EXTREMEEEE

[givespoisonoak]

[Are you guys ready for some EXTREME SPORTS?

So Green is still pretty convinced that this is all either some weird dream or some terribly off-color joke someone's pulling, but he'll enjoy the facilities for a bit before bailing out of here in style. The biomes are pretty nifty and they deserve him checking them out a bit, so today he's chosen the Rocky Mountains and will scale the cliffs like a true champ. Eevee (and the cutest Eevee at that) is curled around his neck and shoulder as they ascend.

Think you can keep up? Green seems to be climbing the rocky surfaces with ease, but he's always happy to have a challenger that he can grind into the dust.]

[Leaf's not good at scaling mountains -- so she has her Ivysaur to help her. One landing at a time, Saurette.

Even if they keep stopping to rest -- but it's during one of these she spots Green.]

Blue! [...Okay, so she knows him by a different name, give her a break -- she still waves to get his attention.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Who's calling who? Green stops in his climbing and looks around. He thought for sure he was the only one here...]

Who...Leaf?

[releaf]

Down here!

[It's such a tiring thing to shout. Her nervous nature can't take so much of it.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Hey now, no need to push herself. Green's already scaling back down the slopes; he can stake his claim up top later because he is a true gentleman and won't just leave her behind.]

When did you get here?

[releaf]

[Wow, much nicer than she remembers. She doesn't think she minds it...]

A few weeks ago, um... I think. Um, but it feels a lot longer than that. What about you?

[givespoisonoak]

[He's changed a little bit over the past few years; just try not to make a big deal out of it or else he'll try to brush it off.

He drops back down the slopes in front of her.] About the same for me, I think. Who knows how much time is really passing in here, you know?

[releaf]

[Duly noted.]

I wonder if it's passing back home, too. [It's an upsetting idea. She needs to keep getting the badges -- two isn't enough.] When we go back, will, uh... Will everyone be older?

[It sounds dumb when she says it outloud. Darn.]

[givespoisonoak]

[Dumb indeed but apparently not a dumb thing to ask when they're stuck in a place like this.] No clue. But hey, it might be kinda funny.

[Especially if that loser Red is ancient and old and wrinkly. That'll show him! Green's trying to find some upside to this.]

[releaf]

[But Mom...]

Professor Oak might've... [...by then...]
