foolishwren | 91. [Video/Action for Cianwood City]

Okay-- OKAY, OKAY, hang on, I got it!

All right, get back.

_{[The sound of big reptilian feet plodding backwards through wet sand can be heard as the camera shows a wobbly view of.... Sunny the Togekiss standing on an appropriately sunny Cianwood beach. The water's lapping at the shore, the sky is bright blue, it's totally beautiful.]

[A PERFECT day to test out the new, hard-earned skill gotten from beating Chuck in a furious fist-fight (and some obligatory after-battle arm-wrestling): Fly.]

[Perched precariously on the back of the big white marshmallow-bird is Heather, kneeling and holding onto the thick white plumage with both hands. She's got a determined expression.]}

Okay. Let's give it a try. I-- no, Dad, it's gonna be FINE, that's why I'm practicing on the BEACH, remember? Sand is soft!

OKAY.

Ready, girl?

Let's-- oh shit aw HELL--

_{[With some gentle but powerful WHOMPS, the Togekiss had begun to serenely flap its pillowy wings and take off. ... Without Heather, because Heather has no idea how the hell to ride a flying thing and was promptly jostled off by the wing motion.]

[Touching down again, Sunny trills and lovingly sits upon the face-down Heather like any caring bird mother might with a stupid bird baby that crash-landed after trying to fly.]}

... Okay.

This could take a little practice.

Heh, if you get there before I do, I'd really appreciate that.

There... is a postal service here, I think. I've sent some stuff with it before.

Ah, right. I actually forgot about that... huh.

[She shakes her head tiredly.]

I'll take a look around. It's not like I'm going to be long. Not now that I know the route.

Gotcha. No rush.

I'll figure something out, harness or not.

... How you been doing? Wild Pokemon aren't givin' you too hard a time, are they?

_{[They're a hell of a lot better than the monsters in Silent Hill, but that still doesn't mean it's fun to get chased through the woods by a horde of angry purple rats.]}

...they're a bit of a pain. But I guess that's my fault for not... Training properly. I kept trying to run away, so I didn't really get all that much stronger at fighting them.

Ooh. Yeah.

Take it from me, it's a pretty good idea to let your Pokemon tussle with the wild ones.

The wilderness gets meaner the further along you get and they could use the practice.
