isthedeadcat | 04. On Johto

Good afternoon everyone!

It has been a while since I last made a transmission, but the raising of pokémon can be quite time consuming when you have five children to look after.

[Oh, and talking about said children, there they are in the background. The Skarmory seems to be bragging about something to the Dratini (who is wearing a pretty pink ribbon in her neck)...]

I have been here for almost seven weeks now, and I have talked to many who want to go back and others who do not, or are not certain.

[And uh. Now Dratini is slapping Skarmory. With her tail. And somehow the Skarmory with all his awesome metal plating is being owned by her.

Charmander is of course on the side. Laughing the flame of his tail off.]

It's nothing but mere curiosity, but do you want to stay or do you want to leave?

I suppose it's only correct for me to start by saying that I am planning on staying in Johto for as long as I am able to. I find this place fascinating, and I wish to see as much of it as possible.

How about you?

Yup! Two of them are really good friends of mine!

I see...

Most of the people I have talked to have decided to either leave or stay based on those they love or appreciate...

I know that I would probably make a certain girl cry if I left one day, but... It would probably be for the best, right? After all, we're from two different worlds.

Do you love her, Maebara-san?

E-eh?! W-w-where did that question come from all of the sudden...!!?

Because that question can answer the question you did before.

... I want to say "yes", but... It's really confusing. I mean, it would never match up to how much she actually cares for me and...

That makes no sense, Maebara-san.

Love is no different than a flower. It will start as a small seed, and someday grow into something beautiful... And like flowers, that feeling of love can grow at different speeds in different situations.

It's all about nurturing it.

Um, um... I've never grown flowers even once in my life, though...

... Still, I couldn't possibly see myself staying in one place all for the sake of one person. I have family and friends that I want to see again too... Does choosing them over her make me a cruel person?

That is not for me to judge, Maebara-san...

But what I can say is that even if the seed of love takes time to grow, and even if the flower is small and weak when it is young, it would only be right for the two of you to work as hard as possible to create a third choice.

... ... ... Are you saying that it would be possible to take Luci home with me?

I remember we talked about miracles when we first met... If you believe in that seed of love, then fight for your miracle.

Of course! Doing the impossible is what I'm all about!

Still, t-there could be complications when she comes to my world, though...

[Like mom not accepting that you want to marry a paperweight? XDDDD]

I want to believe that the miracle and your love would take care of most problems... I'm not the kind of person who settles for halfway miracles, and neither should you be.

... You're right. I'm gonna believe in a happy ending for me and Luci! No matter what the odds, I'm going to make it come true!

Now that sounds a lot better.

Moving on from that subject... Did you get any chocolates on Valentine's Day?

I got a few yes... It was surprising, considering that I haven't been here for too long.

How about you?

... ... ...

I did get some chocolates, but there are some parts of that damn holiday I want to forget.

Ah... It doesn't sound too well when you say it like that...

Did things get better at least?

... Well, I can't complain that things got better at the end. But mostly because I could spend it with my friends.

I just hope White Day will be a lot more peaceful than that one.

I'm sure it will be as long as you remember that your gifts should be at least twice as expensive as the ones you received.

--HAAAAAAH!? Wait, wait, wait! You're kidding! You're absolutely joking around, right...?!!

Twice to thrice is only the correct thing to do, everyone knows that, Maebara-san.

How was I supposed to know that I had to return the favors tenfold....!!!?
