11 Water Whips .//. You've got to stay positive! (Action/Video: Ecruteak)

[usedwaterpulse]

(ooc: Both the Mahogany and Ecruteak badges were mod approved!)

[The feed opens on Katara pinning a badge in place beside two others, looking pretty pleased with herself and her team.] Alright, maybe that was a little too easy... but still, this makes three of the eight now! After we take on the Goldenrod gym we'll be able to go get Alphonse.

[Winry's checking the gear for new updates from everyone when she sees this post. Right, they could go get Al soon-ish, but they'd see Goldenrod before that.

She won't reply with a video, instead she walks to the Pokemon Center and cheers up on the way. Everything's still weird without Ed here... Okay, get something else to think about! Aurum's on her shoulder.]

You can talk to me anytime and for many minutes~. What's up?

[Winry, always being sweet-- it makes Katara feel better and guilty at the same time. She's moping for herself and Winry is actually the one who should be the most upset. She's known Ed since they were kids, and she...]

Hey, Winry! Hey, Aurum. [She's all smiles by the time Winry's gotten there. She starts towards the doors of the center-- ignoring the change in music --so she can check her Pokemon in to rest while they talk.] I just wanted to see when you might want to head out to Goldenrod. I know some people there right now that can let us through the crossing, so it shouldn't take any time at all.

[If Winry can stay positive, so can Katara-- surely. She doesn't want to bring Winry down.]

Hey, Katara.

[She's got to stay sweet and positive or else she'll start crying... and then she won't be able to stop because Ed's not here to stop it. Besides it would make her feel guilty because she wasn't here for as long as Katara before Ed went home, and Katara's seen Ed here more and... She can always try to be like this is a situation from home: Ed and Al gone to get their bodies back and Winry left behind to wa-- well, except Al's still here but anyway! It's normal situation that Ed's gone somewhere, but otherwise this is all abnormal.]

[She walks in too, the new music gets a smile from her. PCs! And Nurse's adorable pokemon~. Yup, Winry loves pokemon centers.

Oh, right. Most people actually tend to ask opinions from others. Winry's not quite used to it yet.]

Oh. That's great! Well... We can go as soon as your pokemon are ready to go? I don't think anything's holding us here and I'm curious to see Goldenrod, so I'm ready when you are.

They should only need an hour or two. I figure that gives us time to grab some supplies before we go. I'm kind of excited. Once I get the badge from Goldenrod I should be able to travel a lot faster with Charizard or Claus. That means I'll be able to come visit you guys pretty much whenever we want. [She smiles hopefully, because she definitely likes Winry and enjoys spending time with her. For a while splitting up seemed like a good idea, but lately she's not sure. She and Aang have always had at least Sokka around so traveling with just two would be weird, and Winry and even Al are friends too.

[Action] >.< sorry for vanishing!

That was so cool! It'll be a pretty long time before my Pokemon get to that level.

[Action] Life happens!

[usedwaterpulse]

[Modest smile, but she's pretty proud of her team. Too bad Ed and Toph couldn't have seen it too.]

Thanks, Aang. I can help you with training if you want? It could be just like old times.

[Action] Thanks!

[used_aerial_ace]

[Aang gives Katara a wide grin.] That'd be really great.

You're coming to Goldenrod City?

That's right. It just makes sense to take that gym next since we're so close. It'll make traveling much faster. [She grins.] Plus the shopping there won't hurt. You're in Goldenrod, Estell?
