Roxas [Cause I need freedom now]

[Today's video starts in the woods, being propped up by some tree branches. It's recording a pokemon battle.

Roxas stands in a battle position with Joltik on his head, Sparky the Pikachu on his right and Xion the Luxray on the left. They're facing down a rather larger hoard of nidorans, yanmas, growlithes, and various other wild pokemon in the area. If anyone gets a good look at Roxas, they would notice a yellow glow about him, as well as the fact that his hair is defying gravity more than usual.

There's a pause for a moment and then battle is on. There's electricity flying everywhere and Roxas is in the thick of things, tossing out electric attacks with the best of them. Thunderwave and thunderbolt and spark and it's amazing that the forest is largely intact after this fight.

The dust finally settles and Roxas goes to face the gear.]

I was feeling better, so I went out to train and that happened. Next thing I know, I'm able to use pokemon attacks and wild pokemon are coming after me like crazy.

[He looks over his shoulder to see more pokemon coming. He raises his hand and it crackles with electricity. The screen starts wavering and making a weird popping, static sound before it cuts out.]

What exactly's go---[kzzzt! sshkshkshskshk!]

[ooc: So Roxas shorted out his gear. Any video responses will come several hours later as he had to ask Namine to get him a new gear. Hopefully, rubber gloves will prevent him from doing that again. For action, he's in and around Goldenrod.]

[It's been a rough couple of days for Roxas. Between fighting Shedinja to exhaustion and finding out Sora was gone, he hasn't been feeling the greatest. But at least Xion's awake so he doesn't really have that to worry about anymore. Not knowing what else to do, Roxas decided to get a job, and there was one on a boat so he took it, assuming it was an extension of a pokemart job. So, he loaded a bunch of boxes on to a boat and they said he'd get supper, so that's where he was when he fell asleep. The job was just supposed to be a way to keep busy, to prevent himself from thinking about everything that happened, so he didn't really pay attention to the fact that he was on the Cianwood Ferry.

Yeah.

If you knew he was in Olivine, Roxas has been missing for about a day now. The transmission comes when he's woken up and realized what happened. It's meant to be filtered to Namine and Xion, but he failed at that. He does sound rather sheepish when he speaks.]

Uh...I'm on my way to Cianwood City. I got a job on a boat, but I didn't know it was the ferry.

I'm alright, but I guess I can't really get back to Olivine right now. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Sorry.

[Even though he feels bad he can't really contain the wonder on his face as he looks out at the ocean. He's never really seen anything like it, that he can remember, so he's pretty amazed.]

[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!]

It's like the only pokemon the fishermen here can catch is magikarp.


[Roxas's inability to make private text entries strikes. You might be able to draw him into a conversation, but guess who he is and he'll probably just end the conversation. Audio/Video responses will be responded to with text. He won't be too pleased with his mistake]

[The pokegear's on, and recording, but Roxas is nowhere to be seen. Actually, you might be able to see his hand. He's sleeping. But Sparky isn't]

Chu?

[A face appears on the screen, but it's not Pichu, it's Pikachu! Sparky finally evolved, but Roxas was too tired to say anything about that. It's still the same Sparky though, and when he realizes the pokegear's on, he's gonna show off. There's a lot of waving at the screen as he starts talking about a battle earlier today. ]

Pika! Pikapi, PIkachu! Pi---pikachu!

[It's mostly filled with notes. Roxas didn't mean to make the entry public, but it happened and he doesn't feel like fixing it.]

It's nice again, the weather. I hope it doesn't storm again.

Kakuna evolved (level 10). He's a Beedrill now, not as mean as the wild ones. That was fast.

It's hard to train Caterpie (level 3), but she has good stamina. Thanks Ash.

I think Rattata (level 13. He needs a name) is going to evolve soon. Wonder what comes next? Does Pichu (level 13) evolve?

I found items in the grass yesterday. Do people just drop them?

Might head to Azelea soon. I want to see more pokemon.

[long pause]

Axel? Have you made it to Violet yet?

[slow day at the pokemart. Open to action logs if wanted]

[Roxas is playing with pokegear, probably turned the audio on while he was doing it.]

This thing's got a radio to? Chu! That's kind of neat. [he's surfing through channels so one can hear the Poke-march, the theme to Professor Oak's show, Trainer Spotlight]

Oh? It's on again? Sorry. Pi-pi-chu...

[ooc:tags to be slow.]
