20 - text/video/action for Mahogany Town;;

[islandshore]

video;

[There's a brief video in the Mahogany Gym.

The fight begins with the Dewgong. Due to its typing, Riku allows his Rotom to get the job done, darting around with a combo of Thunderbolt and Discharge. It's over quickly, due to a glaring level advantage and Riku's insistance to mow the enemies down.

Next up, Surge faces the Lapras with a similar ferocity. Despite its size advantage, the silly Rotom doesn't hesitate to strike with a barrage of electricity.

Lastly, Pryce sends out his Mamoswine. Riku steps back, allowing his Charizard to enter the fray. Seconds later, Flare strikes with a ferocious Blast Burn.

The battle ends, and Riku snatches the 'Gear from his Scizor.]

Kairi's gone. She disappeared when I hit Cianwood City. That was a few days ago.

Don't bother looking for me. I'm in Mahogany Town, and I'm going to Blackthorn City. Wanna know how I got here so fast?

Fly's a pretty useful move

[After that, folks around Mahogany Town might spot an extremely tired looking teenager entering and exiting the Pokémon Center. He'll fly as far as he can before he has to stop. That ice cave... it looks tough, but if he can get there in a few hours, he'll take those chances. For the cave itself, he'll let Flare do the hard work.

With his party packed, he'll stop long enough to get a bite to eat and gather supplies. After that, he'll hop right onto his Charizard's back and head for the Ice Cave, for better or worse.]

[ooc: All of Rikus badges are approved now-- no worries there. Also, Kia and I decided that Kairi actually left a few days ago, when Riku hit Cianwood. He left Cianwood that same day and flew straight for Mahogany. Yay!]

[... if he only knew how tired you are, what a lecture you're in for. Still, he knows there's more to that text given the situation.]

You're traveling alone?

I'm sorry to hear that. I know what's it like to be separated from your friends. Don't think you're truly alone though, you have friends here.

[Might as well remind him that, hopefully it'll give him some comfort.]

... I got one of her pokémon with me. I guess she really is gone...

I'm sorry, Riku.

Just be careful. If you can, please travel with people.

[You're reenacting canon and this is worrying her.]

[Gathering supplies in the store? How about running into a familiar face as he's grouching at the front counter guy for ripping him off of some extra cash.]

How about you work on your slight of hand before trying to pocket the spare change right in front of me, stupid?

[Of all the people... Ugh.]

Could you hurry up?

[He kind of wants to buy his supplies and leave.]

I'm busy -- [Turning, he narrows his eyes slightly. Something about this guy seems familiar, but maybe the bags under his eyes throw him off. Curling his lip in an almost trollish expression now, he shrugs and ignores as the cashier sliiiiides into a duck behind the counter.]

Holding a marathon on how long you can go without sleep? The darkness will overtake you at some point. [Really, he means sleep; or at least, the unconciousness it entails.]

[He's tempted to do text, but... it's AJ. She'll probably be able to pick up how tired he is, though.]

It's fine. I'll be okay. It's just been a busy week.

You don't sound fine.
