Taking Flight
Ben's been hard at work lately, between preparations for winter, managing supplies, and working on a special project. He's standing beside the ship he got from Misfire a while back, now painted, windows refitted, and fully repaired. It looks like a solid ship now that it's back in order. Now that it's fixed, he's proud of all his hard work. It's not a model from his world, but it's close enough that he's been able to learn how it works.
This thing's more of a shuttle than a ship, small and sleek, but enough to get the job done, It doesn't feel finished yet, he's decided. Something's missing, and he still has work to do. Maybe he'll feel out the Nexus for ideas.
He finds a spot in the industrial area where he lands the shuttle, standing beside it. Yes, it has a solid start, but it could use something to make it even better.
"I'm almost done," he asks someone who stops by, "but I think it's still missing a final touch. Of course I'm open to suggestions..."
Then there's a sound of fluttering. There's something with him - a small bird Pokémon perches on Ben's shoulder, one eye open. She watches anyone who approaches closely, but doesn't move. The Rookidee seems tired, staying close to him and nuzzling the side of his face.
"On another note, does anyone want to meet Morrigan? I met her in the Wilds, and she followed me home. Suppose she's joining the family, then." Morrigan makes a chirping sound. Ben smiles faintly. "If anyone has any tips on raising Pokémon, I'd love to hear them."

Ben looks to follow the voice, turning to see Laserbeak. He gives her a smile in greeting, letting Morrigan approach. "Hello, LB. You want to play with Morrigan? She doesn't understand Cybertronian, but I can give her the general sense of what you're saying."

LB tries just making friendly bird noises. But she is a much bigger bird than Morrigan is and she is a little worried that she might be scary.

"I think she does want to play with you - she's not easy to scare." Ben allows the Rookidee to get a closer look at LB.
