A familiar Braviary zooms past, and an Ursaring runs down the road, slowing down as she gets close to Heather. She roars a hello, waving a giant paw, and then -

- well, that sure is a red-tailed hawk chasing the Braviary, wheeling around so that he comes back towards Heather.

<Hey!> He lets out a shriek, wild and joyful, as he lands on the Ursaring's head.

Somehow, in dreams, it doesn't even strike her as weird to be spoken to in her head by a bird the likes of which Johto has never seen, a red-tailed hawk.

She looks up at the screech, a broad grin sweeping across her face, as Tobias swoops down to alight on the bear.

"Heeeey, Birdboy! Lookin' good! You got your feathers back!"

[wing_attack]

<Yep! It feels great to stretch my wings again!>

Rachel huffs her approval, grinning too. Tobias adjusts his position so he's not digging into her head, and spreads his wings a little to balance... and maybe show off a little.

<How's life on the road going?>

[foolishwren]

Heather doesn't mind the showing off one bit. It's just nice to hear the boy happy.

"Well, I'm not sure where I'm going, or why I'm ON the road again, but it's pretty nice, all things considered. I kinda missed that traveling trainer life, y'know?"

[wing_attack]

<Yeah, I know. It's fun. It's nice to be able to do things on your own time and in your own way.>

Not having to deal with store hours is useful, for one.

[foolishwren]

"Yeah, heh. No obligations."

Not that she really had too many right now, all things considered. She and Henry didn't even have to pay rent.

But hey.

Still a nice dream.

"Well, I'm not sure where this road goes, but can't hurt to follow it."

[wing_attack]

<Pretty much. That's what I'm planning on doing. Besides, the heat makes for pretty good thermals.>

Thermals are Important, okay Heather.

[foolishwren]

She'd paid attention in chemistry but not so much in environmental science-- she looks up at him questioningly as she starts to walk.

"Thermals?"

[wing_attack]

Rachel walks alongside her, lifting a paw to keep her trainer on her head.

<Yeah. They're warm columns of air. Warm air rises, so when the sun heats the ground, it heats the air above it. Lots of times I'll ride one up high enough so that I can get where I'm going by mostly gliding instead of flapping.>

[foolishwren]

"... Oh! Well hey, that makes sense. Y'learn something new every day, I guess!"

She grins, looking up at the sky and shielding her eyes against the sun beating down.

"Explains why flying always seems less bumpy in the summertime... though I guess flying on a Pokemon isn't the same as doing it yourself, huh?"

[wing_attack]

<It's not, but it's still pretty fun. Regal's always eager to fly, at least. And I think that most Pokemon that spend enough time with their trainers think of them like really good friends or family, and you'd give them a ride in a car or something if you could, right?>

Regal screeches his agreement overhead as he zooms past once more.

[foolishwren]

"Oh yeah-- mine never seem bothered about flying me anywhere. 'Cept for that one time when Sunny refused... aaaand I guess Hurricane gets sorta nervous when I spring a flight on him unexpectedly..."

... Okay yeah actually maybe her Pokemon ARE a little wary about flying her places sometimes.

But that's past history.

"Oh well. I get what you mean."

[wing_attack]

<I think it might be because I really like flying.>

Rachel growls her agreement. She can't ride, but she knows that Tobias loves it a lot.
