seasaltkeys | Day 21 - video/action [Forward dated to the 25th]

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from,

. So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right?

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. ~~I didn't think that..~~. Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift.

I still don't get the pokemon egg thing.

...Did an egg show up for you to? Like, one you've never seen before?

[Sparky seems to wave him off. Just pet him and love him the next time you see him, Namine. Instant forgiveness. Roxas smiles a bit.]

That's what I thought to. Once the snow melts, I'll be able to have more use of it.

I wonder how far north. Maybe there's another region up there.

They didn't seem to mind.

I've not yet found a map that goes beyond Johto, strangely. For all we know there could be a thousand regions up north, but no one talks about them.

There is that, at least. Then again, they could all be too busy trying to reach the mistletoe to notice.

The other pokemon have to come from somewhere, right?

Maybe. But that might make them hard to decorate.

The question is, is there a way for us to reach that somewhere?

Decorating a moving tree sounds complicated in itself. I wonder if anyone tried to decorate the Sudowoodo?

[She already loves you, Sparky.]

Thanks for the plush toy.

Me either. All I know is girl pokemon and guy pokemon sometimes make an egg somehow.

Yeah, it doesn't register on my PokeDex either! The Togepi egg I got from Namine did, at least to tell me it was a Togepi. Nothing else came up, so I guess I just gotta wait for it to hatch.

I hope so. I'd like to see it.

Probably not. It's a long way out, and it's been really cold.

[nod]

I'm glad you like it. Sparky...picked it out.

We'll have to inquire about their tourism industry, then.

I suppose the risk of being attacked would also be a deterrant.

[pause, he's going to try that]

Mine doesn't register either. I wonder if it's from a different region or something like that?

Yeah. Although, I'll have to finish exploring this region first.

Maybe.

Once you reach Ecruteak, you'll have seen half of it. It will be over sooner than you think.

Even if there's still a whole other half?

Seeing the rest of Johto should only take a few months unless you take your time. Your Pokémon have already reached a high level, so you shouldn't have to spend weeks training them before a Gym battle. Soon, you'll have defeated all eight.

I'll probably need to be stronger though. I haven't been training that much lately.

And I want to see all of Johto.

Different region? You think there's more than just what the map we have says?

Sparky's a really smart pokemon, huh?

Were you working instead?

That's a good goal to have. Is there a place in particular you're looking forward to?

Edited 2010-12-28 06:34 (UTC)

Yeah, at the department store.

Not really. I just want to see all of it.

Yeah. He really is. They're almost like people, pokemon.

Well yeah. I mean, the snover had to come from somewhere, right? I think Professor Elm said they weren't native to Johto.

Is that so? The pay is certainly much better than it was in Violet, at least.

From Ecruteak, you can go east or west. Do you know which direction you'll take first?

[Nod]

I'm up on the fourth floor. It's alright.

I guess, wherever the next badge after Ecruteak is.
