[Route 29] Video/Action - Celadon City ((backdated to the 7th!))

[Video]

*at first, the video appears to be accidental, the 'gear held somewhat off to the side in one hand and thus giving a slightly crooked, odd-angled view in which one can make out Sion smiling and waving goodbye to some of the girls from the Celadon gym. Once the farewells are finished, however, he turns his attention back to the 'gear, now holding it up to better focus on the image on himself. The horns he acquired from the outbreak-inflicted mutations are plainly visible, to the point he's not even bothering making the futile effort to hide or disguise them*

I must say, if the trainers and leaders of the gyms here in this region are as pleasant as the young ladies here, collecting the badges will hardly feel like any trouble at all. Perhaps I'll have to consider paying them a visit again sometime once I've finished...

*he pauses, then adds*

Ah, and by the way, if you're free, would you care to join me for a drink sometime while I'm in the area, Arturia?

*he moves to turn off the feed, glancing up at a distinctive "swa~" from overhead as the video cuts out*


[Action]

*those who are in the immediate area outside the Celadon gym, meanwhile, might be just in time to see a swablu swoop in and land right on Sion's head, settling in quite comfortably as his horns provide a natural nest, much to Sion's apparent chagrin*

And just who let you out, Whisper?

*the only response he gets is a content "blu~"*

Comments

video; Sorry for the delay, had to pull a double shift last minute at work <3

[ When she answers, she's just wiping away the corner of her mouth with a napkin, trying to finish up what was probably her tenth meal of the day so far. ]

That gym? [ It clicks pretty quickly after. ] Ah! You have arrived in Celadon City?

[ Even though he's asked her publicly for drinks, Saber doesn't think twice on it. She's gone out for drinks with plenty of people, so there's no way this could end poorly any way. ]

I have endless amounts of energy it seems, so all my work has been done well in advance. If you would like to name a time and place, I can meet you there.

That's okay~ <3

*when Sion replies, he now has a swablu contentedly perched on his head that he's trying to ignore- apparently those horns make for a rather cozy nest...*

I have. Since I've managed to win against all the gyms in Johto, I thought I'd give challenging the ones here a try.

*oh, clearly there's no way a friendly drink can end poorly at all, right?*

Though do you have any recommendations? I haven't really had a chance to see much of the city yet...

[ex_cashcow493]

[ The sight is worth a chortle from her, as impolite as it may be. ]

The gym challenge is something that so many people here actively seek out, is it not? I only earned my first badge a few weeks ago and thought little of it. Although my team vastly is superior...

[ A pause. ] Usually Lancer is the one who knows where the best taverns are.

[dreamsofahero]

*will pretend he didn't hear that*

It is, and it certainly has its advantages; aquiring the means to fly on one's pokemon, for example. Though apparently, if you've defeated all eight leaders in one region, in the other, you'll have the option to challenge a much more difficult team.

Oh? Perhaps we should ask for his recommendation, then.

[ex_cashcow493]

As a Breeder, it seems I was able to borrow the discs I needed from Shirou and was able to fly like so. Although being able to travel would open up more opportunities and places to fly to.

We could do that if you would like.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, yes, it's the same with Ryner, although apparently Rose pestered him into winning the badge that allows trainers to fly anyway.

Well, it certainly seems a better idea than simply wandering the city aimlessly. And if he's a friend of yours, he's certainly welcome to join us, as far as I'm concerned, of course.

[ex_cashcow493]

Well then, we should send him an invitation. If you do not mind, of course.

Will you be bringing your friend along? Ryner, that is.

[dreamsofahero]

If I'd minded, I hardly would have suggested it.

And of course; he'd hardly do anything if I didn't insist on his accompanying me from time to time.

[ex_cashcow493]

Perhaps Lancer could keep your guest entertained while the two of us speak at great lengths. We have many things to discuss, do we not?

[dreamsofahero]

That's certainly a possibility. Although we can always speak again another time if too little is covered now; it shouldn't take long for me to my immediate business in this region.
