08. On the road! Back. Again. [Video/Action for Route 31]

[isthedeadcat]

[The feed opens to show some trees, a cave in the back, and Lion, who seems to be on the road once more.]

Good morning everyone. Hopefully everyone is also having a good day today.

Right now I'm back on Route 31, I'm going back a little to meet with someone from my world, but I should be back in Violet in a few days. [Lion did leave letters for Will and the most moe of the Beatos (and there is also a brb letter for Maria which I forgot but Lion wouldn't have), but well, letters are not the best communication method ever so have an extra message guys xD]

We decided to stop a bit, so that Seth could take a rest, he has been working very hard so we can get to our destination as fast as possible. [The pokégear now moves to show a Houndoom, having the best nap in the land of ever (with running in dreams and all the works!). It then moves to show the road.]
This is a nice place to see, now that there are no bug swarms all over; hopefully it will be a nice calm trip, unlike the last one. [Ooooh, you just jinxed it, Lion xD]


I also have a question.

I have been thinking of challenging some of the gyms. The rewards seem good enough, and I'm sure that the skills that can be obtained there would be a good addition to my plans for breeding pokémon.
Do you know which gyms have the most interesting rewards? Both learning and material rewards are good enough, I was just curious to know the opinions of others.


A bit of conversation would also be appreciated, it's been a while since I last was alone on the road.

Are you heading back to Cherrygrove, Ushiromiya-san? [You just can't let go of that place, can you...]

[ video ]

[isthedeadcat]

Just halfway, I'm going to meet someone who is traveling from Cherrygrove to Violet.

Though I do miss Cherrygrove a bit. [This is totally playful, Hina xD]

[tsunpresident.livejournal.com]

You've been there longer than I have though. [She takes it seriously. Yup.] Is it your relative that you're picking up?

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

For the gym in Cianwood, I got a Hidden Machine thingy that teaches my Pokemon to fly me to places!

[ video ]

[isthedeadcat]

That one sounds like a must, then.

Are you on your way to Cherrygrove, Lion?

[ video ]

[isthedeadcat]

Only halfway, mister Raines. I promised someone I would meet him on the road.

[uuing]

Uu-.. Is Lion going to pick up that guy who is actually Maria's grandfather..?

[ WAY TO REMEMBER NAMES THERE, MARIA. But okay. ]

... Then he's Lion's grandfather too, right? [ ... she went there. ]

[ video ]

[isthedeadcat]

[SOB, THAT HURTS, MARIA D:] That's right. I'm going to make sure he arrives safely to Violet.

Did you talk to him before?

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

I'm very curious about the TMs for the other gyms myself! If I could get a hold of Fly, then that would make traveling around much easier.

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

I heard from Cocona that you can get the Hidden Machine for Fly in the Cianwood gym.

What kind of rewards are you talking about? [Hiro tilts his head slightly] All I've heard about is that rumor that says we can leave if we get all eight.

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

There are individual rewards for beating each gym, usually technical machines or other useful items.

[Margarita is checking her PokéGear while taking a break in traveling, a forest scene (Ilex Forrest to be precise) and a Houndour sitting next to her. She's definitely been checking out the other response to see what information she could pick up, but gym badges aren't what she wants to comment on.]

Hi, Lion. So that's what Guardian [She pats the Houndour beside her] is going to evolve into eventually? Cool.

[isthedeadcat]

Hello miss Surprise, it's good to see you well.

Yes, Seth here is a Houndoom. They can be quite impressive... And also big enough to ride on them.

[Said houndoom is not exactly being awesome if we consider he's dreaming of chasing butterfrees, but let's not talk about it.]

Hi there Lion [Have here a relaxed Anew, she seems and sound a lot better than the last time she and Lion had the chance to speak]

Did a friend of yours show up in Jotho?

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

Anew, is good to see you well.

A member of my family, actually. I promised him we would meet up halfway.

[Video]

[buttpinched.livejournal.com]

You never learn.

[Video]

[isthedeadcat]

Of course I do, I have more than half a day of a head start.

[HAVE SMILES, WILL. LOTS OF SMILES. Lion may be trolling you xD]

Bug swarms...? [Kinzo raises an eyebrow. He's already seen a few of the bugs here, and knowing them, a swarm, well...]

Just what do you mean by a gym, Lion?

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

Yes, there were some terrible bug swarms last month, and an impressive heat wave. I was traveling this same road at that time, you can say that it wasn't exactly a pleasant trip.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Well, there's--

... ... ...

Wait, didn't I already tell you that all of them aside from Azalea have good rewards?

[video]

[isthedeadcat]

You did and I remember that, but I also wanted to hear what others had to say.

Asking for opinions is always a good conversation starter.

[just. staring at giant dog. s-sob]

S-s-s-s.... scary...

[isthedeadcat]

[Have a warm smile.]

He may look a bit scary, but he's only a big puppy, there is no need to get frightened.
