[Hahaha... ha...
So... he's gathered a little. He's not at home anymore, he's got these monsters to fight for him (with no weapon to call his own), and he's not the only one.
But... brr! There was something big bothering him. That thing?]

Did she have to kick me into the cold?
[If he'd gotten warning, he'd probably have thrown on a coat or something - his jacket was sort-of warm, but his forearms were cold, and his fingers too! And his other clothes aren't that good - he got stuck with a jester set of clothes. But he had a reason for this broadcast, as he's looking cheerful, a Pidgey on his head. His Snivy is off-screen.]
So, I was checking the area around here - there's a boat out to another place, right? But there's also a path. Wonder which would be better for us?
[Us being his Pokemon and him, and his possible travel group. He is wondering about the cold a lot, too.] I mean, if this cold gets worse, the water might get frozen. That'd be no good. But if it's that cold, maybe we'd get turned to popsicles for the monsters out there! [He's not sounding serious - because he isn't.]
Also, if you're out there, guys? [as in kiros/ward/anybody else he knows] Sorry I'm late, guess we'll have to meet up somewhere along the way.

[Someone actually acknowledging the ferry? Man, that's rare, and it earns a snicker out of Riku. In the background, his Serperior slithers by, while a Pidgeot screeches and squawks at a passing Skarmory.]

Well, you could always flip a coin. Most people just take the path since it's free, but who says you need to follow the crowd?

Yeah, that usually happens around here. Especially if you've got friends sticking to Johto.

[He chuckles before turning his gaze towards his Serperior.]

As for Venus, she's a Serperior. The evolved form of Snivy and a pretty solid grass type.

islandshore: (Heh heh heh)
Yeah, Pokémon evolve if you train them hard enough. Usually takes at least a month worth of battles to get them to the final stage, sometimes more.

[Buuuut Venus, upon spotting the little Snivy, smirks and fires a Solarbeam off-camera. Then, she performs an Aqua Tail just because.

...Yeah, she gets a little showy sometimes. Go figure.]


...Don't mind her. It's not every day she gets this kind of attention.

Well, Solarbeam's not a move you'll be able to teach him on your own. Or buy, for that matter.

[...Which prompts a snicker outta Venus. Oh yeah.]

I got the TM last year around Christmas. Still, you could probably at least teach yours to use Energy Ball.

Yeah. Some moves you can only teach by talking to tutors or using TMs and HMs... They're like discs you break over your Pokémon's head.

[To demonstrate, he'll scoop out his reusable Solarbeam TM.]

Downside to TMs is that they're typically one-use only. Still, you can get a handful of them at the Goldenrod and Celadon department stores. They aren't required for a tough Pokémon, but they definitely help.

islandshore: (Right?)
Hey, no problem. I've been here long enough that I might as well put my knowledge to good use.

[He'll smirk in response. It's definitely strange to be tutoring folks older than him, but at this point he's used to it.]

And the name's Riku.

You guessed right. I'm going on my third year now.
