Day 28 [Video/Action]

[seasaltkeys]

[Once again, the feed clicks on during a gym battle, in the last few moments, since Roxas dropped the gear in excitement. Sparky is striking his victory pose as there is a fried Gengar not too far away.

Morty nods in approval and comes forward to congratulate Roxas, although our young hero appears to have other plans. He practically snatches the badge and TM from the stunned gym leader, and runs towards the exit, scooping up the gear on his way out. Sparky has to run to catch up and the feed ends abruptly. This ends the video portion.]

[Once outside, Roxas falls to his knees and is breathing pretty hard, pokegear and TM scattered around him, but the badge is held firmly in his hand. He'll be fine in a few minutes, but it should be obvious that someone really doesn't like ghost pokemon. See Day 13 for details. Once he recovers, he'll want to go for ice cream, so for action people in Ecruteak, feel free to encounter him in front of the gym or while getting ice cream. Video people, all responses will come after he's gotten ice cream and he won't want to talk about what happened.]

Roxas?

[he'll be silently fretting-- and maybe mashing a few text messages, sorry he's just concerned!-- until Roxas gets back with him.]

[Roxas will appear on the screen, with ice cream. He got your texts.]

I'm alright.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You sure? You kinda bolted out of there...

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm fine now. It was just...I don't like ghosts.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Bad experience?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

You could say that...yeah. Were you here when the ghost pokemon started causing nightmares?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Oh... yeah, I was. [he spent the entire weekend alone. not a single soul in Johto.]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

That's why.

[And that's about all he wants to say about that. It was not fun times.]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I understand how you might feel, then... As long as you got your badge though, right?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's all that really matters.

Four more to go.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Halfway there! How's it feel?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Pretty good now, actually. I'm really on my way.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

What're you gonna do once you're Champion?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Travel. See the other regions. Find Red and challenge him to a battle.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You won't forget about the rest of us when you're a powerful and famous trainer, right?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I'll try not to.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Good! I'll be cheering you on.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Where are you guys now?

We're on our way to take on Bugsy! ... And then we gotta go back to Violet.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

...Azalea, huh? [It's been a while since he was there] Bugsy uses bug types, so if you have a flying type or a fire type, you should be alright.

Why Violet?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I've got Metal Chocobo, and Hope knows Flamethrower... I should be all right.

Gotta get the badge there, too! [poor Sora's still four badges behind Roxas.]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Right. [That...feels like a really long time ago for him]

You have a lot of catching up to do.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I've got all the time in the world! Right?

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I guess so.
