Day 44 [video]

[The video opens on Roxas. He looks a bit worn out and kind of slumped.]

For anyone who has a Joltik, just so you know. They get bigger when they evolve.

[He lifts to camera up to show a Galvantura sitting happily on Roxas's head while Sparky is chattering at him to get down. The Galvantura shows no signs of moving, but rather settles in further, it's front legs coming down in front of Roxas's face. He attempts to brush them out of the way to no avail.]

A lot bigger.

[Private Text to Namine]

I was thinking we should head out to Kanto soon. Is that alright?

[Private Text to Sora]

Answer this if you're awake. Also, don't bother getting a bike. They suck.

[His eyes widen for a few seconds before he shakes it off, frowning a little at the camera.] I see.

[He didn't think evolution would change a pokemon's size that drastically. Maybe the height averages weren't just an average that the pokemon would naturally grow into...]

Pokemon are weird like that. It's hard to expect things with them.

[The Torchic on his head pipes up at that and hops down onto Sasuke's lap, seeming to nod into the camera and warbling when he feels a warm hand on his head. He ends up mumbling more to himself than to Roxas, then.]

I wonder how big Hiruzen will get...

That's a Torchic, right?

[Roxas is going to consult his pokedex. Unfortunately not a lot comes up. Just the basics.]

I think it evolves at least twice, so probably pretty big.

Yeah, he's a Torchic. I'll have to look more into his evolutions tonight.

[He nods, glancing down again and sighing as Torchic starts falling asleep on his lap. He'd been working Torchic pretty hard... He'd go easier on Torchic tomorrow, if only because they'd reach town then.

And, the darkening of the sky that isn't from sunset prompts him to frown more deeply. Great, looks like rain. He'll have to move soon.]

Is he your starter? I haven't seen you around before.

[After being around here for over two years, you get to remembering people.]

He is. [Don't mind the background moving and the camera shaking a little while he walks, carrying Torchic with him while he does.]

[He doesn't mind. Travelling's all part of the deal after all.]

He looks like a good partner. I started with a Pichu, but he's a Pikachu now.

[And that is Sparky's cue to start hamming it up on screen.]

[Partner. The term is still a little foreign to him and he just looks down at Torchic, his steps slowing before he finds a tree that looks like it'll provide enough cover and sits beneath it.]

... Maybe.

Trust me. They make great partners.

Oh yeah, I'm Roxas.

... Sasuke. [Somehow, since introducing himself to Kairi, giving his name out seems to be easier. At least his first name, since that isn't particularly dangerous.

And that noise over the music would be the rain starting to fall where Sasuke is.]

You've been here a long time?

Good to meet you.

[Makes little difference to Roxas.]

Yeah. Just over two years now.

Mm.

[Forgive the social awkwardness, as that seems to be a running theme with Sasuke. He gives a nod at that, unhitching his bag from his shoulder and settling enough for Hiruzen to finally just fall asleep. Still, two years? That's a serious setback for him, if he ends up staying there that long. Or longer.]

...

[Roxas sort of gets it. He's not as social as his other, but he can be talkative. Especially since the two years have done a good job of mellowing him out.]

So, where are you now?

Route 29. We should be getting into Cherrygrove City tomorrow night.

It's been a long time since I've been there.

Cherrygrove's a nice place though.

We'll have to stay there for a few days. Hiruzen needs the rest and I need to stock up on supplies before we head out to Violet City.

[He pauses, then glances back to Roxas.] Did you travel alone?

When I started out, yeah I did. Well, alone as one can be with a pokemon.

It helps to try and catch more pokemon, so that you can build up a team.

... I was thinking of finding a flying type soon anyway.

[True, he's seen a ton around the route, and a few of them even look kind of appealing. But at the same time, he isn't sure he wants one of them. He wants more information about how they'll evolve and how the can get stronger first...]

They're a good type to have. I have a Fearow, and he's been really useful, both in battle and in travelling.

[Fearow, Fearow, which one is that... Wait a second. He frowns thoughtfully at one of the 'unlocked' entries of his pokedex before looking up at the feed again.]

Evolves from Spearow?

Yeah, that's the one. He's been a Fearow for a long time though.

How fast is it?

To evolve? Uh, level eighteen I think they evolve at.

No, in battle.

[Video] Thank you for your keywords. I started singing the song upon reading them. XD;

[Video] You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed :)

[Video] Pff. This game is sparking my pokemon obsession all over again.

[Video] Why do you think I joined?

[Video] I suspected bribing or blackmail.

[Video] I need no such things when it comes to Pokemon

[Video] Good point. Pokemon is too lovable a franchise for that.
