No problem, it's what I'm here for. [ Okay, so maybe the Shinsengumi technically isn't charged with protecting this place as much as they were back home with Kyoto, but Shinpachi just feels an instinctive kind of need to protect people all the same. ]
Although this incident didn't seem so harmful to begin with, so maybe you got lucky.. for the better, though.
[ Erika definitely doesn't seem like a person who deserves to get hurt. ]
Even if you already had a little help with you. [ Like creatures firing huge beams.. who even knows, man. Weird future stuff, probably. ]
[Who, Erika? She’s a sleeping sweetie, and nothing bad deserves to happen to her ever ever. Her Pokemon would completely agree, too. She is the nicest nice girl that ever did nice. Except, y’know, when you make her angry. All the same, she smiles and bows politely]
My Pokemon had it well in hand, but assistance is never unappreciated. My name is Erika, and I owe you a debt of gratitude.
Nah. [ He quickly shakes his head. ] You don't owe me anything, really. It's only human nature to help each other when someone's in trouble.
[ Except not really, and he does know there's some real shitty people out there, but that doesn't mean he won't insist that this is just The Right Way Of Doing Things and won't accept anything in return for it. ]
Still-- it's nice to meet you. I'm Shinpachi, Nagakura Shinpachi. Nice to meet you as well, even if the circumstances're a little weird.
Oh, he's got plants bowing at him. What does he even do at that?! He stares at the plants in a sort of confused near-panic for a moment or two before he carefully just tries.. bowing.. back at them..??
Is this what he's supposed to do. Is this the kind of politeness you're supposed to show creature-plants. ]
[ That's a lot of names to remember all at once.. but he'll try his best. Something like that. Even if they have double names. ]
So it's something like animals.. except.. plants. [ He's trying to make sense of this, give him a moment. Since they do walk around, and he's never seen a plant do that. Hell, there's probably not even any of those outside of Japan anywhere. ]

[She bows again, and all of her companions turn and do the same thing. Yep. That's right. Bowing plants.]

So.. uh.. [ Once he's standing upright again-- ]
Do they have names too?
no subject
They do, of course! [She'll go around and introduce them.]
Venusaur, Bellossom, Exeggutor, Tangrowth, Vileplume, and Whismicott. And their given names are Venus, Belle, Eggsie, Tangles, Plume, and Whimsy.

.. Planimals?
[ At least it's a creative solution, right. ]
