Log:
[ It's only been a short while since he's seen Clover in person, but somehow it feels like a long time.

The moment he realized Clover was in Johto, it had been obvious where he was going. Obviously, any good brother would leave as soon as possible and hike back towards New Bark Town. Which is what Snake had been doing for the past few days, Skitty in tow.

Clover -- the Skitty, that is -- was extremely diligent through this walk in particular. She tackled Rattatas before they even came out of the grass, and now she was looking carefully through the Route, keeping an eye out for her Master's sister, as he had told her.

... Not that Snake wasn't already doing a fine enough job of looking for Clover on his own. In fact, he was quite carefully searching as best he could (which was actually very thorough).

This is a brother on a mission. ]

[Clover is somewhere in Route 29. Somewhere closer to New Bark Town, as she had just left. It was the only way out of the town, and the first step to finding her brother.

So far, he was nowhere in sight. And she couldn't just sit down and rest, especially as a flock of Pidgeys flew by. According to Ted, plant types were weak against bird types, and those Pidgeys looked very close to normal birds. Clover was pretty sure Light, her Budew, was not yet ready to face them.

They continued to walk onward, Clover keeping Light close to her at all times. Nothing had popped out of the bushes or anything. Yet...]

[By now, Snake had kind of expected a surprise little sister to jump out of nowhere and tackle him to the floor--the fact that he had yet to see Clover worried him just the slightest.

... Of course, one thing he wasn't expecting was for his little Skitty to speed up suddenly, jumping over a ledge in the direction of what she thought was a very familiar looking pink-haired girl, who she had happened to catch sight of by chance.

Snake, on the other hand, is just wondering where she's suddenly running off to.]

-- Clover?!

[the cat one. know that part where there wasn't anything popping out of the bushes? Well, there's a certain Skitty and her trainer doing so... right now, in a burst of LEAVES and NOISE.

Surprise!]

[That voice. Clover promptly whips around toward the source of that call. There was a Skitty, but more importantly...

She's speechless. She doesn't know what to say. Talking to him over the gear was one thing, but meeting him in person was another. After a little over a week that felt more like a year than anything...Clover is rooted to the spot at first, staring at the man who had just arrived. At that moment, it's as if she has forgotten everything else, from her Budew to the entirety of the route.

Clover gasps.]

Light!

[Not the Budew, not the Light hiding behind Clover's legs. Although it perks up with a squeak that goes unnoticed.

And the hug? That will come later, when Clover has regained full use of her limbs.]

[For the Skitty, this is yet another successful mission. Excuse her as she begins to roll on the ground in self-achievement, before finally settling down at Clover's feet, observing her tentatively.

Snake, on the other hand, will merely pause for a moment.]

Ah. It seems Clover has found... well, Clover.

[oddly fitting, but he has his full attention on her almost immediately, completely pleased. the skitty looks up at the mention of her name, and then her master's sister's name, flicking her tail.]

. . . I'm glad you're all right. [not that she wouldn't be. but snake just had to say it. It was Clover, after all.]

[Sorry, but Clover's attention isn't on Clover right now. Light the Budew, on the other hand, is now peeking out from its hiding place at the Skitty. It won't have a hiding place for long, because the girl is now going to stride forward (avoiding...well, Clover), open her arms and hug her brother as tightly as she could.]

I'm glad you're all right too. [It was only over a week and she knew he was alive (if anything had happened to him, she was sure Junpei or someone else would have told her), but lkajdlfjadslfk SO HAPPY.

Clover already knew that Snake named his Skitty Clover, but that can be discussed later. Hugs first.]

[oh. oh my. Snake will be accepting that hug with all his love, putting his hands on her shoulders.]

My! You're always so quick to hug. [just a playful observation, because he really appreciates this. she's back now, oh my god. please excuse Snake as he hugs her back--he's missed her way too much.

Skitty!Clover is watching the scene with relative interest, but then shifts he attention to the Budew that was formerly at Clover's heels. She approaches him tentatively, her tail swishing, but doesn't do much else.]

[When you hug her, she'll just hug you even more tightly if that is even possible.]

Seeing you on the PokéGear is nothing compared to seeing you in person. [She just buries her face into his chest.]

[Light is now slowly approaching the Skitty as well after a moment of just...well, standing there. The Budew is a lot slower...possibly shyer?]

[at this rate he's not going be able to feel his bones. but that is okay because it's clover.]

That's true. It's also been a long time. [sob just holding her tighter. guys it's only been like a week BUT IT FEELS LIKE YEARS.]

[as for kitty clover, she is now going to paw in Light's direction, tentatively. approach closer... and then paw. approach closer... and then paw again.]

[CLOVER IS NOT EVEN LETTING GO. WHO WILL LET GO FIRST.]

Yeah. A really, really long time. Where were you?

[Light stops waddling over to Skitty!Clover, but keeps on staring. He moves one foot back as if wanting to flee, but decides against it.]

[little sister... snake is not going to let go just yet either--though to be completely honest, his body's getting kind of numb from clover's hug.]

Ah. Clover caused a bit of a... detour. [she ran off chasing something, and then hid.

... but, well, at least she's not hiding now. actually, kitty clover is full out in front of Light, now, and she's bringing a tentative paw to his budew-forehead.]

[She loosens the hug a bit to look over at the kitty and the Budew. Light is standing still and staring up at the paw.]

Your Skitty? Seven told me about her. He...even tried to impersonate you.

[oh, snake can breathe again! Great! Now excuse Skitty as she pushes on the paw slightly. Budew fall. Budew fall.]

. . . Impersonate? [what did seven do now.]

[Budew won't fall and will keep on looking at that paw. Why don't they get arms? Unfair. D=

Clover completely lets go and puts her hands on her hips.]

Yeah. He thought you naming your Pokémon after me was creepy.

[yeah skitty doesn't care. still shoving. fall over, light. |:

and ah, snake can actually move now. excuse him as he also pulls away from the hug, putting a hand up to his chin in thoughtfulness.] ... Is that what he thinks? [oh, seven.] Interesting.

[Light falls over, wiggling his feet as he tries to stand up. The heck, Skitty D=]

Yeah. He also thinks it's creepy that I named Light after you.

[Skitty is a winner. and, as a prize, she is now gracefully flopping...

right on top of Light.]

Hm. It's not that strange to name pets after your familiars, however.

[Ow ow ow hey what the heck Light will now try to push Skitty!Clover off. GET OFF.

Clover shakes her head. Of course, she's not going to stop there.]

Yeah, it's not.

[Anyway, while she remains oblivious to Light getting pwned by her bro's Skitty...]

So...what've you been doing since you got here?

[no kitty clover will not. she will now be pawing the ground... as she remains on top of the poor, poor budew.]

Not much, unfortunately. Training--as whoever brought us here wants us to do. [and missing lil sis but that's obvious. right.]

[Budew is flailing. Flailing his feet, since he has no arms to flail with, sadly. HALP.]

Same here. [AND WAITING FOR THE DAY SHE WOULD MEET UP WITH BIG BRO.] If they wanted to train Pokémon, they could do it themselves! Or maybe they wanted a mass training...

[olol kitty clover is mewling. yes, she is very much laughing at the poor, helpless budew.]

. . . Perhaps they all felt we needed experience in taking care of animals. [so many possibilities.]

[The Budew will now attempt to get back onto his feet. Again, IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE NO ARMS. It'll take him a while and a half.]

...Maybe. But for what? For the heck of it?

... If there's a reason other than that, I can't quite think of one.

[... well, now skitty feels pity. she'll shove her head lightly on budew's side, attempts to help it get up. BE GRATEFUL. 8|]

[BUDEW IS GRATEFUL he is now finally standing up. He seems to be nodding his head toward the Skitty? Yeah, we'll go with that.]

Neither can I. [Sigh.]

[... yeah skitty doesn't care about that. just curling up now.]

Well. We're both here, at least. [which is so much better than clover being here by herself, or being here by himself...]

[Budew is staaaaaaring at Skitty. He can't poke her, NO FINGERS. WHAT IS LIFE. But he does give her the Budew equivalent of a smile...]

Yeah, that's right. And while we're here, we'll stick together. [Even if Junpei and Seven and the others were around, it just wouldn't be the same if she wasn't with Snake. She would feel incomplete. And constantly worry about where he was and how he was doing and everything in between.

Clover takes his hand. Not the prosthetic one.]

At least our Pokémon seem to be getting along okay.

[poor, poor budew. too bad skitty is too busy sleeping to notice. yep. there she is. snoring.]

Of course we will. [Snake will not be letting Clover out of his sight, obviously. he'll give her hand a gentle squeeze.]

Now, how is... "Light", was he?

[Maybe a nudge with a green foot will help? And that's exactly what the Budew does. NUDGE.

Clover smiles, glancing at the Budew. Oh...well, he seems curious. Besides, it's not like a kick from him will hurt.]

He's level...three, I think? Probably close to four. He's really shy, but he can fight. Sorta.
