New Bark ☆ Route 29

[nevermagica]

[ Hitomi was quite confused. Suddenly faced with a confused woman who was not her actual mother and rushed out the door. She paused to look down at her Pokemon companion, a female Bulbasaur, who helped her discover that she could communicate through the PokeConnect. Hitomi turns the video feed on before thinking of what to say, quite frazzled and confused by her strange situation. ]

[ Video ]
Oh my, this is most... I don't really know the word, 'confusing' seems to be a bit of an understatement...

My name is Hitomi Shizuki. I hope someone may be able to hear me... I do not quite know where I am? I apologize if this seems silly or strange to say, but I'm quite certain I was not here before or even brought myself here. Any assistance in understanding how this happened would be greatly appreciated. Is there a taxi service I could call to bring me home again?

[ Action ☆ Route 29 ]
[ After she gets a handle on the situation, Hitomi will immediately head out along the route. It's not something she's used to. Going about by foot is very common back home but she walks on pavement and has signs to direct her. This is much different and the overwhelming nature of it all has put Hitomi into a slight daze. She almost forgot about the Bulbasaur that was following her until it called out its name. She pauses, letting it catch up. ]
My apologies, I'm still quite unused to this... oh, I suppose you may be lonely, hm? [ She stops to dig around in her bag and pulls out a Pokeball. ] Let's see if I can figure this out and find you a friend, shall we? I'm afraid I may be poor conversation in comparison...
[ One may find Hitomi struggling to master the art of Pokemon battles as she walks along the route, stopping for every wild Pokemon that her Bulbasaur sees. She calls out commands awkwardly and keeps switching up her combinations of growls and tackles. ]

It's lovely meeting you, Schild-kun. Oh, I'm sure she wasn't. Madoka-san is quite sweet, isn't she? But I still worry for her.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

She's one of the sweetest girls I've ever met! ... Huh? Why is that?

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

She's often very hard on herself. It concerns me to see her that way... But I'm sure something like this will be very good for her.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Heeeh... Are you sure that you're my age? Because you really do sound like a mature young lady.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't say that, though you are not the first to say such a thing... I'm still only fourteen. But the opinion is appreciated. I do hope to someday to be independent and mature, at least.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Um, by the way... Are you afraid of heights?

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

I believe I should be okay. I have traveled by airplane, at least. The view is always lovely enough to make up for any fright. Why do you ask?

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Well... I'll be picking you up by a fast-moving bird Pokemon and we won't have any protection like in airplanes. We'll even be able to touch the clouds if we go high enough!

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Oh my, is that so? I'm afraid I might be a bit startled at first... but I assure you, I'll be okay. I trust you and your Pokemon already.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

E-eh...!? [WOW FLUSTERED] T-that's... a pretty bold statement.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Arah? Bold? [ She thinks back a moment, wondering what was bold about it. ] I suppose, maybe I am giving myself too much credit? This will be my first time flying on a Pokemon, admittedly...

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

T-that's true. Well... If we do get some unexpected turbulence, you're welcome to hold onto me.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

If you're sure. I'll do my best not to trouble you.

Ah, this flying Pokemon. Does it have a name? I should be prepared to greet and thank it properly when you both arrive.

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Eh? Her name is Tenchi! She'll look like a giant steel bird if that provides a better mental image.

[balancetipping.livejournal.com]

Arah, a steel bird? So I suppose, she'll be like an airplane in some regards? That's quite poetic. I do look forward to meeting her.
