[It's been a rough couple of days for Roxas. Between fighting Shedinja to exhaustion and finding out Sora was gone, he hasn't been feeling the greatest. But at least Xion's awake so he doesn't really have that to worry about anymore. Not knowing what else to do, Roxas decided to get a job, and there was one on a boat so he took it, assuming it was an extension of a pokemart job. So, he loaded a bunch of boxes on to a boat and they said he'd get supper, so that's where he was when he fell asleep. The job was just supposed to be a way to keep busy, to prevent himself from thinking about everything that happened, so he didn't really pay attention to the fact that he was on the Cianwood Ferry.

Yeah.

If you knew he was in Olivine, Roxas has been missing for about a day now. The transmission comes when he's woken up and realized what happened. It's meant to be filtered to Namine and Xion, but he failed at that. He does sound rather sheepish when he speaks.]

Uh...I'm on my way to Cianwood City. I got a job on a boat, but I didn't know it was the ferry.

I'm alright, but I guess I can't really get back to Olivine right now. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Sorry.

[Even though he feels bad he can't really contain the wonder on his face as he looks out at the ocean. He's never really seen anything like it, that he can remember, so he's pretty amazed.]

Right. Thanks Xion. I've got my pokemon with me, so you don't have to worry. And it looks like I'll be able to fly back.

I didn't mean to worry you, especially after...[He stops himself]

I'll take lots of pictures.

Oh, yeah, I heard about that from Cecil. Good luck on getting the badge, Roxas.

Thanks. I'll get it and be back in no time!

I'll look forward to hearing about it.

I know. But as long as you're alright, I guess I shouldn't worry so much.

[That gets a genuine smile from her though.]

Promise? I want to see them when you get back.

You'll probably get sick of fish, with a job like that. I'll spare you any more sushi deliveries for a while.

And since it only needs the Zephyr badge to work properly, we can share it with many people if needed.

How can we share it?

[He doesn't really use TMs and HMs.]

Yeah, it's mostly fish...and curry sometimes.

By using it on multiple Pokémon, even if they belong to other trainers. That's the advantage with HMs: multiple uses.

I promise. I'll make sure to take a lot.

[He turns the gear around to see the ocean]

Look at this!

[Nod]

Right.

Oh...so I can use it and then pass it on to someone else?

[Oh wow. This is probably the first time she's seen it in that perspective, and she's visibly in awe.]

Oh wow... it. It looks so pretty from there.

[He's been staring at it for most of the day.]

Yeah, it's really neat. I didn't know the ocean was this big.

If you wish, though you might want to keep it to prepare for future team members.

Yeah, I might hold onto it. If you get it for winning a gym battle, it doesn't seem right to give to people who haven't earned it.

It might not be right, but it can be quite helpful for a travelling group. More Pokémon that can fly or surf would reduce the strain on everyone.

[Shrug]

It's just me right now so I don't think I really have to worry about that.

Now I'm starting to wish I was able to come along, just to be able to view that in person.

We'll have to come back this way when Xion's ready to get her badge, so we'll see it then, maybe.

Mm.

... you'll be careful, won't you?

[Natural motherhen, that's her.]

True. This little boat trip of yours seems rather unplanned.

I made a big batch of peanut butter sauce. Tell me when you hit port, I'll send you some...so you can at least cover the fish if it gets too bland.
