Nanao stood by the entrance to Sprout tower, breath steaming in the crisp air. Violet City was certainly more... traditional than Newbark and Cherrygrove in some ways, and so Nanao didn't feel too out of place, dressed as she was in her kimono. She'd been wearing it more than her shihakushou, that was true, but that was mainly because the linen shihakusou was simply not warm enough in this cold climate, whereas the multiple layers of the kimono were more than adequate to deal with the cold.

Sentarou peeked out from between the flaps of her haori, cradled against her trainer's chest, the little tadpole preferring to stay where it was warm, and squeaked, just loudly enough to get Nanao's attention. From where they were, they could see all of Violet City, from the gym, all the way down past the Pokemon Centre and on to the Inn - and it was a captivating view.

"Yes, yes, I know." Nanao could even see the pond where Hitsugaya-taichou had been unceremoniously nearly drowned by his evolving Golduck - and therein lay the problem. For some reason, she could not gather up the courage to walk down the hill, and meet her fellow Shinigami; for what reason, she didn't know, but it was the reason that she had taken up residence in the spartan environ of Sprout Tower, and had avoided all forms of contact for the last two days.

Now, though, it was time to break that fear, and march down there. She took in a deep, steadying breath, and set off.

"Here goes nothing." "Polii!"

[Well, it's hard to get a snuggle from someone who doesn't know just quite how to snuggle. He'll just be watching her take that first tentative step, before he turns and looks out over the water for a moment before he has to look away.]

That hasn't changed, even through being here. Though she's been...quiet lately. [Which is far from a good thing...]

They're both pretty good for battles too, at least from what I've seen from my friends'.

Yeah, they do but I have one that I started with. I could always try this breeding thing I heard of and give you one.

[He...He would just need to figure out how to do it. He does have a Ditto but...how does this even work...]

... --er.

_{[Glancing at the Noctowl perched on the end of her bed.]}

... They're pretty big, but... no, I don't think they could carry somebody. A small child, maybe.

Neither can Butterfree, now that I think of it. It is evolved though.

... I see.

A pity then, that I am not smaller. {NANAO WHAT U SAY.}

Drat. I suppose, then, that I'll be going with another type of Flying type... although, doesn't Hoothoot and it's evolution have the ability to hit ghosts?

That would be handy...

What - really? Oh, that would be so kind of you! I am actually a 'breeder', technically, so I could give you some hints... If you wanted.

And I would be happy to trade.

Yeah, that'll be great. I'm not too big on how to breed.

You don't have to offer much. It's just good enough that you're teaching me how to breed.

[And if she could see him texting, he smiled at that last part. Oh, and this post might interest you for a Skarmory!]

... They do?

_{[YES THEY DO, but that's the first Heather's heard of it!]}

... {Nanao has no idea of how to reply to that, and so, she doesn't answer.}

Oh, likewise. I'm Ise Nanao. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

{TO NANAO, YES.}

{That's... a bit sad, but oh well. Maybe you could teach him? Nanao pauses by the edge of the bridge to listen to him speak}

It would take a lot to change Matsumoto from her ways. Quiet? In what way, taichou? {That is very much not a good thing.}

Yes, by use of the move 'Foresight'.

...you've had one all this time and you didn't know?

{OF COURSE, and that reaction face is hilarious.}

I could loan you my copy of the Guide to Pokemon Breeding, if you liked...

Ok, then, where are you? I can send it to you if you're not too far away...

{Awww, Nanao, y u such a teacher here? AJDHD COMMENTING~!}

Don't you need it though?

I'm in Violet City right now at the Inn. How about you?

No, luckily, I've memorised the contents.

Really? Which floor are you on?

[Been trying, pretty lady! Been trying.]

I've seen her around town, but she seems to have...withdrawn from using the network. [And it worries him slightly. She's rather talkative most days.]

{You'll get there! I know it!}

...hm. Maybe she doesn't like using the network? {Maybe something has happened to her...}

[Just...shaking his head,. No, it's not that.]

She's never shown dislike of it before. And I doubt her work ethic has changed at all over the time we've been in Violet.

...Please check my recent journaaaaaals! Thanks for tagging with me though. ono

I see. That is a little odd.

...have any other Shinigami been here?

[A moments pause. This is...a touchy subject.] Ichimaru was here for a time, but has since disappeared. I've never found any others in my time here.

{Nanao was Shocked! Nanao is Paralysed!}

Ichimaru... taichou? I - what? Sorry, Captain, but... Really? I - I had no idea....

[A nod. That's about as much as he knows, too.]

We spoke once, but after that I don't know where he went before his signal went dead.

{She bows her head}

Oh... I see. So, Matsumoto, you, and I are now the only Soul Reapers in all of Johto, correct?

[Another nod, and he'll just be...leaning on the bridge railing. He's got all day, Nanao.]

For the moment, yes. I'm not about to say it will always be like this.

{Nanao will just be poking the bridge railing with her geta, the metal-shod wood 'clacking' softly. She hadn't known that there was only the three of them.}

No - after all, one of us could...

I hate to say it, but one of us could disappear.

[Space, time and a shake of his head. ~~Oh, Nanao, if only you could see the future. (http://freezetheskies.livejournal.com/2393.html)]~~

People who disappear from this world seem to return home. I can't be sure, but...it might be better that way. If we all returned home.
