Summary: A MASS MINGLING POST
Rating: What are ratings
Log:


[Anywhere in Johto and Kanto, there are people interacting. Some of these strangers interacting with other strangers. Some of these folks are your old friends. The insanity has happened yet again, and boy will it be insane.

In short, this is The Ultimate Mingling post version 2, where everyone can run into each other again and again. Damage will only sometimes be repaired, but it doesn't matter--have fun with it! It's primarily for those in the fourth wall who run into another oddball from some other mythical land who's going "What's this place?" just like them, but for everyone who wants to just continue going nuts. Seriously guys, why did you guys let Sunny even bother writing a description. JUST DO FUN THINGS.

But try not to blow up the world, okay?

And as usual, any format is welcome.]

...

[He glances down to the Bouffalant, then up at Roxas again as he pockets his hands.]

Would you have competed in the tournament if you were here?

[seasaltkeys]

I did. I lost...in the second round of the Elite cup.

There were a lot of tough trainers.

[He hadn't really had his head in the game, with the loss of Namine, and Xion, and Minnie hanging over him.]

[beforethedarkness]

...

I didn't win in my bracket, either.

[seasaltkeys]

Sorry.

There'll be other tournaments though, right?

Do you have any badges yet?

[beforethedarkness]

... No. I don't.

[And he's not entirely sure about going after them after the tournament, either.]

[seasaltkeys]

[He's starting to get a sense of that.]

Why not? You seem like the type who could go for something like that. They're a lot of fun to collect.

[beforethedarkness]

...

I prefer fighting my own battles.

[seasaltkeys]

And fighting for the badges wouldn't be?

[beforethedarkness]

No.

That's the pokémon fighting for me.

[seasaltkeys]

It's kind of hard to find someplace here that doesn't have pokemon doing most of the work.

But it's not just their battle. You're the one who's supposed to come up with strategies and ways to win. You have to work with your pokemon as a team.

Pokemon battles are actually really fun when you work together with your pokemon like that.

[beforethedarkness]

...

[He's silent at that, looking away from Roxas as the words pour over in his head. Apparently he doesn't have the same sentiment towards them.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas doesn't mind. It's a lot to think about.]

Do you have a favorite pokemon?

[beforethedarkness]

[Why are you and Sora asking him all these questions that derail him? Note the stunned look.]

No.

[seasaltkeys]

[Because Roxas is part Sora.]

Not even one you think is really cool?

[beforethedarkness]

...

I guess Hiruzen's pretty good.

[seasaltkeys]

That's your Torchic, right?

[beforethedarkness]

Not anymore.

[With an easy toss of Hiruzen's pokéball, a tall and strong-looking Blaziken appears in a burst of light. Someone's been training.]

[seasaltkeys]

Oh wow! He evolved! That's awesome.

[beforethedarkness]

Yeah. He did.

[Hiruzen looks proud of himself and he thumps his chest to show it, although Sasuke doesn't seem nearly as proud as the Blaziken. Or even that happy about it.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas picks up on that.]

Did you not want him to evolve or something? Because there are ways to do that.

[beforethedarkness]

No. I wanted him to evolve.

[seasaltkeys]

But it just wasn't what you expected, right?

[beforethedarkness]

Hiruzen evolving is a good thing. It means he's stronger.

[seasaltkeys]

But that seems to bother you, Sasuke.

[beforethedarkness]

No. That doesn't bother me.

[A beat, and he continues.] Evolving doesn't mean they're strong enough to fend for themselves.

[That seems to get Hiruzen's attention and he gives Sasuke a worried look. He should probably feel more insulted than anything, but...]
