Seventh Punch

[conflictedrebel]

[For tonight's entertainment Maoh will be attempting to use Kanji's gear as a surf board! He toddles his way on over to the pool but before he's able to use the device as a floaty he slips on a tiny puddle and falls in instead. Unfortunately, as the gear is on the ground all the viewers can see is the sky above. Though-- if you listen carefully you

Take him to the Pokemon Centre. [The image is rather blurry at times--it's obvious Merlin's running.] You're behind the house, right? I'll come with you.

[WELP, SHIT. He totally had no idea that this was recording-- well now is not the time to freak out about this. He shakes his head to snap himself out of his freak-out. And with that he carefully cradles Pichu and stands.]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm by the pool.

[tiercelet]

[Thankfully, the house is right next door so it only takes a few minutes for Merlin to arrive.] Do you have a pokemon you can ride? A Ponyta, a Rapidash, or anything like that?

[Action]

[conflictedrebel]

[he shakes his head.] No. I got a Pidgeot... But it doesn't know fly.

[tiercelet]

That's all right. [He selects two of the pokeballs from his belt and releases the catch on both. An Arcanine and a Rapidash form before them.] I've got Will and Gedref--which one are you more comfortable riding?

[conflictedrebel]

[he looks at Rapidash and then to Arcanine.] I can just sit on the Rapidash. I dunno how I'd be able to hold on to the Arcanine while holding onto Maoh.

[tiercelet]

[Gedref immediately trots over to Kanji, pawing at the ground with her hooves and nudging at him.] Get on. I'll take care of you.

Will. [The Arcanine gives a playful growl and makes to pounce, but Merlin holds up a hand.] Will, c'mon. Let's help Kanji and Maoh to the Pokemon Centre first. All right?

[conflictedrebel]

[Time to feel awkward about riding on a pony later. Though, he did feel safe on her.]

D-Don't worry Maoh, you'll... you'll be safe soon enough... So don't crap out on me...

[tiercelet]

Let's go!

[The Rapidash waits patiently for Kanji to be settled before she straightens with a determined neigh. At Merlin's gesture, both pokemon take off toward the Pokemon Centre.

With their speed, it takes very little time for them to arrive at their destination.]

[conflictedrebel]

[HE'S RIDIN' A PONY. YEEE-HAW. -- I--I mean... <<;; yes, any--anyways. Once there he just about hops right off of the Rapidash and sprints to the door. He, however doesn't move further and just stares at the door. His hand twitches by his side.]

[tiercelet]

What're you waiting for? [With both pokemon safely in their pokeballs again, Merlin walks up, surprised to see Kanji still standing there.]

[conflictedrebel]

[Not really expecting to hear that, he jumps slightly. His face reddens some as he gulps. And with that he pulls the door open.] N-Nothin'! No--No reason!

[tiercelet]

[Curious as he is, Merlin knows this isn't the time to ask--maybe once the Pichu is delivered safely into Nurse Joy's care.]

Let's hurry, then. [He claps a hand to Kanji's shoulder before they step in.] It'll be all right.

[conflictedrebel]

[He frowns some. Gotta stay positive, gotta keep your head on. hhhhh]

Y-Yeah.

[tiercelet]

[One last pat to the shoulder before Merlin leads the way over to the Nurse and quickly explains what happened.]

We should wait here, in case Nurse Joy needs to talk to you.

[conflictedrebel]

[he nods.] Yeah... Sounds good.
