Second Meeting [Video/Action for Union Cave]

[sunshine_fruit]

[The video feed for today is brought on by Yumi's newest addition, Helga the Smoochum. She's learned lick, so she's drooling all over the Pokégear.]

Um! Um! Um! Smoochum!

[The close-up continues until there's a loud crashing sound. Smoochum stands up and looks over at Yumi, where there's a lot of dust being kicked up. The camera then turns over to

Usually is. [ Nevertheless, that? Pretty fucking awesome to watch. Minato had just had his hands in his pockets the whole time, studying her style- and there's certainly nothing to harp on there! ]

Good work, Yumi.

[sunshine_fruit]

Thanks. [She smiles at that, because really, she's working so hard on this whole gym badge thing.] I'd have been in trouble if he hadn't used a defensive move, though.

[ofmywill]

You'd have managed. But that was good thinking.

[ He steps over now the carnage is done, his own Gastly floating gently along behind him. ] So- what's its name?

[sunshine_fruit]

I was still kind of surprised to see such a large Pokémon. I was thinking it would be stronger, too.

[She looks down at the Pokéball in her hand, then shakes her head.] I don't know any good names for a rock or a snake...maybe I'll just go with Orochi.

[ofmywill]

Very classical.

[ And that just leaves-- MORE TRAINING!! ]

[sunshine_fruit]

Alright. So, what should we do next? I don't know how much stronger we'll get if we keep battling Zubat.

[ofmywill]

Maybe go deeper...? Or practice on birds outside.

[sunshine_fruit]

We came all this way, so we might as well see if there's anything else before we leave. I vote we keep going.

[ofmywill]

Couldn't hurt. [ Although. He digs in his pack for a second- then nods. ] Still got some Escape Rope.

[sunshine_fruit]

Hey, have you actually ever used that before? How does it even work?

[ofmywill]

...I dunno. You climb?

[sunshine_fruit]

Not really. Wait, you think we have to climb out of here?

[ofmywill]

Sure. It'd make sense.

[sunshine_fruit]

Wouldn't that put us on top of the cave, though, and not outside of it?

[She pulls out her own escape rope, curious about it.]

[ofmywill]

Guess so...then we rappel down the side?

[ This is making significantly less sense now! He frowns at the rope too- stop not having answers! ]

[sunshine_fruit]

Well...it doesn't matter for now. Let's just keep going further in. We can think about that later.
