First Roar - New Clothes! [Action - Nuvema/Video -Route 1]

[used_frustration]

 [Action]

Maybe he's taking a more intelligent route than most would about this, but the fact remains that what he was wearing back home, in the middle of early spring, is not going to be appropriate for what the season is now. And what the season is NOW is not one he'd expected to see.

Mind, he didn't expect it to be June or anything either so whatever...

"Heh! I look like my Aunt," he mutters as he steps out of a small, tiny shop in the town. It's nothing much in that store- the place doesn't even have a pokemon center, so he wasn't exactly able to stock up. But a bit of money later and he's got enough clothes to cycle through for a camping trip properly, even if he'll have to wait until Accumula for anything more.

He seems to be travelling with a pokemon out of its ball however- "Rhy..."

"Yea yea, I'm going..." Route 1, here they come. "Just making sure we don't starve on the way..!"

[As it seems, Ryuzaki isn't one to carry a video feed open all the time, and it doesn't click on until late in the evening. He's somehow managed to set up a small (AND SAFE-) camp-fire off the side of Route 1; looks like he's turning in for the night.] Before anyone decides to say 'route one, you could have so made Accumula'... I LEFT AT FIVE.

[He stretches.] Anyways, I figure I might as well actually talk to someone before I go as crazy as Tamae-ba so... He freezes- something rustled behind him.] What the he...

AXEW!

WHAT!?

[The transceiver has fallen to the ground, but you are now subject to watching a video of Ryuzaki attempting to fight off an oddly coloured axew with a swor- er, stick, before his rhydon comes to aid.]

AAAAAaaaahh!

[ Why is Hazel screaming? Well, the flaming Pokémon that runs through when she dives out of the way is a good hint. She coughs when she inhales a lungful of smoke from the burning grass. It's a Ponyta... and it's blue. When it turns back for another run Hazel throws out the first Poké ball she gets her hand on. It's Cid and he's kind of on his own as far as deciding what attacks to use. Hazel is still choking on the smoke and can't really talk right now.

He tries a Slam attack which misses and gets stomped(a critical hit) for his trouble. That isn't the end though and he gets up and retaliates with a Quick attack. The attack doesn't do much to the Ponyta though and it responds with a Flame Wheel.

Cid seems about on his last legs. Hazel is about ready to switch him out when he makes a determined face. She hesitates.

Cid tries another Slam which connects this time. The Ponyta is knocked off balance but, nowhere near out of fight yet. Cid acts again before it can recover its feet. He takes deep breath and uses Ice Beam for the first time since Hazel started trying to teach him. He manages to freeze the Ponyta and Hazel, after a few seconds of gawking, decides to throw a Poké ball before it thaws out. A few tense seconds of the poké ball shaking and it clicks. Yay. Ponyta is caught.

Hazel coughs a bit more, stumbles over and gives Cid a hug. After a bit she remembers she turned the X-transceiver on. ]

...So, I was going to see if anyone was close enough to help. [ She croaks. ] Guess I don't need to now. [ She gives a sheepish smile and turns off the feed. ]
