Day 37 - [Video] | [Action] at Pewter | [Text]

[babel_hacker]

Never expected to end up on a museum’s roof during that craziness. And stuck there for a while.

[The camera shows movements, as Atsuro walks down the stairs in the museum to the lower floors. He turns his ‘Gear to show some of the exhibits, as well as his Clefairy looking at some of them, before turning the screen to his face.]

I take it most people end up somewhere else entirely? I went from Fuchsia to...Pewter, I think. I’ll check in a moment. [Ah, there’s the reception area.] Where did you guys end up in? You get bonus points if you have a funny story to go with it. Even if you don’t have a funny story, just tell me anyway. I’m curious.

[Is he forgetting something?]

Oh yeah. Today’s also my birthday! I’d probably eat out with my Pokemon later. [Give the birthday boy guy your birthday greetings! Asterisk runs over to him, giving her trainer a celebratory cry. Happy birthday, Atsuro!] Thanks, Asterisk.

...It’s kinda weird to think I’m twenty years old already... If I was back home right now, I would be attending college right now and getting ready to enter the workforce.

Lemme spring up another question, if you're home right now, what would you be doing at your current age?

[So at some point in the afternoon, a text post appear on the network.]

[Guess whose Porygon went inside the PokeGear...

Some time after that post went up, another text appear.]

Please ignore that post! My Porygon put it up, not me!

I think so! You don't see a lot of them around, but sometimes you might get lucky and see someone with one or two.

[akito]

...That's so cool! [ he bounces Atmosphere in his arms cheerfully, eliciting happy cries from the Pokémon ] Atmo-kun is a lucky egg!

[babel_hacker]

[Aww. Atsuro smiles at the sight.] He is! Atmo is his name, right?

[akito]

Un! Short for Atmosphere. [ Atmo whines for more bouncing after Akito stops, and he's happy to indulge. ] He hatched on June 2^nd in Cherrygrove and does so well in his training!


And you should tell your Porygon that it was a very informative ad. If I was in the right region I might even try going on a date! [ possibly. maybe. Atsuro isn't his type (that is, stupid shounen boys that defy physics), but he isn't awful either. not boyfriend material, but a date-or-two material. ]

[babel_hacker]

That's a good name for him! And if he keeps up his training, Atmo might end up as one of the strongest Pokemon around!

[Which would be neat to see. A shiny Togepi kicking arse in battle.]

Wha--really? [He's surprised for a moment, before he quickly recovers.] I mean, I wouldn't mind if we are! Too bad I'm in Kanto right now.

[As long it's just a friendly, casual date, Atsuro have no problem with it. Beside, Akito isn't Yuzu]

[akito]

There is no 'might'! He definitely will be one of the strongest!

[ to which the Togepi trills happily at. because yes, he is going to be the strongest Pokémon ever and kick all the asses! ]

Un! Really! Even if you don't make my heart go dokidoki, I've never been on one before and they look like fun.

[babel_hacker]

If he does, I wouldn't mind battling him with one of my Pokemon!

[Can Atmo beat his best fighter, once he catch up..?!]

Dates can be fun, as long you have a good time with the other person! [Say the guy who...normally have brodates. He doesn't have a lot of dating experience, okay.] So even if I'm not the guy for you, we can still be friends anyway.

[akito]

As long as he doesn't mind either, I'll make sure to let you know when he's adequately trained!

Ah, have you been on one before? Are they very different from just spending time with a friend?

[babel_hacker]

Just give me a call or a text whenever he's ready!

And kinda? I went out for dinner with a friend on his birthday before as friends. [Far too long ago.] I guess the mood's kinda different? Going with someone and thinking it's to hang out is different from thinking of it as a date from the get-go.

[akito]

Alright!

Ah, and that makes sense! Like how two movies of the same genre can leave you feeling entirely different, ne?

[babel_hacker]

That's right! So in the end, it's all in how we approach this, if we ever got the time for this.

[akito]

Un, okay!

[babel_hacker]

I don't think I got your name, right?

[akito]

Oh! Sorry... I'm Wanijima Akito! It's good to meet you Atsuro-san.

[babel_hacker]

Nah, it's alright. Since it's pretty easy to talk without asking for names. But it's nice to meet you too, Akito!

[Atsuro's usually casual around other people, unless they're older than him or he respects them a lot.]
