Being back in Alto's woods felt amazing! Sera had avoided the whole area for so long for fear of running into her dad, even though avoiding his usual routine spots should have been enough. What if he was out on a field research job that day? What if he was doing some obscure errand to win brownie points for a higher up? The slim possibilities had been enough to scare her away save for a few quick hops in and out for swarms, or to visit mom on days she knew he wouldn't be around, and even those were generally cut short just in case.
But now?! Now she'd won the Star Festival, and in the weeks since she'd been getting endorsement deals. Niso's love and support had already softened a lot of the impact people could have on her, she was pretty sure, but she'd never been willing to risk it. NOW, she was demonstrably on the rising path of stardom, a fledgling idol. If he dared try to say she was embarrassing him or wasting her life, she could laugh in his face. If he tried to act proud and buddy-buddy with her now that she was gaining her own success, she could laugh even harder.
So yes, these were her woods now, and who cared who she met along the way?
This wasn't the first time she'd pretended she was in some kind of magical realm as she explored-- that was a childhood staple!-- but today in particular she had extra cause. She'd heard rumors of a white Stantler, and she was determined to seek one out. Her own elusive white stag!
So, in her favorite red cloak and an outfit aesthetic somewhere between "girl scout" and "casual summer fashion ad", she skipped about through the woods, hopping from this log to that rock, swinging on that branch, and so-on. She was probably making too much noise, but her Luxio was helping her keep an eye out. Her Braixen was, too, but she was less effective at it. Still, Sera simply had to bring a lion and a witch for this wardrobe adventure.

Emi was pretty sure she was lost.
Scratch that.
Emi was just about positive at this point that she was lost.
But if she was going to be lost, at least she was lost somewhere interesting. The forest she was now wandering through wasn't the hot springs she had been seeking out, but it was beautiful nonetheless, even if she had lost track of which way was which. The sun was shining, the bird Pokemon were chirping... All in all, it was a good day to be lost.
And after all, it wasn't like she was on a strict schedule. (Or any schedule, for that matter.) Being without plans was wonderfully freeing like that.
Emi's Pokemon were taking their impromptu walk through the woods well, too, or so it appeared. It made sense that Sola was having a good time--after all, Emi had caught the Deerling in woods not unlike these. But the others seemed to be having a good time as well. Palette was doodling indecipherable marks on random trees, Manny was transforming into anything and everything that caught their eye, Eclipse was wandering to and fro...
Wait! What was that noise?
Emi stopped moving--she wasn't getting much of anywhere anyway--and listened closely.
Someone or something was definitely making a ruckus nearby.
Emi headed towards the source of the noise, excited to discover what was to come next in her impromptu woodland adventure.

Sera was letting her imagination run free today, in the best way rather than the anxiety-inducing way, ha! Yes, her logical brain knew that rustling sound was probably a bird taking off or a bug hiding in the brush, buuuuut... what if it wasn't! What if that was the evil sorceress spying on them! What if it was a magical unicorn-- no Rapidash but a genuine unicorn-- darting away just out of sight! She was certainly reacting as if each new thing was.
Giggling, she chased a sound she determined must be something exciting, only to round a cluster of trees to find a small girl a few yards in front of her. "OH!" She stopped in her tracks, a blend of surprised and suddenly self-conscious, though the latter was only for a fleeting moment before her love of fun kicked it out.
Taking the girl in for a moment, Sera's face finally lit. "Oh my GOSH you're ADORABLE." Good first impression? Eh, maybe? "Wait! You're not a fairy princess here to steal me away to the fae realms are you?" she somewhat dramatically 'accused'. Or maybe not.

So the source of all that ruckus was a girl, someone just as deep in the woods as she was! And the girl was about her own age, too, from the looks of her. Perhaps this was destiny, Emi's aimless meandering through the forest all just a prelude to her gaining a new friend! Or, at the very least, she had found someone she could ask for directions.
Emi briefly imagined how she would look if she were truly a fairy princess. It was true that the dress she had chosen to wear today was rather on the fanciful side, but a real fairy princess would have a tiara to match, or maybe a crown--ooh, maybe one made of leaves or flowers, to match their current surroundings, to look like a proper ruler of the realm...
Also, if she really were a fairy princess, she would probably look more elegant than, well, adorable.
After a moment, Emi turned to the other girl and replied to her overly-dramatic accusation.
"Unfortunately not, I'm as human as you are--assuming you're a human at any rate, and not a Zoroark in disguise or something--or maybe you're the real fairy princess here, undercover?"

Awww, what a disappoint-- Oh!? Oh, Sera could definitely have fun with this. She gasped loudly, hand moving to her chest in a truly taken-aback gesture.
...What are you going to do, her Luxio asked suspiciously, but Sera simply thought back the general impression of 'you'll see'.
"Clever human! You've see through my ruse!" Sera declared. "Alas, I am not royalty-- but I am a close friend and former consort of the Fairy King! Certainly, I am no one to trifle with~" She grinned wickedly as she spoke, though her Pokemon both looked vaguely embarrassed, Ionel cringing and Leiyara turning sheepish and laughing softly.
"May I have your name, human~?"

Emi had read enough fairy tales over the years to know the proper response to this (or what the proper response would be if she was actually dealing with one of the Fair Folk, at any rate). She didn't hesitate to respond, even though her Pokemon were all shooting her looks that fell somewhere between confusion and embarrassment.
"You may not have my name, but you may call me Em." Emi continued to speak, a smile slowly building on her face with each word. "And what about yourself? What name should I call you by, oh great friend of the Fairy King?"
She bowed at the end of this pronouncement, as if she really were speaking to royalty, trying and only partially succeeding in suppressing a small giggle as she did so.
This was such fun.

UH! How dare she ruin Sera's trickery by being aware of fairy lore! (In reality, Sera was positively giddy, but she had to play the part, don'tcha know.) Out loud, she even heard 'Em' as 'M', and assumed the girl was only giving her an initial rather than a name to be extra safe.
Huffing, she lightly lashed, "No fair, no fair! Human M, you have foiled my fun." She crossed her arms poutily, looking up and away. After holding this a moment, she finally deflated a bit and sighed. "Very well. For proving such a clever girl I shall grant you the gift of knowing what to call me."
Red eyes slid over to side-eye her slyly for a moment before Sera shifted gears, doing a dancing twirl about with flourish-- "I..." and ending on a bow that rose up into a bit of a 'tada' pose, "am Serafeyna~!" She wondered both if the girl would recognize her name from her contest career, and if not if she would question the legitimacy of the 'fey' in her name or even see it as evidence she may indeed be otherworldly.

Emi recognized the name Serafeyna, but only vaguely, distantly. It wasn't the name of anyone she had met before, that much she knew, but details beyond that she struggled to recall. She was fairly certain that she had come across it recently--perhaps when studying up on Veria before making her way to the region proper, or while watching the news when relaxing back in Caravella--and not, say, in a book of fairy tales from when she was much younger.
Fairly certain.
Though the "fey" part of the name did make her wonder... either there was an awfully big coincidence in her new acquaintance happening to have a name reminiscent of the Fair Folk, or the name really was taken from a storybook, one way or another. (Perhaps the original Serafeyna was from a tale that Emi couldn't quite remember, and the other girl was borrowing her name as well as her role; part of Emi thought that perhaps she should have similarly taken the name of some old fairy tale heroine, more fully hiding away her true identity for the time being.)
Regardless, she was willing to see this story through, with whatever twists and turns it had left to take.
"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Serafeyna."

Sera giggled softly as the girl continued to play along. She could admit she was a tad disappointed in the lack of reaction, but it was all well and good. She knew she was hardly a household name yet, even if her following was growing. So this was reasonable.
Straightening up a bit, she crossed her arms. "Well then, Human M. Perhaps you can tell me what you're doing in--" A rustling in the trees caught both her Pokemon's ears, and a half-second later they had communicated this telepathically to Sera.
Without breaking eye contact, without looking around, Sera noted, "Ah. It seems we have some other visitors." Clearly she Just Knew this or Felt it due to being one with the forest or some other magical explanation.

"We do?" Emi squeaked, looking around in all directions and seeing nothing at first glance. After stopping to listen for a moment, however, she overheard a faint rustling in the treetops. (How had Serafeyna--or whatever her true name was--noticed the disturbance so much more quickly than herself? Emi wasn't entirely sure, though she had a few half-formed ideas running through her head.)
"We do!" Emi repeated with more verve in her voice, prompting the rustling in the trees to speed up. In a few moments, the two visitors revealed themselves. There was a Pansage climbing through the branches speedily... and a Panpour that was just as speedily headed towards the ground, evidently having made a misstep in his own climbing.
Emi didn't think twice. She ran towards the Panpour and jumped to catch him, cradling him in her arms. The landing was a bit rough, true, but it couldn't be any worse than what the Pokemon had been facing otherwise.
"It's okay, it's okay, I got you." Emi whispered to the Panpour... who then proceeded to spit water in her face and jump out of her reach. It wasn't the force of a full Water Gun, but it was still enough to dampen both her hair and her spirits moderately.
As the Panpour scampered towards the tree in which his compatriot was still zooming around, Emi jumped into action, gesturing towards the two Pokemon of her own that could jump into action just as quickly. "Sola! Eclipse! Go after that Panpour!"
The Deerling let loose an Energy Ball as the Ralts sent off a Psychic attack; between the two, the Panpour was left dazed and unable to fight back or escape. The Pansage above stopped moving from tree to tree, instead silently staring at the now-motionless Panpour.
Emi grabbed a Poke Ball and ran over to the Panpour's side.
"You're an obnoxious little squirt, you know that? Oh hey, squirt, like what you just did--I think that's your nickname picked out then!"
Emi unceremoniously poked the Panpour with the Poke Ball, capturing him.

Sera stayed on guard as she waited to see what the monkeys would do. One seemed to fall, poor dear, but Emi was getting it, thankfully. Satisfied with that, she turned back to see if the other was going to come check on its friend when she heard Emi cry out and the sound of gurgling water. A ruse!?
Just then, the Pansage lept toward Sera. "Leiyara!"
The Braixen had become a Deerling in headlights; she was used to coordinated endeavors, not on the spot pressure. By the time she fully processed and reached for her wand, Ionel had already jumped to intercept the Pansage with a Crunch, pulling her to the ground. She struggled and Vine Whipped at his face to get him to release her arm, but he quickly Crunched her other instead, leaving her rather worse for wear.
"Oh! That'll work, good job Ionel." Looking back to see Emi capturing the Panpour, Sera decided she may as well, and tossed a ball at the Pansage to cut the battle short.
As it disappeared into it and the ball wriggled, she turned back to Emi. "Guess we should keep an eye out, huh? There might be a Pansage here somewhere too." She laughed lightly, unsure whether she really believed it would be that perfectly convenient or not.

Emi smiled as she replied; Serafeyna's laughter was contagious enough to raise her own spirits as well. "That would be quite the coincidence! Fingers crossed!"
Emi heard the trees rustling, noticeably louder than they had before; she looked over at the source of the noise and saw some of the trees shaking violently, a number of leaves falling to the ground as the trees that held them were pushed aside.
"And what have we here?" Emi asked. "Somebody to round out the trio for us, I hope?"
Two trees nearby parted, revealing a most interesting sight: a Gengar shoving her way through the forest while cradling a sleeping Komala in her arms.
The Gengar stopped to look at the two of them, and Emi felt a chill run down her back as she returned the Pokemon's gaze. Emi looked to Serafeyna and managed to squeak out a few words.
"That... is definitely not a Pansear."
