bestofthebest(As the PokeGear clicks on, unbeknownst to the trainer who wields it, Rainbow Dash has kinda gotten used to her body and use of her legs by now and despite the coldness of the day - but not up early in the morning; this is Dash we're talking about - she doesn't totally mind dealing with the weather while trekking to Violet, eager to meet up with her friends.
The girl had stopped briefly in Cherrygrove Monday afternoon for a night's rest and some much-needed items, like some potions to tend to her Pokemon if they got hurt, food for herself since it would take a week before she saw another city and a little more Pokemon food. Yes, potions as well as regular and Pokemon food. The girl does think ahead sometimes. (She also bought a pair of shades to show off her 'coolness' during future Gym battles.)
What was already with her, as in what she'd found in the backpack was the usual essentials a new trainer needed and an extra set of clothes: a jacket, pants, fingerless gloves and a hat. (Rainbow uses the jacket to hide her chest, as per Twilight's request.)
Before getting back on the path, Dash has currently taken up jogging as a way to test out her feet and legs on how fast she is; at the same time, she's trying to perform daring feats of unpredictable skill against nearby trees that she shouldn't have yet as evidenced by the way she wobbles every now and then to try and maintain her balance.
As she tries another fantastic, not-really-planned move she glances down to notice Blaze holding up the 'Gear and suddenly trips before crashing to the ground with a scream.)
...Blaze! Who said you could turn on my 'Gear like that? (She sighs before tugging it from Blaze's hands.)
Sorry about that; obviously Blaze felt like playing and turned it on, eheh. Oh, as long as I'm on...Twilight! I looked at that list and figured out which 5 I like best, but I already know what I'm gonna get.

Date: 2012-12-14 01:30 am (UTC)... Actually, scratch that last one. [After all, it's Rainbow Dash.] Just tell me what you decided to get.
[She'll ask about you trying to do gymnastics later.]
[OOC: Gelbooru doesn't appear to like me, but Twi probably wouldn't talk about outfits as long as they meet the basic standards of decency anyway.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 01:44 am (UTC)Thought about it for a while, and it came to me. What's the best compliment for a Fire Pokemon?
(By then, she'll have figured out what to name her new moves.)
(OOC: Aww. Bad Gelbooru! But yep, totally understandable and Rainbow would listen to a point before getting bored.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 01:49 am (UTC)Well, that kind of depends on what you're going to be fighting... I mean, the most obvious answer is a Water-type, since you'd get lots of coverage that way, and Water can take out Rock and Ground, which Fire's weak to. But you could also go for a Rock type, or a Grass Type, which could take out Water as well as Rock and Ground, so... There are a lot of options. Which one did you decide on?
[What, did you expect her to not nerd out on Poke-strategy? Silly you, Rainbow!]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:06 am (UTC)...You could've just said 'Water' and I'd get that easy. And yeah, there are a lot of options. Matter-of-fact, there are too many!
Anyway, after discussing it with Blaze I realized who to pick. I decided to get the turtle Pokemon!
(A beat.)
And I decided to get another with just a little bit of money~! I got some stuff before leaving Cherrygrove, and it shouldn't be too long before I get to Violet. Maybe another 3-4 days...?
(She should be there sometime Tuesday unless Twi's actually gotten the Fly HM.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:10 am (UTC)[Also, Turtwig is a tortoise.]
Well, that's definitely a decent choice. Which other one are you talking about, though?
[She'll mention the fact that she has, indeed, done just once she's more or less figured out Rainbow's plans for the next few days.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:18 am (UTC)(Really? Rainbow didn't think about what type Turtwig was.)
...I think it's called a Pichu? You mentioned something about getting an Electric-type.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:25 am (UTC)... I'm not quite sure why though. It's good, don't get me wrong, you definitely made a good choice, but personally I prefer my Magneton, Tesla when it comes to Electric types.
[... Twilight, it's because Pikachu (and Pichu, and Raichu) is adorable, and Magnemite and its evolutions are floating magnets with giant eyeballs. Well, except Magnezone, which is a miniature spaceship with giant eyeballs. Either way, not cute.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:33 am (UTC)A Magneton? I'm gonna have to get a real close look at your Pokemon when I catch up to you and Fluttershy, you know?
(That, and it's highly unlikely Rainbow would ever decide to get a Magnemite.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:37 am (UTC)I can show you Tesla right now, if you like.
[Just as well, really. If they all had the same Pokemon it would get confusing.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:45 am (UTC)(You're thinking of Gym Battles. One thing at a time, Rainbow.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 02:48 am (UTC)[She tosses up one of the balls, and out pops her faithful (and just slightly unnerving. Those eyes never blink.) Magneton.]
Say hello to my friend Rainbow Dash, Tesla.
[The response is a series of unintelligible beeps, buzzes, and clicks.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:09 am (UTC)...Heh, nice to meet you Tesla. Last time he was asleep, but this is my Pokemon Blaze!
(Rainbow motioned for Blaze to come closer, and he responded with a cheerful Charmander!)
That's my friend, Twilight Sparkle.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:17 am (UTC)[Tesla beeps again. It's completely untranslatable, even to other Pokemon. Poor Tesla just can't communicate.]
So, you were saying earlier that you'd already left Cherrygrove?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:31 am (UTC)Too bad a certain protocol droid wasn't changed to human and brought to Johto.)Yeah, a few days ago! We stayed one night, then left the next morning after breakfast. You said it'd take us about a week to get to Violet?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:40 am (UTC)FFFFF. "Hello sir, I am C-3PO, human-Pokemon relations"]Just about. You'll be about a day past the halfway point when it turns from Route 30 into Route 31 and you see the entrance to Dark cave. Careful if you decide to check it out in there, by the way, it's full of Geodude and Blaze will be weak to them.
Anyway, if that's where you are we'll probably be arriving in Violet before you, so we'll set things up. I beat Sabrina already and got the Fly HM, so it's just a matter of flying Spike over there. We'll be together quicker than even I thought!
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:55 am (UTC)LOL! ExactlyOh, and ignore that sudden expansion in her eyes. She totally didn't figure that by beating Sabrina another Badge was acquired.)
Yeah...if we stick around longer, I might wait until I get Squirtle first. Having only one Pokemon against all those Geodude? Not fun.
You mean like a party? I didn't know Pinkie Pie had shown up! But yeah-seeing you guys quicker than a week sounds great.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 03:58 am (UTC)We don't need Pinkie to celebrate having you join us, Rainbow.
Besides, we have to get ready for Hearth's Warming Eve, don't we?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:29 am (UTC)Yeah we do, but you know Pinkie does always throw the best parties. And I gotta get some kind of job if I'm gonna get you guys something.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:32 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:37 am (UTC)(A beat.)
...How's Fluttershy doing?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:44 am (UTC)Not that I'm not excited, mind you, but... well, she's practically beside herself.
[She smiles fondly, but there's a tinge of sadness in her eyes. Weird. Something she's not telling, perhaps?]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:54 am (UTC)(Ooh, maybe something Dash has chosen to keep super-secret herself? Naaah, it couldn't be! She'll deny it if directly asked.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 04:58 am (UTC)[And she immediately shuts up, as if realizing she just said too much. "Not again"? Now what could she mean by that?]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 05:09 am (UTC)...Does this have to do with that stuff you can't tell me over the Network?
(Now that Dash is all ears, Twilight is silent?! Her eyes show worry, some irritation at not knowing and that other something from earlier she'll still deny.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 05:16 am (UTC)[She sighs and rubs the back of her head.] Yeah, it... frankly, it's probably not my place to tell it at all, but I'm not really sure that she will.
I guess I can probably tell you that she was alone here for a while.
