027 - How many years have we spent acting, cast as best friends?

[bestwishes]

[Today, Ash can be found hanging down at the park. Of course, there's nothing unusual about this, he often spends his time there training his Pokémon. What is unusual is the fact that with the exception of Pikachu, none of his Pokémon are anywhere to be seen.]

Oh man, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but...

Chuu...

[Pikachu sighed as Ash paced back and forth. His trainer had been like this ever since recovering from a recent bout of the cooties. Feel free to speak to either the trainer or the mouse, although keep in mind that Ash will most likely pretend like nothing is wrong.]

[Ruri watches Ash sulk about for a bit from her usual drone watching spot then walks over.]

"Ash.... You have a large yellow animal trying to get your attention."

[bestwishes]

Huh? Oh, right. He's just my buddy, Pikachu.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Hello Pikachu."

[She nods to the big yellow rat then looks over Ash]

[bestwishes]

Pikachu!

So, how you doin', Ruri?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I'm ok. How are you?"

[bestwishes]

I'm doing great! Y'know, just chilling and thinking about stuff...

Pikapi...

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Oh?"

[She blinks at Ash, and stares at him with those big, deadpan, amber eyes]

[bestwishes]

It's nothing that important. No need to w--have any concerns about it.

[Keeps staring]

"Oh?"

[asjasgbsjv oh god there's Ash

what do

maybe if she walks the other way quickly]

[bestwishes]

[Ash is content to pretend he didn't see her for the sake of avoiding awkwardness. Pikachu however wants to get things sorted. And so he calls Dawn's name out to her.]

Pikaka!

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Oh... haha... didn't see you there, Pikachu! Hi!

[bestwishes]

Pikapi! Pikaka chu!

[He jumps up onto Ash's shoulder and points over at Dawn.]

Oh, uh... Hey Dawn.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

[Rubbing her elbow, shuffling her feet...]

Oh... hi, Ash.

[bestwishes]

... Nice weather, huh?

Chu!

[Pikachu gave his trainer a light jolt to remind him of what was important. Without Brock around, he was practically the only one mature enough to handle these two.]

Ack! Oh, so uh... About the other day...

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Uh... yeah?

[bestwishes]

Well, you and me, we sort of...

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Yoohooo~~!!! Ash from Pallet~~~!!!!!



So there you are! I was looking for you~!!!

[bestwishes]

Oh, uh... Hey Blue. What's up?

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

I got one of my Pokemon back~ I figured we should take count of how many trainers have Pokemon back and arrange some training~.

You sick?

[bestwishes]

I'm fine! So, training you say?

[... And amazingly, he is completely fine with no sign at all of what was bothering him. What can I say? The kid loves training Pokémon.]

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Of course! Can't let our Pokemon get out of shape while we're here, right? And they'll be more useful if we practice~.

[bestwishes]

I've spent a good amount of time training already, but it's been a while since I've had an actual opponent to train with.

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Then it sounds like we've got a deal, hm? And since I'm sure the other trainers here will get their Pokemon back, we should try to all train together~

[bestwishes]

Sounds like a plan to me! Right, Pikachu?

Pi Kachu!!
