[Backdated a little: 5/19, 7 PM.]

...We just hit Cherrygrove. Dunno if we're sleeping here or back on the trail, but hey, we'll figure something out.

Don't give me that look, Light, I'm gonna make it. I promise, okay?

[Action, for PASCAL or ANYONE IN THE CHERRYGROVE POKEMON CENTER FOR ANY REASON.]

[Snow's sinking down on one of the Pokemon

[Arriving to Cherrygrove late is one Sisuca! She's holding her Azurill in her arms, and she's stopped resisting it. For now. Sisuca just loves her little one. ♥]

Oh! This is a Pokémon Center! Isn't it cool, Flow~♪?

[She's just going to cheerfully inspect everything before making her way over to the counter. That includes hobos sitting on the couch.]

Good evening!

[savethefarron]

[Snow's glancing over his shoulder at the person at the counter, offering a grin.] Hey, right back atcha. [Shifting one leg up onto the couch so he's facing sideways and can actually have a conversation.]

You just get here too?

[saltwaterwounds]

[Polite smiles all around~. Sisuca sets her partner down, though Flow just clings to her leg.]

Yes, I did! My feet are a little sore, but it was fun. What about you? Did you just get here?

[savethefarron]

For the second time, but yeah.

Or I guess the seventh time, if we're counting all of the trips I made the first time around. But... yeah, we pretty much just rolled into town tonight.

[Sir Munchalot spots the newcomer and toddles over quickly to peeeeeer at Flow. She reaches out a single paw to poke Flow gently?]

[saltwaterwounds]

Oh, wow! So you know the area really well, then? Could you give me some tips if you're not too tired?

[Flow is immediately terrified and bounces to hide behind Sisuca's leg.]

[savethefarron]

[A grin now, and he's sitting up.] A hero's never too tired to lend a hand.

[But where to start?]

First, it's a heck of a lot easier if you find a Pokemon big enough to carry you. Cuts the time down by a third, even more sometimes.

Oh, and don't hop down any of the ledges. You'll have to go the long way to climb back up--those things are steep.

Also, near the end of the next stretch there are these ghost ones called Gastlies, and they like to mess with people's heads, so be careful.

[saltwaterwounds]

Oh, you're a hero? My son's a hero, too!

[She hums innocently, though, as she writes all of that down in her Breeder Notepad of Destiny.]

Are the Gastlies strong?

[savethefarron]

No kidding? [Snow looks really pleased that a) she approves of/appreciates heroes and him being one, and b) she's already got a hero of her own. Most people have neither A nor B, so this is refreshing.] You'll have to introduce us. He around here?

[And after she's done writing, when she asks about Gastlies.]

What've you got-...? [Glancing down, eyeing Flow.] A water one? I think you'll do fine. Just plain physical stuff though, like tackle and all that, just goes right through 'em. You have to use water or electricity or something like that. Just don't fall for their tricks, and you'll ace it for sure!

[saltwaterwounds]

Oh, he's not. He's back home, I hope. My precious little one has a lot of work to do now.

[She picks Flow up and holds her again. She's shaking pretty badly, though. Maybe it's Snow? ...or it's Sisuca.] Oh, Flow is a normal-type, according to that machine. She knows how to splash and make bubbles, though!

[savethefarron]

Huh. Usually blue ones have some kind of water going on...

You made any friends yet? That's also pretty important, just in case you get in a fix and need someone to help you out.

[saltwaterwounds]

Oh, I should write that down, too. I'll keep that in mind when battling, thank you.

Not really! Mama just has Flow right now.

[savethefarron]

Well hey, we're both heading the same way. I'll keep an eye out for you on the trail, in case you get in a fix.

[saltwaterwounds]

That's so sweet of you! I'll let you know, though, that Mama is an experienced traveler herself. It's going to be fun.

[savethefarron]

Oh, I believe that. From what I've heard, moms are preeetty tough.

[saltwaterwounds]

From what you've heard? What about your own mother?

[savethefarron]

Never met her. Well, I guess I did since she kinda had me, but I don't remember her.
