Pokemon: Downtown

[idolpro]

This is where people come to play it seems. The Battle Arena, where you can challenge your friends, rivals, or anyone really, sits side-by-side the town's Pokemon Center where you can get your Pokemon healed for free after a rousing battle. You and your Pokemon partner (even your entire unit!) can star in short plays to be aired at the movie theater or even beauty pageants showcasing their new hair-cuts and clothes. There's a karaoke bar, a small theme park, an arcade.

...figures.

Hey, you. You really couldn't wait?

[The Blitzle looks up and canters a little, excited.]

[we_meet_again]

These kids have a lot of energy.

After this, maybe we should go turn them loose outside and let 'em wear themselves out a bit.

[justfuckingtryit]

I'm starting to think we should've done that first.

I'll just check the book out and we can get going.

[we_meet_again]

Sounds good.

Need any help looking? Maybe we can find something specifically about Blitzles.

[justfuckingtryit]

That would work. That, or Morse code.

[we_meet_again]

Good thinking.

Let's split up - I'll look for Blitzle info and you take morse code.

[justfuckingtryit]

Mm, all right. Meet back here in fifteen minutes.

[And, disappearing among the stacks.]

[justfuckingtryit]

[About when the fifteen minutes are up, the library fills with the sound of thunder. It is close, and getting closer.]

[we_meet_again]

[Peeks around a shelf, arms full of a couple books]

Did you hear that?

[justfuckingtryit]

Sounds like the weather turned.

[we_meet_again]

[He looks down at Deerling]

Ah. Might have to stay inside a little longer. Sorry, buddy.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Wrong. It is not thunder at all, but this Zebstrika, which comes barreling out of the stacks.]

What the fuck - ?

[we_meet_again]

Woah...!






They grow up fast!

[justfuckingtryit]

This can't be the Blitzle. It's as tall as I am!

[The Zebstrika seems intent on proving him wrong. It comes to a stop beside him and butts him with her head, affectionate. Also, almost hard enough to knock him over.]

[we_meet_again]

[Poking at his phone]

The phone says it's called a Zebsrika now. Apparently Blitzles turn into these.

[justfuckingtryit]

What, in fifteen minutes?

[He sets a hand on the Zebstrika, careful, and fixes her with a Look.]

You could have warned me.

[The Zebstrika snorts and stamps her foot.]

[we_meet_again]

Maybe that's what the flashing was about?

[justfuckingtryit]

[Considers this.]

...I guess it could have been.

[To the Zebstrika:]

Was it?

[She just stamps her foot again, harder than before.]

[we_meet_again]

...I still don't know what it's trying to tell you. I'm bad at this.

[justfuckingtryit]

...and now she's not even flashing.

So much for the code.
