video/action for violet city

[chosen_light_child]

*Hikari's smiling as she activates the video feed function of the pokégear. There is some heavy breathing in the background, though the source of it isn't Hikari.*

Well, it took me long enough to get around to doing it, but I finally got my first badge.

*She holds up the Zephyr Badge, before quickly putting it away.*

Anyway, I also have a quick question, since well....

*She moves the pokégear to look behind her, showing a Charizard just relaxing and laying down behind her. The focus on him is only for a moment, before Hikari brings the device back to her.*

Anyway, now that I have a pokémon that I can ride on without feeling like I'm breaking every law of physics and risking danger, does anyone know where I can get the HM to teach him Fly? Or does anyone maybe have one that I can borrow? It'd be a lot easier for me to get around if I can fly on Charizard instead of having to walk everywhere.

*There's some snorting from Charizard in the background. It sounds like someone isn't exactly on board with Hikari's plan.*

[Since he already congratulated her a while ago (with another kiss on the cheek), Takeru takes time to fix his pokemon first. But when Hikari makes a post to her Gear, he can't help but overhear her words.]

I know Daisuke-kun had one before. I just never got to ask how he got it.

action

[chosen_light_child]

Me either. I didn't really think much about it at the time. I mean, it wasn't like I could ride on Pidgetto and Togekiss when they were Pidgey and Togetic.

action

[hopeboy]

Well, that wouldn't be possible.

[He approaches Hikari, his Emolga cheerfully flying towards him and perching on top of his head (or hat, for that matter) much like Patamon's habit.]

I mean Emolga here flies but I can't ride on him either. Same goes for Yanmega when he was still a Yanma. [Or Flygon and Aerodactyl at the moment.]

action

[chosen_light_child]

Yeah, that's why I didn't think of it.

Though I think it's probably still not possible to fly on Togekiss.

[video]

[newberktown]

Heh... Took me long enough, too, don't worry.

[Kind of...raising his eyebrow at that Charizard, though.]

In Johto, you can get Fly in Cianwood. I'm heading there myself, soon.

...Uhmn, so you don't have any other flying pokemon, huh?

[video]

[chosen_light_child]

Cianwood. That's... past Olivine. And I'd need Surf to go get it.

*She blinks a bit.*

Umm, no. I have a Pidgeotto and a Togekiss. Charizard's just the only one I can ride on without breaking a few laws of physics.

[video]

[newberktown]

[He nods.] You can get Surf in Olivine, but you'll need the Ecruteak badge to actually use it. Otherwise there's a ferry.

[...Hmmmmn.]

Those're both good pokemon for traveling--I've flown on both. Completely safe.

[video]

[chosen_light_child]

Actually, I don't need the badges for using the moves since I'm a breeder, though I'm planning on going up against all the gym leaders anyway.

But are you sure? I mean, I'm almost as big if not bigger than both of them.

[Video]

[duncansdontsing]

A badge for what?

[Yeah, somebody hasn't been reading their introductory guide to this place. Like, at all. Though he'd probably still sound just as apathetic even if he did know what you were talking about...]

[Video]

[chosen_light_child]

No one's told you about the pokemon league yet?

[Video]

[duncansdontsing]

You think I'd be askin' if they did?

[The "you idiot" there is implied. Heavily. Because Duncan's a bit of a jerk. A lot of a jerk, actually.]

So, what, we beat up the right people with these things and they give us prizes or somethin?

[Video]

[chosen_light_child]

Well, change "people" to "people's pokémon", and you have the general idea.

Though it has to be the specific Gym Leaders, and they all have pokémon that are decent as far as levels go.

[heartdive]

I'd help, but... I kinda got all of mine from Riku.

[chosen_light_child]

Hey, that's perfectly fine.

I mean, if he wanted to lend it to me so I could teach Charizard, I'd be okay with it and give it back. But well, you can't exactly make that decision for him.

[heartdive]

You could always ask too.

[chosen_light_child]

Well, yeah, that's true. But well, if he doesn't see this or answer, I'm sure I'll be able to get someone else to lend me one.

[comeatmibro]

You can borrow mine, sis. It'll take a little while for it to get there, 'cause I'm in Celadon, but you don't have to hurry to send it back, either.

video;

[chosen_light_child]

Really?

I don't mind that at all, and I'd try sending it back as fast as I can.

... Though now that I think about it, it's kinda weird that you can't send items to other people through the PC. I mean, you can do that for pokémon, after all.

video; sorry so late!

[comeatmibro]

Yeah, not a lot of stuff makes sense around here. You'll get used to it.

I'm sending the HM over with my Dragonite. His name is Haku. Just give him a treat when he gets there and we'll call it even, 'kay?

video;

[chosen_light_child]

Okay! Thanks. I'll be sure to stay in Violet until he gets here at least.

What type of treat does he like though?

Video

[nasa_dreams]

Hey, congrats! I'm not sure where you get Fly though.

Video

[chosen_light_child]

Thanks Danny.

And well, some people have told me that you can get it in Olivine. Which means I'm going to need a pokémon with surf in order to get there to get my own copy of the HM.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Really? I'm in Olivine now. Actually, my Blastoise knows Surf. Are you on your way here then?

[Video]

[digital_bingo]

I really don't get why Falkner wouldn't have the Fly HM. [Sulk.]

We came all this way and it's not even here!

[Video]

[chosen_light_child]

Well, I wasn't exactly coming here to get the ability to use Fly. It'd just be nice to have now that Charizard's... well, a Charizard.
