When you've run into a wall with no place to go

Does anybody have tips on handling a violent electric sheep?

[ He did say he was going to keep it, but there is probably no way he can tame that thing on his own (if at all). He was finally released from the hospital after eleven, long days--an effort to make sure he stays out would be prudent, would it not be?

After all, he enjoys the sun. He's still got bandaids and some gauze, as well as scars, from his accident (attempted slaughter?) last time, but he's outside and under the sun, and it feels great. Armed with book and all the available games on his Pokégear (he needed something to entertain himself with), he's going to sit outside all day and let his Pokémon have their exercise. :|b ]

... After this last week, I don't want to see another ceiling tile in my life.

[ Private to Ken Amada ]
Has Sirius gotten to you safely?

[ Today's is a rare intentional post! Though he doesn't talk immediately. He frowns at the camera for a few seconds, then sighs. ]

Challenging the Goldenrod gym was a bit of a nightmare when it happened. The gym leader in Violet was less...unique... and I guess I'm glad he didn't to put me in a dress, but I take back my words from when I said to someone that a gym leader qualifies if they do their job right.

[ He reaches for something placed next to the gear, and--voila! Guess who won the Zephyr badge just a short while ago? He looks at it, then looks even more disgruntled. Forced into a dress, fake bottomless pits, self-confidence issues and the threat of being Earthquake'd.

And then there had been Falkner.

... Siiiigh. ]

It would be hypocritical of me to say that all he talked about was his father, I suppose.

[ beat. ]

On a different note, in less than a month I'd have been in this world for a year. I've been to a lot of cities, but the only school I've seen teaches only on topics related to Pokémon. How do the people here learn anything else?

[ ooc: the Zephyr Badge is mod-approved! and as it is 2a.m. before school, replies will come tomorrow, uh, afternoon. ]

( Cut for some action. )

[ July 14. 1:13 P.M. ]

[ The audio message reaches the network in the early afternoon, a short, quiet transmission from that bench by the sea. ]

I think there was a number of people she spoke to while she stayed here, so this is a message to anybody who knew her: Franziska von Karma has returned to her world.

[ He doesn't like it. He's scared for her. He's going to miss her and he already misses her. She was family. They were closer here than he was with the younger Franziska back home. It was like losing Gregory all over again. Somehow it hurt more than anybody else whose disappearance he learned of.

He'd been out here for hours now, but he feels no motivation to get up and return to the hotel as of yet. Anybody who comes looking for him, or passes by, will find a grey-haired boy sitting against the railing, his back to the sea, with Pess, Pip, and another, bigger Growlithe--Sirius, the second Pokémon Miles met during his whole time in Johto, and Pip's father--all sitting around him. ]

Plus plusle! [ The cheerful cry of Miles' Plusle that rings out on the network today is accompanied by an equally cheerful and grinning Remus waving something small, purplish, and shiny in front of the camera. Any Pokémon watching the feed would be able to understand his cries of excitement to be "Look! Look guys we did it!"

[ It becomes obvious what exactly Remus was so delighted about in just a few moments, as when he finally calms down a little and stops waving his arms crazily it's now possible to identify that purple blob he was holding to be...

a Fog Badge!

And does Remus look proud, though standing a little behind him is Miles' unnamed Eevee - unnamed still because she absolutely loves giving him a hard time and is picky about her own name, and doesn't like any that Miles suggests to her - who looks unimpressed. ]

Vee... [ She's so unimpressed - "What are you acting so proud about? It's not like you even-- " But Remus isn't listening as he goes on and on. ]

Plusle! Plus! [ "And then we fell down into that bottomless pit thing on the way back, and now we're going to go to the onsen and the ladies at the inn helped us put these on--!!"

These by which he means the yukata he has donned. A short distance behind him and the Eevee, a small group of Miles, Ken, and Romulus the Minun are watching the hyper Plusle bounce around. Miles is looking pretty calm, but he also looks better than his last video post... a little more self-assured, or a little proud. He and his Pokémon did win that badge after all. ]

 

Let's go, Remus. Make sure you turn off the camera.

Pluuuus! [ Remus needs no second reminder to get to the baths. In his excitement though he forgets the second part of Miles' commands, and he leaves the camera recording when he scampers after his trainer and his trainer's best friend.

Way to go, Remus. Jason the Cubone slips on-screen just for a moment when he, being more responsible than the Plusle, reaches up to turn off the Gear, but not before-- ]

Plugh!

[ Remus is shown tripping on the hem of his yukata in his haste and he goes falling flat on his face.

And the feed finally cuts. ]

In other news, today there is a graduation I must attend. Tags will be replied to when LJ stops being a jerk and I get back from that. ;; ]]
