020; [action for Goldenrod/Route 34]

[if one is brave enough to venture outside in the cold and snow and ice and onto Route 34 today, he or she may notice a feral child just outside the entrance to Goldenrod-- Johto's very own Mowgli is sitting cross-legged off to the side, hunched over with his arms wrapped tightly around himself. surprisingly enough, snow is pretty chilly when one lacks a winter coat.]

[it's not out of not owning one, however; Sora's coat is actually laid out on the ground in front of him. no... wait, it's haphazardly draped across about the top third of a Dratini, who is curled up with his head resting on Trainer's lap. the coat isn't much, but it's all Sora's got.]

C'mon... We're maybe ten minutes away from the Center. You can do it! We've made it this far together, right?

[a pitiful whine from the Dratini. Sora's momentarily defeated expression is obscured by his hair, and by the fact that he's staring down at the ground. though it's probably equally pitiful, that defeat hardens into steel determination-- he and Pokémon hadn't trudged around out in who-knows-where for two weeks, and finally back onto the route to wind up freezing to death now.]

All right. [his voice is unsteady, but warm.] I think you've pulled more than your own weight lately... I'll keep going for the both of us. Okay? Hold still; I'll carry you.

[... how Sora intends to pick up and carry what is essentially a 6-foot giant worm is questionable, but dangit, he's going to try-- once he picks himself up and actually gets going, anyway. good thing Dratinis are on the light side for their length.]

Man...

You really are the journal, huh?

Got no other reason to claim I am.

-- Ah! I know! I'll call you J, then.

[there's a long pause as he processes this, and then he snorts]

If you say so. I'm only letting you call me that though.

Mm. All right.

[he pulls the blanket over his head, wearing it like a hood. still a little chilly over here.]

Have you been here long, J? What kinda Pokémon did you get?

Been about a week now, and I got one of these.

[shifts the view of the gear so his female Pikachu is visible. She's busily grooming her ears]

Oh, a Pikachu! Want to name her, too?

[video]

[identity profile] databinder.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Figure everyone should have a name, just...mulling it over.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Name her after someone, maybe?

[video]

[identity profile] databinder.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Most of the people I know seem to be here.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... Maybe you could name her something that reminds you of her personality!

[video]

[identity profile] databinder.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt she'd appreciate something like Chomper...

[identity profile] databinder.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

[Tugs a glove off so Sora can get a look at the bite-marks on his fingers. No, he hasn't discovered band-aids]

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
J! you need to put medicine on that!

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-08 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It'll keep those bites from getting infected.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... I guess so. But infected fingers probably hurt worse than infected data.

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[he has no idea what infected data feels like so he's just gonna roll with it.]

Right! So-- make sure you get some medicine and heal those bites up, okay?

[it's not awesome, Sora. it's really not awesome]

...I'll ask Euphemia about it.

[because it'll be a while before she gets him used to "Euphie" for...reasons]
