Give A Little

[typeless]

[She's been here for months and has pretty much given up on anybody else from back home showing up.

Leaf's picked out an empty cottage a few miles away from the town. She much prefers to be away from crowds. But since she did end up miles away from most civilization, she's free to have her slightly ridiculous array of pokemon out.

One of which is a very loud Braviary, who's CAW CAWing about how awesome he is. And a Blastoise who is... napping, and somehow ignoring all the cawing.]

Calm down, it's only us out here. We've already heard how great you are. [Nope, still cawing about how awesome he is. Because everybody needs to hear it!]

Comments

[typeless]

... He looks like a normal human.

[redonmyhands]

Potion.

[Obviously did something he's not too proud off to get his hands on one.]

How about a late post?

[shadowsnagger]

[And there's a rock being pitched at said Braviary, the one who threw it fuming on the ground not far away like a cat whose tail had been pulled.]

Shut up, you stupid bird! It's too early in the morning for that noise!

Always acceptable

[typeless]

[Brohawk's flapping its wings to keep the rock away from it's body]

It's late afternoon.

... What are you doing this far out?

It's sad how slow this comm is.

[shadowsnagger]

It's morning somewhere.

[Huh? Oh, the girl's talking. Wes straightens up and shoves his hands in his pockets, doing his best to look as nonchalant as possible.]

Exploring. Nobody seems to know much about the land beyond here.

Something is always better than nothing

[typeless]

[The Braviary stares him down in distaste.]

They have a town. They don't have much reason to explore.

[she, on the other hand, considered the place stifling at best, and far too reminiscent of Saffron.]

[typeless]

... Where did you find one?

[shadowsnagger]

[Yeah, well, his bird's better anyway, so >:P]

How boring. Who knows what's out there. There could be Pokemon no one's ever seen before, or other towns, or a way off this floating rock...

[That town's too happy. He misses the desert.]

[typeless]

[Nope. He's the best. All the time. Always]

Nobody's stopping you.

[shadowsnagger]

Your noisy bird distracted me, that's all. [And woke him up from his nice, pleasant nap.]

[redonmyhands]

I found a Mismagius in the Dark Forest.

It's not like you can buy one at the supermarket.

[leadergreen]

[Green's expression shifts to something closer to anger; Eevee's ears perk, and she gets up and slips back to her trainer's side.] No, you didn't. Unless you never told me about it, but that doesn't make sense, you talk to me like every other day.

What the hell is going on, here?

[typeless]

I'm not your Leaf.

[At least she's calm about it] There are often doubles on this island.

[leadergreen]

Doubles. [Green's hand comes up to cover his mouth as he turns away slightly, starting to pace.] What, you mean there's more than one Leaf—of you? And you're someone else, another...version.

So you mean the Leaf I know, she might not be here.

[He turns, paces back towards you, and stops for a moment. His hand drops back to his side, and he looks at Leaf again.]

...Well, that's a relief, at least.

[Eevee trots over to sit next to Brohawk, but keeps an eye on her trainer.]

[typeless]

All of that is correct.

So far it doesn't seem to be very dangerous here. [Brohawk leans down to see the little critter better. Goodness, you are tiny.]

[typeless]

You can only buy the healing item there.

[typeless]

So shrug it off and keep exploring.

[redonmyhands]

You jest peasant.

[He finally shakes the pigs off, standing up to push the difference of height between the two.]

[leadergreen]

It's not danger that I'm worried about. Who's going to run the gym while I'm...here?

[He shakes his head.] I guess that's not your problem, though. Sorry. Here, let me try this again.

[He extends his hand for a handshake.] I'm Green. I run the Viridian City gym.

[Eevee chirps at you. You're about the same size as Pidgeot, actually! She nuzzles into his side and gives a happy little chirp.]

[typeless]

Time should be stalled back there while you're here.

[She'll shake the hand, but... it's pretty weird. Introducing yourself to a person who should be your best friend.]

Leaf. I'm a General.

[Brohawk looks down at Eevee for a little longer before bowing his head down and rubbing his beak against Eevee's side.]

[typeless]

Peasant? [She stands at at good 5'8". And she does not look impressed at his attempt to assert himself.]

[redonmyhands]

You don't have anything that shows off a higher class, so yes.

[So she's not short compared to most females Red has run into. He can still scare her off, he figures. Four more inches she doesn't have.]

[typeless]

What I am or am not has nothing to do with you.

[She doesn't scare off easy. She'll stand there defiant with Braviary at her side and Blastoise quietly staring at the group in anticipation.]

[redonmyhands]

You're right it doesn't.

[Spoink enters between the two, glaring at Red, then at the Blastoise cautiously.]

Red you're being rude.

[Tepig appears on Red's left, Swinub on his right.]

[typeless]

You are.

[Blastoise will lumber on up and sit herself on Leaf's other side.]
