having run even that short distance. Once the Flareon had returned--to her ball, because the Flareon was too excited to listen properly--she turned to the girl in the clearing and said, "Oh Arceus I'm so sorry, she usually doesn't... You're okay, right?"
