[as with any other resident of Johto, Sora is drawn out of sleep by that giant flash of light and what sounded almost like the earth cracking open-- all things considered? this is entirely possible. so he clambers out of bed-- Bell is the only one of his Pokémon who sleeps out of the ball, so he grabs her along with his 'gear, too. not that he notices his other Pokémon are mysteriously missing-- and practically stumbles out of the inn in Violet to check out what the heck just happened.]

[except he's not in Violet. he's in Goldenrod.]

What the--

[so Sora's now standing in the middle of the street, barefoot and in his pajamas-- they're blue with little Totodiles. don't judge-- and holding one little Togepi in his arms. looks like it's just the two of them for now.]

[after a few minutes of stunned silence, Sora finally thinks to turn on the video feed.]

Hey! Is everybody okay?

"Again"?

[Nah, he just gets a 'fro.]

Whenever Bell uses Metronome, she does something different! Last time she used Thunder.

[that sounds sort of like Sora's hair after Ven's done ruffling it.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty incredible!

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Wanna see it again?

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Sure!

1/2

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[he takes Bell from Sora and plops her down on the ground... wisely pointing her away from the both of them. though to be honest, Sora's expecting her to use Rest and put herself to sleep again.]

Ready, Bell? Use Metronome!

Togepriiii~ [waggin' her tiny little hand again, and...]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[she opens up her mouth and lets loose a Hyper Beam that takes out a chunk of a nearby building.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

[Dot dot freaking dot.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Should we run?

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

....maybe.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

After you.

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

R-Right, let's go.

[Where are they even going.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[preferably somewhere that doesn't suspect adorable little Togepis of building demolition-- to the inn! Sora scoops Bell up and takes off running.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

[And heading that way as well! He's hoping littler him doesn't get into any trouble :(]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[nah, he'll be all right! worse comes to worst, he can just say... Bell sneezed or something.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

[If that's her sneeze damage, one would hope she's not allergic to anything.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[shhhh it's the only excuse he's got! Sora will just be fishing through his pajama pockets for some money to stay a night at the inn-- Bell is still flapping her arms happily at that particularly powerful Metronome of hers.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

...she's not going to do it again, will she?

[That arm flapping is making him nervous!]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

If she does, she's going to be in big trouble.

[Sora's... not very good at being stern at all, but it does get Bell to stop waving her arms and shoot her trainer a baffled look.]

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure we'd all be in big trouble.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like Goldenrod still standing!

[travelbycandy.livejournal.com]

So this place is Goldenrod, huh? I never made it this far when I was here.
