route_1065 | Happy nerd time with Bakura

Who: Bakura and whomever else is around
Where: Violet
When: Sunday, 5/22, before most of the water pokemon started really losing their minds.
Summary: Bakura's Dratini egg has arrived! Time to walk around town with it and be a gleeful nerd about holy crap, dragon egg, coolest thing ever.
Rating: G for Derp
Log:

Every now and then Bakura though he had finally adjusted to this new world without going into a mental fanboy flail over holy crap, being in a RPG world. Then he'd discover something new, or something amazing would happen and he was back to his first day of wide eyed gleeful this is the BEST THING EVER.

Today was one of those days as he cradled an egg in his arms, his ghostly duo of Misdreavus and Drifloon floating behind him while his Sableye trotted at his side and his Hoppip cheerfully watched from his normal perch in his hair.

A dragon egg. Words could not describe how amazingly cool the fact that he was holding a dragon egg in his arms was. Heck, how amazing the entire situation was! Real ghosts and fantastic creatures as his companions, and a dragon egg.

So. COOL.

[[so helpful, Ted, really. Gollum smiles up at him, however, carefully minding the egg in his arms as Bakura attempts to make peace with his starter.

There's a lot of wincing and screeching, but finally it dies down as it seems the pair have come to some sort of agreement. Bakura is looking a little worse for wear, however, as his head now really hurts...]]

[He looks up as soon as it sounds like the argument is over, amused.] Found a compromise?

[[such an awkward smile]] I think so...

[[Amane's stopped tugging and shrieking, and is looking rather smug from her perch on his head. Looks more like she won whatever the argument was.]]

Good. So how did you solve it? [He shall now return your Hoppip, Bakura.]

Aaa...

[[scratches at his cheek a little]] A lot of apologizing, mostly... [[why yes, he did just get bullied into submission by his starter]]

[[Annin gets to go on his shoulder this time. Amane ain't moving or sharing.]]

You are so not the trainer of that relationship. [He says in a singsong manner, thoroughly amused.]

[[shoulders slump. Yeeeah, he knows that.]] I don't know if I'd really call myself a trainer at all... [[if anything, his pokemon are training him!]] They're more companions and friends than anything like that sort of relationship anyway. [[admits sheepishly]]

There's nothing wrong with that, right? Though, I'm not really sure that's how friends normally act. [He ponders.] More like siblings?

[[It's hard to describe the expression on Bakura's face at that. Part wistful sorrow, part contentedness, part something that's just unreadable. He reaches up to put a fond hand on top of Amane.]] She lives up to her name.

[[and his friends almost always yell at him. Just... not normally this loud. ~~unless they're Jounouchi~~ and not with the hair pulling.]]

[A pause.] A namesake? [Mostly a conclusion to it considering he had earlier mentioned something about acting more like a sibling.]

[[nods]] Amane was my sister's name.

[[it was sort of odd to reflect on just how much he had talked about her since naming his starter after her. With her name being mentioned so often, was its hard for it not to happen.]]

I'm guessing she's quite stubborn as well, given your pokémon there.

[[another nod]] Once she got an idea in her head, there was no way to talk her out of it. [[smiles fondly]] We got into a lot of trouble because of that.

Sounds like she was quite a handful. [A beat.] You miss her, huh?

[[nods]] Yeah. I still write her letters, even here.

[A smile.] Planning on giving them to her when you get home?

[[a small, almost enigmatic smile]] Maybe.

[[he hadn't delivered her letters for quite a while. She could read them well enough no matter where he was, after all]]

[He notices the smile, curious, but deciding not to push it. Everyone had their secrets after all, and he didn't need to pry further.] Well, it was nice knowing you, Bakura. I better head off though, try to get him--- [He points to the pokéball that Bakura had given him.] in a place he's not going to go ballistic in.

I'll repay you for the pokéball, all right?

[[not so much a secret as just... well. "Dead sister" tends to end a conversation awkwardly.

He nods with a smile]] Don't worry about it. [[assures]] Good luck with him. Hopefully he'll be all right.

Thanks, same to you and your pokémon. You seem to need it more than I do.

Aaa-- [[ducks his head, utterly embarrassed.]] Thank you...
