2nd book; do the baby elephant walk {Video/Action for Route 46}

{So this time around, Nanao wanted to actually explore Johto, instead of making straight for the cities and towns. So it is for that reason that she's headed up onto Route 46 - that, and she heard a rumour about elephant-like Pokemon.}

Well, the PokeDex did say they were quite rare...

{She's sitting on the ground, bag beside her, eating an incredibly juicy blue berry which is slowly staining her mouth blue with every bite and leafing through the hand book, occasionally adding notes to it. Early morning colours still streak the sky - it can't be much after seven am.}

{It also appears that Cassandra has accidentally activated the 'Gear again.}


Then, it also did say that we'd have the best chance of finding one in the morning. {Cassandra chirps merrily, and Nanao laughs a little.} Well, with your Ability, there's no chance of me sleeping through the morning, is there?

{The little bird preens vainly, and there seems to be some sort of blue shadow sneaking up behind them stealthily.}

We might have to look all day. The odds aren't terribly good that we'd find one right away, and knowing my luck... {She laughs, and a trunk slowly sneaks forwards, aiming to grab that delicious half-eaten berry... Closer... Closer..! The Natu stops preening, and instead stares at it.}

Cassandra? What is it? {There's a long and slender trunk poised above Nanao's shoulder, just ready to strike - and she slowly turns her head to look.}

{The ensuing shriek sends flocks of Spearow, Hoothoot, and Pidgey into the air, and was probably audible from Olivine. Naturally, the feed is also knocked off.}


{When the feed clicks back on, there's a tiny little blue and red elephant calf cuddling up to Nanao, eating berries right out of her hand. Nanao is smiling like all her Christmases have come at once.}

I suppose all's well that ends well, little Hannibal.

{She (yes, she) stops eating long enough to let out the squeakiest trumpet, and then resumes eating. And that's where the feed clicks off for the second, and final time.}

[Good thing she wasn't in any city, really. She'd have been swarmed by spooked or concerned folk.]

And yet you still asked if I was the only one worried.

[Need he remind her how many people were distraught at her disappearance? Really?]

[Ooooh, now she's getting a look. A worry-wart, huh? She's...not that much different, is she?]

Given your track record, and what happened in that area the last time you were here, is it so surprising?

[Pah, reputations aren't all they're cracked up to be. Not around here, anyway.]

[At that, he just shakes his head. She's right, of course, but...]

Until your luck gives out and you're ambushed by Sentrets or a Scyther again.

[Because knowing what one is doing is...fairly useless when taken by surprise by a bug that wants to separate your limbs for your body, sadly.]

Then you shouldn't waste any time. We still don't know when the weather's going to change and dump more snow on us like last year.

[Which annoys him to no end, really. Also, this is a shrug. He...wasn't even aware she'd caught the thing, really.]

I haven't heard anything about a rampaging Scyther attacking any trainers since you left, so I'd assume it went wild and has stayed away from people.

[...He really should be worried, shouldn't he?]

[Just...getting a look. Nanao, you really, really, shouldn't be saying things like that, you know. Not with Johto seemingly determined to screw you over. ...Not that he's going to say that. Nope. Never.]

Exactly how big of a problem, Ise?

[He may be. Soon. Especially if an Arcanine can't handle that bug.]
freezetheskies: (something's not right)

[personal profile] freezetheskies 2012-04-02 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[srs time is go. Especially since...well, he's never seen a Scyther before but he's assuming it's not tiny if it nearly succeeded in gutting her, so...big problem is going to be big. Great.]

If it had tried to do that to other people, someone would have heard by now. [Or, so he hopes. siiiigh.] We'll just have to keep an eye out for it.

[And those scars are liable to take a very long time to fade...especially if the thing comes back for round two.]

[And since she's a good foot taller than him...oh goodness. He'd best not run into it.]

It would still be a good idea to keep your guard up. No sense in risking a second attack if it can be avoided.

[And keeping Cassandra around may also help...if she can sense the thing before it comes knocking.]

[Hopefully his luck holds, but...since it's equally likely to not hold up...ahahaha this might get ugly. Whoops.]

Hmm. Among my things at the Inn, though it hasn't seen much use other than practice.

[Keeping active and all that. And Cassandra being their last line of defense is better than having none at all. And they have all the others...Hina could probably roast the bug, so they should be okay. Hopefully.]

[Indeed. Their luck might just hold, too. Might. Maybe. They'll be careful, surely.]

It couldn't hurt. I suppose we're both out of practice for actual combat after all this time.

[Oh, beating up trees is boring. And rather useless when it comes to being prepared. Sure, it's just sparring, but still. Can't hurt, right?]
freezetheskies: (do you have a point?)

[personal profile] freezetheskies 2012-04-17 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Then they should be fine! Being careful keeps them alive! ...Most of the time.]

Not against larger opponents.

[She teases, he meets it with logic. Did you really miss this, Nanao?]

[If they get lucky. Oh, these two...]

You'll just have to practice with something more your size if you want to stand more of a chance.

[Oh, good. Because he's not changing anytime soon.]

[They should. really, they should. Might improve ratings.

...And of course she trapped him in more teasing. Smart woman.]


Someone closer to your own height would be better, Ise.

[Well. Not unless you count a month as anytime soon, anyway. Whoops?]
