Thread 5: Two birds with one stone (quietblack)

[stalkerwithacap]

[The two birds being: 1) relieving frustration, and 2) getting back in shape after recent events made him laze around too much.
So he's training. Again. Thankfully it's not as violent as the last time you might've found him at it, but he's used the fact that the girls were occupied with Beryl and Sapphire is sleeping to go out and get a good workout, and now he's gone to practicing hits and dodges. The dummy's back, in a better state than last time.
He's not caught up in it as much as last time so he'll probably feel anyone approaching]

[He closes his eyes and hangs his head down.]

Wh-what strength? Everyone can start their own Pokemon journey.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

Grab a pokemon, go off for a mostly risk-free adventure, have fun, yeah.
Looking for someone in such a big world... that takes a lot of courage.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

But... she doesn't wanna be found. Just being selfish, 'cause I miss her...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

You sure of that? She talked to you when she left, right?
And that proves my point. Takes even more guts if you think she doesn't want to be found.

... there's nothing wrong with following your feelings, you know. Even if it's a bit selfish.
[says the guy who should have learnt not to always follow his heart by now]

[There's a reason he hadn't told anyone he was going after his sister. It hurt just talking about her.]

Ye-yeah, I guess...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[... and now he hears the hurt in your voice. Well, time to try and cheer you up]
Hey, at least you got to meet your guys this way. That's worth it, right?

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[That gets a small smile. He nods, but doesn't look up.]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[He'll catch your shoulder and smile. Cheer up, Dot!]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[He looks up then, still with the smile.]

Thanks...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[cheerful mock punch to the other shoulder]
C'mon, we're gonna freeze out there. Want in?

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[His smile gets bigger and he laughs a little.]

Yeah, Pokabu will be mad at me if he knows I got cold and didn't let him out. It really tires him out though...

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

I love how hyper your team is. All right, let's go~
[leading the way]

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[And following~ He loves it when people compliment his team. He laughs again.]

Well, they kinda picked me.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[laugh] Really?

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Yup. Terrie just started following me one day, and Mame decided he liked me after he stole my lunch.

1/2

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[grin] For real? Guess they really liked you.

2/2

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[/trollface] So charismatic.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[Hey now...]

Don't have to be as energetic as they do. Just need to know that I care about 'em.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[grin] They'd be blind if they didn't see it.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Not all that hard to do. Just gotta know your limits. [His expression gets a little grim here.] Got Yanappu out of a situation like that... His old trainer loved Pokemon, but she couldn't handle too many at a time... Yanappu was being neglected... I tried to give her some tips, but she gave him to me instead. Said he was starting to distrust her and that I could take better care of him... [Shrug]

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you will.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he already seems a lot happier.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

[hair-- well, hat ruffle, however that works]
They're lucky to have a trainer like you.

[quietblack.livejournal.com]

[He blushes a little and smiles]

...Thanks.

[stalkerwithacap.livejournal.com]

... you know, I kinda felt guilty when I got Spark.
