Roxas [Cause I need freedom now]

OOC: This is a small introspection piece, as it is officially a year today that Roxas was accepted into Route. It's just a chance for Roxas to reflect so it's not really meant to be responded to icly, and there will be a follow up entry. For those who want to take the action option for it, Roxas will be on the Olivine beach. I'll probably come back and edit this later, but that will be when I have a brain. Other than that, hard to believe that it's been a year, so I just want to take a quick moment here and say Thank You to everyone who has played with me and made this game a joy to be a part of it. Playing in Route has been a great experience, and I'm grateful to have been apart of it. Here's to another year!

( With my lightening bolts a glowin', I can see where I'm going )

 

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from, . So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right? 

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. I didn't think that... Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift. Also: www.youtube.com/watch mood music. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Route!]

[So, Roxas has been out training for a few days, more than he has been in the past, because he wants to challenge Falkner.]


[This music can now be heard.]

[What?! Rattata is evolving!]



[Congratulations! Your Rattata evolved into Raticate!]

I...I did it! Rattata finally evolved! I should be able to challenge Falkner soon.

Cate! Raticate!
