*Deep within the orchard, Sho quietly picks a few different variations of apples. The fellow was quite tall, which made harvesting his prize quite easy. What made it even easier was the Dragonite behind him.*
Maurice
She had decided to see if this place, the island, had any fruit-bearing trees she had not seen before. However, the orchard revealed itself to be home to beautiful trees that held apples of reds, greens, and even yellows. A Morpeko sat atop her shoulder, grabbing at low-hanging apples and failing to grab them with its stubby arms.
Jamie
*Sho, taking note of the woman and her small companion, gently passes a small net to Morpeko, and a basket to Marnie.* "Here y'are."

"Might help a tad."
Maurice
"Oh! Thank you. You scared me a bit, I didn't realize other people were here." Marnie held the basket on one of her hips, letting Morpeko reach for as many apples with the net as it wanted. It'd be rather embarrassing for its hunger switch to come in while talking with a stranger.
Jamie
"Oh, my apologies! It was not my intent to frighten, it just seemed like the little fellow needed a helping hand." *He scratches the back of his head, taking a step backward. He had to be cautious of how imposing he was.*
Maurice
"I'm sure Morpeko is enjoying your help, it gets fussy if it can't have what it wants." Marnie flashed a smile, adjusting the basket a little as more apples fell into it. She might just call another Pokemon out to hold the basket... And take Morpeko apple hunting.
Jamie
"Ah, my Persian is the same way. A pleasure to meet you, miss...?" *He continues harvesting as well, hopping up toward the higher branches.*
Maurice
"Marnie, and you might be?" They noted the man's height, sort of wishing they'd gotten the good end of the height genes too. Marnie set the basket down, letting Morpeko off her shoulder as well so that she could let out Grimmsnarl who picked up the harvest basket.
Jamie
"Sho!" *His head pops out of the branches, it seems the fellow is upside down. He drops another armful of fruits to his Pokemon, and looks to Marnie.* "I feel like I recognize your name... You don't happen to be from Galar, do ya?"
Maurice
Her eyes sparked with joy from being recognized, the recognition even if vague made her feel like her accomplishments really meant something. "I am from Galar, so is my brother. Not sure if he's here though.."
Jamie
"Oh! I recognize you know! You were in the Galar Tournament! Marnie, supported by your lil group. I really enjoyed your battle!" *Sho chuckles.*
Maurice
"My group? Ohh you mean Team Yell... Those annoying tagalongs." She picked her own apple, taking a bite of it and finding a surprisingly good taste in it. "Say, doesn't being upside down hurt your head?"
Jamie
"I've spent mosta my life doin' gymnastics and the like. I'll be okay for a bit longer, but I appreciate your concern." *Sho chuckles, quietly crawling down from the tree.*

"Is the apple good? I'm thinkin' of making pies outta these."
Maurice
"It is, actually. I'm surprised it's any good, usually apples are drier than this." Marnie watched the other climb down the tree, wondering if she could do so with as much ease. Probably not, but it would be worth a try in the future.
Jamie
"What apples have you been eating...? Have you cleaned em first? These fellas need a rinsing."
Maurice
"Yknow, regular apples in the wild? Ones you can buy from berry stores... Those are the only decent ones other than the ones here." Marnie realized there probably was dirt on the apple she had bit into, and just wiped it off with the hem of her dress. "I don't really clean fruit.."
Jamie
"Mmh. Fair 'nugh. Pass em here, I can clean those suckers right quick! Just a precaution I take."
Maurice
She took the basket from her Grimmsnarl, looking at the collection of just red apples Morpeko had gathered. "You're awfully kind, you know." *Maybe the island just affected everyone? There's not a chance everyone here is this kind.*
Jamie
"Just bein' nice to a stranger. Ain't no reason to be anythin' else." *He chuckles, shining an apple from his basket.*
Maurice
"Well now, I wouldn't be offended if you had been rude." Marnie took another bite of her apple before her Morpeko could come back and steal it from her- which it did. It was normal, the Morpeko acted like the one in charge and to please it Marnie went along with what it wanted, a never-ending cycle. "You said you were going to make a pie, right?"
Jamie
"Indeed! You could join me as I make it, if you'd like!" *Sho offers up a hand, giggling to himself as her Morpeko nabs the fruit right from her hands.* "Don't worry, I got plenty more."
Maurice
"I'd love to join you, I've never made pies before... Or seen anyone make them." Marnie looked at the others hand, hesitating just a moment before taking it. She made sure to return Grimmsnarl to its pokeball, not wanting it to be left behind.
Jamie
*He carefully hops back down to the ground, patting her hand.* "Awesome! Do you have a washcloth on you?"

"If not, I got one for ya."
Maurice
"Nope, I don't. I've just got a dress hem... Which is what I usually use." Marnie checked to make sure she had all of her pokeballs, the thought of possibly losing any was rather heartbreaking. She loved all her pokemon, even the troublesome rascal that Morpeko could be sometmes. Now though, her focus should be getting ready to make pies, not battling or fruit picking.
Jamie
"Mh, you can borrow one of mine then." *Sho was not used to such a cordial interaction with strangers. Most wanted a battle, his money, or something in between. It was refreshing for once that his kindness paid off. He tilts his head to the side.* "Alrighty, should we start cleanin' here or move elsewhere?"
Maurice
"It wouldn't be very practical to clean apples outside, since well outside has dirt and inside doesn't." Marnie thought about it, not having explored many inside areas at all... But she figure there had to be some sort of kitchen. Maybe the kitchen would be huge, or maybe there were lots and lots of just small kitchens? She placed Morpeko on her shoulder, letting it make small squeaks in protest.
Jamie
"Kitchen it is." *The run back to the mansion should be easy enough. Only a few miles away. That or he could make use of Dragonite! He jabs his thumb over toward his Dragonite, with a toothy grin.* "I can fly us on over, if you'd like."
Maurice
"Fly?" Marnie looked at the Dragonite, not knowing if she should jump for joy at the chance to fly or be fearful of being dropped. Morpeko returned itself to its ball, not taking the chance to possibly have the soul scared out of it. The orchard was lovely, she'd have to come back to it sometime in the future. "Only if you don't drop me."
Jamie
"I won't." *He calmly leads Marnie toward his Dragonite. The Pokemon cocks its head to the side, leaning down to sniff the passenger to be. Sho giggles as Dragonite poked Marnie with it's nose, sniffing about for an apple.* "Looks like he's looking for bus fare."
Maurice
Marnie grabbed an apple from the basket, holding it up to the Dragonite in hopes that was what he'd like. Initially, she would've hoped a couple of pats on the head would be 'bus fare', but it occurred that they were still in an orchard. She'd seen Dragonites before, thanks to the battles she got to watch back in Galar but never had the proper chance to ride one. "And you, do you have a fare as well?" She asked Sho, mostly joking but somewhat curious.
Jamie
*The dragonite gently accepts the apple, gingerly chomping down on the fruit with a small snort. Sho laughs, patting his friend's back with a toothy smirk, turning back to Marnie with a raised brow. He thinks for a moment...* "Well, I don't quite have a fare! I don't really want for much, it's a simple favor."
Maurice
Marnie wiped off her hand, not wanting residue pokemon spit clinging to her palms. Her jacket could be washed later since that's what she had wiped her hand off on... And plus long sleeves weren't good for making pies. "Wouldn't quite expect a riding fare from you anyway... You aren't exactly a taxi. I still think you should know your worth."
Jamie
"Eh, I don't really mind. People can show me my worth just by hangin' around and bein' decent." *Sho is a relatively simple fellow in that regard. He doesn't care about people's opinions of him, or receiving anything—he's in it to help others. Plus, this was a super simple affair—just giving a stranger a ride, he doesn't need anything in return.*

"Alrighty then. Ready?"
Maurice
"I think so, yes." At this point she was rather excited to learn what flying on a Dragonite felt like, wondering if it'd be a smooth ride like Corviknights. She clapped her hands together, making sure she really was ready to go. Maybe she'd get a relatively nice view of the island?
Jamie
*After Sho hopped onto the back of Iggy, he gently helps Marnie up onto the dragon-type. His grin flares back to life as he chuckles. After laying a hand on Iggy's back, he offers her a pair of goggles.* "The wind hurts the eyes a tad, so take these!"
