Log:


A. July 11th - late afternoon

[It was a long way back to Goldenrod, but eventually they made it before it got too dark. First stop? Honeyed Soul. Rin had a few ideas he wanted to try and start creating before he met up with Roxas. Maybe, if he was lucky, there would be a few coworkers still awake and ready to take on a potential new menu item?

Or Yukio could just sit pretty and taste test everything. If he felt his stomach was up to it.]


B. July 12th - sometime in the morning

[Rin's out and about and ready to meet up with someone in PERSON. It was exciting - and it had a way of making friendships feel a little more real. Just like when he met Al in person for the first time. That had been really cool. Rin taps out a quick message to Roxas, something like:

where r u?
ur not sleeping r u?

...Hopefully Roxas isn't away in dreamland...]


C. Anything goes!

[Roxas is impressed. Rin really loves Pokémon. It makes him feel bad that's not bee able to get along with Braig, but what else can he do?]

But you shouldn't have to. If I was a better trainer, I wouldn't have this problem. [Yeah... he's blaming himself for this as they step on the elevator to go down.]

[pinnedbangs]

[...he does. he loves his pokemon a lot and he really misses the ones he's had to leave behind.

Rin pats Roxas on the back - but he misjudges his strength and hits him a little too hard.] C'mon, are you kidding me? You sing with your pokemon and let 'em fly whenever they want! You're already a great trainer and you're still doing your best for all of 'em.

I told you I had the same problem with Poochy. She'd bite me any chance she got! And she hated any pokemon I'd catch. It took us forever to understand each other.

[seasaltkey]

[Roxas stumbles forward, his hand going up to his hair to make sure Mickey doesn't get knocked down. Well then, that could have gone worse.] You think so?

[He keeps being called a good trainer.... but he doesn't feel like a good trainer.]

Maybe... I do have an Espurr egg. My friend Naminé's can translate for her Pokémon. You think that would work once it hatches? [At the mention of Espurr, Sky ruffles her feathers and lets out a small, terrified squeak. No cats for her!] I mean, we'll try your approach today... but that'd be good for the future!

[pinnedbangs]

[Mickey let's out a shrill squeak. Thank you Roxas! His trainer means well BUT PLEASE SAVE HIM FROM FALLING...] Yup! Everything you said proves that you love your pokemon. That's the best thing a trainer can do.

[Rin shrugs.] I dunno, I've never had a psychic type. If it works for your friend, then give it a shot!

[seasaltkey]

I talked with my friend Serah... are there really people called Team Rocket who steal Pokémon? [It' sounds horrible.]

I have a Gothita. She's a psychic type, but I don't know if it's the same. I'll have to check it out.

[pinnedbangs]

Yeah, they're just as bad as that and I've heard they do worse. [He doesn't have details.]

Hey, go for it. Got nuthin' to lose, right?

[seasaltkey]

Well, she said that her sister who wasn't her sister set up something called the Pokémon Guardian Corps. So why is there still a Team Rocket? [This doesn't really make sense. Was Team Rocket just that powerful?]

R-Right! [He steps out of the elevator and proceeds to lead them to the Pokémon center.]

[pinnedbangs]

[He's not even going to try to solve that sister puzzle.] Well, from what I remember they're like a global thing? They stick to the shadows but they're still around. No one can find their headquarters.

[He follows him into the Center. It was one step closer to solving the mystery of the angry pokemon. Oh. He had to make sure to grab Poochy and the others.]

[seasaltkey]

[Sounds rough. He'd want to do something if he could.] Even after years? They must be really good at hiding. How would you know if you knew a Rocket?

[Once in there, he makes sure to switch out the only Pokémon in a pokéball. Then comes the hesitation of taking Braig out.] Okay. Where should we go to let him out?
