[Action for Cherrygrove City]

[For the past several days now, you may have seen Athrun out and about more. He's grown restless here in Cherrygrove City. He wants to see Rise again, Maria's party is in a week, and he wants to get back on the road to collecting badges now that he can almost taste victory at the Pokémon League

[Dammit, Sheryl, he told you to call him if things went wrong.]

That's good to hear. Have you made it to Violet City yet?

( text )

[northerncrosses]

[ it's not an emergency yet ok. ]

i'm almost there. i'm just taking my time getting there.

[shieldofjustice]

[Yeah. Try telling that to the guy who got marooned on a deserted island.]

I guess because you're not used to traveling like this?

[Sheryl's response is leaving him slightly bothered, though.]

[northerncrosses]

[ it's not that bad. ]

yup. i always travel by car or plane so walking is kind of inconvenient for me.

[shieldofjustice]

[Yet.]

At least it's good exercise, right? How's your supply situation?

[northerncrosses]

[ gdit athrun stop asking these questiooooons. ]

my supply should still hold up until i get to violet in a couple of days.

don't worry, okay? i'm just fine. really.

[shieldofjustice]

[He's just concerned about you!]

All right. I'm just sorry that we won't be in Violet as soon as you will. Midori left to pick someone up, and Lacus wants to wait for her to get back.

[northerncrosses]

[ sob. at least they didn't beat her to violet yet /)_= ]

it's fine, it's fine. you guys just take your time.

but didn't you say you wanted to get to violet asap too? then again, you do say that lacus wanted to wait a bit longer.

[shieldofjustice]

[If that had happened, he would have gone out looking for her.]

That's right. I want to get there soon, but Lacus wants to wait for Midori. And since I promised to escort her, I'm waiting with her.

[northerncrosses]

[ she should hurry up then and get to violet :| ]

see? i knew i was right about that.

( text )

[shieldofjustice]

No, something else happened. Midori went back to New Bark Town without telling anybody to pick someone up.

( text )

[northerncrosses]

no, it's not that.

it's the fact that you'll never leave cherrygrove without lacus since you did mention that you'll escort her.

( text )

[shieldofjustice]

For better or for worse, I'm a man of my word. And Lacus is a close friend.

( text )

[northerncrosses]

that's why i told lacus that asking you to fly me to violet wasn't going to work.

[shieldofjustice]

Oh, it would have worked, but it would have been tiring for my Pokémon.
