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 Cherrygrove, then.}
[Video]
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?]
[Video]
{Hey, she has a reputation to uphold here.}
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
I know what I'm doing this time. That's always helpful.
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
....speaking of which, what happened to that Scyther.
{SUDDENLY A FUTURE PLOT IDEA. A horrible, horrible, plot idea.}
[Video]
[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?]
[Video]
{DON'T TEMPT FATE...}
Let's hope so. Otherwise we could have a problem on our hands.
{He really should.}
[Video]
Exactly how big of a problem, Ise?
[He may be. Soon. Especially if an Arcanine can't handle that bug.]
[Video]
A homicidal Scyther-sized problem. It tried to disembowel me, and it very nearly succeeded.
{She still has the scars from it...}
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
Unless they were the natives. {Darker and edgier is a go!} We will indeed - let's just hope it's vanished...
{At least she'll be able to see it this time.}
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
No need to tell me that twice - do you still have the sword I made you?
{It'd be better if she had Kiyone or Shinrai... But at least one Psychic is better than none.}
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
I'll see if I can make myself another, and then perhaps we could spar. It's always good to keep one's skills up.
{Beating up a tree with a sword sounds boring, though. Happily, Nanao now also has Jyuu back! Hooray for over-leveled Skarmories!}
[Video]
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?]
[Video]
What, all of my wrestling of Rattatas doesn't count as combat training?
{She teases~}
[Video]
Not against larger opponents.
[She teases, he meets it with logic. Did you really miss this, Nanao?]
[Video]
Well, drat.
{She kinda did, actually.}
[Video]
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.]
[Video]
Like you?
{ ;w; }
[Video]
...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?]
[Video]
Ah, but you are more highly trained in the art of the sword than Envy.
{She didn't mean to tease - for once.}
{...whoops indeed.}
