[ The sandwiches are gone without much time to see daylight - alas, what a sad, sad tale. There's no thanks, just the sounds of eating such food whole and then a grunt when Snorlax extends a paw-y hand out for more. Give him.

Pikachu, when he sees the familiar face come out, squeaks in surprise and gives the other guy a hello. Hey, long time no see! (waaave)

Venusaur gives out a greeting to the new faces politely, and Red - he peeks a look to the new company, eyeing in particular the poliwrath. He knows the pokémon, doesn't have one himself but seen it around, and it's been a while in general since he's gotten to see one in the flesh and so up close.

It...it's not like he cares or he's curious or interested, baka! Look, look at the way he looks back to his book!! (and then back at Poli again) ]

[Y'know, it might be better to just take a couple sandwiches out and hand the Snorlax the whole basket. Even that probably won't help, but it's still more than a couple sandwiches.

Pika, however, looks away, but does a wave back anyway. Sup dude. It's been a while. Even with his nonchalant look, Pika is pretty excited to see him, all things considered.

But Red and Poli both notice the eyes on him, before Red laughs lightly.]

He was my starter, y'know. It's kinda weird, since most of the time you hear about people startin' with Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander, right?

[He pats Poli on the head.]

But this guy's been with me since I was real little.

[ It's a start, Red. It's a start.

Pikachu doesn't mind the cool guy look, though he tilt his does head some at it - but hey, whatevs. Been up to anything??? ]

I don't hear about it in my world. [ Sure, it was the three choices he had, but it wasn't common (as far as he knew). Red shrugs lightly. ] People start with whoever they get.

[ Or so he assumes. He looks again at Poli, a little more curious. ]

... but how did you two meet?

[Just y'know. Training. Getting better.]

Guess that's pretty common too, yeah. [But his friends usually started with a starter, so he has no idea.]

Dunno! He just kinda wandered over once when I was little. We've been pretty attached ever since.

[ That's because they got to be all buddy or whatever with professors!! ]

Yeah? [ Huh. Did a pokémon ever wander over to him when he was younger? .... that's so forever ago, and they obviously didn't stick with him. ]

...He must've thought you'd make good friends. [ He adds that, not wanting to just leave it with 'yeah'. Sounds nice, really... ]

Guess so! Can't really say I mind. He saved my life a couple'a times at this point, so I wouldn't even be here without him!

[He really does owe him a lot.]

What, like really save it?

Yep! I almost drowned once, when I was little. He was the one who pulled me out and saved me.

Wow-- that's amazing. [ He smiles a little more, looking over to Poli briefly. ] You were lucky he stuck around.

[It's been a few days since the younger Red was released from the clinic, and Saori has finished fretting over him too...which has left the goddess with time to actually think. The events that'd led her to drag him out of those mountains had played through her mind a few times...and a particular face had stuck out to her.

Another boy, who'd looked spectacularly like Red. With similar Pokemon, too.

Ever one to investigate peculiarities like that, Saori kept a lookout for the older boy, and today's the day she just happens to see him. Out...somewhere. So, she walks over and waves.]

Red?

[Because she's not sure...]

Huh?

[While it wasn't a voice he somewhat recognized, he quickly noticed who she is based on appearance alone. So he smiles a bit, before waving back.]

You've got it! You were one of the people helpin' us on the mountain, right?

[Not that she was hard to miss while she was flinging boulders around, at least.]

[So her guess was right. He was Red. From a different world maybe? Certainly a different time. And he sounded more like Ash. She stifles a laugh and approaches.]

I was, yes. My name is Saori, the Daughter of Wind and Rain.

It's nice to see you again. I...confess it is a little bit odd, knowing that there are two of you, now.

I really was! He's actually saved me twice like that. I was thrown off the S.S. Anne and he jumped in and saved me.

Both times he evolved while doin' it too. Poli's really impressive. Not that all of my pokémon aren't impressive in their own ways, but y'know.

Two of...

[Oh, right. He does laugh a little bit at that. Yeah, that's pretty true.]

You're talkin' about the younger Red? Yeah, I was really surprised when I came back and he was here, too. We're pretty different though, even if we have the same name and stuff.

But still, s'pretty neat.

I am, yes. You're really really alike, as far as looks go. It's like he could've grown up to look just like you.

[She rolls her shoulders in a faint shrug.]

But that's beside the point. I should have introduced myself sooner, but circumstances being what they were at the time...I didn't even think about it. My name is Saori, the Daughter of Wind and Rain. It's nice to meet you properly, Red.

I get it. [ He so, so does. But you know, Red's noticed the obvious about these stories... ]

But... you have terrible luck around water, huh?

Hey, that's fine. It's nice to meet you too!

[But that does make him laugh, thinking about it.]

But maybe! That'd be pretty cool to see. Though, that'd definitely make stuff more confusing around here.

I'm startin' to think the same thing. But that's what I've got this guy for!

[And he'll pat Poli on the head again.]

Why were you on the S.S.Anne anyway? Isn't it a cruise ship in your world?

Well uh... kinda? They were moving a lot of cargo when I saw it.

Problem being, they were Team Rocket. They didn't really take too kindly to me interfering.

Edited 2014-10-03 22:55 (UTC)

Oh.

[ Oh. He looks back to his own pokémon, then breaks part of the sandwich he'd saved for himself (once closing up the book on his lap). ]

I heard they're a problem in your world too. Ash's too. [ a beat ] Silver's keen about dealing with them.

Yeah. Not so much anymore, but they were pretty annoying when they were initially around.

[He's not surprised about Silver wanting to deal with them though. He won't really talk much on that front, since that's more for Silver to spill, but he does not.]

Yeah, he's had to deal with 'em too.

[ So they were gone now for him? Did Silver say whether they were still around or not? ... it's been a while, really. ]

I hear they're still around in Ash's world. [ A half-shrug. ] Don't know about mine. I'm from the past.

[ Sure he could say more, but there isn't anything he thinks he want to. Telling him about Giovanni might be wise, uuut...

whatever. Silver could do that (if he hadn't already). ]

Well I mean, it's not the past for you, right? So what's it like now?

[Not like he needed to know about the future of someone else's world, anyway!]

My now?

[ Red did say about that just now, but -- making sure. ]
