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..!"

[Video]

[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.]

[ He's still lostin Pinwheel Forest. His Emolga is draped over his shoulder. ]

I don't believe that stick will hold up for long.

[video]

[used_frustration]

HhhAAAAH! [It makes for a good way to toss it to the side though; and Cera tramples in between them to take his place while he gropes for the transceiver.]

Ugh... Tell me something I don't know..! It's not like I was dropped here with a proper boken though... Hey, Cera! TAIL WHIP!

[...That tail whip just threw Axew into a tree, oops.]

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

Best to let your Pokémon handle things for now then.

[ As if he's one to talk. Guess who almost resorted to trying to use a stick when it took him a while to find a quality practice sword. ]

[video]

[used_frustration]

Yea I'll keep that in mind next time there's a 'thing' in my face. [Oooh, touchy touchy.]

I wasn't exactly aiming to beat it.

[...Though watching Cera launch a horn drill... He casually grabs a pokeball from the bag, looking back. Hnnn...]

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

Many people would have considered retreat to be the proper course of action.

[ Not that Sephiroth is one of those people. ]

[video]

[used_frustration]

Eh. What can I say... [Pokeball ready, Cera preparing another charge...]

I picked up a bad habit from a friend. HN-!

[The ball is thrown and the Axew caught off guard! One... Two...

Caught!] Heh. Alright..!

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

There are worse habits to pick up, I suppose.

[ A pause as his Emolga decides to jump off somewhere for no apparent reason. ]

You seem to be adjusting well.

[video]

[used_frustration]

Yea, probably. [Picking up the pokeball now.]

I figure it's easy enough to get a handle on; not the same as duel monsters or kendo, but it's easy enough I guess. [Little does he remember, the game version existed in his world.]

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

Indeed. Though they do take some getting used to.

[ And the Emolga is back. Apparently she decided she wanted a berry since she has one now. ]

Minerva. [ Said warningly. He's not about to let her eat a juicy berry while sitting on his shoulder. She pouts at him but still gets down to eat her berry. ]

[video]

[used_frustration]

Eh... I guess...

[He'll just lean back against his tree now.] I figure I'll take things as they come really.

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

That's all any of us can do really. [ Well, mostly. ]

[video]

[used_frustration]

Eh, that and push forward. [Stretch.] I figure I'll take the gym challenge myself... Breeding ain't exactly my area.

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

It seems most are following the same path. [ He'd be at the first gym by now if he wasn't still lost in Pinwheel Forest. He just had to do it the hard way and walk from where he was instead of warping to Nuvema and going from there. ]

[video]

[used_frustration]

Really?

Heh! Guess I've got competition then!

[video]

[creepy_son_of_a]

Indeed.

Catching up to those that have been here for some time will be quite a task.

[video]

[used_frustration]

Heh.

I'll get there somehow though! Just wait...!

[video] also omg pokemon black 2 leaks aaaaa now i need to wait for a rom hope it comes before i go

[withmyfluffbat]

[is it wrong i'm already thinking of the beginning of up and down 2, and how cecilia gets her starter? it could be like, she's just sitting there, and then tepig kicks her in the head.

also i should have named my icons i have to idea which is which
Here, have an Axew. I mean Iris.]
Woooooah! That Axew looks cool!
[Go, Axew!]

I CAN'T WAIT AAAAH-

[used_frustration]

[[And no, no it's not. xD Oh- Do you mind if I improvise with this since Ryuzaki caught it in another thread already? :0]]

[Axew also seems to only briefly be appeased by honing his blade against the rhydon's solid armor. Ah well.]

Is it? [Picking up the transceiver again... Hoh.] I've never seen one until now so...

I KNOOW AND I'LL LIVEBLOG IT ON MY JOURNAL IF YOU CURR ABOUT THAT SORTA THING

[withmyfluffbat]

[...unless I take it with me on my trip.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON IF IT'S A BOY OR GIRL TEPIG THOUGH. IF IT'S TAKESHI OR KI.
That's okay, improvise away!]
Yeah. They're normally green, like this! [Whoops, she's got a baby Axew tangled in her hair, trying to pop out. In the background, Salamence let out a sigh.] Oh, and I'm Iris, and I'm kinda a gym leader in my world. If you have any questions, I'm here!

AHMGAH YUS- (Oh, and... I made the six/seven hour deadline hahaha! (with Loki. :U) )

[used_frustration]

[[AND HAHAAHAHAH YES.]]

[CHOKE COUGH SPUTTER-]

You're carrying that guy around in your hair..!?

[SHIIIIIIT that's crazy. okay.] Er... You can call me Ryuzaki I guess. Gym leader eh? [Heh!] You're probably leagues ahead of me here then, shit... [He's saying that in good humor though; looks like someone's duelist nature has transferred to 'trainer nature' quite well!]
