In Which Xemnas Is A Delivery Boy
Who: Xemnas firstnothing, Xehanort capax_infiniti
What: Plotting. Deviousness. Arcanines.
Where: New Bark Town
Warnings: Nortwarnings apply. Scheming and malevolence may be within.
[It's been a bit of a run, to cross half of Johto just to make it to New Bark Town to drop off a very specifically caught growlithe. Xemnas had been delayed, not only by the effort of catching one with the proper temperament, but speaking with other individuals as he went. Not any growlithe would do; he needed one of very even and reliable bearing, which wasn't likely to run around like an excited puppy the whole time.
Old men needed reliability, not overexcited puppies.
Xemnas' arrival in New Bark Town goes without fanfare, just one more trainer accompanied by his pokemon; there was no pokecenter Malice could use to teleport here, Mom's house apparently didn't work well, but he does arrive in good time for having to travel as far as he did. A zebstrika wasn't anywhere near as swift as a rapidash, but with a little abuse of teleportation, a several weeks' long journey is significantly cut down.
The growlithe he'd selected remains in its pokeball. He'd trained it a little, just a few levels to try to provide Xehanort with a better defender when it evolved, but enough to get by with was more important. A defender, and a loyal one, was more important than raw power at this juncture.
Later on it could be simply traded in for another model.
Finding Xehanort however might be a bit more difficult. He'd left a message of course, and New Bark wasn't exactly a large town, but at least Xemnas himself is easily spotted. He has five pokemon, and not a single one is kept in its ball, fanned out to keep an eye on an old man that is similar to his own coloration. The only two kept at his side - the psionic kadabra Malice (who had strict orders to keep out of Xehanort's mind), and the selected growlithe. The black coat is distinctive, though he no longer can (or at least hasn't yet figured out) draw on the Darkness to make himself more noticeable to the right senses. Nor could Xehanort, so visual hunting would have to do. The Zebstrika, Gastly, Deerling and Zorua had plenty of ground to cover to try to find the person Xemnas sought.
Now, if he were an aging Keyblade Master, where would he be..?]
