babel_hacker | Day 24 - [Video] | [Action] Forward dated to 18th!

[April 18th.

It’s been a year since he arrived in Johto. Since he woke up in New Bark Town, greeted cheerfully by “Mom” and ushered out on his journey with Antec, his starter.

Antec, who used to be his quirky Chinchou. Now he’s an Lanturn, still quirky as ever with how he continue confused his trainer. What with how the water type Pokemon can manoeuvre on land. But after many months, Atsuro have gotten used to the sight.

That morning, he went to the Pokemon Center and switched his team around to his first, six Pokemon: Antec, Loupe, Asterisk, Pascal, Ada and Fortron. None of them as Fly-users, but he doesn’t mind. The young programmer isn’t planning on flying anywhere, just yet.

Exiting the Pokemon Center, Atsuro walks out with Antec next to him. The Lanturn follows his trainer, a bit confused but doesn’t speak up. Yet.] You know what today is, Antec?

Lanturn? [Well, no?]

...Today’s the day when we first met. [Standing at the entrance, facing Route 34, he makes his way over toward where the water is. A moment later, he let out his entire team. A Raticate, a Clefairy, Arcanine, Mightyena and a Porygon join his Lanturn. His team, his first, original team, watches their trainer. Only Antec, as his most loyal and longest Pokemon partner, knows what’s going on.

And then, Atsuro crouches down next to his starter and hug him.] Happy anniversary, Antec. I’m glad to have you and everyone as my Pokemon.

[His team watch, before they come closer to their trainer for a group hug. Happy anniversary, Atsuro.

Well, okay, it might be a bit hard for some of them to hug him but there’s snuggling and all around happy feeling sharing.

Although, this might be a strange sight to see for anyone wandering nearby. Whoops.]

[Later on, while watching his Pokemon play by the water, Atsuro stare at his PokeGear and before he finally turns it on.]

Happy anniversary, everyone. Today marks my first full year in Johto, for those who don’t know. I’m gonna aim for Kanto’s gyms next, but I won’t be leaving any time soon. So if you need me, I’ll still be here in Goldenrod.

...But I’m wondering about something. After getting all the badges from both Johto and Kanto, what’s next?

[Filtered to Souji]
Yo, Souji. I’m swinging by.

[NO QUESTIONS ASKED. LET’S HANG OUT.

Hope you don’t mind having a nerd coming over to the Breeding Center for you.]

[It was like Hiccup didn't hug his pokemon. Just...what.]

Yep. It's pret-ty good...

[...Great, now that that's been established.]

I'm not, uh, interrupting family matters, am I?

Interrupting? Uh...

[Yes? No? Then again, this is what he get for doing this in public... At least it's not the city. Ahahaha...hah.]

No?

Oh, good. Because I wasn't sure, and I really wouldn't want to be a bother...

[Hiccup edges even closer to the water's edge, releasing his Horsea, Magikarp, Tirtouga, and Dratini. All part of making Fish more sociable.]

You all seem really close... You must have been together for quite awhile, right?

Yeah... We've been together for about a year. Less for some of them who joined my team later.

[He smiles, reaching out to pet his Arcanine.]

I want them to know how much I appreciate them.

A year, huh...

[That was a long time... Hiccup had barely known Toothless for a fraction of that time, let alone his pokemon.]

Looks like they appreciate you, too.

We put up with each other, and some of them might cause trouble... [YES HE MEANS YOU FORTRON] ...but yeah, I'm glad they do.

[Antec will just be joining Hiccup's Pokemon in the water. Hiiii. ヾ(＾∇＾)]

[Fish's eyes go even more buggy, if possible, before he flits a bit further away to watch the others interact. The other three, though, greet Antec. Do you want to play y/y?]

I think every family has at least one troublemaker... Keeps things interesting, at least.

[Y, man. Very much y]

Interesting is one way of describing it. [His Porygon pretty much declared itself as the lord of Johto over the network.] But I wouldn't regret having Fortron around.

[Whoo!]

Yeah... I haven't known any of my pokemon for too long, but if I didn't have them, it would be weird, I think.

[Fortron is the best overlord.]

Which one is Fortron?

[Play time! /o/]

Fortron's my Porygon.

[Atsuro points to his Porygon, who looks up from talking to Asterisk. What. :|]

[Hiccup's eyes follow the gesture, and he waves at the two.]

Porygon... Huh. I've never seen a pokemon like that before.

[Looking aroundddd. Awh look, water pokemon playing. Except Fish.]

Actually, the only one I recognize is your Arcanine...

[His Pokemon spread out, doing their own thing.

Or, er, doing a challenge because they're rivals. Silly Arcanine and Mightyena.]

Really? Want to know who the others are?

[Hiccup returns his attention to Atsuro, a sheepish smile curling.]

If you don't mind, sure!

[One by one, he points to his Pokemon.]

Loupe over there is a Raticate. Pascal, my Arcanine, is doing some challenge thing with my Mightyena, Ada.

[Yep, those two are sure doing something. Rivalry.]

The pink one with Fortron is my Clefairy. And the fish playing with your Pokemon is my Lanturn.
