...That guy was crazy.

[Lancer stood outside the Cianwood Pokemon center, gesturing over his shoulder to the gym in the background. It was funny how something like that could sound like a shining compliment of one's character, but the knight in the Hawaiian shirt had a huge smile on his face as he said it. Beside him was a Hitmonchan and a Lucario, the latter of which clearly proved the saying about pets resembling their owners. The former simply raised one hand for a congratulatory fistbump from his trainer, which he of course got.]

We're gonna be headin' to the Safari Zone next, if anybody's in the area. Can't say I've seen anyone I know yet, but I guess it's worth asking. I'm kind of liking it around here; nice place to set up a bonfire, actually.

[This is the face of a man that should never be allowed near fire.]

Oh--yeah, that's right. I found a few new guys in the PC when I got here: couple Bunearys, a pink Quagsire, and somethin' called a Flygon. So if anybody's worried about any of those, they're okay.

It appears you acquire more Pokemon through those who leave than you do from the wilderness.

[ While normally concerning, it means he's made friends. She's proud of him in a way for that. ]

What shall you do with them?

[solas_ion]

[SO MANY FRIENDS]

[and look at this face, who wouldn't love this dumb puppy]

Long as nobody else is looking for 'em, I don't mind taking care of them.

[ He is pretty charming in his own way. That's why they're in the situation they're in, isn't it? ]

Is that how it is? [ Chewing slowly. ]

Will you have room for any additional ones found in the Safari Zone?

video;

[solas_ion]

Sure, it'll be fine. I don't have that many just yet.

[you lazy bastard, you.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ He has a lot already, but there's truth in his words. Saber had far more during her last stay, didn't she? ]

Most excellent.

It would be tiresome if you did not catch as many as I while we were there.

[solas_ion]

Oh, we making this a challenge? That sounds like it'd be a good time.

video;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ When are they not making it a challenge? ]

May the best trainer win.

Are there rules you wish to add to said challenge before it is official?

[As a matter of fact, guess who does happen to be in the Cianwood area, trekking around with an Ivysaur at her side and a Spinarak sitting comfortably on her shoulder.

It's not like Lancer's hard to spot from a distance, given the Hawaiian...everything, anyway.]

Have you seen anyone you know yet, Lancer?

action;

[solas_ion]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAA BEST MYTH BUDDY]

Can't say I have. Do I know a lot of girls as pretty as you?

[lancer, saber is gonna kick the shit out of you]

action;

[doitrockapella]

Only one, as far as I know.

[He's getting zero help on this end, either.]

So, get to know me better and that'll make two.

action;

[solas_ion]

Hey, I could do that.

[this idiot]

It's been a while. How've you been doing?

action;

[doitrockapella]

Just fine — and taking a trip down memory lane, since I've been in Cianwood. I came here with friends one October and the weather proved to be so bad, we couldn't get back out again for weeks.

[She smiles at him.]

You came for the gym, I take it?

action;

[solas_ion]

Yeah? Damn, sounds like a mess. This place is nice enough, but I wouldn't want to be stuck here.

[Shrugging, he looked to the two Pokemon with him; they seemed to be keeping busy with Lucario catching some light punches from Hitmonchan.]

Ar--Saber and I thought we'd do some traveling. There's a lot of the world we haven't seen yet, and I thought I'd have some fun and a few good matches along the way.

action;

[doitrockapella]

You should've let me know in advance; I could've made sure to point you at all the good restaurants.

[Speaking as someone who has pretty much been LITERALLY EVERYWHERE because GEOGRAPHY.]

She's here with you, Saber?

[wing_attack]

[Oh. He's seen a picture of Cianwood before... is that it?]

Cianwood, right? That trainer uses fighting Pokemon? Is he tough?

[Video]

[solas_ion]

A little, yeah. Fighting him was a hell of a good time.

[Video]

[wing_attack]

Huh. I... need to fight him. I want to get that Fly HM. I have too many Pokemon who can use it and I don't want to keep borrowing it from other people.

[Video]

[solas_ion]

Oh yeah, that.

[people that didn't actually think about that: this guy]

Almost forgot about that thing. Guess getting back to Olivine's gonna be a lit easier...

[Video]

[wing_attack]

I have a few Pokemon that can fly, but I really like flying types and it's a useful move, so...

[Video]

[solas_ion]

Oh, yeah? I have a couple, I think...don't really get along with birds, so I'm kind of stuck for options, y'know?

[ladywithnovoice]

So I take it the Gym battle was fun for you then?

text;

[solas_ion]

You could say that, probably. I like a good fight, and around here I just take what I can get.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Have you tried battling other trainers? It seems like the people who've been here longer could give you the kind of challenge you're interested in.

text;

[solas_ion]

That's kind of the problem. I don't know a whole lot of people that've been here longer than me.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

It doesn't have to be someone who's been here as long as you, does it?

It just needs to be someone who has a team the same level as yours.
