Want something threaded out? Let me know here!

Just gimme the thread type and date and we'll figure something out!

Comments

[bravefighter]

Oh.

{Yeah, from what he can see... that language does look pretty interesting. And by interesting he means he has no idea what any of it means.]

Well, m'sure you'll get it! You've just gotta keep at it.

[pokeboy]

[ LATIN, RED. DO YOU SPEAK IT? ]

Mmm. [ Just. Humming to that. He shifts to crane the book in his arms, holding it in his hands from the top. Sorry he's not going to make this easy for you, Red. Especially not after a comment like that either. He's got a book to read (and by read, we mean look down and absorb nothing about it). ]

[bravefighter]

[NOT EVEN A LITTLE

But that's fine! He doesn't mind. He's figured out what he was curious about, anyway, so instead of talking more he'll just go ahead and go for one of those sandwiches to munch on. Probably grab one for Saur too.]

[pokeboy]

[ OKAY COOL, YOU DO THAT. Pikachu's looked back a few times at the two humans, but Snorlax has stopped him from doing that because yo, let 'em do what they want, we're training here.

Red isn't without his questions either for the other guy, but while he might consider making conversation, he's pretty sure he doesn't want to. Too weird. But should he let some stupid thing between Gold and him stop him from talking to this guy as might've without that happening?




Eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhh... ]





...Do you hang out with the other trainers? [ ASKED A THOUSAND YEARS LATER. ]

[bravefighter]

[He doesn't mind the wait at least! He just smiles as soon as he hears Red start talking again.]

I do, yeah! I mean, I live in a house with 'em, so I've gotta hang out with 'em! Plus, they're my friends, so.

[pokeboy]

Ash and Cilan too...?

[bravefighter]

Haven't actually run into 'em yet! But I'm sure I'd be friends with them and hang out with them once I do.

[pokeboy]

[ WOW BUT CILAN'S IN THE KITCHEN ALL THE TIME. ]

Well, they're close friends with each other... they're from the same world. They travelled together too. [ flipping... page... ] Cilan was a gym leader from Unova, and Ash is from Pallet Town too. [ um ] Like me.

[bravefighter]

Oh, really? That's super neat! I know I had a couple of my friends from back home here too.

But yeah, I've heard about Ash! He's pretty similar to us too, but I haven't been runnin' around with gym leaders in a while.

[pokeboy]

You have Silver and Gold here, don't you? Or, Gold and you sounded close.

[ oh, yeah. umm. ]

Ash's been travelling around for a long time. He's been going from region to region. ...You and him should hang out. He's a fun guy.

[bravefighter]

Yep! Crys too. There used to be a lot more of us.

But wow, really? I've only been to a couple of them. He sounds like it though!

[pokeboy]

He is. [ ... ] You could figure out the differences between your worlds and talk about pokémon with him. He could do with more friends in his life.

You two can have pokémon battles too.

[bravefighter]

Maybe, yeah! But I'm still tryin' to figure that out with you first.

[pokeboy]

You don't have to. [ noooo ] Or-- you should start with him. He needs distractions like that in his life. He hasn't been having an easy time...

[ It feels a tinsy bit bad to be using Ash like this, but on the other hand it's technically true? It could be very helpful for the other boy...! ]

[bravefighter]

I know I don't have to... but I wanna!

[Smilesmile. But oh.]

You might be right, but... I mean, I could talk to both of you, right?

[pokeboy]

[ ...he's really never going to focus on anything in this book, is he. ]

I don't want to talk about that stuff. [ ... ] It's weird.

[bravefighter]

It is?

[He doesn't really get why, so...]

How do you mean?

[pokeboy]

[ ... ]

Talking with you. It's just--weird to me. [ He shuts the book closed, pressing his fingers hardly on the cover. ] I don't want to do it.

It's- it's not anything about you, it's just... me. Okay?

[bravefighter]

Oh, uh... alright.

[Oops. He didn't know that... ! He feels pretty bad for that actually.]

I could leave you alone if you want me to, then?

[pokeboy]

[ Not as bad as Red feels! ]

If you want... [ he feels like a wooden plaaankkk ] But I don't wanna make your venusaur leave because of me. He came all this way to see Saur.

[bravefighter]

Well I mean, I don't want to... but I don't wanna make you uncomfortable or anything either!

[But he does laugh a little at that, at least.] Maybe, yeah. But I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you needed us to go.

[pokeboy]

It's fine. [ Not really. ] He shouldn't have to leave because of that. I can just read my book.

[bravefighter]

Well uh... if you're sure...

[He can just go back to eating some sandwiches then. Yeah... !]

[pokeboy]

[ HE IS. And that's that. Red is content to leave it at that and stare down at his book in silence.

Venusaur, however, is not, having noticed the atmosphere changing and particularly that of it around her trainer. It wasn't not suspected to the pokémon with what she knew what was causing this, but she was fine with allowing her trainer deal with it as he wanted to.

She rises now, scent shaking off her petals with the steps she takes to walk to where the other venusaur rests. It makes Red look up at her and want to question what she's doing, but he keeps his mouth shut and frowns down at the whatever in his hands.

Hello, Saur. Can she join you? ]

[bravefighter]

[Red's wondering that himself, though he's not really all that worried. he just watches her wander on over, chuckling a little to himself, if anything.

But yeah! Saur doesn't mind. He nods next to him, not really minding the company. Normally it's just him and his trainer, so having another Pokemon join him, especially one of his own species, is a nice change of pace.]
