Where do we go from here?
Who: Twilight Sparkle (friendyousohard), Applejack (buckyouup), Fluttershy (3_butterflies) and Rainbow Dash (bestofthebest)
Where: Goldenrod City Pokemon Center
When: Late on Saturday.
Summary: AJ's taken down Whitney, and now she and Twilight are getting restless. Where should they head now?
Rating: G
Log:
Twilight was getting restless.
She didn't dislike Goldenrod City at all, but she'd spent so much of her time in it and Violet that she was running out of things to do aside from wander the streets or spend her time shopping. Not to mention, the wild Pokemon around the city, while decent challenges for her newbies, were so far below her core team that they barely offered any experience for them at all.
There were no two ways about it. She wanted to get out. She wanted to head somewhere else, somewhere she hadn't seen before.
And she knew just the place she wanted to go. Sitting at the table in the lobby of the Pokecenter, she stared at the map of Johto on her gear.
She hoped the other girls would be okay with her idea. That, or maybe one of them would have a plan of their own.

So we really can all go... That's good. I know I'm not very good at battling and training... but I'll do my best... and I'll do anything you say! You can count on me.
no subject
Then it's settled. We make our way to Olivine City, an' start training harder. When Team Rocket decides they're gonna strike again, we'll be ready for 'em. Fluttershy... [She turns to face her, resting a hand on her shoulder.] You know I'll go easy on you, but I reckon you should start training, too. I want you t'be able to defend yourself, should somethin' happen.
[Should something happen to her. Or Twilight. Being in the Guardian Corps is a dangerous, and even though she isn't a part of it yet, Applejack is already willing to throw herself into danger at a moment's notice. She can't let anything bad happen to Fluttershy. She won't]
But... what would you gals think of gettin' on the train an' heading to Saffron an' Celadon for a couple weeks, first? I think if we had two trainers in the group who could use Fly, it'd make things a lot easier on travel, an' with the Violet City gym closed down, the only way t'learn it is in Kanto.
[It also has nothing to do with the fact that she's totally interested in the magnet train. Not at all.]
no subject
[She doesn't bother putting in her two cents about Fluttershy. Sure, she had once told Twilight that she wanted to train harder, herself, but as far as Twilight knew she hasn't put all that much emphasis on it since their first outing... probably because she's still afraid of getting them hurt. So AJ's right, but Twi doesn't know if it matters.]
The only problem is, do we have the money for Magnet Train tickets for the four of us? They aren't exactly cheap.
no subject
Duck?
(She groaned irritably while considering their choices; Ecruteak to Olivine, or to Saffron and Celadon via the Magnet Train? Sure it seemed like a really awesome ride, but if it really cost a lot for one ticket...?)
We could always get jobs for a couple weeks while saving to pay for tickets! I'd get in a lot of training on days off, and even weekends and nights.
(A beat.)
Think they'll accept 'Weather Pony' as a previous occupation?
no subject
Well... normally whenever we stay somewhere, I work at the Pokemon Center, that pays pretty well... And I can try having Ditto breed with more Pokemon to sell more eggs... Would that help?
[She fidgets a little, worried all over again. Murkrow, not liking the ponies getting in on her shoulder space, hops onto Fluttershy's head and proceeds to make a nest out of her hair. Not that she minds, of course.]
no subject
I get most a' my money from trainer battles, but I reckon I could get a job, too.
no subject
Well, let's see... how much money do we have right now? I've got around fifteen thousand left from fighting trainers and what I've saved from my gym battles, plus a few weeks of work at the library in Violet. That leaves five thousand for my ticket.
no subject
...I get my money from Trainer battles, so I'd say out of what I've saved should be around 3 or 4,000. Maybe more but I don't really keep track.
(And there's her momentary pain receptors catching up to her.)
Ow...!
no subject
Rainbow Dash!
[She tries to hug and hold Rainbow, clearly worried, moving RD's bangs to try and see the bruise.]
Please be careful!
no subject
I've got about six thousand in my wallet now. Pair that up with th' twelve I just got from beatin' Whitney, an' I'm just about ready.
no subject
[Twilight does a quick bit of addition in her head.]
Alright, that puts AJ and I pretty close, if we go and do a bit of work combined with trainer duels, we should be ready by Friday. Shy, the Pokemon centers pay pretty well, don't they? How are you doing for money?
no subject
(Rainbow feels a little embarrassed, but she smiles reassuringly at Fluttershy.)
I'm alright, Flutters. It doesn't hurt that much!
(And yet, she does have a slight bruise beneath her bangs. Not noticeable unless they're parted much like Fluttershy's done now.)
no subject
The Center does pay good... U think I'm all set with money, even though I did miss out on some while I was sick... I think I'm okay... Friday sounds fine...
