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.]

[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]

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[And he doesn't show signs of stopping]

I just need to get him back into his pokeball, so if we could slow him down somehow...

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know!

[Ven throws a pokéball in Slowpoke's direction and out comes Drifloon]

Drifloon, get a hold of him!

[And with that, Drifloon grabs onto Slowpoke's tail...and gets dragged along. Does seem to slow it down a bit though]

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

That seems to be working!

[Granted, Roxas has been chasing slowpoke for a while and is kind of out of breath. Still he goes for another sprint with the pokeball. Another miss]

Maybe we need another pokemon to slow him down.

Lessee...

[Fumbles for another pokéball since running makes this awkward. All the same he gets a hold of one and pitches it in Slowpoke's direction]

Help Drifloon stop that Slowpoke, Vaporeon!

[Good thing she's got a good speed stat, off she goes after that not-so-slow-poke]

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Slowpoke has started to slow down because of all the pokemon, but it keeps wanting to go forward]

I think I might be able to get him now.

[He holds out the pokeball, and is able to retrieve Slowpoke]

I guess I'll have to train him better.

[With Slowpoke recovered, Ven's pokémon mosey on over to him for their due headpats. While Ven does that, he glances to Roxas]

Is he a new one?

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He hatched from an egg recently, so his level's kinda low.

[But Roxas loves him anyway]

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? I bet he's just learning then!

[Aw Roxas, you're a nice guy]

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

He is. He's kinda hard to train though.

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah..? How so?

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

His level's low so it's hard to put him up against other pokemon here. They're too strong for him.

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Even the wild ones?

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. When he was at level one it was really hard. Now he's at level ten so it's a bit easier.

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

So they start off at level one...that makes sense.

It sounds like you're doing pretty well with him so far.

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Well, I've been training a lot.

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

That's good! Are you going to challenge Falkner soon?

action

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the plan.

action

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

That's great! I'm hoping I'll be ready sometime soon, too.
