17th roar [ video + action for cianwood ]

[usedroar]

Another one of those weekends.

[ Leon doesn't sound entirely unhappy, mostly just...tired. Resigned. Beside him is Skarmory, looking distracted, but certainly more chipper than her trainer. ]Don't know how we got to Cianwood, but I decided it'd be best not to let it go to waste. The gym here uses Fighting-type pokémon, so Skarmory didn't have any

I managed to fly on Tellah for a few minutes earlier. You've no need to worry about Skarmory.

[Leon can note, however, that Cecil is currently not on his Delibird, but on his Dragonite. Hmm.]

[usedroar]

On Tellah-- but isn't Tellah--

[ Leon holds up two flat hands horizontally to indicate Tellah's relative size to Cecil. ]

Yes. I would have also tried Mist to be certain, but as she was racing Kayne at the time it seemed to be a bad idea.

[usedroar]

'Mist'...? 'Kayne'?

[ Herp derp sorry Cecil he doesn't know your pokemon's names. ]

My Swablu and my Dragonite, respectively.

[...Yes, he was going to try and ride the Swablu.]

[usedroar]

...why would you...do that, exactly?

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

To see what are the HM's powers and limits. After all, why would a Dragonite be unable to fly with a rider without it? And how does it give that kind of strength to something as small as a Delibird?

[usedroar]

[ A nod. But-- ] Didn't your pokemon...

[ Object? At all? To being sat on? ]

[puppet_paladin]

He seemed quite comfortable and happy to help, to my great surprise.

[video]

[usedroar]

I...well. Guess there's nothing else to say then, is there?

[puppet_paladin]

...Other than that being in the air on such a small bird is rather terrifying. He might have been strong enough, but I still felt as though any small gust of wind would push me off.

[video]

[usedroar]

...I'll take your word for it, Cecil.

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

I doubt you'd have that problem with a Skarmory, at least.

[video]

[usedroar]

I hope not. Do you know how long it takes to get to Olivine from here?

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Four or five days, perhaps? How fast can a Skarmory fly?

[video]

[usedroar]

Pretty fast, but not with me on board. [ He looks out at the water, as if weighing his options. ] It might be less problematic to take the ferry.
