Thirteenth Flower
[Video]
[The feed starts up with an image of Asuma smiling as he holds up a certain badge]
--I thought I might as well earn this since I would be in the area. It should make traveling much more convenient.
Is anyone else in Violet City? Vilof, I didn't see you on the road, so you must still be around, correct? And Misaki, did you make it out of Cherry Grove by any chance?

[And since he was close to the entrance anyway, it's a simple matter for him to step out and look around expectantly for this new fellow!]
video -> action
[Rin took those few steps outside of the Mart and towards the Gym, looking about the area expectantly for the face he saw in the gear. Perched on his shoulder was a pidgey who eyed Asuma carefully before settling itself more comfortably against Rin's neck. Trotting beside Rin was a Poochyena. A very disgruntled Poochyena.]
action
And so we meet in person! I am Asuma. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir...?
[He'll even extend a hand for a handshake.]
action
[He firmly shakes Asuma's hand. Almost immediately afterward he pulls out his pokedex to identify Asuma's team.]
...Is that a walking flower?
action
[The Bellossom notices the attention and gives a shy curtsy in greeting.]
Bella~!
action
It's nice to meet you too, Bellossom~. You too, Asuma. [Pidgey cooed while Poochy eyed the other pokemon with distrust. Rin doesn't mind either of his pokemon and turns to face the Violet City gym.]
What's Falkner's deal? He goes on about his father's precious pokemon and then he just lets them out to fight!
action
[She moves closer to the Mareep, half-hiding behind its leg. The Mareep nudges her comfortingly with her head.]
Forgive her. Reika is a bit shy, so she tends to stay close to Sheep-san there.
As for Falkner, it seems his father is an important figure in his life. Although I am not sure why he of all people chooses to keep them in their Pokéballs except during battle...
action
It's okay. I bet there's still a lot she feel confident about. Not like Poochy here. [He puts a hand on Poochy's head which earns him a long low growl. He stands back up.]
She still doesn't like me. At all. I don't get it though. I haven't mistreated her.
...That's a good point. I'd let them hang around me all the time, if I had my father's pokemon -- if we had pokemon where I lived -- not that we don't have creatures that aren't anything like poke -- [He tries hard to dig himself out of this hole he's made for himself...]
-- N-Nevermind.
action
What are the creatures in your world like, if you don't mind me asking? I have yet to come across any natural animal with the intelligence and power that the Pokémon here have.
action
[He's sorry (and he mutters an apology at the end of his sentence). B-But he only wanted to mention his father! Not the other stuff. He's starting to enjoy life without the other stuff.]
J-Just know that my dad had something like cat sith pokemon and it belongs to me now and I take very good care of him. ...His name's Blackie.
action
[He'll drop it, then.]
So you're having trouble with this one?
[He crouches down to the Poochyena's level, holding out his hand to it. He keeps his hand open and nonthreatening, as though asking Poochy for permission to come nearer.]
action
Yeah. ...She doesn't seem to like me much. But I don't have a single problem with my other pals.
[Poochy side-glances Asuma but otherwise doesn't make a negative motion. She even steps a little closer to him.]
Careful... She might bite you too.
action
[He attempts to pet her lightly on the head, but he'll stop immediately if she seems uncomfortable or otherwise agitated.]
action
I've never seen her do that before...
action
[He lets his hand drop when she moves back, but he doesn't look particularly miffed. Instead, he looks to Rin again.]
Interesting... Pokémon all have such different personalities, it's hard to know how one in particular will react.
action
I hope she's not afraid of you... They act like people sometimes. Do you think she dislikes me that much?
action
How long have you had her? Was she always like that?
action
[Poochy silently agrees but otherwise has become all but invisible.]
She's been like that since I met her... she was less friendly before.
action
[He sounds sincere as he addresses the now hiding Poochyena.]
Less friendly? So she's gotten a little better since?
action
[Rin appreciates how delicately Asuma's treating the situation with Poochy.]
You're a really good guy up close!
action
[His response to the second part is a bit teasing.]
I'm sorry, did I not come off that way from the start?
action fdsaf sorry for the lateness ;;
[Oh he knows teasing when he hears it.]
Don't get me wrong -- it's just, you know -- it's not everyday you get to meet someone you speak to on the phone!
action It's cool ♥
