Hey Light, how far're you? I mean... you hit Cherrygrove at least, right? 'Cause we're almost there, Rocky and I.

[There's a slightly triumphant roar thing behind him, and Snow laughs slightly, looking over his shoulder at the Onyx in the background before the camera shuts off.

ACTION-WISE: Anyone less than half a day into their journey to

[Ffffffffffffffffhahaha. That's effing genius, man.]

Isn't riding on that thing kind of uncomfortable? I mean... it's a string of boulders.

[savethefarron]

[He gives Rocky a firm pat on the side of the head to get the rock-snake's attention, then nods toward Sheena. Sooo Rocky's gonna be slowing down and kinda half-looping around so they can converse a little, lowering his head to let Snow down.]

Nah, it's not so bad. He tries not to hit the potholes?

[summonerbanshee]

[OH, POTHOLES. Yes, Sheena knows all about potholes. Gonna be rubbing at the back of her neck in that embarassed fashion of hers, kthx.]

Ahah. Heh. Well, that's always nice.

At least it saves you walking time, right? Plus there's the whole 'not having aching feet by the end of the day' bonus.

[savethefarron]

Yeah, exactly! Hell, I'd offer you a ride somewhere, but... Heh, I'm heading that way. [A slight nod toward the distant Cherrygrove, though not a super pronounced one, since she'd already seen him headed that way earlier.]

[focusdenied]

Yeah; just arrived yesterday. How soon is "almost"?

[savethefarron]

Three hours, tops. We can stay the night at the Center if you want to sleep in town, otherwise we'd be a few hours out by nightfall.

[focusdenied]

We've rested enough. We'll head out after you drop in -- assuming you don't need a break.

why are you offline =|

[savethefarron]

'Course not. Rocky's doing all the work, and he's still raring to go. As long as it doesn't rain again. [A glance up at the sunny sky, then a half-laugh.] Yeah, we'll be fine.

[thisdesertrose]

[He's... going to blink up at you. And... kind of just wave as he sees the rock snake pass by.]

[Action]

[savethefarron]

[What's all this about waving? Snow's gonna see him and stop Rocky to chat just a little.]

Hey!

[Action]

[thisdesertrose]

[Well, he's kinda shocked.]

Heading back to Cherrygrove?

[Action]

[savethefarron]

Yeah. My sister showed up a few days back... I'm meeting her halfway.

[foolishwren]

WHOA!

That's ... that is... is THAT Rocky?

... Oh my god, I want one.

[Consider Heather impressed. Also she's finally setting out from Cherrygrove so she'll probably run into him.]

[savethefarron]

[He chuckles, and you can hear the sound of palm on rock as he pats Rocky on the side of the head.]

Tell you what: If I let that Ash guy breed him, I'll make sure he throws one your way. But Rocky's mine. I've got big plans for this one.

[A pause, and he's looking up from the PokeDex. To confirm, he puts a hand up to shield the sun from his eyes. Then:] Hey, I think I see you up ahead.

[foolishwren]

Oh man, that would be awesome. [It kind of reminds her of something-- but while it's not a very pleasant memory, she can't deny that owning an awesome rock snake sounded pretty damn nice. ... And convenient. Goodbye walking everywhere!]

.... Oh? [She probably looks pretty goofy-- to take care of the Beedrill problem, she liberated a bunch of extra cleaning supplies. Like dumb-looking safety glasses. She pauses to take a look around, herself. Ffff bright sunlight, making it impossible to see...]

[savethefarron]

[And here comes Rocky, rollin' up besides you. Slithering? Inchworming, more like, but faster. Snow says something to Rocky that you can't hear from ground-level, but it's obviously some sort of 'stop here', because the Onyx does so and then proceeds to lower his head to rest in the grass so Snow can hop off.

He'll be casually flicking a PokeBall back toward Rocky. Not to catch the Onyx, but to release Machop. He'd been in his PokeBall a lot lately, so whenever Snow stopped to rest, he tried to let Machop stretch his legs. (Though Machop actually seems more concerned with stretching his shoulders and waist. Meh, who knows.)]

Hey there!
