Could you be more specific?

[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

[ooc: Aaaand mingle post! Go ahead and comment/tag around!]

Comments

[rivalheroics]

Heh, thanks. [Tossing that pokeball out now, and out comes a Mime Jr. He'd use his other Pokemon but...they're kind of huge and probably overkill, he'll resort to them if this way doesn't work out. The Emolga immediately launches a spark of electricity at the Pokemon. Luckily, it's not enough to paralyze it that time but Mime does stumble back a little from the sudden jolt of electricity.]

Use Confusion! [The Pokemon does a little wavy motion with it's arms as a glow forms around the Emolga, and it starts stumbling around a little from the psychic headache it's undoubtedly getting. Probably not helping it since it just woke up. ^^;;]

[tomboygirl]

[Mime Jr. is really cute! Not something she would've expected a cool looking guy like Jun to have, but then again... Barry had a Munchlax. So.

Fuzzbi waits in the wings for any way to help! Even if it's just Gust to keep the Emolga from wandering off in confusion.]

[rivalheroics]

[Your help is very appreciated, Fuzzbi. Gust will certainly help keep the Emolga from stumbling off. Since it doesn't look like escape is possible, it then strikes back against Mime Jr. with a Quick Attack. Jun is sure to follow up with another round of confusion, so that when it tries to attack again, the next time it ends up hurting itself in confusion instead. The battle continues in this sort of fashion, the Emolga trying to attack and Jun having Mime Jr. try to keep it confused long enough to weaken it.

Eventually the battle comes to a head when (after Mime Jr. was unfortunately paralyzed by static at one point), he manages to score in a Double-Slap that has it reeling--]

Alright, let's do this! [POKEBALL GO!! The pokeball gets tossed at the Pokemon, where it disappears inside with a red glow. One shake...two shakes...three shakes...





...Ding! Jun caught Emolga?]

[tomboygirl]

[Dawn wouldn't know; she's leaning on a tree, sleeping.

Zzzz.

Fuzzbi, who'd been so into helping, now pushes her over so she'll jerk awake.]

-- Gust! [An awkward pause as she realizes that, uh, yeah.] Oh. You caught it? Congratulations, I thought you'd be able to...

[Yawn!]

[rivalheroics]

[...You fell asleep during the battle? Gosh you really are more tired than we thought.]

Yeah, thanks! [Mime Jr. is doing a little copycat motion of mimicking Dawn's yawning, which causes him to roll his eyes before turning back to her.] You feeling any better?

[tomboygirl]

[The moment she stepped into the library, she was prepared not to sleep. Chesto Berries work even for humans.]

Now that that's done. [Since she can rest. Don't mind if she just sits at the base of the tree she was sleeping on, okay. Come here Mime Jr. She wants to pat your head. Silly little guy. Fuzzbi'll sit on Jun's head again.] Are you going to nickname it, Mr. Originality? It could be your first.

[rivalheroics]

[Mime Jr. loves headpats, so of course he'll go hang out with Dawn. Jun laughs a little at the suggestion and the weight of Fuzzbi sitting on our head again.]

I guess that could be fun, though I gotta say, I've never come up with a nickname before... [What would he even nickname it as...]

[tomboygirl]

It's easy. I mean... When I started out with Wigbi, I was thinking of something to name him that'd be easy to remember. The -bi kind of stuck because it was-- well, it was cute. [Barrbi would've been a cute nickname for her best friend... if he deserved it.

... Junbi is too embarrassing to say though. Not going to nickname people ever.] Just same it whatever you think's nice sounding! Or not at all. Your Pokémon seem pretty close to you even without it.

[rivalheroics]

Hm...I'll give it some thought--if I do decide to nickname it, I want to make sure that it's a good one!

[Maybe later once Emolga's been healed up he'll let it out and see what comes to mind?]

[tomboygirl]

[That'd be a good idea. After all, if she'd known what trouble her own Buneary would be despite its nature she wouldn't have called it something as cute as Bunbi.]

That's right, there's no rush to it. But now that thaaat's over. [She stretches!] I'm ready to catch more Pokémon! It's like I have a second wind!

[Dawn, you should probably sleep.]

[rivalheroics]

[Are you sure you don't need more sleep? Then again, maybe that really would just make it harder for her to sleep later that night. So for now, he just grins.]

Oh yeah? What kinda Pokemon do you wanna catch next?

[tomboygirl]

I don't know... [Hmm. Still not gonna stand though.] Usually, I'd go to Solaceon and see what the newspaper wanted me to bring them that day, but we don't have that here. They've asked me for Pokémon I couldn't find before, so maybe I'll look for them here. Like Skunky and Murkrow. It'd be nice if I could take them home once the experiments are done with. I like Fuzzbi a lot.

[But she'll be honest with herself, she finds Jun good company and wouldn't mind even practicing her aim on sneaky Ekans and quick Pidgey.]

[rivalheroics]

Oh, yeah... [He hadn't even thought bout the possibility that he wouldn't be able to bring any of the Pokemon he caught here back with him.] Well I hope we can--it's the least they could let us do after having to take part in these experiments of theirs, right?

[tomboygirl]

Right! I mean... I wonder if these guys were born here, or if they were brought in from their home regions, and if they've ever even seen people before we were signed up. [She pauses, glancing at Fuzzbi.] That's pretty weird to think about. What would they even do once we left? Release them?

[rivalheroics]

...Good question. [Looking at Fuzzbi too.] Maybe they release them, maybe they just put them back where they got them...or maybe that's the Pokemon's choice for whatever they want to do? Then whoever wants to stay with us can come back to our regions too and the others can go wherever they want.

[Or at least he kind of hopes that's the case.]

[tomboygirl]

[Fuzzbi nuzzles Jun, then goes to rest on Dawn's head instead. Hey Trainer. She smiles, reach up to pet the bat.]

Well, I guess it doesn't matter right now. We don't even know when we're going to be able to leave. And it'd be bad to try and blast open a hole on our own, right?

[Not like you tried it or anything, Jun. B(]

[rivalheroics]

Heh, yeah, that doesn't really work out too well...

[He would know, he actually tried that when he first got here.]

So what? We just continue to make the best of it for now?
