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.]

[beforethedarkness]

I wasn't looking to battle again.

[Another sigh from him before he shakes his head.]

... They're supposed to be fun, aren't they.

[seasaltkeys]

Well, yeah, they are.

But it's one thing to choose not to battle because you'd rather focus on breeding or something like that. It's another thing to not battle because you're afraid of getting hurt.

[beforethedarkness]

I'm not afraid of getting hurt.

[He just doesn't want them to get hurt. Not that he'll say that.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah you are. You're afraid of hurting your pokemon. Or screwing up again.

[beforethedarkness]

[He's tense, because he's not sure of how to respond to that. Or even if he should try to refute it.]

...

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas just sighs]

It's cool if you want to get into breeding and all that, but I was hoping to consider you a rival.

[beforethedarkness]

[Just give him a few more moments Roxas, he's trying to think of how to word things.]

... I didn't want to get attached. But, now that I have, I can't risk losing them.

[seasaltkeys]

Don't you think that your pokemon feel the same way? They're smart creatures and they worry about you just as much.

At least, Sparky, my pikachu, did. He worried about me a lot.

[beforethedarkness]

I'm not the one who's on the line when they battle, though.

[seasaltkeys]

No, you're not. But you're the one that can help them win, and not get hurt. You just have to train with your pokemon.

It's about working together, being a team.

Man now I really want Sas to recall bits and pieces of this conversation. I wonder if it's too late.

[beforethedarkness]

... I don't want them to risk themselves for me.

[At that point Hiruzen just sighs, having had enough of keeping out of the conversation. Not that he can actively participate with words, but hopefully he can get his message across without them.

With a balled fist, he raps Sasuke lightly on the head, drawing a surprised noise from him when he turns to look up at the taller pokémon in surprise.]

I don't think so. I say go for it.

[seasaltkeys]

See, even Hiruzen thinks that's dumb. Pokemon want to fight for their trainer.

Woo!

[beforethedarkness]

...

I didn't think they'd still want to battle with me after I'd failed them so badly. [He mumbles, closing his eyes as he hears the bird pokémon behind him make another displeased noise.]

They were lucky last time. It might not be that way the next.

[seasaltkeys]

Well, obviously they do. Are you planning on losing again?

[beforethedarkness]

No. Not if I can help it.

[seasaltkeys]

Good. Then just work with your pokemon so that it doesn't happen again.

It's not that difficult.

[beforethedarkness]

You're wrong. It is difficult.

[He sighs again, leaning back a little as he closes his eyes.]

But that won't stop me from trying.

[seasaltkeys]

I think it gets easier.

And that's good. It shouldn't.

I'll battle you the next time I'm in town.

[beforethedarkness]

Good. I'll be looking for you, Roxas.

You'll see just how strong I can get, then.

[And finally there's a hint of a smirk on his lips again.]

[seasaltkeys]

I'll look forward to it.

[And there's a grin. He's excited and hopefully next time he'll have his full team with him.]
