Day 10 - Action for those in/around Violet.

[seasaltkeys]

[So, today in Violet City, it's a pleasant evening. And there is one very determined slowpoke marching along the street]

Poke, poke, poke, poke...

[There's also one very confused trainer chasing after it.]

Slowpoke, where are you going?

[I don't think even Slowpoke even knows. It just needs to get somewhere. Feel free to help Roxas catch him.]

[As luck would have it, Ven rounds a corner and has a Slowpoke bonk right into his legs. He lets out a small, surprised sound and flails a little before staring down at the critter]

Hi, there, uh...gosh what are you?

[Digs for his pokégear]

[Slowpoke doesn't really seem to have realized that he has hit someone, but rather continues on his journey. Roxas comes running up behind him]

That's my slowpoke!

[He holds out it's pokeball, trying to recall it, but the beam doesn't reach where Slowpoke is]

[Ven casts a puzzled glane in Roxas' direction]

It is..? I'll help you then!

[That's cue for Ven to try and get in that Slowpoke's way again, so Roxas can catch up to it]

[Roxas nods, quite aware of the irony that he's chasing after a pokemon known for it's slowness]

Thanks. I didn't know he could move so fast.

[Slowpoke in the meantime is just plowing on ahead. What is driving him?]

With a name like that, I'm surprised too.

[At least they're both speed demons, although Slowpoke has a bit of a head start]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Whoa... HEY, WHAT'S THAT?

[voice]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It's a slowpoke.

[voice]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

Slowpoke? What's it doing?

[voice]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Right now? Running, for some reason.

[voice]

[little-anchor.livejournal.com]

It runs funny. Is it gonna get away?

[Totodile is now following Slowpoke and trying to catch up. God knows why.]

Eh? Mr. Hat Junior? Where are you going?

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas runs up behind her.]

Probably wherever my slowpoke's going.

[action]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

[Welp, let's not just stand there.]

Why? [Let's try the Pokéball... Nope.] Mr. Hat Junior! Come back here! [She's running now.]

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I dunno. He just decided he needed to move, I guess. It seems it's a game of follow the leader.

[action]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

What if it's something important? Like someone's stuck in a tree! [... Yes, Trucy. Yes... someone's stuck in a tree. That's why Slowpoke's moving.]

[Both Chansey and Aerith notice the Slowpoke passing by them. Aerith doesn't think much about the pokemon until she notices a familiar boy calling it out to it.] Roxas? [She turns to Chansey and points toward Slowpoke.] Stop that pokemon, Chansey!

[Chansey goes after the Slowpoke as quickly as her large body can take her.] Sey! Chansey chan!? [Stop! Wait for me!?]

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Poke, poke, poke, poke

[Slowpoke has taken no notice of Chansey, but continues on. Roxas just sort of waves at Aerith and tries to keep up with Slowpoke.]

[Action]

[radiantxsmile.livejournal.com]

[Chansey pouts and chases after the Slowpoke because she hates to be ignored and her trainer asked her to stop him. Stubborn pokemon is stubborn.] Chansey!

Hmmm. [Aerith began to wonder what was going on with Slowpoke until she catches glimpse of Roxas. She smiles and decides to follow because now her Chansey isn't going to come back until she completes the task.] Hey, Roxas. Is something wrong with your Slowpoke?

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I don't think there is. He just needed to go somewhere while we were training.

[Action]

[radiantxsmile.livejournal.com]

That's kinda odd. I wonder if there's something attracting him to go to wherever he's going.

[Chansey will keep chasing after Slowpoke, but she's still a few feet away.]

[justicereigns]

Need help there kiddo?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I didn't think Slowpoke would move this fast.

[justicereigns]

You'd think given the name, huh. [Reaches for the thing and picks it up. Hunter reflexes.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Slowpoke is still walking though, it doesn't seem to notice that it's been picked up. Roxas runs up to Smoker, and pauses for breath]

Thanks.

[justicereigns]

The height has to come in handy sometime. .... Is it still trying to walk?
