a deal's a deal
Who: Tsubasa Hanekawa (stressed) and Xemnas (firstnothing)
Where: Violet City
When: September 7th
Summary: The delivery of a Growlithe
Rating: G-PG
Log:
[ Yesterday was another day of sorting paperwork and collecting data, though it wasn't a boring day by far. With each passing hour, Tsubasa was beginning to learn more about the Pokemon world and how it functions. Being so close to the trainer school, as well, gave her the opportunity to learn more about battling, training, and the culture of this world. Pokemon battles were an important element, and although Tsubasa was only a breeder - it was important she learned these things. Being thrust into a place where she knew nothing made her extremely self conscious, and so she did her best to absorb all the knowledge she could. She wouldn't know everything, but knowing what she could would be enough.
Today however Tsubasa was just wandering around Violet City - her Glameow was in her arms and the rest of her Pokemon were in their respective balls. It was one habit she couldn't break, her wanderlust, and it followed her even here. After what felt like a long period of walking, she stopped in her tracks. Looking over her shoulder she checked to see what was in that direction, cause by the sound of it, someone was coming.
Lucky her! ]

So teleporting half-way made it much easier on everyone involved. Which means he'd arrived in Violet City a little while ago, and had time for a brief side-conversation with one of his old minions before setting out to find Tsubasa, accompanied by the zebstrika and exuberant growlithe.
The growlithe doesn't understand why they're here, only that it's a new place, and happily darts from location to location to sniff new smells.
It's the sound of hoofbeats and the faint jingle of collar-charms that mark his approach, once Tsubasa is located. He collars his pokemon - but noticeably the growlithe lacks such a collar.[
no subject
kneeling down, she lets the glameow go out of her arms to meet with the other pokemon. it sits in front of tsubasa, protecting her, as if he thought that the bigger man and his pokemon posed some sort of threat. after giving the catlike pokemon a small pat on its head, she stands up straight once more. ]
It's nice to meet you, Xemnas-san. Though we've already met, this is the first time we've met in person. I take it that buzzing puppy is the Growlithe?
[ kneeling down once more, she put her hand out so that the growlithe could come smell her before she gave it a proper hello. this is what you do with dogs, right? due to tsubasa changing her attention onto a different pokemon, the glameow looked rather irritated - leaning down with his rear in the air. it looked like he was waiting for the right moment to pounce on the growlithe..
this is what happens when you start off with a catty pokemon... ]
He is rather cute.. come here Growlithe, I won't hurt you. I won't let the Glameow hurt you either, I promise.
[ she's trying to be as friendly as she possibly can be, so that the growlithe sees her as a friend and not a threat. ]
no subject
The growlithe did not count as 'his' as far as he's concerned.]
Miss Tsubasa. Yes, that is the growlithe I mentioned. Fairly high energy but obedient enough. Were it not quite so excitable..
[Maybe he'd keep it if it wasn't.
There is something of a fairly stern presence to him in spite of his typically pleasant tone, but some people were like that. It didn't seem to bother his pokemon any. As soon as Tsubasa makes the dubious mistake of getting down at the growlithe's level, she's immediately homed in on. Anyone in licking range deserved what they got! The feline glameow is completely disregarded in favor of happily bouncing over to Tsubasa and doing its best to climb right onto her and lick anything in range, tail a happy plume.]
I believe it is a female. As you can see, it is quite happy to be friends with ... just about anyone or anything, I'm not sure it even realizes there might be hostile things in the world. The woman at the pokemon center- [Probably Nurse Joy] -said it was a very affectionate creature. Does it suit you, or offend you? You may not even have to battle it to capture it.
[Yep, that's a very affectionate growlithe. Friendly sort, that's absolutely certain. It's the sort of creature a person with a family might want as a pet, but Tsubasa might not qualify. The mention of capture perks small fuzzy ears, the growlithe swiveling around to give Xemnas a puzzled look.
Pokemon are intelligent. But he hadn't told it why they were in Violet City.]
no subject
[ thud. she gets pushed back onto the ground with the growlithe on top of her. she certainly wasn't expecting the little one to do such a thing. none of her pokemon were quite as exciteable, actually, they were the opposite. so to be lovingly attacked by a little one like this was a shock to her. the licking of her face tickles though, so she can't help but laugh. ]
I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to call it a boy, I'm still getting used to these creatures. [ picking up the little pokemon she tries to get it off of herself and sit it down on the ground. the facelicking out of nowhere was quite rude! after a bit of hassle, she does, and it sits with her tongue hanging out. it was exactly like a dog, right to the t. ]
She does not offend me, I can assure you that. [ brushing herself off, she stands back up on two feet. she wouldn't want to go back to the inn with dirt all over her, after all. ] It might take some discipline, but with time she could prove to be a useful teammate.
[ this causes the growlithe to bark happily and run all around her feet, it must have really liked hearing that it could be "useful". she stumbles around a little from all the running around her feet before releasing a bit of a sigh. the little thing could become a headache very fast, and she was beginning to realize why there were never pets in the hanekawa household. ]
She seems to have taken a liking to me at the very least, though my Glameow isn't very fond of her.. [ before the glameow could pounce on the growlithe, tsubasa returns him back to his pokeball. she's had to do that a lot lately, unfortunately, since he could be rather possessive at times of who or what his owner was paying attention to. ]
no subject
[Especially since every single one, even the mammals, kept all their 'obvious' gender bits neatly tucked inside and out of sight, making telling them apart at a glance sometimes a bit of a chore. Some pokemon did have visible differences but those were usually things like mane lengths or mild color variations.
Xemnas hadn't bothered to memorize any of it.]
If your feline is so unfond, perhaps it is the glameow that will need more discipline. A good team is not based on one being tolerant of another's ill temper, but the ill temper being dealt with directly. As they are not 'cats and dogs', one should not encourage or allow them to act like the false stereotype of 'cats and dogs'.
[It's an almost-gentle warning. They might look like pets, but they're absolutely no such thing, and it was better to not let the mindset settle in, or bad things could result. Especially for a breeder.
After all, glameows and growlithes shared an egg group.]
Do you plan on a battle to establish control and your own place as its trainer?
no subject
Yes.. [ the volume of her voice falls quiet, it wasn't until someone actually came up to her in person that everything really.. sunk in. before now, it was still sort of a dreamy reality. nothing felt final or set in stone, but now it did. tsubasa hanekawa was no longer in japan, she was in johto, and she was supposed to be a pokemon breeder. the surreal feeling washes over her again, and when he asks her the question of whether or not she wishes to establish control over the pokemon she snaps out of it. ]
Oh.. that's right. I would. It just so happens that I recently received a level 32 Aerodactyl in my box a few days ago. Her strength is far greater than that of the little pup. It might be too much, but it should be enough!
[ reaching into her bag, she pulls out the pokeball containing urd, that.. well.. appeared in her box one day. ]
Come on out. [ and with that, she released the aerodactyl. it was fairly large compared to the small puppy. when tsubasa released it, it took a look around to see where the rest of the team was and looked back at tsubasa. hesitant, because they were still forming a bond, she walked forward to pet the fossil pokemon. ]
Let's battle it, okay..? [ the aerodactyl let out a cry, stood tall, and flapped its wings, ready to go. she was a very proud pokemon and.. well.. the poor.. little.. growlithe. it's a shame tsubasa doesn't really care.. ha..ha..... ]
no subject
[And perhaps not having an easy time of it, either. Xemnas had encountered a person who claimed this entire world was a game not so long ago, if she saw it similarly adjusting would be even more difficult.]
Be advised against assuming level is the qualifier for what wins all the time, miss Tsubasa. My Regret recently defeated a pokemon over twenty levels stronger than her.
[The zebstrika is given a light pat on the neck; it's when she evolved actually. He was still pleased with her tenacity. Still, the growlithe isn't going to have the advantage of Xemnas and tactics to help it, which was primarily the reason a very young blitzle had beaten a level 45. As the aerodactyl appears, Xemnas studies it. Larger than most.. that's always useful.
He still needed to find one large enough to possibly carry him without worry that he might break its back.
As Tsubasa and her aerodactyl prepare for battle, the growlithe looks a little bewildered, glancing back at Xemnas, who shrugs.]
You're still wild, pup. You're fair game. This is your fight, not mine.
[His reminder isn't exactly mean, said almost gently. He'd never caught the growlithe, he didn't consider it part of his team. The growlithe has to actually consider this now too, and that Tsubasa means to do her own catching. It turns, sharp teeth bared, focusing on the aerodactyl. It's a bad type-match and Xemnas knows it. Fire doesn't fare so well against rock.]
I'll get out of the line of fire, so to speak.
[With that, Xemnas herds his own pokemon off to the side - the ones he claimed his and would tenaciously keep. The growlithe would have to fight on its own.]
no subject
Urd, are you ready?
[ she asks, turning to the pokemon beside her. it lets out a cry and stares at the small growlithe, ready to strike whenever she gave the command. this was her time to show her pokemon that she was worth its attention. she could do that, right? hopefully.
outstretching her arm, she points at the tiny growlithe. once everything was clear for the battle, and she knew that the growlithe was ready she looks back at the pokemon and calls out her first command: ]
Aerodactyl, use Wing Attack!
[ the aerodactyl flaps its wings and hovers above the ground - it then flies toward the growlithe aiming to hit it with its left wing. ]
