Who: usegalacticpunt and heirband
Where: Cherrygrove City
When: Forward-dated to Monday afternoon
Rating: I can't imagine it will get anywhere past a light PG
Summary: It's been months since Chie saw her best friend in person, so of course she's booking it to meet Yukiko at Cherrygrove. Be prepared for a fluffy reunion scene, ladies and gentlemen.


[The residents of Cherrygrove are used to trainers and their Pokémon coming through at all hours, so the giant Gyarados zooming in from the north barely draws any attention at all. Chie carefully slides off Goldie's back and drops to the ground, wiping her brow. It's been a tiring trip, especially in the summer heat, but she's here.

She turns to give the exhausted Goldie as much of a hug as she can, arms barely reaching partway around the serpent's neck.] Thanks, Goldie. Sorry to push you so hard, but... You understand, right? [Goldie nods, and then rears up to let out a proud -- though somewhat weak -- cry. Chie chuckles and shakes her head.] Right, what was I thinking? That wasn't anything you couldn't handle. I'll drop you off at the center and let you rest for a while, though. Good work.

[With that, Chie calls Goldie back into her Pokéball and looks around.] Man, it feels like it's been forever since I was all the way back here. [She starts toward the local inn, almost bouncing with anticipation with every step. After all this time, she's about to see Yukiko again...]

[ It had been quite the journey to get to Cherrygrove. There had been wild Pokemon all around trainer and her Pokemon! In the bushes, in the grass, and even in the trees! When Yukiko embarked out onto Route 29 she had never even imagined there would be as many wild Pokemon as there were there. Luckily for her though, some decided to attack her .. And, well, some didn't. For every one that came close, Chousokabe used Roar and scared them away. For those who were looking for more of a fight, Yukiko tried her best to fight alongside him and give him directions. They were rusty, very very rusty with communication .. But they were getting better. Slowly.

She could tell that the Growlithe wanted to protect her, even though he could be a bit childish sometimes. Still, he was just a puppy.

After days of walking (resting too, of course), she finally reached Cherrygrove! The young girl released a sigh of relief, and took Chousokabe into her arms to carry him the rest of the way. She didn't really like the idea of keeping him in his Pokeball, she felt bad confining him. She knew what it was like to be confined, or to feel that way. She would never want someone else to feel like that.

Making her way to the Inn, she stops in her tracks--

There's a familiar figure just ahead of her also making their way there. Was that--? Could it really be--? Was she really here? ]

Chie! Chie is that really you? [ And so she runs, puppy still in her arms towards her best friend.

Her feet come to a hault, she needs to catch her breath. But she still tries to call out her friend's name. ]

Chie!
