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 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.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 05:28 am (UTC)(She sighs while nodding lightly.) It was impossible to get her to come to the Dragon Migration with us, so if it's something really personal it'd take a while.
...She was? None of us were here, not even you...?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 05:34 am (UTC)[She'll just allow that, along with the implications, like Fluttershy having to watch them all vanish on her, one by one, to sink in.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 05:50 am (UTC)(It definitely sinks in, as Rainbow's expression changes rather abruptly -does Twilight recall when she was trapped in the Gorge?- and she wipes her face a few times. She's not crying...!)
...I can't even promise her I won't leave 'cause I've already left...!
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 06:14 am (UTC)[There's more than that, even, but Twilight thinks that's probably enough on its own.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 06:45 am (UTC)(Rainbow's eager to know if there's more but isn't sure if she should ask. This information enough was mind-blowing and painful. To know her childhood friend had gone through all of this for so long...)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 07:15 am (UTC)[This much Twilight feels okay talking about, because it's not really that hard to figure out on one's own if they know how long poor Fluttershy's been in Johto. The other details, like how she's starting to just wait for the moments her friends leave her, or how she found her special somepony only to lose them, need to wait.]
That's why I haven't left her side since you all went home the last time. I've... more or less taken on responsibility for her.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 07:38 am (UTC)(For now she's pleased with knowing this much, even though a part of Rainbow does want to know more. She can wait for the rest after she's met up with her friends.)
Well, if I could think of anypony to watch out for Fluttershy...I'm glad it was you, Twilight.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 08:25 am (UTC)[Twilight Sparkle's ego, fillies and gentlecolts.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 08:38 am (UTC)Besides, I've known her since we were fillies...but you were here for her for...a really long time, I'd bet!
(Rainbow Dash's loyalty before her own desires.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 08:52 am (UTC)But she's still not sure Rainbow's right.]
I... When it comes to bringing us together, I always kind of saw it as the other way around, really. I was trying to take everything on my shoulders, but none of you would let me do something so stupid, so... you went with me. You saved me from myself.
As for Discord, you're forgetting... I was the one who lead us into the maze and got you all into his clutches in the first place. Me saving you all that time was just me fixing my own mistakes. I mean, it was Fluttershy who-
[She stops there. She stops, and her hands, which clenched into fists halfway through her self-hating diatribe, start to relax.]
Fluttershy who... told me none of that was important, when I brought it up to her. That all that mattered was that I succeeded in the end, even if I made mistakes along the way.
... I'm being an idiot, aren't I?
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 09:02 am (UTC)For someone who I've called an egghead and a smart pony, you weren't acting like it! I've made tons of mistakes and somehow, they all worked out in the end! You should remember; I messed up big time in Cloudsdale during the Best Young Flyer's competition but still earned the title. And even when you saw I got...a little full of myself 'cause I loved being Ponyville's hero, who reminded me that I had to learn modesty?
(Not just Twilight, but Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie and Applejack...and it was a LOT.)
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 09:23 am (UTC)[Or she thinks she's done something wrong when she hasn't. A mental image of herself begging her friends not to hate her for saving the village from an Ursa Minor comes to mind. She tilts her head back, thinking it over.]
The fact is, I was thinking that each of you has something important you could do for her, to make her time here... better. I couldn't do any of what you girls could do for her, so how could she be better off with me? But I was forgetting something important.
[Video]
Date: 2012-12-14 09:28 am (UTC)...And what's that?
