003:// [Violet City] -Video

[lightningninja]

[There's a shivering Jack in the Violet city Pokecenter, trying to warm up his hands. His hair is damp, as are his clothes, and he looks pretty irritated. A woman comes over (she looks suspiciously like the nurse in Cherrygrove, what gives?) and hands him a blanket and a warm cup of what looks to be hot chocolate. "You and your Pokemon will be fine

................Major Raikov?

[Of all the people he expected he might recognize here, it sure wasn't Raikov.]

[lightningninja]

S-Snake?

[Well, damn. Why didn't he contact him before?]

Who the h-hell is "Raikov"?

[sneaking_sin]

[Odd. Maybe the cold snapped his brain. ...That could be a good thing, if it means he's forgotten that Big Boss killed his boyfriend...]

You are.

How long have you been here?

[lightningninja]

...No I'm n-not. I'm J-Jack, remember?

[He shrugs.]

I don't know... c-couple of weeks, maybe? What about y-you?

Doing anything involving water in this weather is a mistake.

[Arthur sits down beside him in the Pokémon Center chair, and his vulpix hops into his lap.]

My Ygraine is a fire-type. I could try to have her dry you up a bit?

[action]

[lightningninja]

Y-Yeah, you're telling me.

[He looks the Vulpix over curiously.]

When y-you say fire type... you don't mean s-she'll set me on f-fire, right?

[Karp seems pleased to meet a new Pokemon, wriggling over to get a closer look.]

[Action]

[roundtablemngr]

There's only one way to find out. Ygraine, will-o-wisp!

[The vulpix sits up and opens her mouth, conjuring a very hot, bluish flame to hover in the air.]

[Action]

[lightningninja]

[He winces, half expecting it to burn. It's hot, but it soon dries him off.]

...Well, see? That's useful! Though I guess maybe the splashing would be useful on a hot day... but still.

[At least he isn't shivering anymore.]

I've got a fire type...

He's uncomfortably warm and he hogs the bed.

[video]

[lightningninja]

Any k-kind of warm would be appreciated, right n-now. But at least K-Karp is too small to hog anything.

[Oh, how that will change.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

I can see that...

Jeez, you'd think the nurses'd get a clue and start keeping fire Pokemon around just for the sole purpose of warming people up...

[But then again, pfft, they're nurses. Nurses were dumb. Especially the ones in Violet City, which Heather unfortunately does not have a happy relationship with.]

I always thought those Magikarp were freaky, personally. Yours seems friendly, at least. [Hers had just... stared and mouthed silently. Which was incredibly unnerving when it was doing it all the way across the room at you while you were trying to sleep.]

[video]

[lightningninja]

T-That would be nice, yeah.

[Jack doesn't feel anything towards them either way. The ones in Cherrygrove weren't all that helpful, though.]

They are freaky. T-This one chased me from one t-town to another and waited for me outside the P-Pokemon Center I was hiding in. I had just got here, I didn't know w-why a talking fish was f-following me!

NOT r29 canon and just for fun :V

[knivesandblood]

[Walks up behind Jack, peering into the camera over his shoulder.]

There's a giant fish on your lap.
