Ninth Shell || Video/Action for Goldenrod

[pluckycharm]

[ while most people are sane staying out of this weather, there's a figure in a pink raincoat perched on the back of a Tropius and just watching the ocean surge from her side of the fence near the tower. She appears to be lost in thought as she tips her head up to look at the clouds-- and quickly looks back down because agh TOO MUCH WATER. ]It

[Guh, trainer! The rain sucks, stop training out here! Fire types are weak to it. Rarrgh.

Kairi might notice Riku being chewed out by Flare as he approaches her and her banana beast. However, despite Flare's roars and snorts, Riku doesn't seem too phased. And, like Kairi, he's wearing a rain coat.]

You know, maybe we should leave town before the weather gets too bad.

[Yes, he means Azalea.]

[pluckycharm]

[ aaaah Flare, your tail D: Destiny's nice enough to lower herself so Kairi can jump off, instead of calling down to him. ]

It looks like it might hit tonight, though. I don't know if we'll want to be on the road then.

[ Kairi's still uneasy about that tower, but staying here and staring at it isn't going to help. She's ready to leave when her friends are. ]

action

[islandshore]

Well, at least the Ilex Forest has a lot of trees. The rain probably won't hit as hard there.

[Still, traveling during a storm? Come on. At this point, Flare's tail is flicking around, and he still looks rather miffed here.]

action

[pluckycharm]

I don't know, Riku... shouldn't we wait until the storm blows over, just in case? [ she calls back Destiny, shifting the heavier Quilava in her coat. They can probably discuss this inside before Flare gets even more unhappy. ]

[islandshore]

[Sigh. If he didn't have his hood up, now would be the time where he'd brush back some of his hair.]

I guess it would be safer. Guess I'm just anxious because I'd like to keep going, but you guys still need your badges.

[But that also means going to Violet. His most hated place in Johto.]

action

[pluckycharm]

... Sorry. I've been training a lot so it shouldn't take too long.

[ have a very earnest and apologetic look, biffle. And then they got to Olivine and his FAVORITE MUSIC EVER made a comeback. ]

action

[islandshore]

It's not your fault, Kairi. I don't mind heading back for you and Sora, just... promise me we won't stay in Violet for more than a day.

[There's only so much of that same tune he can take.]

action

[pluckycharm]

I promise. We'll be done and back in no time.

action

[islandshore]

Good. Maybe then we can start moving forward.

[Since he's already got a Scyther egg, he doesn't even need to stick around for the bug catching contest!]

action

[pluckycharm]

Did you ever go past Goldenrod, Riku?

action

[islandshore]

I made it to Mt. Mortar, but I'm still not sure how I got there. To tell you the truth, I made it to Ecruteak before Goldenrod.

action

[pluckycharm]

Really? So we might be holding you back for a little more...

action

[islandshore]

I'll deal. Once we take care of Violet City, we can pass right through to Ecruteak. I didn't stick around for that long.

action

[pluckycharm]

Is that the place with that burned down tower? V-- [ ... and it occurs to her that saying Vanitas told her is probably not a good idea. ] I heard there's a legend behind it.

action

[islandshore]

Hmm...

[He crosses his arms, thinking about what Kairi said.]

Probably. Like I said, I didn't stay long enough to find out.

action

[pluckycharm]

It sounded really interesting... I bet Ecruteak would be a lot of fun.
