Day 4 - Text

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas is sitting at a restaurant patio in Violet City, enjoying some of his hard-earned wages. He's been working at the poke-mart since yesterday. If you are in the area and want to bug him go ahead.]

Does anyone know anything about the Sprout Tower? I've walked past it a few times but it's hard to tell what it is.

[pause]

Also, Nanoha? Falkner uses sfkjghajkfd

[abrupt end to the entry. Rattata may or may not have stepped on the keyboard]

Doing well without a Pokegear at least. You didn't see him the other day, but I have a Magikarp, and he evolved suddenly while Lara was recording him. He turned into a massive sea monster, and in the confusion, Lara dropped the Pokegear and it was knocked about 20 yards away by him.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Magikarp can do that? I thought they were just floppy fish.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

I thought the same until it happened...

[Ash looks over to Roxas' table]

Oh! Am I interrupting?

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Not really. Rattata was just playing with my pokegear.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Haha, Rattata is a pretty strong little guy. You think he may evolve?

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I was surprised to. People seem to think that they're weak.

[Roxas pauses to check the pokedex]

Not yet. I caught him at a low level, but if I keep training him, I think it'll be pretty soon. How are your pokemon doing?

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Doing fine, we're training for the Gym battle now that Magikarp has evolved. I'm going to try and win some money put into the Ranch.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I heard that the gym battle was really tough. At least, that's what the guy there told me.

Ranch?

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was on my way back to the ranch when I ran into you fighting the Beedrill. I'm a Pokemon breeder, and I do my work on the Ranch there.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I think I saw your announcement about that. What does a breeder do?

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Well... We help Pokemon make eggs. Like breeding dogs together for a perfect breed?

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas raises an eyebrow]

Pokemon lay eggs? They're weirder than I thought.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they all do. Bugs, fish, animals, even the rock-ones do.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I guess you've seen baby pokemon then.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I've hatched one of the Hoppip eggs already. They are the same size as full grown ones, actually.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

So not that different from older pokemon. It must depend on levels.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Something about Pokemon ties them all together. They all evolve, and they all eat berries, so I wonder if there's something to learn from that...

[Ash isn't yet aware there are Legendary or non-evolving Pokemon, but you can see where he got the conclusion.]

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They're a special sort of animal, that's for sure.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure if they are animals at all, though, Roxas...

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas thinks for a moment]

They look like animals, but aren't. Weird.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

[Ash took a moment to think as well.]

Oh, Roxas? What time is it? I don't have a watch on me.

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas is about to ask why, then he remembers what happened. He checks his pokegear]

It's almost 7.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Ah, I better get going then. See you around, Roxas. Take care of yourself!

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You to, Ash. Maybe I'll drop by your ranch, sometime.

[action]

[brave-phantom.livejournal.com]

Please do! You're welcome anytime, Roxas!
