Who: Bakura & Yuugi (& Malik & Crow & ...whoever!)
Where: Goldenrod
When: Late Morning of 2-13
Summary: A ride back to the big city took its own sweet time with the weather (with a side-trip for Poké-getting) and now a happy Yuugi and Bakura are landing at their new home.
Rating: H for HAPPY.
Log:

Look out below!!

[That happy little bellow came from a small man, floating steadily down to the streets of Goldenrod. The warning seems quite out of place, given he and his companion are falling at maybe half a mile an hour, the Drifblim taking its good time in coming in for a landing.

But that's been the order of the day for a few days now, as the weather turned nice and the trainer, breeder duo distracted, and the world turned so interesting. Why rush already worked fliers to get to town when the weather turned nice?

But here they finally are, plopping down right in the middle of town. And Yuugi should be asking where their new house is, or letting his two still-fresh Pokémon out of their Pokéballs.

Instead?]

Amazing...

Ah-ha, appreciate it! Bakura-kun might need some help I don't know about- But, my biggest issue is moving out stuff.

[He's not going to blatantly talk about the previous tenants there, in front of their left behind friend, so Yuugi just grins around a scrumptious bite of meat.]

I don't have enough yet to need a lot of "moving in"!

[-hey. If that salad turns out to not be enough, Yuugi's pushing his fry plate into the middle of the table...]

ugh i'm getting my ishtar palate fanon all over this thread -_- they had boring food growing up okay

[best_laid_plans]

[Malik doesn't seem to notice. Fried food is also not too high on his list of things he consumes regularly.

Still, if Yuugi's offering....]

Ah, true, sorry....Still, I'll be sticking around, so either of you just say the word!

[It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't train at least enough to be a challenge. Ah well. It's still really interesting to hear their plans!

Absently, he takes a fry. And sounds surprised.]

...these are good.

hey~ original scenario = necessary canon fill-ins!

[kingofgamecorner]

Hey, you don't have to wait for a word. [The grin of the happy but dropping his energy, to impress sincere.] You're welcome called on or not, anytime!

I mean, if you get tired of the 'center...

[-except. Malik just became Captain Obvious. Drawing a blink and a laugh.]

Of course, they're fries! But, you should know better- They're better with the ketchup!

[best_laid_plans]

[Malik doesn't answer, he just dips a fry in the ketchup and gives that a go.

Looking up, he glances towards the counter.]

I'll be right back.

[And just like that - he's gone, off to ask the employees a question.]

[kingofgamecorner]

...what could he be doing?

[What do you thing, Bakura-kun? Senzai? Oh- sorry, the Togepi's busy trying to get onto the table to investigate the food.

Yuugi will have to crane his neck around and wait for answers, huh.]

[best_laid_plans]

[Malik returns before long with a few more packets of something a brighter red than ketchup.

He drizzles it on his side of the fries and takes a bite, then nods, seemingly satisfied (and far more innocent-looking than he's been in ages).]

Thought so.

[For the intrepid, two words of warning: hot sauce.]

[kingofgamecorner]

[Hmmm? Would that be obvious from the discarded packets, because Yuugi will blink and give a close read, before breaking into a laugh.]

Ah, you found something more you already, huh? That's something- If you never tried them before.

[There's a question in there, quickly drowned in cheer, and grabbing his Togepi before he can crash land into their lunch- Someone took a dab-sample of the hot sauce.

It was not to his taste.]

[best_laid_plans]

[Malik merrily mixes some ketchup in with his hot sauce.]

Oh, I've had fries before! Just never noticed how good they could taste.

[He helps himself to some more.]

Must be the traveling....works up an appetite.

I'll have to work up stamina before I go anywhere for long.

[kingofgamecorner]

Aa... But you better pack a lot of food, too.

[Who knows how long it takes to get anywhere besides those great map makers?

But, not a problem, right? This grin's so pushing the "right?" of that thought.]

But you can build up both while you're here in the city!

And... I hope you plan to stick to sticking around for now, like you said.

[best_laid_plans]

Not to worry, Yuugi.

[He stresses the lack of honorifics slightly.]

I'm not going anywhere for quite some time.

Not when I've finally found my friends.

[He offers Senzai an (unladen) french fry.]

[kingofgamecorner]

...un.

[Sorry, he's taking a beat to wonder at Malik's own lack of use. Since his own is - honestly - out of an awkward uncertainty where to "place" Malik in relation to him, overall.

Malik, though. If Yuugi follows his words- it's not the same at all.

And that's a reason to smile, right there. (Not to mention making nice with his 'baby'.)]

But, let us know, if you want to in the future.

If you do, that's okay. But it would allow time to come up with all the ways we can stick together, even across Johto.

[best_laid_plans]

[Senzai needs to trust him! It'll make his ultimate fate so much simpler.....Though when Malik tries to imagine his ultimate fate, all he can think of is taking Senzai for rides on his currently nonexistent motorcycle. (What's up with that.)]

That sounds like a great idea! There's a ruin in particular - Bakura told me about it! [A happy nod to his other friend.]

I'd love to get a look at that.

[And then set a trap there. The perfect stage. But first and foremost - see all the things!

And, apparently, eat all the fries: he's snacking absently now.]

[kingofgamecorner]

-oh yeah! I didn't see much of it, but Bakura-kun pointed it out to me.

[Right, friend? It's okay to assume right? Okay, going with right.

And Malik's getting some agreement. If not on the thoughts.]

It looked pretty cool! I wonder what could be down there..

But, once I've trained up a little, the first place I want to go is the route just south of it. I'll have to fit the ruins in the trip!

[best_laid_plans]

Really? What's there?

[He finally remembers to finish his salad, but only picks at it before giving Yuugi his full attention. Tell me all your ideas, friend.]

[kingofgamecorner]

...sh'aw, well, I just saw some interesting Pokémon out there!

[And that sounds much better than "these really fluffy sheep". And he'll accept his retreating Senzai with a lap offer- to cover the reaction.]

And I need to get some others, right? I'm supposed to hatch most mine, apparently. But, chicken before the egg...

[best_laid_plans]

Literally.

[He catches himself for a split-second after that - did he just make a joke? - but this is going too well to worry about.]

Catching a few to start breeding does sound smart. I'll look forward to seeing whatever you bring back!

[kingofgamecorner]

[-snooooooooooooooort.

Er, that is.

Yuugi just snickered a laugh between shut lips and into his drink straw.]

...I'll do that. [Even if showing off sheep is hilarious in his head.

But, he'll rub his nose now, thanks.]

But, you must have a good team to be a trainer, too! I bet you have some good ones.

[best_laid_plans]

[Yes, laugh! He's so very clever, he amuses himself on a regular basis. (Even if his favorite jokes are usually those no one but Rishid understands.)

He looks a bit bashful at the mention of his team, however. Having already given away Mawile as his starter while anonymous, best not to mention her...That'd just be so awkward!]

Ah, I've just the two for now: Smoochum, and my starter.

I'd bring him out here, but the manager might not like that....Very fond of him, but he smells a bit.

oh, so amusing to still say two. xD

[kingofgamecorner]

Smells? [What could that be about?]

Well, what do you know- I have two, too! [Hee, that's funny.] But, I bet you can find more, even before you head off. There's two roads from here, right?

[Queue glance for confirmation, from Bakura to Malik.]

I bet there's some nice ones nearby to catch, too! And it can't be too dangerous, since you can turn right back if you need to train more.

[best_laid_plans]

[He shrugs. Poison-type. What can you do.]

Right, that sounds like a great way to proceed. There's a lot of them out right now, too.

Since - you know.

[He holds up Smoochum's PokéBall.]

I'll be sure to assemble a fantastic team. We can look together, if you'd like!

[kingofgamecorner]

Definitely!

-I don't plan to challenge anybody, but I still want my Pokémon to grow strong.

[Hear that, Senzai? No just getting carried about and babied all day. You need some sparring in your diet!]

[best_laid_plans]

Sounds like everybody's best interest, yeah.

I'd be happy to help you train, too, once your Pokémon are a little...older.

[Since, uh. Yeah.

He offers Senzai a cucumber off what's left of his salad.]

Let's make an agreement! We'll check out that route on the same day, and after training and capturing, test our skills!

How about it?

[kingofgamecorner]

-right...

[He's not sure how much reluctance is age or not... But Senzai's been amazing the last couple days! At this rate he'll be strong in no time!!

So he's feeling confident in answering-!]

You name a time, I'll be there!

[best_laid_plans]

I expect we'll be seeing a lot of each other. So once you're all settled in, it's a deal.

[He even offers Yuugi his hand to shake.]

Knowing you, I'm sure your Pokémon will perform incredibly.

[kingofgamecorner]

[Uh- don't take offense, Malik. Yuugi's just got a "what's with the official air?" face.

But he'll recover and take it without a qualm. Isn't happy influence a happy thing?]

Aa. We're going to set up lots of games at Bakura-kun's place, too! So don't feel afraid to come for just fun, too.
