Who: Edward Elric, Alfons Heiderich, and anyone else who wants to call Ed a shorty.
Where: Route 29
When: Today, likely extending to the next two days.
Summary: Ed got a message from Katara who is currently in Cherrygrove, and Ed plans on meeting her there.
Rating: PG-13 since Ed has such a terrible potty mouth.
Log:

Ed stood at the edge of New Bark Town, holding the map he had in his pack and frowning. Was this thing even to scale? He folded it back up and sighed. "We're not gonna get anywhere just by staring at a map." He knelt to pick up Aurum (his Pichu), but the little Pokemon nimbly scaled his arm and rested on his shoulder. Ed could still feel an electric charge coming from him, but it was much better than being outright shocked with who know who many volts.

"Ready to go?" He glanced at Alfons and started walking without waiting for an answer. The road wasn't the greatest, but it still beat no road at all.

That too!

Alfons, for his part, had read the trainer manual that they'd been given. "I think that's how it's supposed to work." Not that it seemed very nice, but...

Alfons felt kind of sorry for the poor thing. "You can catch others to take with you."

Ed had read the trainer's manual as well. The problem was that he didn't really care about remembering much in it. He just wanted to find a source of water to jump in. Or some shade. Or both.

"Oh, yeah. I think I read that in the manual." Aurum had reattached himself to Ed's leg. "Hey. I told you to walk yourself."

Ed took a gulp of water from the water bottle that was in the bag and wiped off some sweat. "Let's keep going before my automail cooks me alive."

Before his...oh, that made sense. Edward's arm and leg were made of metal, weren't they? They would conduct heat. Far more than the prosthetics that Hohenheim had created, that was for sure.

"There's a few shade trees around. Maybe we should wait until later in the afternoon, when the sun isn't so hot..."

If the heat was making Edward so uncomfortable, that is.

Ed didn't answer. Instead, he took Al's offer and trudged to the nearest tree, leaned against it, and slid down the trunk. He pulled his black coat off his automail and let it drop next to him on the ground. Aurum didn't seem to like the idea of taking a break despite the heat, and he tried to grab Ed's automail arm to tug on him, but it was slightly too hot and he burned his little paws. "Not fun, is it?"

"I told that girl I'd be there in two days. If this weather keeps up, it'll take forever." He lifted his head and gazed at Alfons. "If I die, save yourself." Despite dead-pan voice, Ed was joking. Al (his brother) and Winry would kill him if he died.

Aurum didn't get it though, and picked up Ed's water bottle, squirting him in the face.

Alfons couldn't help but laugh, as he opened his arms and let Schatzi down. "Apparently that's not allowed."

He settled in the grass near where Edward had let himself fall, leaning back on his hands.

"You're not going to die." Honestly, Alfons half believed that wasn't possible, if all the stories Edward told were indeed true. "We'll just wait a while. It'll be fine."

"Maybe not, but it still sucks. It's almost as bad as when I went into Xing." Ed grabbed his water bottle from Aurum and squirted some water back into it's face before drinking more.

"Pi-"

"Hey, you had it coming."

Ed then opened his bag and took out a Pokeball, turning it in his hands, examining it closely. "The manual said we use these things to catch other Pokemon." He held it next to his Pichu. "Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't look like it would make a comfortable fit."
