((OOC: you know the drill; add/remove tags and create new/delete tags is set to all users. Feel free to add your own character tags after you tag or just add something derpy for kicks. Also, I know he's actually been in Johto for about a month so I have no idea what he was doing in New Bark all that time before he left...))

Sheldon?
Maybe that explains it.
If you named ME Sheldon, I'd probably dislike you too.
[She says it with her usual joking air.]
Anyway, better that than if he liked you TOO much. I had a hell of a time keeping mine AWAY from me at first.
... But yeah no, uh, they can't talk. Except for a few.
[Heather was fortunate enough to be in the possession of one of the few Pokemon capable of learning human speech, and she of course took advantage of this rare opportunity for human-Pokemon communication by teaching it words like "DICKBUTT".]

Hey, Sheldon's not such a bad name. He's got a shell, so I figured... Sheldon... get it? [it's not funny Douglas, give it up]
Good point though. Guess this is better than if he was jumpin' all over me all the time. Maybe he's just shy.
[and then he gives her a grin]
How've you been, Heather? Givin' this place hell as usual?
Reply
Riiiight. Because puns make the best names. NOT.
[She's still smiling, though. He wouldn't be Douglas if he didn't give his starter a totally lame name.]
But yeah, y'know, same old, same old... though I guess it's not 'same old' for you. Given how long I've been here in comparison...
Man, I'm gonna need to just... fill you in at some point. Y'know, on everything that's happened. I got some PRE-TTY crazy stories.
Reply
Guess I coulda chosen a better name but... it seemed like a good idea at the time. And it's already stuck.
[he smiles]
I always love your crazy stories. We need to see each other at some point and just catch up. Not really sure how to find ya in this huge place, though. It's bigger than I thought.
Reply
[She rubs her chin.]
Yeah, it seemed that way to me at first too. ... Well, who'm I kidding, still does, really. But it's smaller than you'd think. You'll catch up at some point.
... But in the meantime, might be better to bunker down in a town somewhere.
'Cause if it's anything like last year, the weather's about to get real bad.
Reply
I hope so. This place is... seems like it'd be pretty easy to get lost. I've been tryin' not to stray off the paths too much 'cause... ya know... it's like suicide for somebody who's not used to this place. [he shakes his head]
[and then a frown]
How bad are we talkin'?
Reply
Oh yeah... it's easy to get lost in...
[She knows this from experience. It had not been fun... especially since the only things she'd had with her were a broken PokeGear, a wounded Growlithe, and the clothes on her back. And it had been starting to get cold...]
Anyway, pretty damn bad.
I think last year we had... like, six, seven feet of snow where it piled up? For a whole week there was this huge blizzard, and the power went completely out at the hotel I was staying in...
It's like. The kind of weather that kills hobos.
You do NOT wanna be caught out in that once winter really sets in.
Reply
That sounds... wow, it sounds pretty awful.
Maybe I can find someplace to hole up before it gets really bad. I haven't passed any cities for a while.
Reply
... Where are you, anyway?
[She sounds a little worried. She knows his health isn't the greatest, and the terrain could be treacherous...]
Reply
[he notices the worry and gives her a reassuring smile]
Don't worry about me, kiddo. I've dealt with bad weather before. Hasn't done me in yet.
Reply
Just try and get to the next town as fast as possible, okay?
Reply
I've been campin' before, if that counts.
Don't worry kiddo, I'll get someplace safe as fast as I can.

[He's been here awhile now-- he's undoubtedly seen how eager the wildlife is to go after anyone traveling alone.]
[She pauses for a moment, tapping her chin thoughtfully.]
... Hm...
Have you caught any of the wild Pokemon yet?
Reply
Well, sorta. There's this weird bat thing and was swarmin' me in that cave so I sorta just... caught it in one of those ball things to keep it from bitin' my face, but it hates me just as much as Sheldon does.
((OOC: "those ball things".. apparently Douglas will never be Pokemon-literate))
Reply
Yeah, I know those things.
[Heather had never actually spent much time in the caves of Johto, but everybody knew the legendary irritation that was Zubats.]
I think they just hate everybody.
